Bokoblins are prevalent in {{TWW}}. They have snouts, arrow-shaped tails, three fingers and a single horn. Bokoblins come in three variants: Blue, Green, and Pink. The most common is the blue-skinned, [[Boko Stick]]-wielding combat form. Green-skinned elites carry [[Machete]]s and wooden [[Shield]]s. Pink Bokoblins carry [[Telescope]]s, which they use to scan their surroundings and to attack. Unarmed Bokoblins will combat [[Link]] hand-to-hand until they can find an available weapon.

They are even strong enough to wield weapons such as [[Moblin Spear]]s and [[Darknut Sword]]s with one arm.{{verify|TWW}} The attack power remains the same, however.{{clarify|reason= What remains the same?

Bokoblins are more intelligent than their Moblin counterparts. Blue Bokoblins man the [[Searchlight]]s in the [[Forsaken Fortress]], demonstrating an understanding of machinery. Pink Bokoblins act as scouts on the [[Great Sea]]. They use their telescopes to scan the sea from [[Lookout Platform]]s and rafts tied to [[Submarine]]s. Bokoblins also recognize the danger of [[Bomb]]s and will run away if Link pulls one out. One green Bokoblin in Forsaken Fortress serves as the first {{Term|TWW|Sub-Boss|link}} of the game. It guards Link's [[Sword]] which he dropped entering the fortress.

Bokoblins attack by swiping their weapons at Link. Occasionally, Bokoblins will jump back and attempt to swing their weapons at Link, which can send the young hero flying backwards if they make contact. Green Bokoblins are a little more versatile as they are able to defend themselves with their shields. However, they are not particularly tough enemies and can be defeated by most conventional items in the game, especially Link's Sword. If they are knocked back, they may drop their weapons, which Link can use against them. Unarmed Bokoblins will resort to jumping and kicking at Link to hurt him. Bokoblins, even the seafaring pink ones, cannot swim. Sometimes, when walking on a bridge, Bokoblins lose their balance and nearly fall, but manage to hang onto the edge. When this happens, a single hit of the Sword or some other weapon causes the Bokoblin to fall and drown.

In {{TP}}, Bokoblins resemble long imp-like creatures more than their {{TWW|-}} counterparts as they lack tails, fur and horns, and are much less intelligent. They are common in the Southern and parts of the Eastern areas of [[Hyrule Field]], and are prominent in [[Faron Woods]] at the beginning of the game, but are driven out by Link as he is traversing the {{Term|TPHD|Forest Temple|link}}. They are first encountered in their blue-skinned variant, which carries a small stick and is easily felled. Later, they appear in a purple color and wield swords. Purple Bokoblins are surprisingly resilient, capable of withstanding much abuse before death. However, they share the mental drawbacks of their blue counterparts.
In {{TP}}, {{Plural|TPHD|Bokoblin}} take on a more humanoid form resembling goblins, having long, curved ears, small, green eyes, a longer body and arms with short legs, white locks of hair that are put up in a bun, and simple pants and shoes. They are common in the southern and parts of the eastern areas of {{Term|TPHD|Hyrule Field|link}}, and are prominent in {{Term|TPHD|Faron Woods|link}}, but are driven out by {{Term|TPHD|Link}} as he is traversing the {{Term|TPHD|Forest Temple|link}}. They come in a blue-skinned variant, which carry a wooden club, and, later in the game, a stronger and more durable purple variant that wield {{Plural|TPHD|Sword|link}}.


Uniquely, Bokoblins in {{TP|-}} appear to social among each other: two can be seen talking with one another in an area of Faron Woods, somewhere along the path to the Forest Temple.
Upon spotting or hearing Link, they will rush at and swing their weapon at him. They are easily able to be felled with most weapons, most notably with any of Link's Swords, though the purple variants are able to withstand more damage before defeat.
 
While notably more primitive than their other appearances, {{Plural|TPHD|Bokoblin}} in {{TP|-}} are capable of socializing with other Bokoblins, which can be observed in areas where there are at least two individuals such as along the path to the {{Term|TPHD|Forest Temple}} in Faron Woods. Additionally, when one individual is defeated when another is close by, the surviving Bokoblin will watch their fallen comrade explode before unleashing an enraged screech at Link and resuming its assault.

