West Hyrule<br>Caves
'''Octoroks''' are recurring enemies in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. They appear in every game except ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. They highly resemble octopi from the real world.

Octoroks in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' are located in eastern [[Hyrule]], near the [[Eastern Palace (A Link to the Past)|Eastern Palace]]. There are two types of Octoroks in ''A Link to the Past''. The first type walks around until sees [[Link (A Link to the Past)|Link]]. When it sees him, the octorok will stop to shoot a projectile. The second type will shoot multiple projectiles out in a circular fashion if it spots Link.

Despite their primary attack being the actual rock that they shoot out, simply contacting an Octorok does a full heart of damage, while the rock itself only does a ½ heart of damage. One swipe with the [[Fighter's Sword]] defeats an Octorok.

They also appear in another form where they have wings, called the [[Winged Octorok]]. Winged Octoroks are less common than the regular Octorok.

'''Octoroks''' are a recurring enemy in the ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|Zelda]]'' series, being in every game except ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. They highly resemble octopi from the real world (hence the name ''Octo''rok, meaning "eight"). They generally spit rocks, and have been found as both land- and water-dwelling enemies.


==Appearances==
{{Navi}}
===The Legend of Zelda===


In ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', Octoroks are enemies all around the overworld that shoot rocks at [[Link]], dealing half a heart of damage. Also, upon contact they deal half a [[Heart Container|heart]] of damage. They come in two colors, red and blue. The blue Octoroks take two hits to kill with the [[Wooden Sword]], as opposed to the red variety, which will be defeated with only one swipe of the Wooden Sword.
Octoroks appear as aquatic enemies in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. For this reason, they are found in nearly any place that has water. They usually lurk under the surface of the water, but when [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] gets within their range, they pop up and spit rocks at him. If Link gets too close, they will retreat back into the water. They can be defeated with the use of any long-ranged weapon or by deflecting the rocks they spit, with either the [[Hylian Shield|Hylian]] or [[Deku Shield]]. The [[Mirror Shield]] destroys their projectiles instead of returning them.


===The Adventure of Link===
A larger version of an Octorok called [[Big Octo]] is the mini-boss of [[Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly]].


In ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]'', Octoroks once again come in two varieties. The red Octoroks stay in the same place while jumping and spitting rocks. The blue versions are slightly more difficult, as they move toward Link. Defeating a red or blue Octorok rewards the player with 10 and 20 experience points, respectively.
==''Majora's Mask''==
{{Tatl}}
Octoroks in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' are identical to their ''Ocarina of Time'' counterparts, periodically hopping out of the area in which they sit. They are not a hugely common enemy but are present in nearly every region of [[Termina]]. These little enemies shoot rocks at [[Link (Ocarina of Time)#Majora's Mask|Link]] when he is in range, which can be deflected by all Shields except for the Mirror Shield. Unlike in ''Ocarina of Time'', these Octoroks take two hits to defeat. A new feature added to this game is that Octoroks can be made into floating platforms if frozen with [[Ice Arrow]]s. They can be defeated with the [[Hero's Bow]], or any projectile weapon.


===A Link to the Past===
There are bigger variations of the standard Octorok called a [[Big Octo]]. These large enemies block paths in the [[Southern Swamp]] when it is filled with poison. They can be defeated by either taking the boat ride and crashing into them or using projectile weapons to attack them. They take only one hit to defeat. Big Octos suck Link in and spit him out, dealing a large amount of damage. Taking a pictograph of one for the [[Swamp Tourist Center Guide|Tourist Guide]] grants Link 20 [[Rupee]]s.
[[File:Octorok-Sprite-3.png|left]]
Octoroks in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' are located in eastern [[Hyrule]], near the [[Eastern Palace]]. There are two types of Octoroks in ''A Link to the Past''. The first type is just a normal Octorok, which walks around in a random direction and stops if it sees Link and shoots a projectile out. The second type stops in a random direction and if it spots Link, will shoot multiple projectiles out in a circular fashion.


Despite their main attack being the actual rock that they shoot out, simply contacting an octorok will do a full heart of damage, while the rock itself only does a 1/2 heart of damage. One swipe with the [[Fighter's Sword]] will defeat an octorok.
==''Oracle of Seasons'' & ''Oracle of Ages''==
These Octoroks come in two colors, red and blue, and they still shoot rocks at [[Link (Oracle Series)|Link]]. Red Octoroks are generally weaker and defeated with one hit of Link's [[Sword]]. Blue variations are stronger and take two hits.


===Link's Awakening===
==''The Wind Waker''==
Octoroks in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' seem much larger than in previous 3D titles, but they can be defeated in much the same way. They are water-dwelling enemies that live in the [[Forest Haven]], the [[Forbidden Woods]] and the [[Great Sea]]. They come in three different variations: Rock Octorok, Bomb Octorok and [[Big Octo]].


