Big Moblin
The Big Moblin (known as a Big Blin in the PAL translation) is an enemy exclusive to The Legend of Zelda: Battle Quest, appearing in Nintendo Land. Along with the Quick Moblin, Big Moblins do not appear in the main Zelda series (although very similar enemies such as the Big Blin and Club Moblin appear), so it is unknown if they exist in the true Hyrule or not. They are three times the size of regular Moblins and appear armed with shields.
Appearances and Characteristics
In Nintendo Land's recreation of Hyrule, Big Moblins first appear as bosses at the end of certain stages, either appearing alone or sometimes with a companion or a group of smaller Moblins. They are incredibly resilient and hard to defeat, and are only vulnerable after attacking or briefly prior to their strike. Their hits are powerful and send opponents flying, and must be blocked with a shield or dodged entirely. In later stages, Big Moblins appear as regular enemies, and stronger varieties with helmets appear both as bosses and enemies.
A depiction of a Big Moblin can also be obtained as a Prize for the Nintendo Land Plaza, as are other enemies and objects in Battle Quest. When interacted with it will roar while Monita will comment on its characteristics.
