The '''Octorok''' is a conventional, octopus-like enemy that has appeared in every [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Zelda'' game]] to date except ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', and has changed quite dramatically over the course of the series in terms of physicality and coloration.

{{ImageCaption|image=File:Octorok Artwork.png|size=150px|align=left|caption=Official art from ''The Legend of Zelda''|captionalign=center}}
{{Plural|Series|Octorok}} are {{Wp|octopus}}-like monsters best known for their method of attack; shooting rock projectiles from their cylindrical snouts in short intervals. They are common in {{Plural|Series|Overworld|link}} such as {{Term|Series|Hyrule|link}}, but occasionally appear inside {{Plural|Series|Dungeon|link}}. The characteristics of {{Plural|Series|Octorok}} and their method of attack varies from game to game, as does the habitat in which they are encountered. In their two-dimensional appearances, {{Plural|Series|Octorok}} are generally land-dwelling creatures that slowly crawl and occasionally shoot rocks. They usually appear more porcine or spider-like and are one of the more common and weaker enemies in the games. They can be defeated by any conventional weapon, such as the {{Term|Series|Sword|link}}, {{Term|Series|Bow|link}} and {{Term|Series|Arrow|link}}, {{Plural|Series|Bomb|link}}, or {{Term|Series|Boomerang|link}}.
The famous ''Octorok'' is an octopus-like creature that is best known for its method of attack; it  shoots circular projectiles from its cylindrical snout in short intervals, attempting to hit [[Link]] from afar. The rock shooting capabilities of the Octorok can occur at random intervals as in ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', in the cardinal directions, as in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', or simply in Link's direction, like in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''.
 
In their three dimensional appearances, however, {{Plural|Series|Octorok}} are often aquatic creatures that live in lakes or seas, much like their real-world counterparts. They emerge and spit rocks at {{Term|Series|Link|link}} from afar, immediately submerging underwater if he comes too close. These {{Plural|Series|Octorok}} can often be defeated by deflecting their rocks back at them with the {{Term|Series|Shield|link}},<ref>{{Cite|Octorok: Bounce back the rocks they spit at you!|Navi|OoT}}</ref> or by shooting projectile weapons at them.
 
{{Plural|Series|Octorok}} normally do not attack unless threatened, spitting rocks as a natural means to defend their territory.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= |book= E |publisher= |page= 104}}</ref>
 
A number of variants of {{Plural|Series|Octorok}} have also appeared in the series, with notable varieties including {{Plural|Series|Flying Octorok|link}}, {{Plural|Series|Golden Octorok|link}}, and {{Plural|Series|Octomine|link}}. {{Plural|Series|Big Octo|link}} are significantly larger {{Plural|Series|Octorok}} that often appear as {{Plural|Series|Sub-Boss|link}}. {{Term|TMC|Big Octorok|link}}, a normal-sized {{Term|Series|Octorok}} fought while {{Term|TMC|Link}} is {{Term|TMC|Minish|link}}-sized, also appears as a {{Term|Series|Boss|link}} in {{TMC}}.
 
==={{TLoZ|-}}===
{{Manual|TLoZ|Octorok|A type of octopus that lives above ground. There are two types, red and blue. Watch out for the blue ones. They're mean. They spit out rocks at Link.}}
{{Plural|TLoZ|Octorok}} are encountered throughout the {{Term|TLoZ|Overworld|link}} of {{Term|TLoZ|Hyrule}} in {{TLoZ}}, and are one of the earliest monsters {{Term|TLoZ|Link|link}} can encounter on his quest. They slowly crawl about in an aimless path, and randomly shoot rocks in either of the four cardinal directions; these rocks can be blocked by the {{Term|TLoZ|Shield|link}} if {{Term|TLoZ|Link}} is facing in their direction. {{Plural|TLoZ|Octorok}} come in [[Red Octorok|red]] and [[Blue Octorok|blue]] varieties, with the blue being the stronger one. When defeated, red {{Plural|TLoZ|Octorok}} may drop either a {{Term|TLoZ|Heart|link}}, a {{Term|TLoZ|Fairy|link}} or one {{Term|TLoZ|Rupee|link}}, while blue {{Plural|TLoZ|Octorok}} may drop either a {{Term|TLoZ|Heart}}, one {{Term|TLoZ|Rupee}}, 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>}}
 
==={{TAoL|-}}===
{{Manual|TAoL|Octorok|A type of octopus that lives above ground. They bounce and attack by spitting out rocks.}}
Octoroks appear as {{Term|TAoL|Overworld|link}} enemies in {{TAoL}}, most commonly found in {{Plural|TAoL|Cave|link}} and tunnels. Unlike their previous appearance, they possess the ability to jump, and shoot rocks with each hop they make. While they are much more active and aggressive in their attacks, they are still relatively weak enemies whose rocks can be blocked with the {{Term|TAoL|Shield|link}}. Red and blue {{Plural|TAoL|Octorok}} appear, with the blue variety being the stronger of the two.
 
In the Japanese Famicom Disk System version, blue {{Plural|TAoL|Octorok}} also appear inside {{Plural|TAoL|Palace|link}}. In the overseas release, however, blue {{Plural|TAoL|Aneru|link}} take their place instead, behaving similarly to {{Plural|TAoL|Octorok}}.
 
==={{ALttP|-}}===
{{Plural|ALttP|Octorok}} return to their roots in {{ALttP}} as grounded enemies encountered in the {{Term|ALttP|Overworld|link}} of {{Term|ALttP|Hyrule|link}}, though they behave slightly differently compared to their previous incarnations. {{Plural|ALttP|Octorok}} move in straight lines as they quickly scurry about, stopping only to unleash a barrage of rocks in every direction. Their quick and sudden movements and aggressive onslaught makes them harder to predict and defend against; however, like their previous incarnations, their rocks can be blocked with the {{Term|ALttP|Shield|link}}. They are common in eastern {{Term|ALttP|Hyrule}}, close to the {{Term|ALttP|Eastern Palace|link}}, near to the entrance to {{Term|ALttP|Zora's Waterfall|link}}, and in the {{Term|ALttP|Great Swamp|link}}.
 
A rare variant known as {{Plural|ALttP|Octoballoon|link}} appear on the southeastern ledge of {{Term|ALttP|Lake Hylia|link}}. They explode into {{Plural|ALttP|Puffer|link}} when approached or struck. The {{Term|ALttP|Dark World|link}} counterparts of {{Plural|ALttP|Octorok}} are {{Plural|ALttP|Slarok|link}}, which behave identically but are significantly stronger.
 
==={{LA|-}}===
{{Plural|LANS|Octorok}} in {{LA}} appear similarly to those in {{TLoZ}}; slow enemies that crawl along the ground and occasionally shoot a single stone. They can be found all over {{Term|LANS|Koholint Island|link}}, but are especially prolific at {{Term|LANS|Toronbo Shores|link}}. As slow, weak enemies, they are easily dispatched with the {{Term|LANS|Sword|link}}; however, when {{Term|LANS|Link|link}} first arrives to the {{Term|LANS|Toronbo Shores|display=Shores}} in search for his {{Term|LANS|Sword}}, he may encounter some without a weapon. Their stones can be blocked with the {{Term|LANS|Shield|link}} when it is held up, serving as {{Term|LANS|Link}}'s only defense against them until he retrieves his {{Term|LANS|Sword}}.
 
