{{Plural|ALttP|Hinox}} are found in the [[Dark World]] of [[Hyrule]] in {{ALttP}}. They are common to most locations, particularly near the [[Bomb Shop]], and have a seemingly endless supply of {{Plural|ALttP|Bomb|link}} to throw at {{Term|ALttP|Link|link}}. They are very powerful and are able to cause a lot of damage to {{Term|ALttP|Link}} if they come into contact with him. Despite their slow movements, they are extremely dangerous to {{Term|ALttP|Link}} when he first enters the Dark World and should be treated with caution. Striking them with a {{Term|ALttP|Sword|link}} will defeat them, but it takes many hits and puts {{Term|ALttP|Link}} in danger, so it is easier for {{Term|ALttP|Link}} to throw his own {{Plural|ALttP|Bomb}} at them or strike them with his {{Term|ALttP|Bow|link}} from afar. | {{Plural|ALttP|Hinox}} are found in the [[Dark World]] of [[Hyrule]] in {{ALttP}}.

Despite what the English game manual suggests, a {{Term|ALttP|Hinox}}'s weak point is not usually its eye, unlike similar monsters with a prominent single eye, nor are they weak to their own {{Plural|ALttP|Bomb}}; these are mistranslations of the original Japanese manual, which stated the phrase "{{Romanize|目には目を|Me ni wa Me o}}",<ref>{{Cite manual|quote={{ | Despite what the English game manual suggests, a {{Term|ALttP|Hinox}}'s weak point is not usually its eye, unlike similar monsters with a prominent single eye, nor are they weak to their own {{Plural|ALttP|Bomb}}; these are mistranslations of the original Japanese manual, which stated the phrase "{{Romanize|目には目を|Me ni wa Me o}}",<ref>{{Cite manual|quote={{Romanize|闇の世界の地上をうろつく怪カモンスターです。体力があるうえ、 爆弾も放う投げてきます。弱点は「目には目を…」です。||Mysterious monsters prowl the earth in the World of Darkness.

In the secret ending of {{ALttP&FS}}, obtained after completing the [[Palace of the Four Sword]], {{Plural|ALttP|Hinox}} are shown passing {{Plural|ALttP|Bomb}} to one another, and one appears on top of the [[Pyramid of Power]] playing with a [[Super Bomb]]. | In the secret ending of {{ALttP&FS}}, obtained after completing the [[Palace of the Four Sword]], {{Plural|ALttP|Hinox}} are shown passing {{Plural|ALttP|Bomb}} to one another, and one appears on top of the [[Pyramid of Power]] playing with a [[Super Bomb]]. | ||
