Miniblin

The Miniblin is the smallest and weakest member of Ganon's (and later Bellum's and Malladus's) evil army. They can be dispatched in one hit, and pose no real threat in terms of attack damage. However, they tend to appear in large groups, and their superior numbers can sometimes get the better of Link.

The Wind Waker
Miniblins made their debut in The Wind Waker. They use small pitchforks as weapons, and can be very dangerous to have around if Link has climbed his way to a high altitude. If Link finds himself facing a Miniblin swarm without his sword, he can drop All-Purpose Bait to distract them and make his escape. Miniblins make a characteristic "Nyeh Na..." and "Deh Dank!" sound. The Skull Hammer can be used to evoke humorous cries from them; smashing the ground will send nearby Miniblins sky high, and swinging it sideways will send them flying into nearby walls.

Phantom Hourglass
Miniblins also appear in Phantom Hourglass. In this game, they are less colorful, and their trademark call is replaced by a vaguely monkey-like screech. They also show slightly greater intelligence, as evidenced by their use of rudimentary strategy in battle; instead of charging head-on, a lone Miniblin will draw back and wait for its comrades to surround Link before attacking. A seaborne variant also exists, which has fins instead of ears and large, bright green goggles. These Miniblins are pirates, who sail about in heavily-armed ships and board any boat they come across (including Link's) to menace their inhabitants.

Spirit Tracks
Mounted Miniblins appear in Spirit Tracks. They are first encountered in the second visit to the Tower of Spirits. At first, those Miniblins seems invulnerable to attacks as neither the Phantom nor Link alone can cause damage and getting too close to strike it will cause the Armos to produce harmful spikes from its base. The mounted Miniblin can be defeated by using the Whirlwind on it from an elevated position, or from Phantom Zelda, then attacking it with the sword. The Armos it rides on will self-destruct in an explosion.

Led by a Big Blin, pirate Miniblins inhabit the Pirate Hideout where they keep prisoners in cells. When Link has a passenger with him, pirate Miniblins, traveling by ship or Tank, attack the Spirit Train in order to capture the passenger and bring him to their hideout. In the Pirate Hideout, Miniblins try to capture Link by throwing cages at him if he tries to rescue their prisoner.