Winged variants, known as {{Plural|LANS|Flying Octorok|link}}, also appear and are first encountered in {{Term|LANS|Ukuku Prairie|link}}. They are able to fly overhead to evade {{Term|LANS|Link}}'s {{Term|LANS|Sword}}, usually landing behind him to attack.
 
==={{OoT|-}}===
{{Navi
|quote1= {{Color|OoT White|Octorok}}<br/>Bounce back the rocks they spit at you!
}}
 
{{Plural|OoT3D|Octorok}} in {{OoT}} look and behave differently compared to their earlier incarnations, as purple octopuses with glowing, green eyes that lurk in the water instead of on land. These {{Plural|OoT3D|Octorok}} are the first of the "aquatic" {{Plural|Series|Octorok}}, who emerge from bodies of water to attack {{Term|Series|Link|link}} from afar with their projectile stones. When approached, they will immediately submerge underwater to avoid harm. Since they cannot be attacked directly or stunned, {{Plural|OoT3D|Octorok}} can only be killed by either shooting {{Plural|OoT3D|Arrow|link}} at them, or by using the {{Term|OoT3D|Shield|link}} to deflect the rocks they spit back at them, which will defeat them in one hit. They can be found in {{Term|OoT3D|Lake Hylia|link}} as well as {{Term|OoT3D|Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly|link}}.


This foe is also known for its top-heavy appearance and large eyes, seen vividly in the console titles; it adopted more of a spider-like appearance in titles such as ''A Link to the Past'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords|Four Swords]]'', and the [[Oracle Series|''Oracle'' games]], and by comparison looks a bit more squid-like in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', ''Phantom Hourglass'', and ''Spirit Tracks''. However, in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'', which is the first 3D game in which Octoroks appear as land-based creatures, bushes adorn the top part of these enemies, making their resemblance much closer to that of a [[Deku Scrub]].
A much larger {{Term|OoT3D|Octorok}} known as {{Term|OoT3D|Big Octo|link}} appears as the {{Term|OoT3D|Sub-Boss|link}} {{Term|OoT3D|Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly}}. This {{Term|OoT3D|Octorok}} crawls around a cramped space rather than residing underwater, and attempts to crush and shove {{Term|OoT3D|Link}} as it moves.

==={{MM|-}}===
Debuting in the original ''Legend of Zelda'', the Octorok has changed little in terms of behavior across the series, varying the most in the fields of adaptivity and coloration. Standard Octoroks, primarily in the 2D titles, are smaller than Link, receiving a significant size increase into the console games, to reach their largest physical size in ''The Wind Waker'', ''Phantom Hourglass'', and ''Spirit Tracks'', rivaling the size of the [[King of Red Lions]], [[S.S. Linebeck]], and  [[Spirit Train]], respectively. Regardless of size, Octoroks are seldom seen isolated. For example, few instances in ''Four Swords Adventures'' showcase Octorok population densities in upwards of forty creatures per screen. In addition, many Octoroks may populate an area but may not be in close proximity - the [[Zora's River]] region in ''Ocarina of Time'' is a good example of the distance between these creatures within a single region.

}}


Only in ''Ocarina of Time'' and ''The Wind Waker'' does the Octorok appear as a mini-boss, the former waging against Link in a spiked circular arena deep within [[Lord Jabu Jabu]], the latter appearing several times across the [[Great Sea]] with different numbers of eyes, safeguarding treasures from [[Rupees]] to [[Heart Container#Piece of Heart|Pieces of Heart]]. One of the [[Big Octo]]s, as they are called in both titles, in ''The Wind Waker'' holds the very [[Great Fairy]] hostage that will reward Link an extension to his [[Magic Meter]] if rescued.
{{Plural|MM3D|Octorok}} in {{MM}} appear identical to their appearance in {{OoT}}. They live in bodies of water, and can normally only be killed by shooting {{Plural|MM3D|Arrow|link}} at them or by deflecting their shots with the {{Term|MM3D|Shield|link}}. Like most enemies, {{Plural|MM3D|Octorok}} can also be frozen into a solid block of ice by shooting at them with {{Plural|MM3D|Ice Arrow|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|If you could somehow step on top of that Octorok, I bet you'd be able to climb onto that central pillar. But the Octorok is so squishy and it keeps squirming around...There's gotta be something you can do!|Tatl|MM}}</ref> Once frozen, they can then be used as platforms to cross wide gaps of water until they thaw out. This is used to cross a body of water in the {{Term|MM3D|Great Bay Temple|link}}, and most notably at the {{Term|MM3D|Ikana River|link}} to cross over to the upper portion of {{Term|MM3D|Ikana Canyon|link}} — both places where {{Plural|MM3D|Octorok}} can be found. In {{MM3D}}, these {{Plural|MM3D|Octorok}} appear blue and sparkle to visually indicate that they can be frozen by the {{Plural|MM3D|Ice Arrow}}.


{{figurine|TMC|Octorok| Appears in various areas. There are red and blue ones. They've appeared in every Zelda game to date. They spit rocks, so careful!|[[File:Octorok Figurine.gif‎]]}}
{{Plural|MM3D|Big Octo|link}} also appear in {{MM|-}} in the {{Term|MM3D|Southern Swamp|link}}, blocking several passages to other locations of the {{Term|MM3D|Southern Swamp|display=Swamp}}.
{{figurine|TWW|Octorok|Habitat: The Forest Haven, Great Sea<br>Winner of the Perfect Attendance Award<br>When approached, these creatures tend to hide in the water. They can easily be defeated by reflecting the rocks they shoot with a sword or shield.|[[File:Octorok Figurine.png|130px]]}}
 
==={{OoS|-}}===
{{Plural|OoS|Octorok}} appear in {{OoS}} identical to their appearance in {{LA}}. They are commonly found throughout the lands of {{Term|OoS|Holodrum|link}}. A blue-colored variety also appears, which is stronger and more durable than the regular red variety.
 
The {{Term|OoS|Octo Ring|link}} can be worn to give {{Term|OoS|Link|link}} the appearance of a green {{Term|OoS|Octorok}}.
 
A {{Term|OoS|Golden Octorok|link}} also appears in {{OoS|-}}, appearing after {{Term|OoS|Link}} has spoken to an {{Term|OoS|Old Man|link}} wearing a golden robe. This {{Term|OoS|Golden Octorok}} can be found in {{Term|OoS|Spool Swamp|link}} in the {{Term|OoS|Summer|link}}. This variety is much more aggressive and far stronger than the ordinary varieties.
 
==={{OoA|-}}===
{{Plural|OoA|Octorok}} appear in {{OoA}} identical to their appearance in {{LA}}. They are commonly found throughout the lands of {{Term|OoA|Labrynna|link}}. A blue-colored variety also appears, which is stronger and more durable than the regular red variety.
 
The {{Term|OoA|Octo Ring|link}} can be worn to give {{Term|OoA|Link|link}} the appearance of a green {{Term|OoA|Octorok}}.
 
