Brother Goriyas

The Brother Goriyas are a pair of bull-like Goriya. One is red and the other blue, but there is otherwise no significant difference between the two. Together, they are the mini-boss of Gnarled Root Dungeon, the first dungeon of the game.

They share a Boomerang, thrown back and forth between each other while attempting to hit Link in the process. Although they can move quite fast compared to more common enemies, the brothers will stay in position when seeking to catch their partner's toss. Unlike typical bosses or mini-bosses, there is no specific weak point the brothers possess, as they can be stricken anywhere at anytime. When one is defeated, both will disappear. Therefore, the most effective strategy to defeating them is to attack one Goriya repeatedly to defeat it as soon as possible.

Defeating the Brother Goriyas grants Link access to a room holding Gnarled Root's dungeon item, a Seed Satchel already equipped with Ember Seeds.

Trivia

 * The Brother Goriyas appear to be based on Japanese Oni, horned devils in folklore that often appear as a pair, one red, and one blue.
