There is a stronger version of the Moblin called a [[Club Moblin]] that guards the entrance to the [[Forest Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Forest Temple]] and is notably more difficult. It swings a giant club at Link, shooting out clouds of dust which will knock Link back if he is hit. It is vulnerable to the [[Fairy Bow|Bow]] and the Hookshot, though the Hookshot isn't practical to use until upgraded to the [[Longshot]]. The way Link can get past them is by running to the left then the right or in reverse. Once Link gets behind them he can slash away with his sword. They take three hits to kill with the [[Master Sword]]. Every time Link re-enters the area, the Club Moblin will reappear. | There is a stronger version of the Moblin called a [[Club Moblin]] that guards the entrance to the [[Forest Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Forest Temple]] and is notably more difficult.

Link must dash over the Moblin's shield to attack it. Then, slash away at its exposed rear. This type of Moblin is commonly found on narrow ledges, where one wrong move could force Link to restart the battle. Metal shield moblins take more hits to kill than the wooden shield moblins. Unlike wooden shield moblins, their shields won't break; they can also be attacked from afar with the bow. | Link must dash over the Moblin's shield to attack it.

[[File:Moblin.jpg|175px|thumb|right|A Red Moblin]] | |||
{{quote|This heavyweight species of monster can be found all over Hyrule. They're physically very strong, their legs alone strong enough to resist the force of a bomb blast. They're much more dangerous than Bokoblins. In fact, Moblins have been known to pick up Bokoblins and throw them as makeshift projectile weapons.|In-Game Description}} | |||
Moblins look extremely different compared to other installments in the series. This time they are much bigger with a longer snout. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'' they usually wield large club weapons. They come in many varieties. Link can find them in various enemy encampments across [[Hyrule]]. A good strategy is to use Two-Handed Weapons to knock over the Moblin before it can attack. Other weapons will not make them fall, but instead merely flinch. | |||
====Blue Moblin==== | |||
A slightly stronger variant of the Red Moblin. Often seen wielding reinforced Moblin weapons, such as [[Spiked Moblin Spear]]s or [[Spiked Moblin Club]]s. Upon death, they may drop some [[Moblin Guts]]. | |||
====Black Moblin==== | |||
Even more powerful than the Blue variant, these Moblins are usually the leader of their pack. They attack quicker, and carry stronger, dragonbone weapons, including the [[Dragonbone Moblin Club]]. | |||
====Silver Moblin==== | |||
[[File:Stalmoblin.jpg|175px|thumb|right|A Stalmoblin]] | |||
These are the most powerful versions of the Moblin in the regular mode of the game. They are much more aggressive than any other versions, and have faster attacking speed, especially with bows. They can carry elemental arrows, and have significantly more health than weaker variants. Upon death, they can drop rare materials such as [[Sapphire]] or [[Topaz]], as well as an assortment of Moblin goods. | |||
====Golden Moblin==== | |||
Golden Moblins are found exclusively in [[Master Mode]], and have more health than their silver counterparts, though they carry the same weapons and drop the same items. | |||
====Stalmoblin==== | |||
{{main|Stalmoblin}} | |||
This variant of Moblin only appears at night, and behaves very similarly to creatures such as [[Stalchild|Stalchildren]] from previous games. They only have 1 HP, but when struck, their heads will drop to the ground, and will need to be destroyed in order to be fully rid of Stalmoblin. They often appear in groups of 2 or 3. | |||
====Cursed Moblin==== | |||
{{main|Cursed Moblin}} | |||
The Cursed Moblin only appears in areas tainted by the [[Malice]] of Calamity Ganon. They appear identical to the heads of Stalmoblin, though they are engulfed in a dark aura. They tend to spawn from a certain area of Malice, so destroying the source will prevent them from appearing. | |||
