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

The Red Bokoblin is the standard Bokoblin. They are the most common and the weakest. They come in three different types: normal ones that wield swords or clubs, [[Red Bokoblin (Archer)|Archers]], and [[Red Bokoblin (Leaders)|Leaders]].

{{quote|This common species is a nuisance all over Hyrule. While not very clever, they are at least intelligent enough to hunt beasts and grill the meat for food. They are sometimes seen marching in groups. If they come at you, watch out for their sharp horns!|In-Game Description}}

Bokoblins in ''Tears of the Kingdom'' come in different varieties, such as the basic Red Bokoblin and the [[Stalkoblin]]. They can be found all over Hyrule, but tend to gather at various [[Monster Camp|Camps]], with other enemies like the [[Moblin#Tears of the Kingdom|Moblin]] and [[Lizalfos#Tears of the Kingdom|Lizalfos]]. They can now also be encountered in either heavily fortified monster camps or in patrols where they are led by a variant of [[Boss Bokoblin]], attacking in formation until the leader is killed. All variants of Bokoblin are often seen carrying basic unfused and fused weapons, usually fused with crude materials such as rocks and mushrooms. Any variant of Bokoblin can also be encountered on horseback, occasionally riding on wild animals, stationed atop a [[Battle Talus]], in pairs of one on horseback towing a wagon carrying another Bokoblin, and carrying crude backpacks filled with any variety of materials, from meat, to arrow-fusion materials, to [[Zonaite]] if encountered in the Depths. Any variant of Bokoblin can also be encountered clad in rock armor, which will have to be broken with a blunt weapon in order for them to recieve damage properly. If they eat any piece of fruit or meat, they will instantly regain 100 percent of their health. Standard Bokoblins will often drop [[Bokoblin Fang]] and [[Bokoblin Horn]] when defeated. When [[Kilton]] moves to [[Tarrey Town]], a Bokoblin of any type is his first request for his Monster Collection, as per the [[A Monstrous Collection I]] sidequest.

*The initial designs of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword's]]'' [[Bokoblin]]s looked "too cute", and thus were made scarier by sharpening their teeth and making their eyes narrower.{{Ref|pg. 60|[The Bokoblin's] initial designs looked pretty cute, but we realized that if they looked too cute, it took the fun out of attacking them. So, in order to make them look scarier, we sharpened their teeth and made their eyes smaller and narrower.|Designer Kiuchi, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia|Hyrule Historia]]''}}
