Bokoblin: Difference between revisions

Bokoblins hunt many animals and scrounge areas for food. Bokoblins know how to tame and ride horses, horses kept by Bokoblins in ''Breath of the Wild'' have high affection and familiarity with being ridden. Unlike Hylians, Bokoblins do not appear to use a saddle or reins for their animals.

{{Float|left|[[File:WW_Bokoblin.png|130px|thumb|left|The Wind Waker Bokoblin Art]]}}Bokoblins make their debut appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]''. They are a simple enemy that are fairly easy to defeat, being the first enemy Link fights in the game. They come in three variations: Blue, Green, and Pink. They occasionally drop [[Joy Pendant]]s after being defeated. Alternatively, Link can use his [[Grappling Hook]] to steal their Joy Pendants.

The Blue Variation is the simplest one, as Link can find them weaponless, and thus, defenseless. If they are holding a weapon, it is either a [[Boko Stick]], or a large sword.

The Green Variation is stronger than the Blue, as they wield large swords and have shields, which they use to block Link's attacks.

The Pink Variation is probably the weakest kind of them all, as the only weapon that it carries is a telescope. These Bokoblins are only found on watch towers or rafts around the [[Great Sea]].

[[File:Bokoblin-Purple-TP.png|150px|thumb|right|Twilight Princess Purple Bokoblin]]

The Bokoblins in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' come in two variants: Red and Purple. The two variants are mostly identical, the only major difference being that the Red variety can withstand much more damage than their Purple counterparts.   

Bokoblins can be found in the [[Faron Woods]], [[Forest Temple (Twilight Princess)|Forest Temple]], [[Hyrule Field]], [[Kakariko Gorge]], [[Cave of Ordeals]], and [[Hyrule Castle (Twilight Princess)|Hyrule Castle]].

Bokoblins have a much different visual look in ''Skyward Sword'', taking on a more [[Moblin]]-like appearance. Some of them have small caps on top of their heads, wear bandannas or masks, and sometimes even have beards. These differences do not seem to have an effect on how they battle. They also have an apparent affinity for exotic undergarments.{{Ref|SS|1969|Fi}}

Bokoblins are common enemies, found in almost every location throughout the game. When they detect Link's presence (except for the Bokoblin Archers), they sprint toward him and strike at him with their weapons. Some also hold horns which they blow to call out reinforcements. These are the most common enemy in the game, and are found in every region.

The Red Bokoblin is the standard Bokoblin. They are the most common and the weakest. They come in three different types: normal ones that wield swords or clubs, Archers, and Leaders.

{{Float|left|{{Fi|Red Bokoblin}}}}This version of the Red Bokoblin has two black horns on its head and wears a leather vest and loincloth. Normal Bokoblins wield rusty machete-like swords when found in [[Faron Woods]] and a club covered in spiny green vines when found around [[Eldin Volcano]] and block Link's slashes. They move the sword from left to right, or hold it up, blocking directional attacks from Link's blade.

{{Float|left|{{Fi|Red Bokoblin (Leader)}}}}[[File:Bokoblin-02.png|150px|thumb|right|Red Bokoblin (Leader)]]Red Bokoblin Leaders have the same look and tactics as the sword Bokoblins, the only difference being the blue cap it wears and the [[Monster Horn (Skyward Sword)|horn]] it carries.{{Ref|SS|1970|Fi}} If a Leader spots Link, it utilizes its horn as an alarm calling for backup. In the beginning, the only way to get rid of this horn is to defeat the Leader. However, once Link has completed the [[Ancient Cistern]] and obtained the [[Whip]], he can now use it to steal the horn from the Leader's waist belt. This does not defeat the Bokoblin; it simply steals the horn.