==={{FS|-}}===
{{Plural|FS|Octorok}} in {{FS}} appear much like their incarnations in {{LA}}, {{OoS}}, and {{OoA}}. They slowly wander different areas and shoot rocks at intruders. They are relatively weak enemies, and can be easily defeated with the {{Term|FS|Sword|link}}. They can be found in the {{Term|FS|Sea of Trees|link}} and {{Term|FS|Vaati's Palace|link}}.

{{Plural|TWWHD|Octorok}} come in two types in {{TWW}}: a freshwater and a sea-inhabiting type. Both types of {{Term|TWWHD|Octorok}} behave identically to those from {{OoT|-}} and {{MM|-}}, emerging from their respective bodies of water to shoot a spiked rock, which can then be deflected using either the {{Term|TWWHD|Shield|link}} or by striking it with the {{Term|TWWHD|Sword|link}}. The deflected rock will instantly defeat the {{Term|TWWHD|Octorok}} as it hits. Freshwater {{Plural|TWWHD|Octorok}} are characterized by their purple color and swirling pattern on their mantle. They most notably appear in the rivers leading up to the {{Term|TWWHD|Forest Haven|link}}. Sea-inhabiting {{Plural|TWWHD|Octorok}} are pink and have a spiked, shell-like mantle. They also differ in that the projectiles they spit are explosive. They are encountered only in the {{Term|TWWHD|Great Sea|link}}.
 
Gigantic variants known as {{Plural|TWWHD|Big Octo|link}} also appear throughout the {{Term|TWWHD|Great Sea|link}}. They emerge from whirlpools and attack {{Term|TWWHD|Link|link}} as the whirlpool gradually brings him and the {{Term|TWWHD|King of Red Lions|link}} into its mouth. They can only be defeated by shooting {{Plural|TWWHD|Bomb|link}} into their eyes with the {{Term|TWWHD|Cannon|link}} or by firing {{Plural|TWWHD|Arrow|link}} from the {{Term|TWWHD|Bow|link}}.
 
==={{FSA|-}}===
{{Main|Blue Octorok}}
[[File:FSA Blue Octorok Sprite.png|right]]
[[File:FSA Purple Octorok Sprite.png|right]]
{{Plural|FSA|Octorok}} are encountered in a few stages in {{FSA}}, most commonly near large bodies of water such as {{Term|FSA|The Coast|link}} and {{Term|FSA|The Swamp|link}}. They are typically found congregating in groups, attacking occasionally as they patrol their territory. They come in three color varieties; red, blue, and the rare purple. The red variety simply scurries about and shoots rocks, while the blue variety behaves more like the {{Plural|ALttP|Octorok}} from {{ALttP}}, stopping to shoot a barrage of rocks in every direction. Purple {{Plural|FSA|Octorok}} are the most hostile, consciously aiming at the {{Plural|FSA|Links|link}} and unleashing a flurry of rocks at them.

==Varieties==
==={{TMC|-}}===
While the grand majority of Octoroks differ in color, there are few species that inhibit unique traits. ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]'' introduces the only jumping Octorok to the series, while ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'' provides the ''Zelda'' saga with its only [[#Winged Octorok|Winged Octorok]], one that can evade sword slashes, but not an attack using the [[Roc's Feather]]. Other than that, however, Octoroks differ only in their coloration and physical appearance between games.
{{Plural|TMC|Octorok}} in {{TMC}} behave much like their {{FS|-}} incarnation. They can be found throughout {{Term|TMC|Hyrule|link}} in various areas, most commonly around the different sections of {{Term|TMC|Hyrule Field|link}} and {{Term|TMC|Lon Lon Ranch|link}}. They come in red and blue varieties; red {{Plural|TMC|Octorok}} are docile creatures, rarely shooting rocks unless {{Term|TMC|Link|link}} is in close proximity to them. The blue variants, however, common to {{Term|TMC|Lake Hylia|link}}, are much more aggressive and constantly expel rocks around them even when {{Term|TMC|Link}} is not near.
 
{{Plural|TMC|Golden Octorok|link}} also appear in {{TMC}} as a much rarer and more violent variety. They appear once {{Term|TMC|Link}} has {{Term|TMC|Kinstone Fusion|link|display=Fused}} {{Plural|TMC|Kinstone|link}} with certain people across {{Term|TMC|Hyrule}}.
 
An ordinary {{Term|TMC|Octorok}} covered in vines is also faced as the {{Term|TMC|Boss|link}} of the {{Term|TMC|Temple of Droplets|link}}; however, it appears gigantic due to {{Term|TMC|Link}} being {{Term|TMC|Minish|link}}-sized, and is therefore called the {{Term|TMC|Big Octorok|link}}.

===Coloration===
==={{PH|-}}===
====Red and Blue Octoroks====
{{Plural|PH|Octorok}} in {{PH}} come in two distinct varieties: a short and squat land-dwelling variant akin to their traditional appearance, and a sea-inhabiting type very much like those in {{TWW|-}}.
[[File:OctorokOracleBlue.png|left|30px]][[File:OctorokOracleRed.png|left|30px]]
Since the Octorok debuted in ''The Legend of Zelda'', the apparent strength of the foe has been polarized through differences in color. Speaking of, the two mainstream varieties that exist in ''The Legend of Zelda'', ''Four Swords Adventures'', and the ''Oracle'' titles are of the red and blue variety, the latter being the stronger and the only one of the two to spit rocks.<ref>{{cite manual|quote=A type of octopus that lives above the ground. They come in two varieties, red and blue. Watch out for the blue ones. They're mean. They spit out rocks at Link.|game=The Legend of Zelda|page=29}}</ref>


Only the red and the red Winged variety appear in ''Link's Awakening'', the former of which is the solitary staple in the previous two titles, ''The Adventure of Link'' and ''A Link to the Past''.
Land {{Plural|PH|Octorok}} appear as slow-moving red creatures. They spit rocks at {{Term|PH|Link|link}} whenever he is nearby, and are typically encountered in small groups. They are basic enemies who can be killed by most weapons, but can also be momentarily stunned with the {{Term|PH|Boomerang|link}}. They are uncommon enemies that are usually encountered inside {{Plural|PH|Cave|link}} or {{Plural|Series|Dungeon|link}} as opposed to the surface. They appear in the basement of {{Term|PH|Astrid|link}}'s house on the {{Term|PH|Isle of Ember|link}}, inside the {{Term|PH|Temple of Fire|link}}, on {{Term|PH|Molida Island|link}}, and in the {{Term|PH|Temple of Courage|link}}.


