Boarblin
Boarblins,(LANS)[1] also known as Pig Warriors,(LA)[2] are recurring enemies in The Legend of Zelda series.
Characteristics
Link's Awakening
Boarblins are relatives to Moblins in Link's Awakening.[3] Unlike the Bulldog moblins of the forest, Boarblins have a porcine-like appearance, resemble the moblins of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and live primarily in Tal Tal Heights and Ukuku Prairie. They behave in an identical manner to Moblins and also appear in a Sword variant.
Oracle of Seasons
Pig Warriors appear in blue and red variants in Oracle of Seasons. A Sword-wielding variant can also be found. The Great Moblin is the boss of a gang of Pig Warriors. They operate in Moblin's Keep, where the Great Moblin is fought. After his defeat, the Pig Warriors are driven away to the other land in a Linked Game. After their defeat in Labrynna, they can be found in Sunken City, forced to make and sell Bombs.[citation needed]
In a Linked Game, a friendly Pig Warrior will give Link the Tokay Secret.[4][5]
Oracle of Ages
Pig Warriors appear in blue and red variants in Oracle of Ages. A Sword-wielding variant can also be found. The Great Moblin is the boss of a gang of Pig Warriors. They operate in Great Moblin's Keep, where the Great Moblin is fought. After his defeat, the Pig Warriors are driven away to the other land in a Linked Game.
