Goriyas appear in two episodes of The Legend of Zelda TV 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.[3] However, when the magnet instead attracts a Cupid statue,[4] 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 Goriyas 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,[5] 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,[6] but then begins arguing with another Goriya as to what their course of action should be.[7] Eventually, neither the Goriyas 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.