====Pink and Purple Octoroks====
{{Plural|PH|Ocean Octorok|link}} differ, being are significantly larger,<ref>{{Cite Guide|quote= |game= PH|publisher= Prima|page= 28}}</ref> and pink-colored with an oversized, yellow mantle bearing a swirling symbol. Like those of {{TWW|-}}, they appear from the depths of the sea to attack.
{{ImageCaption|image=File:Octorok Figurine.png|size=250px|align=right|caption=The two color varieties of Octorok in ''The Wind Waker''|captionalign=center}}
The standard Octoroks seen in ''Ocarina of Time'' and ''Majora's Mask'' are purple, a trend carried into ''Phantom Hourglass'' and ''Spirit Tracks''. In ''The Wind Waker'', a pink and purple variety exist, the former shoots [[Bomb]]s instead of rocks and appears frequently across the expanse of the Great Sea, while the latter remains a traditional rock-shooter appearing only in freshwater locales such as the [[Forest Haven]]. In ''Four Swords Adventures'', a purple variety exists as well, however, it hesitates for a beat before shooting a volley of four rocks at Link in a row.


====Gold Octorok====
In addition to the two types, there are also {{Plural|PH|Octomine|link}}, which lurk underwater. {{Term|PH|Cyclok|link}} is a giant, flying {{Term|PH|Octorok}} that appears as the {{Term|PH|Boss|link}} of the {{Term|PH|Temple of Wind|link}}.
''The Minish Cap'', like ''The Legend of Zelda'', incorporates a red and stronger blue version, but adds a [[Golden Monsters|Gold version]] which only appears as a product of a specific [[Kinstone Fusion]]. This Gold variety can also be encountered in ''Oracle of Seasons'', and in both games, this iteration of Octorok requires many more hits than the average version to take down.


[[File:SS Octorok.png|right|150px|A close-up of an Octorok in ''Skyward Sword'']]
{{HH}} states that the {{Plural|PH|Octorok}} and their variants are the minions of {{Term|PH|Bellum|link}} (who was notably referred to as Grande Octo/Big Octorok during development).<ref>''Hyrule Historia'' page 204</ref><ref>''Hyrule Historia'' page 203</ref>
===Land and Sea Octoroks===
The Octorok has adapted to life both within the water and on land,<ref>{{cite manual|quote=A type of octopus that lives above ground. They bounce and attack by spitting out rocks.|game=Adventure of Link|page=29}}</ref> the former providing a protective barrier of water to hide beneath between projectile shots, and can be encountered even underwater, as seen in ''Spirit Tracks''


Land-dwelling Octoroks, which are generally red or blue, appear in ''The Legend of Zelda'', ''The Adventure of Link'', ''A Link to the Past'', ''Link's Awakening'', the ''Oracle'' series, the [[Four Swords Series|''Four Swords'' series]], and ''Skyward Sword''. Water-borne Octoroks, generally pink or purple, appear in ''Ocarina of Time'', ''Majora's Mask'', and ''The Wind Waker''. ''Phantom Hourglass'' and ''Spirit Tracks'' are the only ''Zelda'' titles to date that showcase both water and land-dwelling Octoroks.
==={{ST|-}}===
{{Plural|ST|Octorok}} in {{ST}} appear the same as those in {{PH|-}}, with both a land and water-based variant. The land {{Plural|ST|Octorok}} are identical to those in {{PH|-}}, and are encountered inside the {{Term|ST|Snow Temple|link}} and in a {{Term|ST|Cave|link}} at the {{Term|ST|Trading Post|link}}. A large group of them can also be found on a small island at the {{Term|ST|Ocean Sanctuary|link}}, where they constantly shoot rocks across a strip of land. These {{Plural|ST|Octorok}} also appear in the first level of the {{Term|ST|Take 'Em All On!|link}} mini-game at {{Term|ST|Castle Town|link}}.


===Octomine===
{{Plural|ST|Mini Freezard|link}}, such as those in the {{Term|ST|Snow Temple}}, can be melted away with fire to reveal land-dwelling {{Plural|ST|Octorok}} beneath their frozen bodies. The "eye" of a {{Term|ST|Mini Freezard}} is actually the underlying {{Term|ST|Octorok}}'s snout.
[[File:Octobomb.png|left|36px]]
Another exotic form of Octorok is the '''Octomine''' found in ''Phantom Hourglass'' and ''Spirit Tracks'', an explosive species that can only be found underwater. They are found in two forms: its sleeping form where they lie completely still and a wide awake form which propels itself underwater either up and down, or left and right.


===Winged Octorok===
{{Plural|ST|Ocean Octorok}} are similar to the sea-based variety from {{PH|-}},<ref>{{Cite Guide|quote= |game= ST |publisher= Prima |page= 35}}</ref> but appear red with a green mantle. They emerge from the watery depths to attack {{Term|ST|Link|link}} from afar.
[[File:WingoctorockLA.png|left|The Winged specialization of the standard Octorok in ''Link's Awakening'']]
The Winged Octorok is an enemy unique to ''Link's Awakening'', and appears to be an evolved form of the Octorok. These enemies will take flight if Link try to slash at them, Link must use the [[Roc's Feather]] to jump high and slash his sword in their direction. They also seem oblivious to charged spin attacks, so either holding the sword and walking into them, or simply unleashing a spin attack will hit them, as the Winged Octorok will be unable to fly away in time.


==Weaknesses==
{{Plural|ST|Octive|link}} are a variant of {{Plural|ST|Octorok}} that behave similarly to the aquatic-based variety, but are encountered solely in the {{Term|ST|Snow Temple}}. {{Plural|ST|Ergtorok|link}} are another variety that are a variant of {{Plural|ST|Octive}}, lurking in sand instead. {{Plural|ST|Octomine|link}} also appear and are encountered beneath the waves of the {{Term|ST|Ocean Realm|link}}.
The Octorok, regardless of terrain, can be defeated by any conventional weapon, such as the [[sword]], [[bow]] and [[arrow]], [[bomb]]s, [[boomerang]] (only stuns in ''Ocarina of Time'' and ''Majora's Mask'') and the like. In the same vein as the [[Dead Man's Volley]], Link can also in some titles, use his [[shield]], and in some cases, the sword, to reflect the projectile that the Octorok shoots back at its face, vanquishing it.<ref>{{cite|Octorok: Bounce back the rocks they spit at you!|Navi|Ocarina of Time}}</ref> While this technique usually does not work on land-dwelling Octoroks, the water-born variety are more than vulnerable to this technique.
 
==={{SS|-}}===
{{Main|Octorok (Grass), Octorok (Rock), Sky Octorok}}
{{Plural|SSHD|Octorok}} in {{SS}} have a similar behavior to aquatic {{Plural|Series|Octorok}} from previous games, but are encountered on land instead of in water, and are even found in the {{Term|SS|Sky|link}}. The ground-based variety hide themselves in the ground and poke their heads out to spit rocks when {{Term|SSHD|Link|link}} is near. Like aquatic {{Plural|Series|Octorok}}, their attacks can be deflected back at them with the {{Term|SSHD|Shield|link}}. {{Plural|SSHD|Octorok (Grass)|link}}, which cloak themselves with tufts of grass, can be found in the {{Term|SSHD|Faron Woods|link}}. {{Plural|SSHD|Rock Octorok|link}} instead cover themselves with a large {{Term|SSHD|Rock|link}}. Other than their choice of camouflage, they are identical.
 
