'''Goriya''' (ゴーリア, ''Gōriya'') are to be found as enemy in most early games of [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]], first appearing in the original ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' and most recently in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]''. They are a race of creatures which have mastered the [[Boomerang]] as a tool of war, making them deadly in both short and long range combat.

==Characteristics==
==={{TLoZ|-}}===
{{Manual|TLoZ|Goriya|A little devil that lives underground. He uses boomerangs. There are two of his type, blue ones and red ones. Watch out for the blue ones! They are strong.}}
In {{TLoZ}}, {{Plural|TLoZ|Goriya}} appear only in {{Plural|TLoZ|Dungeon|link}}. They generally attack in groups of three or more. {{Term|TLoZ|Link}} finds the {{Term|TLoZ|Boomerang}} by defeating a group of {{Plural|TLoZ|Goriya}} in {{Term|TLoZ|Level-1|link}}. When defeated, {{Plural|TLoZ|Red Goriya}} may drop either a {{Term|TLoZ|Heart|link}}, one {{Term|TLoZ|Rupee|link}}, four {{Plural|TLoZ|Bomb|link}} or a {{Term|TLoZ|Clock|link}}.{{Note|If {{Term|TLoZ|Link|link}} defeats 10 enemies without getting hit or teleporting with the {{Term|TLoZ|Recorder|link}}, then the 10th enemy defeated will drop five {{Plural|TLoZ|Rupee|link}}. However, if the 10th enemy is defeated with a {{Term|TLoZ|Bomb|link}}, then it will drop four {{Plural|TLoZ|Bomb}}. If {{Term|TLoZ|Link}} defeats 16 enemies without getting hit or teleporting, then the 16th enemy will drop a {{Term|TLoZ|Fairy|link}}. After the 16th enemy, {{Term|TLoZ|Link}} must get hit and reset the counter to zero in order to achieve this effect again. Defeating {{Plural|TLoZ|Armos|link}}, {{Plural|TLoZ|Like Like|link}}, {{Plural|TLoZ|Keese|link}}, or {{Plural|TLoZ|Gel|link}} will not be counted.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote= |author= n.a. |published= n.d. |retrieved= August 17, 2017 |url= http://redcandle.us/The_Legend_of_Zelda#Forced_drops |title= Forced Drops |site= redcandle.us}}</ref>}}
 
In some {{Plural|TLoZ|Dungeon}}, a hungry {{Term|TLoZ|Goriya}} will be blocking the passage to the next room. When talked to, the Goriya's stomach grumbles,<ref>{{Cite|GRUMBLE,GRUMBLE...|Goriya|TLoZ}}</ref> vaguely hinting that the creature is hungry. It will refuse to budge until fed. To satisfy the monster and obtain entry, {{Term|TLoZ|Link}} must offer it {{Term|TLoZ|Food|link}} purchased from a {{Term|TLoZ|Shop}}.
 
==={{TAoL|-}}===
{{Manual|TAoL|Goriya|A little devil that attacks Link by using a boomerang. Fend off the boomerang with the shield. Watch out! These devils are on the plains and in the caves too.}}
In {{TAoL}}, the side-scrolling angle changes typical Goriya attack patterns. Instead of tossing their projectiles in random directions, they specifically target Link, and can have multiple Boomerangs in the air at one time, unlike their past incarnations. They can throw Boomerangs on either the "bottom" or "top" level, in the same way most bipedal enemies attack. Depending on the Boomerang's height, Link must choose to duck or stand to block the attacks with his shield.<ref>{{Cite Manual|quote= Fend off the Boomerang with shield.|game= TAoL|page=27}}</ref> If a Boomerang is thrown at the bottom level, it will return to the Goriya on the top level, and vice versa.
 
Goriyas now tend to appear in caves and fields more often than dungeons,<ref>{{Cite Manual|quote= These devils are on the plains and in the caves too.|game= TAoL|page=27}}</ref> and generally only appear alone or with a single partner instead of larger groups, perhaps due to the fact that they are now more challenging opponents.
 
