As with many enemies in the first ''Zelda'', Goriya come in 'red' and 'blue' varieties, and only appear in [[Dungeon]]s. Blue Goriya can survive longer than the red variety, due to having more health, and their attacks do much more damage.<ref>{{cite manual|quote= There are two of his type, blue ones and red ones. Watch out for the blue ones! They are strong.|game= The Legend of Zelda|page= 36}}</ref> They seem to not directly attack [[Link]], but instead wander around randomly before tossing their Boomerang in any random direction. Goriya generally attack in groups of three or more. Link first finds the Boomerang by defeating a group of red Goriya in [[Eagle (Dungeon)|Eagle]], and later finds the [[Boomerang#Magical Boomerang|Magical Boomerang]] by defeating a group of blue Goriya in [[Moon (Dungeon)|Moon]].

In certain dungeons, a hungry Goriya will be blocking the passage to the next room, and their stomachs grumble at Link's presence,<ref>{{cite|GRUMBLE, GRUMBLE.|Hungry Goriya's stomach|TLOZ}}</ref> vaguely hinting that the creature is hungry, and refuses to budge until fed. To please the monster and obtain entry, Link must offer it [[Food]] purchased from a shop.

The side-scrolling angle of {{TAoL}} 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 choose to duck or stand to block the accommodating attacks with his shield<ref>{{cite manual|quote=Fend off the Boomerang with shield.|game=Adventure of Link|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.

Goriya now tend to appear in caves and fields<ref>{{cite manual|quote=These devils are on the plains and in the caves too.|game= Adventure of Link|page=27}}</ref> more often 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 opponents.

In {{ALTTP}}, Goriya are radically different than previously. Known as "Coppie" in Japanese, they first appear in the [[Palace of Darkness]] and reappear in later [[Dark World]] dungeons such as [[Ganon's Tower]]. Their typical behavior and attacks are changed drastically. They no longer use Boomerangs, but instead copy Link's movement pattern similar to [[Arm-Mimic]]s and [[Mask-Mimic]]s, moving in the opposite directions of Link. While the green versions can be cornered and destroyed with the [[Master Sword]], they are especially weak to the [[Bow]], much like the [[Eyegore]]s from the same game. The red variety spit deadly fireballs whenever facing Link, and like red Eyegores, they can only be killed with [[Arrow]]s.

In the original [[SNES]] version of the game, Goriya make a single appearance in the [[Light World]] in a cave in [[Death Mountain]]. In the [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past & Four Swords|Game Boy Advance]] version, they were replaced with Eyegores, meaning they only appear in the Dark World in that version.

Though only one appears in {{LA}}, this Goriya is not an enemy, and even offers Link powerful item. He is found in a cave on southern portion of [[Toronbo Shores]]. Link can only see and speak with him at the end of the [[Link's Awakening Trading Sequence|trading sequence]], when he has the [[Magnifying Lens]]. At this point, the Goriya offers Link to trade one of his items for a [[Boomerang]] he found on the beach.<ref>{{Cite|I found a good item washed up on the beach...

Goriya appear in two episodes of the [[The Legend of Zelda (TV series)|animated series]].

In ''[[The Moblins are Revolting]]'', two Goriya and two [[Moblin]]s work together to attack Link while he is in his room reading a comic. However, due to their clumsiness, the creatures defeat each other without Link having to intervene. Back at the [[Evil Jar]] in the Underworld, the Moblins complain that it was the Goriyas' fault, and the monsters start fighting until Ganon zaps them. Tired of having to take the blame for Ganon's failed plans, a Goriya suggests that they would do a better job without him,<ref>{{cite episode|quote=Uh, why? We can do better. Let's kick him out!|name=Goriya|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=The Moblins are Revolting}}</ref> thus forming the alliance known as the [[Brotherhood of Underworld Monsters]]. Later on, when all of Ganon's followers begin their attack on [[North Castle]], a Goriya can be seen commanding an army of [[Vire]]s to carry several [[Octorok]]s and fire bombs inside the castle,<ref>{{cite episode|quote=Uh, my Octobombers are gonna get them!|name=Goriya|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=The Moblins are Revolting}}</ref> but then begins arguing with another Goriya as to what their course of action should be.<ref>{{cite episode|quote=Airhead? Take this, potatobrain!|name=Goriya|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=The Moblins are Revolting}}</ref> Eventually, neither the Goriya nor the rest of the monsters accomplish anything meaningful, and they end up returning to Ganon's command in the Underworld.