Octoroks in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'' appear all over [[Koholint Island]] and are some of the most common enemies in the game. If they spot Link they will shoot a rock in his general direction. They also appear in another form where they have wings, called the [[Winged Octorok]]. Winged Octoroks are less common than the regular Octorok, and even though they have wings, they can't fly especially well. If Link tries to charge at them and attack, they jump and float in the air for a few seconds.
===Rock Octorok===
The Rock Octoroks live in the Forest Haven and Forbidden Woods. Like their name implies, their only method of attacking is to spit rocks at [[Link (The Wind Waker)|Link]] when provoked. These rocks can be easily deflected by using Link's Shield, defeating them in the process. Link can also defeat them with projectile weapons like the [[Boomerang]] or the [[Hero's Bow]]. It is impossible to defeat them with just Link's Sword, as they will dive under the water if he gets too close.


===Ocarina of Time===
===Bomb Octorok===
[[File:Octorok(OOT).png|thumb|left|200px|Artwork of Octorok from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'']]
Bomb Octoroks are only found in the Great Sea, though there are a large amount of them. As their name implies, they shoot Bombs at Link instead of rocks, which, naturally, cannot be deflected with the Shield. Link can defeat them with the Bow, the Boomerang, or simply using [[Bomb]]s. Link could also just avoid them altogether.


{{Navi}}
===Big Octo===
{{Main|Big Octo}}
Big Octos are much bigger than normal Octoroks, and also do not attack the same way. They are only found in specific areas around the [[Great Sea]], and have either 4, 8, or 12 eyes. If there is a random flock of [[Seagull]]s flying around one spot in the sea, there is a [[Big Octo]] there. Once Link approaches one, a whirlpool surrounds him, and the Big Octo rises out of the water. The eyes can be defeated with either the [[Bomb]]s, the Bow, or the Boomerang. Using the Boomerang requires the most hits, and the Bombs take only one. If Link is not fast enough, the Big Octo will suck him in and spit him out to a random island.


Octoroks appear as aquatic enemies in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. For this reason they are found in nearly any place that has water. They usually lurk under the surface of the water, but when Link gets within their range they pop up and spit rocks at him. If Link gets too close, they will retreat back into the water. They can be defeated with the use of any long ranged weapon or by deflecting the rocks the rocks they spit, with either the [[Hylian Shield|Hylian]] or [[Deku Shield]]s. The [[Mirror Shield]] destroys their projectiles instead of returning them.
==''The Minish Cap''==
The Octoroks from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'' are much like the original ones. They are red and wander around in [[Hyrule Field]]. They shoot rocks at [[Link (The Minish Cap)|Link]] and can be dealt with by shooting arrows, bombing or just slashing them with Link's Sword. The boss in the [[Temple of Droplets]] is a normal Octorok, since Link was minimized the enemy appears to be huge.


A larger version of an Octorok called [[Big Octo]] is the mini-boss of [[Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly|Lord Jabu Jabu's belly]].
On contact, the Octorok deals ¼ a heart worth of damage.
When the Octorok's rock projectile hits Link, it deals ¼ a heart worth of damage.


===Majora's Mask===
Octoroks also come in a rare variety, known as [[Golden Octorok]].
{{Tatl}}


Octoroks in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' are identical to their ''Ocarina of Time'' counterparts, periodically hopping out of the area in which they sit. They are not a hugely common enemy, but are present in nearly every region of [[Termina]]. These little enemies will shoot rocks at Link when he is in range, which can be deflected by all shields except for the Mirror Shield. Unlike in ''Ocarina of Time'', these Octoroks take two hits to kill. A new feature added to this game is that Octoroks can be made into floating platforms if frozen with ice arrows. They can be killed with the [[Hero's Bow]], or any projectile weapon.
{{Figurine|Octorok|Octorok-Figurine.png|Appears in various areas. There are red and blue ones. They've appeared in every Zelda game to date. They spit rocks, so careful!}}


There are bigger variations of the standard Octorok called a [[Big Octo]]. These large enemies block paths in the [[Southern Swamp]] when it is filled with poison. They can be killed by either taking the boat ride and crashing into them, or using projectile weapons to attack them. They take only one hit to kill. Big Octos will suck Link in and spit him out, dealing a large amount of damage. Taking a picture of one for the Pictograph guy will grant you 20 [[Rupee]]s.
==''Phantom Hourglass''==
===Octorok===
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'', Octoroks return to their land-based appearance from ''The Legend of Zelda''. They are small red ball-like monsters with four small legs and they move around on land, shooting rocks at random intervals. Some stay in one strategic place (sometimes unreachable, serving as more of an obstacle than an enemy) and shoot rocks forward at regular intervals. They can be defeated with any weapon, except the Boomerang which only stuns them. They are found throughout most of the game, but are present in large quantities in the [[Temple of Courage]], where the [[Bow#Phantom Hourglass|bow]] is found.


===Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages===
===Ocean Octorok===
Ocean Octoroks are water-based variations of the Octorok. They can be annoying at times, especially when encountered in the fog. They stay close to the water and dive under repeatedly, shooting rocks when they reemerge. A single, well-aimed cannon strike will defeat them.


These Octoroks come in two colors, red and blue, like many other Octoroks, and still shoot rocks at Link. Red octoroks are generally weaker and defeated with one hit of Link's [[Sword]]. Blue variations are stronger and take two hits.
==''Spirit Tracks''==
There are two kinds of Octoroks in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]''.


===The Wind Waker===
===Octorok===
Normal octoroks appear in grassy areas, dungeons, and the [[Take 'Em All On]] challenge. They continuously shoot rocks and sometimes may shoot unexpectedly at [[Link (Spirit Tracks)|Link]] while he is off-screen. The rocks can be deflected with Link's shield. Octoroks are easily defeated with Link's Sword.


Octoroks in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' seem much larger than in previous 3D titles, but they can be defeated in much the same way. They are water-dwelling enemies that live in the [[Forest Haven]], the [[Forbidden Woods]] and the [[Great Sea]]. They come in three different variations: Rock Octorok, Bomb Octorok, and [[Big Octo]].
===Ocean Octorok===
{{Main|Ocean Octorok}}
These appear underwater in the [[Ocean Realm]]. They may shoot ink at Link, causing them to mess up the map and leaving Link to clean it off. They can be defeated with the [[Cannon]].


====Rock Octorok====
==''Skyward Sword''==
Octoroks are now land creatures and they seem to resemble their counterparts from older 2D ''Zelda'' titles. They also have some similarities to [[Deku Scrub]]s from previous ''Zelda'' games. Octoroks shoot rocks toward Link, but whenever [[Link (Skyward Sword)|Link]] comes close, they hide under patches of grass or rock. In order to defeat an Octorok, Link can deflect the rocks back by lunging his shield forward knocking the rock back towards the enemy. Link can also use the [[Whip]] to pull the Octorok up from underground for a short period of time, allowing him to slash away with the Sword.


The Rock Octoroks live in the Forest Haven and Forbidden Woods. Like their name implies, their only method of attacking is to spit rocks at Link when provoked. These rocks can be easily deflected by using Link's shield, killing them in the process. Link can also kill them with projectile weapons like the [[Boomerang]] or the [[Hero's Bow]]. It is impossible to kill them with just Link's sword as they will dive under the water if he gets too close.

[[File:Octorok-Model-Small.png|right]]Octorok (Grass) are octopus-like creatures that hide beneath shrub-like camouflage. When Link comes close to the Octorok, it spits out a rock that can easily be deflected with a shield bash or with Link's Sword. They can also be defeated by using the Whip to pull them out of the ground, then slashing at them with the Sword.


====Bomb Octorok====
===Octorok (Rock)===
 
{{Fi|Octorok (Rock)}}
Bomb Octoroks are only found in the Great Sea, though there are a large amount of them. As their name implies, they shoot bombs at Link instead of rocks, which, naturally, cannot be deflected with the shield. Link can defeat them with the Bow, the Boomerang, or simply using [[Bomb]]s. He could also just avoid them altogether.
Very similar to its Grass counterpart, the Octorok (Rock) shoots projectile rocks at Link from a distance which he must deflect using his Shield or Sword. This version of the Octorok resides in the [[Lanayru Province]]. Unlike its counterpart, this Octorok has a mushroom-shaped rock atop its head, which it can hide under if Link ventures too close.


====Big Octo====
===Octorok (Sky)===
{{Main|Big Octo}}
[[File:Sky Octorok - Skyward Sword Wii.png|left|114px]]
These pink Octoroks live in [[The Sky]] around [[Skyloft]], dwelling on the floating rocks spitting projectiles at Link as he flies by on his [[Crimson Loftwing]]. These kinds are much bigger than their land-dwelling counterparts, and can be defeated by [[Spiral Charge|Spiral Charging]] at them on the [[Loftwing]].
{{clear}}


Big Octos are much bigger than normal Octoroks, and also do not attack the same way. They are only found in specific areas around the [[Great Sea]], and have either 4, 8, or 12 eyes. If there is a random flock of seagulls flying around one spot in the sea, there is a [[Big Octo]] there. Once Link approaches one, a whirlpool will surround him, and the Octo will rise out of the water. The eyes can be killed with either the [[Bomb]]s, the Bow, or the Boomerang. Using the Boomerang requires the most hits, and the Bombs take only one. If Link is not fast enough, the Big Octo will suck him in and spit him out to a random island.