Bokoblins appear as a common type of enemy in {{SS}}, appearing in many places throughout the [[Hyrule|Surface]]. Their appearance resembles that of a Japanese ''{{Wp|Oni (folklore)|Oni}}'' more so than their previous incarnations. Bokoblins have floppy ears as opposed to pointy ones, and noses instead of snouts. They are much bigger and stouter than previous Bokoblins (slightly larger than Link himself), and have an extra edge of difficulty. They can block attacks with their weapons, and in order to defeat them, Link must slash around the weapon. Some are also able to wield [[Bow]]s and Bombs, while others may carry a [[Monster Horn]] with which they can summon more Bokoblins. This Monster Horn can be retrieved using the [[Whip]]. In addition to the Monster Horn, Bokoblins may sometimes drop [[Ornamental Skull]]s or [[Golden Skull]]s as [[Treasure]]s when defeated. Bokoblins also have the ability to balance on tightropes, but will fall off if Link shakes the rope they are on or if they are hit with a projectile or the [[Beetle (Item)|Beetle]]. Most Bokoblins are afraid of the Beetle and will run away; Bokoblins with Bows will shoot it at first sight.

Multiple new variations of Bokoblin make an appearance in {{SS|-}}, such as [[Technoblin]]s and [[Cursed Bokoblin]]s. Technoblins are found in [[Lanayru Desert]], and like many other enemies in the area, harness electricity to attack. Cursed Bokoblins are zombies, and can only be found in the depths of the [[Ancient Cistern]] and the room in the [[Sky Keep]] that represents the former dungeon. While these Bokoblins do not wield weapons, they are extremely resilient and can withstand much more damage than their living counterparts. Later in the game, Blue Bokoblins replace ordinary Bokoblins as a more durable enemy, taking more hits to defeat. The Blue Bokoblin also has a new tactic of attack, similar to Link's [[Jump Attack]]. Green Bokoblins are the dungeon and cave variant of Bokoblins, wearing a skull helmet and wielding a stone club. Their skin slowly began to turn into a shade of green due to their sun-deficient lifestyle.<ref>{{Cite|This variety of Bokoblin enjoys dark places, such as caves.

After the "[[Song of the Hero]]" quest is completed, most of the various types of Bokoblins and Moblins disappear from the overworld completely, leaving Eldin Volcano and Faron Woods devoid of their presence, most likely leaving the woodlands due to the massive flooding caused by [[Faron (Dragon)|Faron]], the Water Dragon. During the [[Horde Battle]] near the end of the game, all varieties of Bokoblins either have significantly increased skills or numbers. However, Ornamental Skulls and Golden Skulls will not appear after Link defeats a Bokoblin during the Horde Battle.

{{Compendium/Extract|Bokoblin}}
{{Compendium/Extract|Bokoblin}}
Bokoblins appear as rudimentary enemies in {{BotW}}, often encountered in primitive encampments. They can be found resting inside their camps at night and hunting [[Boar]]s on [[Horse]]back during the day. Encampments are often guarded by Bokoblins on small watchtowers. If one of these Bokoblins spots Link, it will sound its horn, alerting the other enemies to Link's presence. There are many varieties of Bokoblins, including the standard red Bokoblin, [[Blue Bokoblin]]s, [[Black Bokoblin]]s, [[Silver Bokoblin]]s, and in [[Master Mode]], [[Golden Bokoblin]]s. Bokoblins often carry [[Boko Club]]s or [[Boko Bow]]s, while Blue Bokoblins are often equipped with [[Soldier's Broadsword]]s and [[Spiked Boko Shield]]s. Bokoblins that lack any weaponry will either swipe at Link if he is nearby or dig up rocks to throw at him in lieu of any objects in the vicinity. If there are any large rocks, [[Barrel]]s, or [[Bomb Barrel]]s, Bokoblins will attempt to pick them up and hurl them at Link. When equipped with a wooden melee {{Term|BotW|Weapon|link}} while near a source of fire, they will ignite their Weapon to burn Link with it. At night, Bokoblins will sleep on the ground face-up as bubbles rise from their nostrils. When defeated, Bokoblins may drop [[Bokoblin Fang]]s, [[Bokoblin Horn]]s, and [[Bokoblin Guts]].

