'''Oinkers''' are [[pig]]-like enemies that appear in {{FPTRR}}. 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.

Oinkers can be found in all Continents. They are first encountered in [[Lon Lon Meadow]], and after that also in the [[Deku Forest (First Continent)|Deku Forest]], [[Icy Plains]], and in the [[Auros Ruins]]. They are always in one place, behind a gate that can only be opened with the [[Items in Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland#Oinker Snout|Oinker Snout]].

Oinkers must often be defeated to obtain a precious item that someone has lost. Such an item will be bought back with many [[Rupee]]s. 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.

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

The '''Oinkers''' from the Lon Lon Meadow are the first Oinkers Tingle will encounter. They've stolen the Town Guard's [[Items in Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland#Golden Button|Golden Button]] and are supposedly responsible for the kidnapping of [[Missy (Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland)|Missy]], though they are later found innocent. They can drop the [[Items in Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland#Shoddy Lance|Shoddy Lance]] when defeated.

The '''Forest Oinkers''' live in a camp in the Deku Forest. They've stolen [[Bella]]'s [[Items in Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland#Dazzling Brooch|Dazzling Brooch]] and can drop the [[Items in Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland#Low-Budget Mace|Low-Budget Mace]] and the [[Items in Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland#Shoddy Shield|Shoddy Shield]] when defeated.{{clear}}

The '''Snow Oinkers''' call a camp in [[Icy Plain]] their home. Together with a pair of [[Oinker Wizard]]s, they guard the stolen

[[Items in Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland#Gold Lamé Socks|Gold Lamé Socks]] of [[Chiko's Mum]]. When they are defeated they can drop [[Items in Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland#Shoulder Spikes|Shoulder Spikes]] or a [[Items in Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland#Poker Lance|Poker Lance]].{{clear}}

Tingle first encounters this Oinker type in the [[Fairy Garden]], where a single '''Axe Oinker''', known as '''Stray Oinker''', guards the [[Items in Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland#Iron Herb|Iron Herb]]. Later, they can also be found in Auros Ruins where they guard they patrol the walls of the last Oinker camp. If defeated, they can drop the [[Items in Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland#Destructor Axe|Destructor Axe]].{{clear}}

The '''Lance Oinkers''' accompany the Axe Oinkers in the Oinker camp of Auros Ruins. If defeated, they can drop a [[Items in Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland#Poker Lance|Poker Lance]].{{clear}}

The '''Pubarian''' is only encountered during the battle with the Blue and Red [[Oinker Captain]]. They are a lot faster than regular Oinkers when rolling on their broken Rupee orbs but are nonetheless defeated the same way as the other Oinkers.{{clear}}

The '''Small Oinker Captains''' are the last guard of Oinker camp's first room in Auros Ruins. They have a lot more health than regular Oinkers, but they are a bit slower. If defeated they can drop a [[Items in Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland#10-Man Slicer|10-Man Slicer]].{{clear}}

The elite version of the Small Oinker Captain is the '''Oinker Bodyguard'''. They are only encountered during the fight with the [[Oinker Chief]] who calls them regularly. They can also drop the 10-Man Slicer.{{clear}}
