Bokoblin: Difference between revisions

'''Bokoblins''' are a common enemy found within the [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Zelda'']] series. They appear as large rat-like creatures and come in a variety of colors. These enemies will often wield weapons and will attempt to attack [[Link]] if he comes within their range of sight. They appear in the most recent game, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'', and is this time more [[Moblin]] looking.

==The Legend of Zelda==

==The Wind Waker==

[[File:WW_Bokoblin.png|130px|thumb|left|Wind Waker Bokoblin Art]]Bokoblins made their debut appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]''. They are a simple enemy that is fairly easy to kill, being the first enemy Link fights in the game. They come in 3 variations: Blue, Green, and Pink. They will occasionally drop [[Joy Pendant|Joy Pendants]] after being defeated. Alternatively, Link can use his [[Grappling Hook]] to steal their Joy Pendants.

===Blue Variation===

The blue variation is the simplest one, as you may find them weaponless. If they are holding a weapon, it's either a [[Deku Stick#Boko Stick|Boko Stick]], or a large sword.

===Green Variation===

The green variation is stronger than the blue, as they wield large swords and have shields, which they use to block with.

===Pink Variation===

[[File:TP_Bokoblin.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Twilight Princess Bokoblin]]The pink variation is probably the smallest threat of them all, as the only weapon that it carries is a telescope. These Bokoblins are only found on watch towers or rafts around the [[Great Sea]].

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are two main ways to defeat this type.  

Link can preform a carefully timed shield bash when they attack staggering them making an opening in their defense. This way is only useful when facing a one or two Bokoblin.  

====Leader====

Bokoblin Leaders have the same look and tactics as the sword Bokoblins, the only difference being the blue cap it wears and the [[Monster Horn|horn]] it carries.<ref>{{Cite|SS|1970|Fi}}</ref> If a Leader spots Link it will utilize its horn as an alarm calling for backup. In the beginning, the only way to get rid of this horn is to kill the leader. Later on as the game progresses, when Link obtains the [[whip]], he can use it to disarm the leader of its horn without killing him.  

They occasionally drop a Monster Horn when defeated.

Link may use the whip to obtain a Bokoblin Leader's monster horn prior to them calling in reinforcements.  

===Archer===

[[File:Bokoblin archer.png|150px|thumb|right|Bokoblin Archer]]Archers are characterized by a skull cap and a bandanna covering its mouth. Every different colored Bokoblin archer behaves generally the same way. When they spot Link they will raise an alarm much like the Bokoblin Leaders. Archers attack from a distance.<ref>{{Cite|SS|1973|Fi}}</ref> Although the archers range can be dangerous early on in the game, it only takes one hit to take them out.

A new variation known as Cursed Bokoblin, are zombified enemies found within the underground section of the [[Ancient Cistern]]. They are much slower than the normal variation and do not have a sword to block Link's attacks. However, they're much tougher than they look, as they can take a seemingly endless amount of hits from Link's sword. The most efficient way to kill them is by using the [[Fatal Blow]]. Also, when Link brandishes any of the shields in the [[Sacred Shield]] series, the Cursed Bokoblins appear to be afraid of the shield and begin to retreat back from Link. <ref>{{Cite|SS|1980|Fi}}</ref>

===Blue Bokoblin===

The Blue Bokoblin is very similar to the Red Bokoblin in that he has similar tactics and clothing although it is much tougher taking twice the damage of a red one.<ref>{{Cite|SS|1971|Fi}}</ref>

===Green Bokoblin===

 

 

===Technoblin===
