Oinkers are pig-like enemies that appear in Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland. They are fought like mini-bosses and their defeat often leads to finding an item of great worth. They are invulnerable to attacks as long as they are not stunned when running into obstacle like a wall or another Oinker.

Areas

Oinkers can be found in all Continents. They are first encountered in Lon Lon Meadow, and after that also in the Deku Forest, Icy Plains, and in the Auros Ruins. They are always in one place, behind a gate that can only be openend with the Oinker Snout.

Story

Oinkers must often be defeated to obtain a precious item that someone has lost. Such an item will be bought back with many Rupees. As the story progresses, increasingly powerful Oinkers will be encountered. In the Auros Ruins, the powerful Oinker Chief and his followers must be defeated to obtain the Master Rupee. Not all Oinkers are hostile, though; the Oinker Couple of Auros Ruins try to break away from the customs of their people.

Characteristics and Variations

Oinkers are the most varied enemies in the game. Besides the normal weapon wielding types, there are also Oinker Wizards and larger armored Oinkers.