===The Minish Cap===
==''Breath of the Wild''==
The Octoroks from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'' are much like the original ones. They are red and wander around in [[Hyrule Field]]. They shoot rocks at Link and can be dealt with by shooting arrows, bombing or just slashing them with Link's sword. The boss in the [[Temple of Droplets]] is a normal Octorok, since Link was minimized the enemy appears to be huge.

On contact, the Octorok deals 1/4th a heart worth of damage.
In this game, Octoroks have much better aim and range, are markedly persistent, and are more dangerous than before. However, they have low hitpoints and are easily defeated with even the most weak weapons. There are multiple types of Octoroks:
When the Octorok's rock projectile hits Link, it deals 1/4th a heart worth of damage.


{{Figurine|Octorok|Octorok-Figurine.png|Appears in various areas. There are red and blue ones. They've appeared in every Zelda game to date. They spit rocks, so careful!}}

===Phantom Hourglass===
The damage produced by Octoroks is affixed, and cannot be altered by the armor worn or by defense effects from food and elixirs.
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'', Octoroks return to their land-based appearance from ''The Legend of Zelda''. They're small red ball-like monsters with 4 small legs and they move around on land, shooting rocks at random intervals. Some stay in one strategic place (sometimes unreachable, serving as more of an obstacle than an enemy) and shoot rocks forward at regular intervals. They can be defeated with any weapon, except the boomerang which only stuns them. They are found throughout most of the game, but are present in large quantities in the [[Temple of Courage]], where the [[Bow#Phantom Hourglass|bow]] is found.


===Spirit Tracks===
Octoroks are skittish and defensive creatures which hide under common environmental features, and some have to be lured out to attack in order to defeat them. Albeit they are common nuisances and are largely found in small groups, there are areas in Hyrule which are infested by them, like the forest area west of the [[Rito Stable]], and the [[Rok Woods]].
There are two kinds of Octoroks in this ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]''.


====Octorok====
Some types of Octorok can migrate while hidden under the soil, and will chase [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] and reposition themselves in order to attack. When defeated, they may drop their [[Octorok Tentacle|tentacles]], their [[Octorok Eyeball|eyeballs]], [[Octo Balloon]]s and may drop fish that they've consumed. Contrary to many other enemies, Octoroks do not have elemental drops related to their type.
These kinds appear in grassy areas and the [[Take 'Em All On]] challenge. They will continuously shoot rocks and sometimes may shoot unexpectedly at Link while he is off-screen. They are easily defeated with Link's sword.


====Ocean Octorok====
None of these features apply to the [[Sky Octorok]], as it has no attacks or drops.
These appear underwater in the [[Ocean Realm]]. They may shoot ink at Link, causing them to mess up the map and leaving Link to clean it off. They can be defeated with the [[Cannon]].


===Skyward Sword===
====Footnotes====
Octoroks are now land creatures and they seem to resemble their counterparts from older 2D Zelda titles. They also have some similarities to [[Deku Scrub]]s from previous Zelda games. Octoroks will shoot rocks towards Link, but whenever Link comes close, they will hide under patches of grass or rock. In order to defeat an Octorok, Link can deflect the rocks back by lunging his shield forward knocking the rock back towards the enemy. Link can also use the whip to pull the Octorok up from underground for a short period of time, allowing him to slash away with his sword.

When Link comes close to the Octorok it spits out a rock that can easily be deflected with a shield bash or with Link's Sword. They can also be defeted by using the whip to pull them out of the ground, then slashing at them with your Sword.
===''The Faces of Evil''===
In this game, Octoroks are rather large octopus-like creatures that live in [[Firestone Lake]] and [[Fortress Centrum]]. They shoot rocks out of their mouth toward Link. Octoroks patrol small areas, but always turn towards Link when he is nearby. They have a rather large defense, so it takes multiple sword slashes to defeat them. A better method is to toss a single [[Bomb]] towards the Octorok to defeat it. Octoroks always leave behind a valuable Blue [[Rupee|Ruby]] as their spoil.


====Octorok (Rock)====
===''The Wand of Gamelon''===
{{Fi|Octorok (Rock)}}
Octoroks can be found in only in [[Tykogi Tower]]. They look like and act the same as in ''[[Link: The Faces of Evil|The Faces of Evil]]''.
Very similar to its Grass counterpart, the Octorok (Rock) shoots projectile rocks at Link form a distance which he must deflect using his shield or sword. This version of the Octorok resides in the [[Lanayru Province]] of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. Unlike its counterpart, this Octorok has a mushroom-shaped rock atop its head, which it can hide under if Link ventures too close.
