Main article: Bokoblin

Bokoblin (Red)

Bokoblins have a much different visual look this time around, taking on a more moblin-like appearance. They are commonly found in both field and dungeon areas. When they detect Link's presence, they will sprint towards him and strike with their sword.

Bokoblins wield small swords and will use them to block Link's attacks. They will move the sword from left to right, or hold it up, blocking directional attacks from his blade. Three successful hits from the Goddess sword will defeat a Bokoblin.

In the Eldin Volcano region, there is a different type of Red Bokoblin that will carry a club wrapped in vines.

If Link shoot a Bokoblin with the Slingshot it will become dizzy for a couple of seconds, allowing Link to get in a couple of sword slashes.

Bokoblin are afraid of bombs and the Beetle, so if Link either carries a bomb or flies the beetle towards them, they will run away.

Bokoblin Archer

Bokoblin Archers can be found patrolling the Summit of Eldin Volcano and the Fire Sanctuary. Archers come in both Green and Red colors, and can be easily defeated with arrows from a distance, or the sword or bombs if Link get close.

ChuChu

Main article: ChuChu

Deku Baba

Main article: Deku Baba

Deku Babas greatly resemble their appearance from previous Zelda titles. They come out from underground and try to bite Link if he gets too close. A new feature is that when battling the Deku Babas, Link must slash in the direction that the enemy's mouth is open. Some Deku Babas need to be sliced vertically while others need to be sliced horizontally. Alternatively, Link can toss or roll a bomb towards a Deku Baba and it will gobble it up before exploding within its mouth.

Some Deku Babas can be seen hanging from walls or the ceiling and they are out of reach from Link's sword. In order to defeat these fellows, Link must use the beetle or arrows. After sending out the beetle, Link can track its direction so that it cuts down the deku babas from their stems, causing them to fall to the floor in defeat. Link can also use his bow and arrow to cut these deku babas from their stem, or shoot them in the mouth to kill them directly.

Furnix

Main article: Furnix

These large birds are found in the Ancient Cistern. They can only be defeated after obtaining the Whip, and Link will need to use it to pull the enemy down by its tail. Once this is done, Link can then attack it with the sword to defeat it.

Guardian

Main article: Guardian (Skyward Sword)

Guardian (Earth)

These creatures roam the Silent Realm and will kill Link in a single blow. If Link steps in Waking Water or does not find a Tear in 90 seconds after starting or finding a previous Tear, they will activate and chase after him.

Guardian (Flying)

These creatures roam the Silent Realm and will kill Link in a single blow.

Keese

Main article: Keese

Keese serve the same purpose that they have in previous Zelda titles. They are bat-like creatures that fly around the overworld and within dungeons with the primary purpose of trying to dive into Link. When they are low enough to the surface, Link can use a sword slash to defeat them. Alternatively, they can be defeated with almost any weapon that Link has in his arsenal. Furthermore, Link can defeat multiple keese at once with a single crack of the whip.

Keese attack by diving at Link to bite Link, and they will only do so when their eyes turn red.

Moblin

Main article: Moblin

Moblin (Wooden Shield)

A Wooden Shield Moblin is a giant purple monster that holds a spear and a large wooden shield. The moblin uses the shield to block Link's attacks, although it isn't very sturdy. Link can slice the shield into pieces, leaving the moblin vulnerable to sword attacks. The moblin's primary attack is using its spear to wind back and deliver a thrusting blow at Link. Link can quickly dodge the attack and deliver a counter sword slash during the recoil period.

Moblin (Iron Shield)

An Iron Shield Moblin is a giant purple monster that holds a spear and a large Iron shield. The moblin uses the shield to block Link's attacks, and it is much sturdier than the wooden shield.

Octorok

Main article: Octorok

Quadro Baba

Main article: Quadro Baba

The Quadro Baba is a stronger variation of the standard Deku Baba. It will attack Link in the same ways as a standard deku baba by lunging towards Link, attempting to bite Link. Its mouth is divided into four parts, rather than the two halves that a standard deku baba will have. This will allow the quadro baba to alternate directions in which its mouth opens, meaning Link will have to slash either horizontally or vertically, depending on how its mouth is open. Additionally, unlike standard deku babas, quadro babas take multiple hits to defeat and can be quite challenging.

Spume

Main article: Spume

Staldra

Main article: Staldra

Staldra is a dragon-like enemy with three heads. To defeat Staldra, Link must use a single sword slash to attack all three heads in a row. If Link only hit one or two of the Staldra heads, then the chopped off heads will quickly grow back, restoring Staldra to full life.

Each of Staldra's eyes are a Electricish-blue color. However, when Link come near, the eyes of Staldra will turn red and it will dash forward trying to attack Link. This can easily be avoided by just taking a step back or utilizing Link's shield.

Watcher

Main article: Watcher

Earth Watcher

These creatures float close to the ground in the Silent Realm. They carry a lantern, and will alert the Guardians to Link's presence if he steps in the lantern's light.

The Sky

Remlit

Main article: Remlit

During the day, Remlits are normal cat-like creatures, but at night they turn into aggressive monsters that will attack Link.

To defeat these foes, Link can either use the motion plus controls to shake the tightrope while walking; or drop down, and while hanging on the rope, shake it to make the Bokoblin fall off. The Green Bokoblin will most likely be encountered on the ground as well, where his hammer is more of a threat, and Link will need to use traditional methods to defeat them.

Guay

Main article: Guay

In order to defeat an octorok, Link can deflect the rocks back with a shield bash, knocking the rock back towards the enemy.

Stalfos

Main article: Stalfos

Stalfos are skeleton-like enemies that wield two large swords which they use both to block and to attack. Link must attack from specific directions that are unprotected, requiring good timing and accurate sword slashes.

Stalfos has three main attacks. It will quickly swing one sword horizontally, perform a cross-chop with both swords, or raise both swords above its head in preparation for a powerful two-part attack.

Technoblin wield large electric clubs that can be used to attack Link. Their eyes are also electrified, giving the enemy a very different image.