==={{ALBW|-}}===
{{Plural|ALBW|Octorok}} in {{ALBW}} are based on those from {{ALttP}}, but no longer fire rocks in each direction at once. {{Plural|ALBW|Octorok}} instead scurry about their territory, stopping to fire a single rock from their mouths. As with the {{Plural|ALttP|Octorok}} from {{ALttP|-}}, they can be commonly found in eastern and southern {{Term|ALBW|Hyrule|link}}.
 
In {{Term|ALBW|Lorule|link}}, a friendly {{Term|ALBW|Octorok}} named {{Term|ALBW|Octo|link}} plays {{Term|ALBW|Octoball Derby|link}} with the {{Term|ALBW|Derby Boy|link}} and the {{Term|ALBW|Derby Girl|link}}. Instead of shooting rocks, it uses its talent to throw balls. {{Plural|ALBW|Slarok|link}} also appear as the Lorulean counterpart of {{Plural|ALBW|Octorok}}.
 
==={{TFH|-}}===
{{Main|Water Octorok}}
A red species of {{Plural|TFH|Octorok}} known as {{Plural|TFH|Water Octorok|link}} appear in {{TFH}}. They are encountered in bodies of water and spit rocks at the {{Plural|TFH|Link|link}}. In addition to this, regular {{Plural|TFH|Octorok}} return in the {{Term|TFH|Den of Trials|link}} alongside an unnamed purple variant that can {{Term|TFH|Curse|link}} the {{Plural|TFH|Link}} upon contact.
 
==={{BotW|-}}===
{{Plural|BotW|Octorok}} appear in many different varieties in {{BotW}}, including {{Plural|BotW|Water Octorok|link}}, {{Plural|BotW|Forest Octorok|link}}, {{Plural|BotW|Rock Octorok|link}}, {{Plural|BotW|Snow Octorok|link}}, {{Plural|BotW|Treasure Octorok|link}}, and in {{Term|BotW|Master Mode|link}}, {{Plural|BotW|Sky Octorok|link}}. All of them except for {{Plural|BotW|Sky Octorok}} are characterized by their ability to shoot rocks at {{Term|BotW|Link|link}}, though they each go about this in different ways. For all but {{Plural|BotW|Rock Octorok}}, {{Term|BotW|Link}} can shoot their various coverings to force them to reveal themselves. In {{Term|BotW|Master Mode}}, {{Plural|BotW|Sky Octorok}} can be found holding plank platforms that hold {{Plural|BotW|Treasure Chest|link}} and enemies.

==={{TLoZ|-}} TV Series===
{{Noncanon|Start}}
[[File:Octorok (The White Knight).png|thumb|200px|right|An Octorok in "The White Knight" episode]]
Octoroks appear in several episodes of the {{TLoZ|TV Series}}. They first appear in "[[The White Knight]]" after a [[Tinsuit]] calls an Octorok from the [[Underworld]], which grabs a swordless Link and throws him into a nearby barn. The hero then takes out a [[Magic Rope]] and ties it around the Octorok, but the octopus-like foe begins to run away as it drags Link with him. Fortunately, [[Prince Facade]] appears and halts the Octorok in its path, blocking one of the Octorok's attacks with his shield and quickly defeating it with a shot from his [[crossbow]]. An Octorok also briefly appears in "[[Kiss'n Tell]]", where the foe uses its tentacles to trip [[Princess Zelda]] and thus take her into the Underworld.


===''Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland''===
In "[[Doppelganger]]", while Link and Zelda are in the Underworld chasing [[Zelda's Clone|Zelda's evil clone]], three Octoroks begin to shoot rocks at them. Link grabs the Princess and uses the [[Force Field Ring]] as the two fall, [[Sword Beam|zapping]] the Octoroks in the process. In their final appearance in "[[The Moblins are Revolting]]", Octoroks join the struggle formed by the [[Brotherhood of Underworld Monsters]], where they try to attack the [[North Castle]]. A [[Moblin]] commands that various [[Vire]]s carry several Octoroks so that they can fire bombs inside the castle; however, the Octoroks are accidentally defeated with arrows shot by a group of [[Stalfos]].
What appear to be Octoroks make brief and minor appearances in ''[[Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland]]''; however, not as enemies. They appear in hidden mini-games run by [[Salona]]. Instead of shooting rocks, the Octorok will fire balls, which Tingle must deflect back at various targets behind the Octorok. In terms of appearance, they are red and look like a traditional Octorok found in the 2D ''Zelda'' games with characteristics of those found in ''Ocarina of Time'' and ''Majora's Mask''. Despite this, they not referred to as "Octoroks" in the game: the Salona calls the creature an 'Octopus'.


There is also an ingredient Tingle can acquire in the game called 'Salty Octopus', which looks similar to an Octorok.
Interestingly, in "The White Knight" and "The Moblins Are Revolting" episodes, Octoroks shoot light balls that explode when they come in contact with something; however, in the "Doppelganger", they can be seen shooting the usual rocks instead.

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]]. Octoroks once again appear 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.

Octoroks appear after Princess Zelda frees Link from the [[Crystal]] in {{TCT}}. If the heroes choose to leave the [[Midoro Palace]], they will struggle since Link feels too weak to walk. They eventually reach a forest and decide to rest, but suddenly Octoroks ambush them, and although Zelda tells Link that they should run away, the young hero feels too tired and thus must stay and fight. Choosing to stay and fight results in Zelda and Link taking cover from the Octoroks' attacks, with Link giving the Princess some advice to defeat the Octoroks. By the use of [[Zelda's Bow|her bow]], Zelda defeats the monsters, but is exhausted from the battle. They then witness a [[Pink Fairy]] glowing out from the corpse of one of the dead Octoroks. The Fairy thanks the heroes for freeing her from the monsters and rewards them by showing them where to find the weapon that will defeat [[Ganon]]: the [[Spear]].

==Trivia==
*An early screenshot of ''Ocarina of Time'' revealed several Octoroks walking on land like their 2D equivalents.
*At the time of the release of {{TWW}}, {{Plural|Series|Octorok}} had appeared in every game in {{TLoZ|Series}} so far, which is referenced in their {{Term|TWWHD|Figurine|link}} description with the line, "Winner of the Perfect Attendance Award". However, as {{Plural|Series|Octorok}} were absent from {{TP}}, this was changed to "Series: Exemplary enemy" in {{TWWHD}}.{{Fact}} They have appeared in every game since.
*In ''Majora's Mask'', shooting an ice arrow at an Octorok freezes them into a solid platform. This is an essential skill to learn in order to complete the [[Great Bay Temple]] as well as to reach the upper valley of [[Ikana Canyon]].<ref>{{cite|If you could somehow step on top of that Octorok, I bet you'd be able to climb onto that central pillar.

Latest revision as of 22:07, 20 June 2024

Octoroks are recurring Enemies in The Legend of Zelda series.(ALttP | LA | OoT | MM | OoS | OoA | FS | TWW | PH | ST | SS | ALBW | ZA | SSBU)[3][4][5][6][name references needed] Octoroks go unnamed in Hyrule Warriors.