Interestingly, although the Goriya in ''That Sinking Feeling'' seems to speak with poor grammar just like the rest of the Moblins, the Goriya seen in ''The Moblins are Revolting'' can be heard speaking very fluent English.

Goriya are recurring enemies in the Template:LZS, first appearing in The Legend of Zelda. They are a kind of demon that have mastered the Boomerang as a tool of war,[1][2] making them deadly in both short- and long-range combat. Template:TLoZManual Template:TAoLManual

Characteristics and Weaknesses

The Legend of Zelda

File:GoriyaRed.png

As with many enemies in the Legend of Zelda, Goriya come in 'red' and 'blue' varieties, and only appear in Dungeons. Blue Goriya can survive longer than the red variety, due to having more health, and their attacks do much more damage.[3] They seem to not directly attack Link, but instead wander around before tossing their Boomerang in a random direction. Goriya generally attack in groups of three or more. Link first finds the Boomerang by defeating a group of red Goriya in Eagle, and later finds the Magical Boomerang by defeating a group of blue Goriya in Moon.

In certain dungeons, a hungry Goriya will be blocking the passage to the next room, and when talked to, their stomachs grumble,[4] vaguely hinting that the creature is hungry. They will refuse to budge until fed. To satisfy the monster and obtain entry, Link must offer it Food purchased from a shop.

The Adventure of Link

File:GoriyaTAoLorange.png

The side-scrolling angle of The Adventure of Link 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.[5] 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 and fields[6] more often than dungeons, 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.

A Link to the Past

File:Goriya ALttP.png

In Template:ALTTP, Goriya are radically different from their previous appearances. Known as in Japan as "Coppie", they first appear in the Palace of Darkness and reappear in later Dark World dungeons such as Ganon's Tower. Their typical behavior and attacks have been changed drastically. They no longer use Boomerangs, but instead copy Link's movement pattern, similar to Arm-Mimics and Mask-Mimics, moving in the opposite direction of Link. While the green Goriya can be cornered and destroyed with the Master Sword, they are especially weak to the Bow, much like the Eyegores from the same game. The red variety spit deadly fireballs whenever facing Link, and similar to red Eyegores, they can only be killed with Arrows.

In the original SNES version of the game, Goriya make a single appearance in the Light World in a cave in Death Mountain. In the Game Boy Advance version, they were replaced with Eyegores in the Light World, thus they only appear in the Dark World in that version.

Link's Awakening

Though only one appears in Link's Awakening, this Goriya is not an enemy, and even offers Link a powerful item. He is found in a cave on the southern portion of Toronbo Shores. Link can only see and speak with him at the end of the trading sequence, when he has the Magnifying Lens. At this point, the Goriya offers to trade Link a Boomerang he found on the beach for one of his items.[7][8] Link can trade the Boomerang back to the Goriya at any time to recover his item.[9][10] The Boomerang is one of the most useful weapons in the game, and the Goriya will even beg Link to give it back to him after the trade.[11] Not all items can be traded for the Boomerang.[12]

Oracle of Seasons

File:GoriyaOracles.png

Goriya appear again as enemies in the Template:OoX,[13] first appearing in the Gnarled Root Dungeon. In this game, they look identical to Moblins, 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 the Eagle dungeon of the original NES adventure, and these are no exception.

Main article: Brother Goriyas

Also in the Gnarled Root Dungeon, a pair of bull-like Goriyas known as the Brother Goriyas appear as minibosses.

