Bokoblins are a usually malevolent race that has existed in Hyrule since ancient times. Bokoblins worshipped the Demon King [[Demise]] and in the sky era, worked under Ghirahim. Since the rise of Demise's reincarnation, [[Ganon]], Bokoblins have followed him since. Many Bokoblins seem to work as thieves and pirates, taking from other races. Besides their relationship with the various Demon Kings, Bokoblins get along with other monsters and seem to view [[Moblin]]s and [[Lizalfos]] as leadership figures.

The Bokoblins featured in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' come in two variants: Red and Purple. The two variants are mostly identical, the only major difference being that the Red variety can withstand much more damage than their Purple counterparts.

Purple Bokoblins are fairly weak, and usually can be defeated quite easily, even with the [[Wooden Sword]]. They are encountered frequently in Faron Woods near the beginning of the game. They attack with wooden clubs, but do only a small amount of damage. They can generally be defeated in four hits with the Wooden Sword, and even less than that once a better sword is obtained. Arrows are also effective against them, and they can be stunned with the [[Slingshot]] or [[Gale Boomerang]]. Later in the game, Purple Bokoblins are almost entirely replaced with Red ones.

=====Normal=====
{{Float|left|{{Fi|Red Bokoblin}}}}This version of the Red Bokoblin has two black horns on its head and wears a leather vest & loincloth. Normal Bokoblins wield rusty machete-like swords when found in [[Faron Woods]] and a club covered in spiny green vines when found around [[Eldin Volcano]] and block Link's slashes. They move the sword from left to right, or hold it up, blocking directional attacks from Link's blade.

There are two main ways to defeat this type. Link can perform a carefully timed shield bash when they attack staggering them making an opening in their defense. This way is only useful when facing a single Bokoblin.

{{Float|left|{{Fi|Cursed Bokoblin}}}} A new variation known as the [[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 are much tougher than they look, as they can take a seemingly endless amount of hits from Link's Sword. The most efficient way to defeat them is by using the [[Fatal Blow]] once they have been knocked down. 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|SS|1980|Fi}}

In the battle with [[Koloktos]], the boss has the ability to summon a small horde of Cursed Bokoblins. They are much easier to defeat because Link can defeat them with an ordinary sword strike, and there is no need for a Fatal Blow. They come in groups of three or four. When Link fights them outside the boss room, they often appear in huge numbers and, sometimes, if Link does manage to defeat one, another takes its place. They are also able to follow Link across many obstacles, such as climbing ropes.

Bokoblins appear once more as an enemy in ''Breath of the Wild'', coming in many different varieties, such as the Blue Bokoblin, Silver Bokoblin, and the [[Stalkoblin]]. They can be found all over Hyrule, but tend to gather at various [[Bokoblin Camp|Camps]], with other enemies like the [[Moblin#Breath of the Wild|Moblin]] and [[Lizalfos#Breath of the Wild|Lizalfos]]. If they eat any piece of fruit or meat, they will instantly regain 100 percent of their health.