At night, {{Plural|BotW|Bokoblin}} will sleep on the ground face-up as bubbles rise from their nostrils. When defeated, {{Plural|BotW|Bokoblin}} may drop {{Plural|BotW|Bokoblin Fang|link}}, {{Plural|BotW|Bokoblin Horn|link}}, and {{Plural|BotW|Bokoblin Guts|link}}. Bokoblins cannot swim and will drown if forced into deep water.  


Sometimes, Bokoblin(s) can be seen attacking Travelers. Some may also be knocked out by a Bokoblin. If you help defeat the Bokoblin(s) they may grant you a reward. However, some Travelers who are knocked out may be [[Yiga Clan]] members.
{{Plural|BotW|Bokoblin}} will occasionally be found riding {{Plural|BotW|Horse|link}}. If dismounted by an attack, they will attempt to climb back on their mount. {{Plural|BotW|Bokoblin}} in the {{Term|BotW|Gerudo Highlands|link}} may instead ride {{Plural|BotW|Honeyvore Bear|link}} and {{Plural|BotW|Grizzlemaw Bear|link}}.      


The skeletal remains of Bokoblins, known as [[Stalkoblin]]s, will rise out of the ground during the night. They behave similarly to living Bokoblins, while also possessing undead qualities.

Bokoblins are recurring Enemies in the The Legend of Zelda series.(TWW | TP | BotW | TotK | HWAoC)[2][3][4][5][name references needed] They are common infantry units used by antagonists such as Ganon.

Characteristics

The Wind Waker

Tingle's Commenthide ▲
Tingle says:

A Bokoblin! Get ahold of yourself and get him! The Tingle Bomb might work too!

Bokoblins are prevalent in The Wind Waker. They have snouts, arrow-shaped tails, three fingers and a single horn. Bokoblins come in three variants: Blue, Green, and Pink. The most common is the blue-skinned, Boko Stick-wielding combat form. Green-skinned elites carry Machete and wooden Shields. Pink Bokoblins carry Telescopes, which they use to scan their surroundings and to attack. Unarmed Bokoblins will combat Link hand-to-hand until they can find an available weapon. They can wield any kind of Enemy Weapon as needed. They are even strong enough to wield Weapons such as Moblin Spears and Darknut Sword with one arm.[verification needed] The attack power remains the same, however.[clarification needed]

Bokoblins are more intelligent than their Moblin counterparts. Blue Bokoblins man the Searchlights in the Forsaken Fortress, demonstrating an understanding of machinery. Pink Bokoblins act as scouts on the Great Sea. They use their telescopes to scan the sea from Lookout Platforms and rafts tied to Submarines. Bokoblins also recognize the danger of Bombs and will run away if Link pulls one out. One Green Bokoblin in Forsaken Fortress serves as the first Miniboss of the game. It guards Link's Sword which he dropped entering the fortress.

Bokoblins attack by swiping their Weapons at Link. Occasionally, Bokoblins will jump back and attempt to swing their Weapons at Link, which can send the young hero flying backwards if they make contact. Green Bokoblins are a little more versatile as they are able to defend themselves with their Shields. However, they are not particularly tough Enemies and can be defeated by most conventional Items in the game, especially Link's Sword. If they are knocked back, they may drop their Weapons, which Link can use against them. Unarmed Bokoblins will resort to jumping and kicking at Link to hurt him. Bokoblins, even the seafaring pink ones, cannot swim. Sometimes, when walking on a bridge, Bokoblins lose their balance and nearly fall, but manage to hang onto the edge. When this happens, a single hit of the Sword or some other Weapon causes the Bokoblin to fall and drown.

All Bokoblins carry one Joy Pendant, which may be dropped after they are defeated. These are easily stolen using the Grappling Hook.

Twilight Princess

In Twilight Princess, Bokoblins take on a more humanoid form resembling goblins, having long, curved ears, small, green eyes, a longer body and arms with short legs, white locks of hair that are put up in a bun, and simple pants and shoes. They are common in the southern and parts of the eastern areas of Hyrule Field, and are prominent in Faron Woods, but are driven out by Link as he is traversing the Forest Temple. They come in a blue-skinned variant, which carry a wooden club, and, later in the game, a stronger and more durable purple variant that wield Swords.

Upon spotting or hearing Link, they will rush at and swing their weapon at him. They are easily able to be felled with most weapons, most notably with any of Link's Swords, though the purple variants are able to withstand more damage before defeat.