==={{ALttP|-}}===
{{Main|Red Goriya, Green Goriya}}
{{Stub|ALttP}}
 
==={{LA|-}}===
{{Main|Item Trader}}
The Item Trader is a Goriya that trades items to [[Link]] on [[Toronbo Shores]] in {{LA}}.<ref>{{Cite Guide|quote= |game= LA|publisher= Nintendo|page= 108}}</ref>
 
==={{OoS|-}}===
[[File:OoS Goriya Sprite.png|left|60px]]
In {{OoS}}, Goriyas appear in the [[Gnarled Root Dungeon]]. They look identical to [[Moblin]]s, suggesting a relation between the two types of monster. They behave like their original incarnations in ''The Legend of Zelda''; wandering around the room and suddenly throwing Boomerangs to attack Link. Many of the enemies that appear in the [[Gnarled Root Dungeon]] evoke those that appeared in {{Term|TLoZ|Level 1|link}} of the original NES adventure, and these are no exception.
 
Also in the Gnarled Root Dungeon, a pair of bull-like Goriyas known as the [[Brother Goriyas]] appear as mini-bosses.


==''The Legend of Zelda''==
==={{ALBW|-}}===
[[File:GoriyaRed.png|left]]
{{Main|Red Goriya, Green Goriya}}
As with many enemies of the [[The Legend of Zelda (Game)|first ''Zelda'']], Goriya come in red and blue varieties, and only appear in dungeons.  Blue versions can survive more punishment and supposedly are more adept at attacking.  It is best to focus on defending their boomerangs first with [[Link|Link's]] shield, then attacking them while they wait for their weapon to return to them.  They seem to not directly attack Link, but instead walk around randomly before shooting their Boomerang in one of the four cardinal directions.  Goriya generally attack in groups of three or more.[[File:Goriya2.jpg|right]]
{{Stub|ALBW}}


Link can first obtain the [[Boomerang]] from defeating a red Goriya in [[Eagle Labyrinth]], and later obtains the [[Boomerang#Magical Boomerang|Magical Boomerang]] from killing a blue Goriya in the [[Moon Labyrinth]].
==Other Appearances==
==={{CN|-}}===
{{Noncanon|Start}}
[[File:Goriya (Captain N).png|thumb|right|120px|Goriya in ''Captain N: The Game Master'']]
A Goriya briefly appears in the "[[Having a Ball]]" episode of {{CN}}. After [[Link]], [[Princess Zelda]], Kevin, and Princess Lana arrive at the tunnel leading to the [[Island Palace]], a Goriya appears and rapidly begins to throw boomerangs nonstop toward the heroes. The boomerangs impede the group's progress, so Link uses his [[Magic Shield]] to block the attacks while the rest of the party follows closely behind. As the heroes approach the Goriya, Kevin uses his Zapper to defeat it, allowing them to continue to their destination.
{{Noncanon|End}}


In certain dungeons, a Goriya will be blocking passage to the next room, and only grumble at Link's presence.  To please the monster and obtain entry, Link must offer it [[Bait]] purchased from a shop.
==={{TLoZ|-}} (Valiant Comics)===
{{Noncanon|Start}}
In the {{TLoZ|Valiant Comics}}, Goriyas resemble their depiction in {{TAoL|-}}. They first appear in "[[The Legend of Zelda (Valiant Comics)/Issue 1#Missing in Action|Missing in Action]]" as one of the enemies that go after Princess Zelda and the Triforce of Wisdom. ''[[To the First Power]]'' also shows these foes capturing Link outside one of the [[Underworld]] entrances under the orders of a [[Wizzrobe]], and are later seen attacking Princess Zelda while she is inside {{Term|TLoZ|Level 1|link}}. After Link manages to take the [[Triforce of Power]] from Ganon in "[[The Power]]," several of Ganon's Goriya minions offer to serve Link, as they believe that he holds more power than their master,<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Link has powerful magic! Goriya serve Link! Link be master, not Ganon!|book= TLoZ (Valiant Comics)|publisher= |page= }}</ref> but Link refuses.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= No! What am I saying? Get away from me! Get out of here!|book= TLoZ (Valiant Comics)|publisher= |page=7}}</ref> However, when Link heads to a palace to search for Ganon, he is greeted outside by the same group of Goriyas that had offered to serve him.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Link let Goriya serve him now? Goriya MUST serve! Only Link has Triforce of Power! Only Link is worthy to be master!|book= TLoZ (Valiant Comics)|publisher= |page= }}</ref> This time, he accepts their aid,<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Hmmm... Well... Why not?|book= TLoZ (Valiant Comics)|publisher= |page= 1}}</ref> and the Goriyas give him a robe similar to that of Ganon's.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Link will rule! Link is king! Link wear King robes!|book= TLoZ (Valiant Comics)|publisher= |page= 1}}</ref>


