These enemies greatly resemble [[Moa]]s in being giant floating eyeballs; however, they fight rather differently, traveling around the screen for a short distance before opening their single great eye, which is [[Link]]'s only opening to attack. Another difference is that Girubokku are always visible, whereas some Moas usually require the [[Cross]] to be visible.
These enemies greatly resemble [[Moa]]s in being giant floating eyeballs; however they do not appear to be ghosts, and they fight rather differently, traveling around the screen for a short distance before opening their single great eye, which is [[Link]]'s only opening to attack. They gradually close in on Link and attempt to surround him, closing their eyes to render themselves invincible. Another difference is that Girubokku are always visible, whereas some Moas usually require the [[Cross]] to be visible.


Due to their similar appearances, Girubokku may somehow be related to the [[Patra]] or [[Digdogger]].

==Trivia==
*Their name evokes the Japanese term {{exp|ギロ|giro}} which is onomatopoeia meaning to stare at something, and possibly {{exp|ボケット|boketto}}, meaning to gaze vacantly.