While notably more primitive than their other appearances, Bokoblins in Twilight Princess are capable of socializing with other Bokoblins, which can be observed in areas where there are at least two individuals such as along the path to the Forest Temple in Faron Woods. Additionally, when one individual is defeated when another is close by, the surviving Bokoblin will watch their fallen comrade explode before unleashing an enraged screech at Link and resuming its assault.

Fi says:

Target lock: Red Bokoblin

These monsters have plagued the land since ancient times. They each play different roles, and their weaponry varies. They prefer to act in groups.

None of them are intelligent by any definition of the word. Curiously, they seem to have a mysterious obsession with fashionable undergarments.

Leader

Target lock: Red Bokoblin (Leader)

As a symbol of its leadership, this creature wraps a cloth around its head. This visually communicates that it is more dominant than other Bokoblins.
It can call its underlings to arms using its horn.

Red Bokoblins appear as a common type of Enemy in Skyward Sword, appearing in many places throughout the Surface. Their appearance resembles that of a Japanese Oni more so than their previous incarnations. Red Bokoblins have floppy ears as opposed to pointy ones, and noses instead of snouts. They are much bigger and stouter than previous Bokoblins (slightly larger than Link himself), and have an extra edge of difficulty. They can block attacks with their Weapons, and in order to defeat them, Link must slash around the Weapon. Red Bokoblins (Archer) are also able to wield Bows, while Red Bokoblin (Leader) may carry a Monster Horn with which they can summon more Red Bokoblins. This Monster Horn can be retrieved using the Whip. In addition to the Monster Horn, Red Bokoblins may sometimes drop Ornamental Skulls or Golden Skulls as Treasures when defeated. Red Bokoblins also have the ability to balance on tightropes, but will fall off if Link shakes the rope they are on or if they are hit with a projectile or the Beetle. Most Red Bokoblins are afraid of the Beetle and will run away; Red Bokoblins (Archer) with Bows will shoot it at first sight.

The Red Bokoblins in Skyward Sword appear to be somewhat more intelligent and sociable than their past incarnations, even establishing small Monster Strongholds while conflicting with the native Mogma throughout Eldin Volcano.[6] They defend these villages with the aid of lookout towers and large boulders, which they can roll downhill to hinder Link.

Multiple new variations of Bokoblin make an appearance in Skyward Sword, such as Technoblins and Cursed Bokoblins. Technoblins are found in Lanayru Desert, and like many other Enemies in the area, harness Electricity to attack. Cursed Bokoblins are zombies, and can only be found in the depths of the Ancient Cistern and the room in the Sky Keep that represents the former Dungeon. While these Bokoblins do not wield Weapons, they are extremely resilient and can withstand much more damage than their living counterparts. Later in the game, Blue Bokoblins replace ordinary Bokoblins as a more durable enemy, taking more hits to defeat. The Blue Bokoblin also has a new tactic of attack, similar to Link's Jump Slash. Green Bokoblins are the Dungeon and cave variant of Bokoblins, wearing a skull helmet and wielding a stone club. Their skin slowly began to turn into a shade of green due to their sun-deficient lifestyle.[7]

After the "Song of the Hero" quest is completed, most of the various types of Bokoblins and Moblins disappear from the overworld completely, leaving Eldin Volcano and Faron Woods devoid of their presence, most likely leaving the woodlands due to the massive flooding caused by Faron, the Faron. During the Horde Battle, all varieties of Bokoblins either have significantly increased skills or numbers, even wielding Bombs. However, Ornamental Skulls and Golden Skulls will not appear after Link defeats a Bokoblin during the Horde Battle.

According to Fi, they are obsessed with their ideal of fashion, particularly their unusual leopard-print underwear, which can be seen best if Link performs a Fatal Blow on one.[8] This is likely a reference to an Oni's tendency to wear tiger-print loincloths in Japanese folklore.

Breath of the Wild

Description
This common species is a nuisance all over Hyrule. Some have unified in the time following the Great Calamity and have formed factions of bandits. While not very clever, they are at least intelligent enough to hunt beasts and grill the meat for food. Though they're typically ferocious carnivores, they actually enjoy fruit as well.

