'''Blaino''' is a character who appears in both ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]''{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Encyclopedia]]'', pg. 167}} and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]''. He is a round creature who uses boxing gloves to knock his enemies back.


== Strategy ==
==''Link's Awakening''==
In order to defeat Blaino, Link must use a well-timed Spin Attack. When Blaino lets its guard down, which may signify it charging up for a punch, Link uses Roc's Feather in conjunction when he is directly above Blaino to damage him. If its charged punch hits Link, he will be sent back to the entrance of the dungeon. Many other weapons work as well. After it has taken several sword strikes, it will be defeated.
In ''Link's Awakening'', Blaino is one of the [[Mini-Boss]]es of [[Turtle Rock (Link's Awakening)|Turtle Rock]]. His gloves completely block [[Link (A Link to the Past)#Link's Awakening|Link]]'s attacks in the front, so Link must hit him with the [[Sword]] from behind. Blaino leaves himself open to damage after using a powerful dash forward, which, if it hits, sends Link back to the entrance of the dungeon. He also has the ability to stun Link with his punches, which can leave him helpless as Blaino dashes toward him and sends him flying away. After he is defeated, a portal to the entrance appears in addition to a [[Fairy]]. In the next room, Link can obtain the [[Magic Rod (Link's Awakening)|Magic Rod]] if he has found the hidden room with a switch and activated it previously to knock down the barrier in front of the Magic Rod's [[Treasure Chest]].
 
==''Oracle of Seasons''==
[[File:Blaino-Sprite.png|left]]Blaino lives in his [[Blaino's Gym|Gym]] in [[Spool Swamp]] in ''Oracle of Seasons''. He took [[Ricky]]'s boxing gloves.{{Ref|OoS|682|Ricky}} [[Link (Oracle Series)|Link]] can fight against Blaino, without using any [[Magical Ring]]s or other weapons besides his fists, for 10 [[Rupee]]s; if he cheats, the bet goes up to 20 Rupees.{{Ref|OoS|745|Blaino}}{{Ref|OoS|747|Blaino}} Once Link defeats him, Blaino pronounces him the new champion and gives back Ricky's gloves.{{Ref|OoS|750|Blaino}}{{Ref|OoS|103|In-Game Description}}
