[[File:Hinox-Sprite-1.png|left]]Hinox are one of the first enemies that [[Link (A Link to the Past)|Link]] encounters when entering the [[Dark World]]. First found near the [[Pyramid of Power]], these one-eyed monsters have the ability to toss bombs.


Hinox will move around rather slowly, but if they make eye contact with Link, they will charge in his direction. Even when the Hinox is charging, it does not move too quickly, so Link will have some time to react. While the Hinox will toss bombs out randomly, if Link strikes the Hinox with the [[Master Sword]], the Hinox will immediately turn in his direction and toss a bomb.

Hinox makes an appearance in ''Link's Awakening'' as the mini-boss of the second dungeon, [[Bottle Grotto]]. Later, a red and [[Blue Hinox]] appear as the mini-boss of [[Eagle's Tower]] and [[Turtle Rock (Link's Awakening)|Turtle Rock]]. However, the behavior and strength of these two Hinox are the same as the first Hinox encountered in Bottle Grotto.

However, the behavior and strength of these two Hinox are the same as the first Hinox encountered in Bottle Grotto.


The Hinox is more difficult than its ''A Link to the Past'' counterpart due to Link having to face it in a room instead of open space. It walks around the room slowly, and it occasionally charges and dashes toward Link. If Hinox gets close enough to Link, it will grab him and toss Link to the side. Every time Link damages the Hinox, it retaliates by throwing a bomb. Link can defeat it by using his sword to hit the Hinox. Alternatively, Hinox has a natural weakness to Bombs, of which Link can defeat him with two bomb attacks. Later in the quest, [[Bomb Arrow]]s, the [[Boomerang]], or the [[Magic Rod]] make it much easier to defeat these monsters.

==''Four Swords Adventures''==
==''Four Swords Adventures''==
In ''Four Swords Adventures'', the Hinox appear on [[Death Mountain Foothills]] as one-eyed ogres. They throw [[Boulder]]s and shake [[Force Gem]]s out of Link. There are a total of 23 Hinox, 20 of which can be defeated by entering a nearby cave obtaining the [[Quake Medallion]] and throwing it on them. The Hinox later appears in the [[Palace of Winds (Four Swords Adventures)|Palace of Winds]].

==''A Link Between Worlds''==
The Hinox in ''A Link Between Worlds'' are a lot like the Hinox in ''A Link to the Past''. There is also a snow variant of the Hinox that are found only in the Lorule Death Mountain and throw snowballs at Link. There is also a Hinox in a secret cave, called the Cowardly Hinox, who will give Link Rupees. However, if Link asks for more Rupees too many times, the cowardly Hinox will attack Link and cannot be defeated. The only way to escape is to run out of the cave.

The Hinox in ''Breath of the Wild'' are mini-bosses that are sprinkled around the world of Hyrule, of which there are forty of them in total. They are usually found sleeping and can be awakened with attacks or loud noise. Like [[Bokoblin]]s and [[Moblin]]s, they're pig-like creatures. They use their large size and fists to hurt Link. If Link gets close enough, they will try to punish him by stomping the ground below them. Often they use their environment to their advantage, which can include them uprooting nearby trees and attempting to flatten Link with them. However, they are fairly slow enemies and their moves can be telegraphed quite easily.

Hinox may wear wooden or metallic shin guards, and the former can be set on fire. They may wear one or two shin guards, but never two of the same material. The shin guards prevent Link from striking its legs when it's standing, so it's recommended to either burn the wooden ones, or strike the Hinox once it's sitting down on the floor.

The shin guards prevent Link from striking its legs when it's standing, so it's recommended to either burn the wooden ones, or strike the Hinox once it's sitting down on the floor. They may sport melee weapons of many types that they wear as jewelry (often a sword + spear + two-handed weapon), though some Hinox may also wear [[Ancient Orb]]s as well in the same fashion.


Hinox can be stunned by attacking their eye. However, after about half of the Hinox health has been drained, it will begin to use its hand to protect its eye when aimed at. As such, the player must wait for the Hinox to attack for them to uncover their eye.

* Hinox are vulnerable to [[Urbosa's Fury]] strikes at a 300 HP damage per strike. As such, it takes 2 strikes to kill a Red Hinox and 2½ strikes for a Blue Hinox, but 3 strikes are not enough to kill a Black Hinox (1000 HP versus 900 HP damage), so it has to be finished with weapons.

The fact that they can be found at [[Hebra]] but not at the [[Gerudo Highlands]] implies that they may have been driven out of the [[Gerudo (Breath of the Wild)|Gerudo province]] altogether by the [[Gerudo]] people.

==''Age of Calamity''==
==''Age of Calamity''==
In ''[[Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity|Age of Calamity]]'', the ''Hinox'' first appears as one of the bosses during [[The Yiga Clan Attacks!]] scenario. It has an identical appearance as its ''Breath of the Wild'' counterpart. It will attack nearby warriors by smashing its massive hands on the ground, as well as occasionally leaping in the air and trying to squash its adversaries. The Hinox will also roll on the ground towards any nearby warriors.

When defeated, a Hinox may drop a Hinox Toenail or a Hinox Tooth. Additionally, the player will receive a [[Hinox Trophy]] each time one of these bosses are defeated. These can be used to complete [[Age of Calamity Quests|quests]] or upgrade weapons of the various warriors. Stronger variants and elemental variants of Hinox also appear throughout ''Age of Calamity'', including [[Blue Hinox]], [[Black Hinox]], [[Electric Hinox]], [[Fire Hinox]], [[Ice Hinox]], [[Malice Hinox]], and [[Stalnox]]. The stronger variants appear in later scenarios, with the elemental variants appearing in levels corresponding to their elements.

{{quote|These giant, one-eyed monsters live mostly in the woods and have large, thick horns. Hinox are known for tearing entire trees from the ground and using them as weapons. Occasionally, they fall asleep on roads, presenting terrifying roadblocks for travelers. A deft hand can steal weapons from the necklaces they wear.|In-game description}}
Hinox in ''Tears of the Kingdom'' retain their mini-bosses appearances from ''Breath of the Wild''. They are usually found sleeping and can be awakened with attacks or loud noise.
