In the original ''The Legend of Zelda'', Moblins appear in two varieties, Orange and Blue. The only difference between the two is that the Orange one requires two hits to defeat, while the Blue one requires three (with the [[Wooden Sword]]). They attack by running into [[Link]] and on occasion shoot [[Arrow]]s. | |||
A few Moblins appear in caves called [[Secret Moblin]]s and will give Link ten, 30, 50, or 100 denominations of [[Rupee]]s to keep their hiding place hidden.<ref>{{Cite|LoZ|58|Secret Moblin}}</ref> | |||

Moblins appear in the [[Sacred Forest Meadow]] when Link returns as an adult. They will charge at him should he enter their field of vision. While charging, Link cannot hurt them. They are vulnerable to the [[Hookshot]] and can be taken down with one hit. | |||
There is a stronger version of the Moblin called a [[Club Moblin]] that guards the entrance to the [[Forest Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Forest Temple]] and is notably more difficult. It swings a giant club at Link, shooting out clouds of dust which will knock Link back if he is hit. It is vulnerable to the [[Fairy Bow|Bow]] and the Hookshot, though the Hookshot isn't practical to use until upgraded to the [[Longshot]]. The way Link can get past them is by runing to the left then the right or in reverse. Once Link gets behind them he can slash away with his sword. They take three hits to kill with the [[Master Sword]]. Everytime Link re-enters the area, the Club Moblin will reappear. | |||

Moblins appear most notably inside the [[Forsaken Fortress]] as guards. The first time Link enters the fortress, he is without a sword. Due to this, if a Moblin catches him, they will throw him in prison should they see him. They aren't the brightest of enemies and can be easily fooled by hiding beneath a barrel. The second time through the Moblins won't be frightened to attack the young hero with their spears. Moblin Spears are among the weapons that Link can use to fight with. | Moblins appear most notably inside the [[Forsaken Fortress]] as guards.

Despite being made in Ganon's image, Ganon does not appear in the ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]''. This makes the Moblins' appearance in the game peculiar. They appear partway through the game and frequent the overworld. Two variants appear, [[Spear Moblin]]s and [[Bow Moblin]]s. Spear Moblins will charge at Link, and Bow Moblins will fire arrows. They can be easily defeated by stunning them with the [[Boomerang]] and then slashing them with Link's sword. | |||

Moblins return in ''Skyward Sword'' and their appearance has changed quite a bit. Now they are fat, red, and are bigger than Link himself. These Moblins hold a wooden or metal square-shaped shield. The wooden varient's shield can be cut into very small pieces leaving the Moblin vulnerable to [[sword]] attacks. Also, Link can dash into the shield causing him to jump over the Moblin, enabling him to slash away at his behind. Moblins are a very common enemy when revisiting [[Faron Woods]] and drop alot of rupees. | |||

Link can use his sword to chop the Moblin's Shield into small pieces. When its shield is too small, The Moblin will throw it away and begin to fight without a shield. Now, slash away at its big red belly until the Moblin goes down. Alternatively, Link can dash straight at the Moblin, which will cause Link to jump over and attack from its rear. | Link can use his sword to chop the Moblin's Shield into small pieces.

Link must dash over the Moblin's shield to attack it. Then, slash away at its exposed rear. This type of Moblin is commonly found on narrow ledges, where one wrong move could force the player to restart the battle. Metal shield moblins take more hits to kill than the wooden shield moblins. Unlike wooden shield moblins, their shields won't break; they can also be attacked from afar with the bow. | Link must dash over the Moblin's shield to attack it.
