Moblins look extremely different compared to other installments in the series. This time they are much bigger with a longer snout. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', they usually wield large club weapons. They come in many varieties. [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] can find them in various enemy encampments across [[Hyrule]]. | Moblins look extremely different compared to other installments in the series.

Moblins return with an appearance similar to that of ''Breath of the Wild''. The main difference is that each variant comes with their own signature horn, which can be harvested to fuse with weapons and cook with elixirs. [[Link (Tears of the Kingdom | Moblins return with an appearance similar to that of ''Breath of the Wild''. The main difference is that each variant comes with their own signature horn, which can be harvested to fuse with weapons and cook with elixirs. [[Link (Breath of the Wild)#Tears of the Kingdom|Link]] can find them in various enemy encampments across [[Hyrule]]. Moblins will often be seen carrying low level unfused and fused weapons, often fused with crude materials such as rocks and mushrooms. | ||
A good strategy is to use Two-Handed Weapons to knock over the Moblin before it can attack. Other weapons will not make them fall, but instead merely flinch. Moblins have excellent reach and can knock down Link with a single punch, but have difficulties fending off attacks from close quarters. They also now execute a headbutt attack, where they will slam their horns into the ground in an attempt to crush Link with them. If accompanied by [[Bokoblin]]s but unarmed, and having no weapons within reach, Moblins may grab Bokoblins from where they stand and throw them at Link. Standard Moblins will drop the [[Moblin Horn]] upon defeat. | A good strategy is to use Two-Handed Weapons to knock over the Moblin before it can attack.

* The porcine design of Moblins in a ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' seems likely to have been done to reflect their allegiance to Ganon. | * The porcine design of Moblins in a ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' seems likely to have been done to reflect their allegiance to Ganon. | ||
*Moblins were going to appear in [[Twilight Princess]], and they were even featured in the trailer. However, for some reason, they were cut from the final game. | *Moblins were going to appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', and they were even featured in the trailer.