A Link Between Worlds

File:Goriya green aLBW.png

Goriya in A Link Between Worlds behave quite similarly to Goriya in Link to the Past, with the exception that they do not mimic Link's movements; instead, they tend to walk directly towards him when they see him. In this game, Goriya can only be found in the Dark Palace and Treacherous Tower.

Non-canon Appearances

Non-Canon Information

Animated series

Goriya as seen in the animated series

Goriya appear in two episodes of the animated series. In That Sinking Feeling, Ganon commands a Goriya to search for the Overworld Magnet and to use it to drag Link and Princess Zelda into the Underworld.[14] However, when the magnet instead attracts a Cupid statue,[15] Ganon gets angry and electrocutes the Goriya for failing at his mission, causing the foe to run away in pain.

In The Moblins are Revolting, two Goriya and two Moblins work together to attack Link while he is in his room reading a comic. However, due to their clumsiness, the creatures defeat each other without Link even having to intervene. Back at the Evil Jar in the Underworld, the Moblins complain that it was the Goriyas' fault, and the monsters start fighting until Ganon zaps them. Tired of having to take the blame for Ganon's failed plans, a Goriya suggests that they would do a better job without him,[16] thus forming the alliance known as the Brotherhood of Underworld Monsters. Later on, when all of Ganon's followers begin their attack on North Castle, a Goriya can be seen commanding an army of Vires to carry several Octoroks and fire bombs inside the castle,[17] but then begins arguing with another Goriya as to what their course of action should be.[18] Eventually, neither the Goriya nor the rest of the monsters accomplish anything meaningful, and they end up returning to Ganon's command in the Underworld.

Interestingly, although the Goriya in That Sinking Feeling seems to speak with poor grammar just like the rest of the Moblins, the Goriya seen in The Moblins are Revolting can be heard speaking very fluent English.

Captain N: The Game Master

A Goriya briefly appears in the Having a Ball episode of Captain N: The Game Master. 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.

The Legend of Zelda comic

In the Legend of Zelda comic, Goriya resemble their depiction in 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, and are later seen attacking Princess Zelda while she is inside the Eagle Labyrinth. 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,[19] but Link refuses.[20] However, when Link heads to a palace to search for Ganon, he is greeted outside by the same group of Goriya that had offered to serve him.[21] This time, he accepts their aid,[22] and the Goriya give him a robe similar to that of Ganon's.[23]

Goriya appear once again 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. They last make an appearance in Day of the Triforce as two Goriya try to eat a captured Miff in Death Mountain.[24]

The Crystal Trap

In The Crystal Trap, Princess Zelda and Link are attacked by a blue Goriya after the young hero has been freed from the Crystal. Zelda shoots an arrow from her bow at the Goriya, injuring it, but it then goes on to say that if the pair spares his life, it will show them a powerful weapon: a Battle Axe, which is the only thing that can defeat Ganon.[25] If Link and Zelda agree to follow the Goriya, he will lead the pair into a massive room containing the Battle Axe. The Goriya will then disappear after Link grabs the axe.

After Princess Zelda and Link run into Ganon, the evil wizard will confess that he told the Goriya to lead the young heroes to the Battle Axe, since he knew that if they found the axe, Link and Zelda would stop searching for the real weapon that could defeat Ganon: the Spear.[26]

The Shadow Prince

Goriya are briefly mentioned in The Shadow Prince. 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 Goriya to fall from the sky, most likely due to the fact that Ganon is becoming more powerful.[27]

Philips CD-i

Goriya appear in all Zelda games for the Philips CD-i. In Template:FOE and Template:WOG, they have a similar appearance to the ones in the animated series. However, in Zelda's Adventure, they resemble purple apes with white hair that throw massive boomerangs. In this game, Zelda can obtain the Boomerang the Goriyas use by defeating a small group of them in a clearing west of the Forest of Ogbam.
