Bokoblin

Bokoblins are an enemy found in the 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 will be appearing in Skyward Sword and are this time more Moblin looking.

The Wind Waker

Bokoblins had their debut appearance in The Wind Waker. They are a simple enemy that is pretty easy to kill, being the first enemy you fight in the game. They come in 3 variations: Blue, Green, and Pink. They will occasionally drop Joy Pendants after being defeated. Alternatively, you can use your 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 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

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.

Twilight Princess

The Bokoblins in this game come in two sub-species, Bokoblin Archers and Bokoblin Warriors.

Warriors

The Warriors can be found mostly in Hyrule Field, Also in dungeons. They come in two variants, Purple and Red Bokoblins. The Red ones are a little more tougher since they have a little more health, But the two variants are otherwise pretty much the same. The Warriors have long swords and will directly run at Link. The best way to defeat them is just slashing them with the sword, but bombs, arrows and many other items will do just fine.

Skyward Sword

Bokoblins have a much different visual look this time around, taking on a more moblin-like appearance. Some of them have small caps on top of their heads or wear leopard skin underwear, but these do not seem to have an effect on how they battle.

Bokoblins are common enemies, found in many different areas throughout the game. When they detect Link's presence (except for the Archer Bokoblins), they will sprint towards him and strike at him with their weapons. Some also hold horns which they will blow to call out reinforcements.

Green Variation

Green Bokoblins wield hammers and are seen to be wearing skull caps. Some are found on tightropes, where link must make them fall off to continue.

Orange Variation

This variation of the Bokoblin has three different types. Sword wielding, Club wielding and Archer.

Sword Bokoblin

Sword Bokoblins wield machete-like swords and block Link's slashes. They will move the sword from left to right, or hold it up, blocking directional attacks from Link's blade.

Archer Bokoblin

Archer Bokoblins are found in towers. Link can use bombs to destroy the towers, bring the Bokoblins down with them.

Zombie Variation

A new variation known as zombie bokoblin, are zombified enemies found in the underground section of the Ancient Cistern. They are slower than the normal variation and do not have a sword to block Link's attacks. However, they are difficult to kill, and if Link does manage to defeat one another will take its place. They are also able to follow Link across many obstacles, such as climbing ropes.