Characteristics

Octoroks are octopus-like monsters best known for their method of attack; shooting rock projectiles from their cylindrical snouts in short intervals. They are common in Overworlds such as Hyrule, but occasionally appear inside Dungeons. The characteristics of Octoroks and their method of attack varies from game to game, as does the habitat in which they are encountered. In their two-dimensional appearances, Octoroks are generally land-dwelling creatures that slowly crawl and occasionally shoot rocks. They usually appear more porcine or spider-like and are one of the more common and weaker enemies in the games. They can be defeated by any conventional weapon, such as the Sword, Bow and Arrow, Bombs, or Boomerang.

In their three dimensional appearances, however, Octoroks are often aquatic creatures that live in lakes or seas, much like their real-world counterparts. They emerge and spit rocks at Link from afar, immediately submerging underwater if he comes too close. These Octoroks can often be defeated by deflecting their rocks back at them with the Shield,[7] or by shooting projectile weapons at them.

Octoroks normally do not attack unless threatened, spitting rocks as a natural means to defend their territory.[8]

A number of variants of Octoroks have also appeared in the series, with notable varieties including Winged Octoroks, Golden Octoroks, and Octomines. Big Octos are significantly larger Octoroks that often appear as Sub-Bosses. Big Octorok, a normal-sized Octorok fought while Link is Minish-sized, also appears as a Boss in The Minish Cap.

The Legend of Zelda

The Legend of Zelda Manual Descriptionhide ▲

Octorok
A type of octopus that lives above ground. There are two types, red and blue. Watch out for the blue ones. They're mean. They spit out rocks at Link.

Octoroks are encountered throughout the Overworld of Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda, and are one of the earliest monsters Link can encounter on his quest. They slowly crawl about in an aimless path, and randomly shoot rocks in either of the four cardinal directions; these rocks can be blocked by the Shield if Link is facing in their direction. Octoroks come in red and blue varieties, with the blue being the stronger one. When defeated, red Octoroks may drop either a Heart, a Fairy or one Rupee, while blue Octoroks may drop either a Heart, one Rupee, four Bombs or a Clock.[note 1]

The Adventure of Link

The Adventure of Link Manual Descriptionhide ▲
The Adventure of Link logo
Octorok
A type of octopus that lives above ground. They bounce and attack by spitting out rocks.

Octoroks appear as Overworld enemies in The Adventure of Link, most commonly found in Caves and tunnels. Unlike their previous appearance, they possess the ability to jump, and shoot rocks with each hop they make. While they are much more active and aggressive in their attacks, they are still relatively weak enemies whose rocks can be blocked with the Shield. Red and blue Octoroks appear, with the blue variety being the stronger of the two.

In the Japanese Famicom Disk System version, blue Octoroks also appear inside Palaces. In the overseas release, however, blue Aneru take their place instead, behaving similarly to Octoroks.

A Link to the Past

Octoroks return to their roots in A Link to the Past as grounded enemies encountered in the Overworld of Hyrule, though they behave slightly differently compared to their previous incarnations. Octoroks move in straight lines as they quickly scurry about, stopping only to unleash a barrage of rocks in every direction. Their quick and sudden movements and aggressive onslaught makes them harder to predict and defend against; however, like their previous incarnations, their rocks can be blocked with the Shield. They are common in eastern Hyrule, close to the Eastern Palace, near to the entrance to Zora's Waterfall, and in the Great Swamp.

A rare variant known as Octoballoons appear on the southeastern ledge of Lake Hylia. They explode into Puffers when approached or struck. The Dark World counterparts of Octoroks are Slaroks, which behave identically but are significantly stronger.

Link's Awakening

Octoroks in Link's Awakening appear similarly to those in The Legend of Zelda; slow enemies that crawl along the ground and occasionally shoot a single stone. They can be found all over Koholint Island, but are especially prolific at Toronbo Shores. As slow, weak enemies, they are easily dispatched with the Sword; however, when Link first arrives to the Shores in search for his Sword, he may encounter some without a weapon. Their stones can be blocked with the Shield when it is held up, serving as Link's only defense against them until he retrieves his Sword.

Winged variants, known as Winged Octoroks, also appear and are first encountered in Ukuku Prairie. They are able to fly overhead to evade Link's Sword, usually landing behind him to attack.

Ocarina of Time

Octoroks in Ocarina of Time look and behave differently compared to their earlier incarnations, as purple octopuses with glowing, green eyes that lurk in the water instead of on land. These Octoroks are the first of the "aquatic" Octoroks, who emerge from bodies of water to attack Link from afar with their projectile stones. When approached, they will immediately submerge underwater to avoid harm. Since they cannot be attacked directly or stunned, Octoroks can only be killed by either shooting Arrows at them, or by using the Shield to deflect the rocks they spit back at them, which will defeat them in one hit. They can be found in Lake Hylia as well as Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly.

A much larger Octorok known as Big Octo appears as the Sub-Boss Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly. This Octorok crawls around a cramped space rather than residing underwater, and attempts to crush and shove Link as it moves.

Majora's Mask

Tatl's Commenthide ▲
Tatl says:

You know about the Octorok, right? All you have to do is deflect that rock it spits out.

Octoroks in Majora's Mask appear identical to their appearance in Ocarina of Time. They live in bodies of water, and can normally only be killed by shooting Arrows at them or by deflecting their shots with the Shield. Like most enemies, Octoroks can also be frozen into a solid block of ice by shooting at them with Ice Arrows.[10] Once frozen, they can then be used as platforms to cross wide gaps of water until they thaw out. This is used to cross a body of water in the Great Bay Temple, and most notably at the Ikana River to cross over to the upper portion of Ikana Canyon — both places where Octoroks can be found. In Majora's Mask 3D, these Octoroks appear blue and sparkle to visually indicate that they can be frozen by the Ice Arrows.

Big Octos also appear in Majora's Mask in the Southern Swamp, blocking several passages to other locations of the Swamp.

Oracle of Seasons

Octoroks appear in Oracle of Seasons identical to their appearance in Link's Awakening. They are commonly found throughout the lands of Holodrum. A blue-colored variety also appears, which is stronger and more durable than the regular red variety.

The Octo Ring can be worn to give Link the appearance of a green Octorok.

A Golden Octorok also appears in Oracle of Seasons, appearing after Link has spoken to an Old Man wearing a golden robe. This Golden Octorok can be found in Spool Swamp in the Summer. This variety is much more aggressive and far stronger than the ordinary varieties.

Oracle of Ages

Octoroks appear in Oracle of Ages identical to their appearance in Link's Awakening. They are commonly found throughout the lands of Labrynna. A blue-colored variety also appears, which is stronger and more durable than the regular red variety.

The Octo Ring can be worn to give Link the appearance of a green Octorok.

Four Swords

Octoroks in Four Swords appear much like their incarnations in Link's Awakening, Oracle of Seasons, and Oracle of Ages. They slowly wander different areas and shoot rocks at intruders. They are relatively weak enemies, and can be easily defeated with the Sword. They can be found in the Sea of Trees and Vaati's Palace.

Freshwater Octorok
Tingle says:

Oh! An Octorok!

Use your shield to reflect its rock barrage back at it!

Saltwater Octorok

An Octorok!

It'll shoot bombs! I think you should run!

After obtaining the Boomerang

An Octorok!

It'll fire bombs at you! Fire back with projectiles!

