Hinoxes can be stunned by attacking their eye. However, after some time, the Hinoxes cover it when aimed at. As such, the player must wait for the Hinox to attack for them to uncover their eye. | Hinoxes can be stunned by attacking their eye. However, after some time, the Hinoxes cover it when aimed at.

Hinox monster parts are used to create elixirs, or to upgrade armor. The different types of Hinoxes do not represent different strength levels, but have different HPs and yields aside from [[Hinox Toenail|toenails]], [[Hinox Tooth|teeth]], [[Hinox Guts|guts]] and assorted weapons: | Hinox monster parts are used to create elixirs, or to upgrade armor.

If Link is stealthy enough, he can steal some of the weapons that usually hang around their necks by climbing on top of its hand while either wearing the [[Stealth Set]] or having consumed stealth-heightening elixirs/foods, and then the Hinox will place Link on top of its belly. These weapons range from rudimentary clubs and bows to broadswords and metal bows that may give an advantage to the attacker. The more HP a Hinox has, the better weapons it yields, and also, the more '''Scaling Points''' the player has (as they become stronger), the Hinoxes in general will have better weapons to yield. However, unlike other base monsters, Hinoxes do not change to stronger species under the same circumstances as there are no "Silver" variants in the base game, nor "Gold" variants in [[Master Mode]]; however, in the latter, Hinoxes do go up one berth, so there is only one Red Hinox '''Master Mode''' for [[Hyrule Compendium]] completion purposes. | If Link is stealthy enough, he can steal some of the weapons that usually hang around their necks by climbing on top of its hand while either wearing the [[Stealth Set]] or having consumed stealth-heightening elixirs/foods, and then the Hinox will place Link on top of its belly.

Slaying all 40 Hinoxes in the base game will, after the [[Destroy Ganon]] quest has been completed once, allow Link to recieve the [[Medal of Honor: Hinox]] when visiting [[Kilton]]. The award itself serves only for bragging rights. | Slaying all 40 Hinoxes in the base game will, after the [[Destroy Ganon]] quest has been completed once, allow Link to recieve the [[Medal of Honor: Hinox]] when visiting [[Kilton]].