==''The Adventure of Link''==
Goriyas appear once again in "[[The Legend of Zelda (Valiant Comics)/Issue 4#Queen of Hearts|Queen of Hearts]]," where they battle against Link and [[Queen Seline]] to keep them from breaking the magic container that will give the queen her magical powers back. They last make an appearance in ''[[Day of the Triforce]]'' as two Goriyas try to eat a captured [[Miff]] in Death Mountain.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Fairy made good snack! Not enough for two! Get lost!|book= TLoZ (Valiant Comics)|publisher= |page= 8}}</ref>
[[File:Goriya AoL.gif|left]]
{{Noncanon|End}}
The side-scrolling angle of ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]'' managed to skew the typical Goriya's attack pattern.  Instead of tossing their projectiles in random directions, they specifically target Link, and can have multiple boomerangs in the air at one time, unlike their past incarnations. They can throw boomerangs on either the "bottom" or "top" level, in the same way most bipedal enemies attack.  Link must duck and stand to block the accommodating attacks with his shield.  If a boomerang is thrown at the bottom level, it will return to the Goriya on the top level, and vice versa.


Goriya now tend to appear in caves more than dungeons, and generally only appear alone or with a single partner instead of larger groups, perhaps due to the fact that they're now more challenging.
==={{TSP|-}}===
{{Noncanon|Start}}
Goriyas are briefly mentioned in {{TSP}}. When the [[King of Hyrule]] calls an urgent meeting to take the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] to the [[Fifth Castle of Ancient Hyrule]], he mentions that a recent thunderstorm caused Goriyas to fall from the sky, most likely due to the fact that Ganon is becoming more powerful.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= 'And a scout from Ruberry tells me a thunderstorm last week produced a hail of Goriyas!' 'Goriyas? From the sky?' Murmurs of disbelief run up and down the council table. The king nods. 'It seems that Ganon's power is growing stronger.'|book= TSP|publisher= |page= 6, 7}}</ref>
{{Noncanon|End}}


==''A Link to the Past''==
==={{ZA|-}}===
[[File:Goriya ALttP.png|left|48px]] In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', Goriyas appear in the [[Palace of Darkness]], and their typical means of attack has been switched up.  They no longer use Boomerangs, but instead copy Link's movement pattern similar to [[Arm-Mimic]]s and [[Mask-Mimic]]s.  There is a green version, which several sword swipes will dispatch, and a red kind, which spits fireballs and must be killed with [[arrow]]s. They mirror Link's movement.
{{Noncanon|Start}}
In {{ZA}}, Goriyas resemble purple apes with white hair that throw massive Boomerangs. In this game, [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] can obtain the [[Spells of Zelda's Adventure#Boomerang|Boomerang]] the Goriyas use by defeating a small group of them in a clearing west of the [[Forest of Ogbam]].
{{Noncanon|End}}


==''Link's Awakening''==
==={{BSTLoZ|-}}===
Though only one appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', this Goriya is not an enemy, and even offers Link powerful support.  He can only be spoken with at the end of the [[Link's Awakening Trading Sequence|trading sequence]], at which point he will offer Link a [[Boomerang]], one of the most useful weapons in the game.