Octoroks come in two types in The Wind Waker: a freshwater and a sea-inhabiting type. Both types of Octorok behave identically to those from Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, emerging from their respective bodies of water to shoot a spiked rock, which can then be deflected using either the Shield or by striking it with the Sword. The deflected rock will instantly defeat the Octorok as it hits. Freshwater Octoroks are characterized by their purple color and swirling pattern on their mantle. They most notably appear in the rivers leading up to the Forest Haven. Sea-inhabiting Octoroks are pink and have a spiked, shell-like mantle. They also differ in that the projectiles they spit are explosive. They are encountered only in the Great Sea.

Gigantic variants known as Big Octos also appear throughout the Great Sea. They emerge from whirlpools and attack Link as the whirlpool gradually brings him and the King of Red Lions into its mouth. They can only be defeated by shooting Bombs into their eyes with the Cannon or by firing Arrows from the Hero's Bow.

Four Swords Adventures

Main article: Blue Octorok

Octoroks are encountered in a few stages in Four Swords Adventures, most commonly near large bodies of water such as The Coast and The Swamp. They are typically found congregating in groups, attacking occasionally as they patrol their territory. They come in three color varieties; red, blue, and the rare purple. The red variety simply scurries about and shoots rocks, while the blue variety behaves more like the Octoroks from A Link to the Past, stopping to shoot a barrage of rocks in every direction. Purple Octoroks are the most hostile, consciously aiming at the Links and unleashing a flurry of rocks at them.

The Minish Cap

Octoroks in The Minish Cap behave much like their Four Swords incarnation. They can be found throughout Hyrule in various areas, most commonly around the different sections of Hyrule Field and Lon Lon Ranch. They come in red and blue varieties; red Octoroks are docile creatures, rarely shooting rocks unless Link is in close proximity to them. The blue variants, however, common to Lake Hylia, are much more aggressive and constantly expel rocks around them even when Link is not near.

Golden Octoroks also appear in The Minish Cap as a much rarer and more violent variety. They appear once Link has Fused Kinstones with certain people across Hyrule.

An ordinary Octorok covered in vines is also faced as the Boss of the Temple of Droplets; however, it appears gigantic due to Link being Minish-sized, and is therefore called the Big Octorok.

Phantom Hourglass

Octoroks in Phantom Hourglass come in two distinct varieties: a short and squat land-dwelling variant akin to their traditional appearance, and a sea-inhabiting type very much like those in The Wind Waker.

Land Octoroks appear as slow-moving red creatures. They spit rocks at Link whenever he is nearby, and are typically encountered in small groups. They are basic enemies who can be killed by most weapons, but can also be momentarily stunned with the Boomerang. They are uncommon enemies that are usually encountered inside Caves or Dungeons as opposed to the surface. They appear in the basement of Astrid's house on the Isle of Ember, inside the Temple of Fire, on Molida Island, and in the Temple of Courage.

Ocean Octoroks differ, being are significantly larger,[11] and pink-colored with an oversized, yellow mantle bearing a swirling symbol. Like those of The Wind Waker, they appear from the depths of the sea to attack.

In addition to the two types, there are also Octomines, which lurk underwater. Cyclok is a giant, flying Octorok that appears as the Boss of the Temple of Wind.

Hyrule Historia states that the Octoroks and their variants are the minions of Bellum (who was notably referred to as Grande Octo/Big Octorok during development).[12][13]

Spirit Tracks

Octoroks in Spirit Tracks appear the same as those in Phantom Hourglass, with both a land and water-based variant. The land Octoroks are identical to those in Phantom Hourglass, and are encountered inside the Snow Temple and in a Cave at the Trading Post. A large group of them can also be found on a small island at the Ocean Sanctuary, where they constantly shoot rocks across a strip of land. These Octoroks also appear in the first level of the Take 'Em All On! mini-game at Castle Town.

Mini Freezards, such as those in the Snow Temple, can be melted away with fire to reveal land-dwelling Octoroks beneath their frozen bodies. The "eye" of a Mini Freezard is actually the underlying Octorok's snout.

Ocean Octoroks are similar to the sea-based variety from Phantom Hourglass,[14] but appear red with a green mantle. They emerge from the watery depths to attack Link from afar.

Octives are a variant of Octoroks that behave similarly to the aquatic-based variety, but are encountered solely in the Snow Temple. Ergtoroks are another variety that are a variant of Octives, lurking in sand instead. Octomines also appear and are encountered beneath the waves of the Ocean Realm.

Skyward Sword

Main articles: Octorok (Grass), Octorok (Rock) and Sky Octorok

Octoroks in Skyward Sword have a similar behavior to aquatic Octoroks from previous games, but are encountered on land instead of in water, and are even found in the Sky. The ground-based variety hide themselves in the ground and poke their heads out to spit rocks when Link is near. Like aquatic Octoroks, their attacks can be deflected back at them with the Shield. Octoroks (Grass), which cloak themselves with tufts of grass, can be found in the Faron Woods. Octoroks (Rock) instead cover themselves with a large Rock. Other than their choice of camouflage, they are identical.

A Link Between Worlds

Octoroks in A Link Between Worlds are based on those from A Link to the Past, but no longer fire rocks in each direction at once. Octoroks instead scurry about their territory, stopping to fire a single rock from their mouths. As with the Octoroks from A Link to the Past, they can be commonly found in eastern and southern Hyrule.

In Lorule, a friendly Octorok named Octo plays Octoball Derby with the Derby Boy and the Derby Girl. Instead of shooting rocks, it uses its talent to throw balls. Slaroks also appear as the Lorulean counterpart of Octoroks.

Tri Force Heroes

Main article: Water Octorok

A red species of Octoroks known as Water Octoroks appear in Tri Force Heroes. They are encountered in bodies of water and spit rocks at the Links. In addition to this, regular Octoroks return in the Den of Trials alongside an unnamed purple variant that can Curse the Links upon contact.

Breath of the Wild

Octoroks appear in many different varieties in Breath of the Wild, including Water Octoroks, Forest Octoroks, Rock Octoroks, Snow Octoroks, Treasure Octoroks, and in Master Mode, Sky Octoroks. All of them except for Sky Octoroks are characterized by their ability to shoot rocks at Link, though they each go about this in different ways. For all but Rock Octoroks, Link can shoot their various coverings to force them to reveal themselves. In Master Mode, Sky Octoroks can be found holding plank platforms that hold Treasure Chests and enemies.

Other Appearances

The Legend of Zelda TV Series

Non-Canon Information
An Octorok in "The White Knight" episode

Octoroks appear in several episodes of the The Legend of Zelda TV series. They first appear in "The White Knight" after a Tinsuit calls an Octorok from the Underworld, which grabs a swordless Link and throws him into a nearby barn. The hero then takes out a Magic Rope and ties it around the Octorok, but the octopus-like foe begins to run away as it drags Link with him. Fortunately, Prince Facade appears and halts the Octorok in its path, blocking one of the Octorok's attacks with his shield and quickly defeating it with a shot from his crossbow. An Octorok also briefly appears in "Kiss'n Tell", where the foe uses its tentacles to trip Princess Zelda and thus take her into the Underworld.