{{Main|Cursed Bokoblin}}[[File:Bokoblin-Cursed-Medium.png|100px|right|thumb|Cursed Bokoblin]]

{{Float|left|{{Fi|Cursed Bokoblin}}}} [[Cursed Bokoblin]]s are zombified enemies found within the underground section of the [[Ancient Cistern]]. They are much slower than the normal variation and do not have a sword to block Link's attacks. However, they are much tougher than they look, as they can take a seemingly endless amount of hits from Link's Sword. The most efficient way to defeat them is by using the [[Fatal Blow]] once they have been knocked down. Also, when Link brandishes any of the shields in the [[Sacred Shield]] series, the Cursed Bokoblins appear to be afraid of the shield and begin to retreat back from Link.{{Ref|SS|1980|Fi}}

{{Float|right|{{Fi|Blue Bokoblin}}}}The Blue Bokoblin is a very stronger variation of the standard Red Bokoblin. Because of this extra strength, it is much tougher to defeat. It has the same attack patterns as the Red Bokoblin, but has different clothing and skin color because of the fact that it hails from a different environment.{{Ref|SS|1971|Fi}}

{{Float|left|{{Fi|Green Bokoblin}}}}Green Bokoblins wield hammers and are seen to be wearing white skull caps and tooth necklaces. They are basically a dungeon version of the Red Bokoblin, but take slightly more damage.{{Ref|SS|1976|Fi}} These also come in an Archer variety which looks exactly the same as a Red Archer, only green.{{Ref|SS|1977|Fi}} They enjoy caves, and because of this, the color of their skin has turned green.

[[File:Bokoblin.jpg|175px|thumb|right|A Red Bokoblin]]

Bokoblins in ''Breath of the Wild'' come in many different varieties, such as the Blue Bokoblin, Silver Bokoblin, and the [[Stalkoblin]]. They can be found all over Hyrule, but tend to gather at various [[Bokoblin Camp|Camps]], with other enemies like the [[Moblin#Breath of the Wild|Moblin]] and [[Lizalfos#Breath of the Wild|Lizalfos]]. If they eat any piece of fruit or meat, they will instantly regain 100 percent of their health.

Red Bokoblins have 13 HP. They typically wield a range of Bokoblin-crafted weapons, including the [[Boko Spear]], [[Boko Bat]], and [[Boko Bow]]. Recoverable materials include [[Bokoblin Horn]]s and [[Bokoblin Fang|Fangs]].

{{main|Blue Bokoblin}}

A slightly stronger variant of the Red Bokoblin with 72 HP. Often seen wielding reinforced boko-weapons, such as [[Spiked Boko Bat]]s or [[Spiked Boko Bow]]s. Upon death, they may drop some [[Bokoblin Guts]].

{{main|Black Bokoblin}}

Even more powerful than the Blue variant, these Bokoblins are usually the leader of their pack. They attack quicker, and carry stronger, dragonbone weapons, including the [[Dragonbone Boko Club]].

{{main|Silver Bokoblin}}

[[File:Cursed-bokoblin.jpg|175px|thumb|right|A Cursed Bokoblin]]

These are the most powerful versions of the Bokoblin in the regular mode of the game. They are much more aggressive than any other versions, and have faster attacking speed, especially with bows. They can carry elemental arrows, and have significantly more health than weaker variants. Upon death, they can drop rare materials such as [[Sapphire]] or [[Topaz]], as well as an assortment of Bokoblin goods.

{{main|Golden Bokoblin}}

Golden Bokoblins are found exclusively in [[Master Mode]], and have more health than their silver counterparts, though they carry the same weapons and drop the same items.

{{main|Stalkoblin}}

This variant of Bokoblin only appears at night, and behaves very similarly to creatures such as [[Stalchild]]ren from previous games. They only have 1 HP, but when struck, their heads will drop to the ground, and will need to be destroyed in order to be fully rid of Stalkoblin. They often appear in groups of 2 or 3.

{{main|Cursed Bokoblin}}

The Cursed Bokoblin only appears in areas tainted by the [[Malice]] of Calamity Ganon. They appear identical to the heads of Stalkoblin, though they are engulfed in a dark aura. They tend to spawn from a certain area of Malice, so destroying the source will prevent them from appearing.

Bokoblin are common enemies in ''[[Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity|Age of Calamity]]''. First appearing in [[The Battle of Hyrule Field]], Bokoblin appear in different physical sizes, which correlates with their overall power and health. Smaller Bokoblin often wield a [[Boko Bow]] or a [[Boko Club]]. Much larger Bokoblin can also be seen serving as [[Outpost]] leaders that need to be defeated for Link to capture an outpost

After each Bokoblin is defeated, they may drop a Bokoblin Horn or a Bokoblin Fang. Additionally, the player will receive a [[Bokoblin Trophy]], which can be used to complete [[Age of Calamity Quests|quests]] or upgrade weapons of the various warriors.
