Brother Goriyas

The Goriya Bros. are a pair of Goriya, the only of their kind to appear in Oracle of Seasons (although a few Moblins attacking with boomerangs like Goriya are found throughout the game). 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.

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. The best strategy is to simply run up to the nearest one and slash it repeatedly. Since the Goryia Bros. have low endurance and each will be forced remain in one place for quite a few seconds, this method will probably be able to take both out before they can even get three boomerang throws in.

Defeat of the Goriya Brothers grants Link access to a room holding Gnarled Root's dungeon item, a Seed Satchel already equipped with Ember Seeds.