In "Doppelganger", while Link and Zelda are in the Underworld chasing Zelda's evil clone, three Octoroks begin to shoot rocks at them. Link grabs the Princess and uses the Force Field Ring as the two fall, zapping the Octoroks in the process. In their final appearance in "The Moblins are Revolting", Octoroks join the struggle formed by the Brotherhood of Underworld Monsters, where they try to attack the North Castle. A Moblin commands that various Vires carry several Octoroks so that they can fire bombs inside the castle; however, the Octoroks are accidentally defeated with arrows shot by a group of Stalfos.

Interestingly, in "The White Knight" and "The Moblins Are Revolting" episodes, Octoroks shoot light balls that explode when they come in contact with something; however, in the "Doppelganger", they can be seen shooting the usual rocks instead.

The Legend of Zelda (Valiant Comics)

Non-Canon Information
An Octorok from the comic

Octoroks make several minor appearances throughout the issues of The Legend of Zelda comics by Valiant Comics published by Valiant Comics. Their depiction is almost identical to their artwork from The Adventure of Link. They first appear in "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. Octoroks once again appear in "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.

Super Mario-kun

Non-Canon Information
This section of the page is incomplete. You can help Zelda Wiki by expanding it.

The Crystal Trap

Non-Canon Information

Octoroks appear after Princess Zelda frees Link from the Crystal in The Crystal Trap. If the heroes choose to leave the Midoro Palace, they will struggle since Link feels too weak to walk. They eventually reach a forest and decide to rest, but suddenly Octoroks ambush them, and although Zelda tells Link that they should run away, the young hero feels too tired and thus must stay and fight. Choosing to stay and fight results in Zelda and Link taking cover from the Octoroks' attacks, with Link giving the Princess some advice to defeat the Octoroks. By the use of her bow, Zelda defeats the monsters, but is exhausted from the battle. They then witness a Pink Fairy glowing out from the corpse of one of the dead Octoroks. The Fairy thanks the heroes for freeing her from the monsters and rewards them by showing them where to find the weapon that will defeat Ganon: the Spear.

If the heroes choose to run away, Zelda will put her arm around Link's shoulders and begin to run. Trying to pull Link with all her might, she fails since she cannot outrun the Octoroks' attacks while carrying Link. A rock strikes Zelda's leg, causing the heroes to collapse and giving the foes a chance to surround them. The page ends with a Game Over as Zelda realizes she cannot hope to defeat all of the Octoroks by herself.

The Shadow Prince

Non-Canon Information

The Shadow Prince briefly mentions the Octoroks when Charles of Moria is bragging of his accomplishments as a knight. He comments about the time that he defeated twenty Octoroks with just one swing of his ax, although Link is unimpressed by this feat, saying that "Octoroks are easy prey."

The Faces of Evil

Non-Canon Information

Octoroks appear as enemies in The Faces of Evil, The Wand of Gamelon and Zelda's Adventure. In the first two games, Octoroks appear as large enemies encountered on land that spit arching stones. They have a considerably high amount of health, requiring several Sword strikes to defeat, but can also be instantly defeated by throwing a Bomb at them or by using the Power Glove. In The Faces of Evil, they can be found in Firestone Lake and Fortress Centrum. In The Wand of Gamelon, they are exclusively found on the shores of Tykogi Tower.

Zelda's Adventure

Non-Canon Information

In Zelda's Adventure, Octoroks bare a much closer resemblance to real-world octopuses. They are usually encountered near bodies of water, most notably in the Shrine of Water. They however do not spit rocks at Zelda. They take several hits of the Wand to defeat.

Link's Awakening (Cagiva)

Non-Canon Information

In the Link's Awakening manga by Ataru Cagiva, while looking for his Sword, Link is attacked by an Octorok, making him fall from a cliff into Toronbo Shores. There, hes attacked by a group of Octoroks, forcing him to run away. Once Link retreives his Sword, the Owl appears, scaring the Octoroks away.

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Non-Canon Information
The Octorok enemy from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Octoroks appear as enemies in the Underground Maze level of Adventure Mode. They can, but rarely, be found in other modes in boxes. Like in the Zelda games, Octoroks will start shooting rocks at the approaching fighter. For every Octorok a player KOs, 150 points are added to their Octorok KO Bonus. These Octoroks are only found on land, despite being based on the aquatic Octoroks found in Ocarina of Time. They also appear as a Trophy.

Octoroks have low stamina, so they don't pose much of a threat to good fighters. Random

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Non-Canon Information

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Octoroks appear as a Sticker.

Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland

Non-Canon Information

In Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland, a creature similar to Octoroks called Octopuses appear in the hidden mini-games run by Salona. Instead of shooting rocks, the Octopuses shoot balls, which Tingle must deflect back at various targets behind them. Appearance-wise, they are red and resemble the traditional Octoroks found in the 2D Zelda games, with the characteristics of those found in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.

There is also an ingredient Tingle can acquire called Salty Octopus, which also looks similar to an Octorok.

Hyrule Warriors

Non-Canon Information

Octoroks appear while loading an Adventure Mode Map Battle in Hyrule Warriors. Their appearance is based on the red Octorok from The Legend of Zelda. An Octorok will move between Link and the Triforce and shoot a rock at Link before being defeated. While Link is holding the Triforce, a second Octorok will then appear behind Link and shoot another rock at him, causing him to drop the Triforce. Link will then run away and the Octorok will chase after him.

Cadence of Hyrule

Ambiguously Canon Information

Octoroks appear as enemies in Cadence of Hyrule where they move to the beat of the music. They can inhabit waters as well as dry land, hiding until Cadence, Link, Yves, or Zelda walks in front of them, in which they will emerge and become vulnerable to attack for four music beats. After emerging, they will fire a rock projectile at the heroes on the second beat, and remain exposed for two more beats before returning underground or underwater. There are a total of three varieties of Octorok, including the Yellow Octorok and Black Octorok.

Vermin

Ambiguously Canon Information

Octoroks appear in the Game & Watch: The Legend of Zelda version of Vermin. They replace the moles from the original as the creatures Link keeps away with his mallets.

Trivia

  • At the time of the release of The Wind Waker, Octoroks had appeared in every game in The Legend of Zelda series so far, which is referenced in their Figurine description with the line, "Winner of the Perfect Attendance Award". However, as Octoroks were absent from Twilight Princess, this was changed to "Series: Exemplary enemy" in The Wind Waker HD.[citation needed] They have appeared in every game since.
  • Toadpolis from Twilight Princess behave similarly to the aquatic Octoroks, and are also defeated in the same manner; by deflecting their projectiles back at them. Spumes from Skyward Sword also have a similar behavior.

Notes

  1. ↑ If Link defeats 10 enemies without getting hit or teleporting with the Flute, then the 10th enemy defeated will drop five Rupees. However, if the 10th enemy is defeated with a Bomb, then it will drop four Bombs. If Link defeats 16 enemies without getting hit or teleporting, then the 16th enemy will drop a Fairy. After the 16th enemy, Link must get hit and reset the counter to zero in order to achieve this effect again. Defeating Armos, Like Likes, Keese, or Gels will not be counted.[9]