Bokoblins appear as common Enemies in Breath of the Wild, often encountered in primitive Monster Strongholds. They can be found resting inside their camps at night and hunting Boars during the day. Monster Strongholds are often guarded by Bokoblins on small watchtowers. If one of these Bokoblins spots Link, they will sound their horn, alerting the other Enemies to Link's presence. There are many varieties of Bokoblins, including the standard red Bokoblin, Blue Bokoblins, Black Bokoblins, Silver Bokoblins, and in Master Mode, Golden Bokoblins. Bokoblins often carry weapons of the Bokoblin Gear equipment archetype, such as the Boko Clubs, Boko Bats, Boko Spears and Boko Bows. Stronger Bokoblins are often equipped with Spiked and Dragonbone versions of this gear, alongside Soldier's Broadswords, Knight's Broadswords and Royal Broadswords at higher tiers. Bokoblins that lack Weapons will either swipe at Link if he is nearby or dig up rocks to throw at him in lieu of any objects in the vicinity. If there are any large rocks, Barrels, or Bomb Barrels, Bokoblins will attempt to pick them up and hurl them at Link. When equipped with a wooden melee Weapon while near a source of fire, they will ignite their Weapon to burn Link with it. At night, Bokoblins will sleep on the ground face-up as bubbles rise from their nostrils. When defeated, Bokoblins may drop Bokoblin Fangs, Bokoblin Horns, and Bokoblin Guts. Bokoblins cannot swim and will drown if forced into deep water.

Bokoblins will occasionally be found riding Horses. If dismounted by an attack, they will attempt to climb back on their mount. Bokoblins in the Gerudo Highlands may instead ride Honeyvore Bears and Grizzlemaw Bears.

Sometimes, Bokoblins can be seen attacking travelers. Some travelers may also be knocked out by a Bokoblin. If Link helps to defeat the Bokoblin(s), they may grant Link a reward. However, some travelers who are knocked out may be Yiga Clan members.

The skeletal remains of Bokoblins, known as Stalkoblins, will rise out of the ground during the night. They behave similarly to living Bokoblins, while also possessing undead qualities. They may be found riding Stalhorses in lieu of living steeds.

Tears of the Kingdom

Bokoblins appear as Enemies in Tears of the Kingdom. Bokoblins can now wear crudely made Rock Armors, which resists most attacks but can be destroyed by explosions or weapons fused with hard objects. They also now have longer horns on their heads that resemble daggers, similar to the skull-like protrusions that the Moblins now have. If unarmed, they will use their horns as weapons by headbutting or ramming Link.

Other Appearances

Hyrule Warriors

Bokoblins appear based on their red Skyward Sword incarnation in Hyrule Warriors. Their role are weak infantry troops, appearing in large numbers but are easily defeated. They mainly serve as the soldiers of the Dark Force. As with other infantry troops, they also have a Captain, Shield, Artillery and Summoner counterparts. In Legend Mode, they appear in "The Armies of Ruin", "The Sorceress of the Valley", "Land in the Sky", "Sealed Ambition", and "The Sacred Sword". In "The Armies of Ruins", a small group of Bokoblins drops boulders in front of the Mine Entrance, attempting to trap Link inside.

Most Bokoblins are regular foot soldiers that carry large blades. Artillery troops also occasionally appear in smaller groups and fight by shooting Arrows. Summoner Bokoblin also appear as an uncommon variant that summons reinforcements, and wear skull masks and carry staves. Unit troops are led by Bokoblin Captains, which wear helmets and carry metal shields. The same type of Captain also appears as a variant that guards Keeps and Outposts. Bokoblin Captains occasionally drop Old Rags when defeated.

As one of Ghirahim's attacks with the Demon Blade, he can summon a small group of Bokoblins to charge forward.

Cadence of Hyrule

Bokoblins appear as enemies in Cadence of Hyrule. They behave like the skeleton enemies in Crypt of the NecroDancer, moving onto an adjacent tile on every other beat of the music in pursuit of Cadence, Link, Yves, or Zelda. Before moving, they put their arms up for one beat before moving on the following beat.[9]

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity



In Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, Bokoblins are divided into various sizes that dictate their role; small Bokoblins act as standard troops and large Bokoblins act as Captains. Bokoblins captains can use different Weapons giving them different attacks. All Bokoblins are shown to have a ranged attack via throwing their Weapons and then procuring a duplicate, as well as charge en masse with their Boko Spears.
