'''Moblins''', also known as '''Molblins''', are common enemies seen throughout [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. They are foot soldiers created in [[Ganon]]'s image. They are pig-like beasts and are frequent to the games. They were first introduced in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' and are still making appearances in recent titles such as ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''.
'''Moblins''', also known as '''Molblins''', are common enemies seen throughout [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. They are foot soldiers of Ganon, and sometimes other enemy forces. They are bulldog or pig-like soldiers and are frequent to the games. They were first introduced in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' and are still making appearances in recent titles such as ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''.  While Moblins are often just enemies, other games portray them as a race of Hyrule, and unlike most other ''monsters'', consistently possess the ability to speak with [[Hylian]]s.


== Biology ==
Moblins are portrayed as bipedal mammalian creatures that are quite diverse in appearance.
Moblins appear to be omnivorous as Great Moblin is seen eating meat in his official artwork, and is said to enjoy [[Spring Banana]]s as well.
However, in Breath of the Wild, the bestiary says that they are Carnivores and moblin enemies do not appear to eat vegetables unlike Bokoblins.
== Culture ==
Little is seen of Moblin culture, but it appears to be militaristic, and based on raiding other settlements.

===The Legend of Zelda===
===The Legend of Zelda===
In ''The Legend of Zelda'', Moblins appear in two varieties, Orange and Blue. The only difference between the two is that the Orange one requires two hits to defeat, while the Blue one requires three (with the [[Wooden Sword]]). They attack by running into [[Link]] and on occasion shoot [[Arrow]]s.

They attack by running into [[Link]], and on occasion, shoot [[Arrow]]s.


A few Moblins appear in caves called [[Secret Moblin]]s and will give Link 10, 30, 50, or 100 denominations of [[Rupee]]s to keep their hiding place hidden.{{Ref|LoZ|58|Secret Moblin}}

===The Adventure of Link===
Moblins ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]'' throughout [[Western Hyrule]] and [[Death Mountain]] and attack Link with spears. The weakest are colored orange and simply charges Link in endless waves. They give no experience points and steal 10 experience if they hit Link. They will, however, drop [[Magic Jar|Blue Magic Jars]], and an occasional [[Point Bag]] worth 50 experience. The second variety of Orange Moblin, along with the stronger red and blue varieties swing and throw their spears at Link. Orange spear-throwing Moblins give 10 experience on death. Red and blue moblins, who are incrementally tougher to kill both yield 20 experience each.

In the game's story, Moblins are established as members of Ganon's remaining followers conspiring to revive their master by sacrificing Link. If Link dies, they succeed in this endeavor.

===A Link to the Past===
===A Link to the Past===
[[File:Moblin-Sprite-1.png|left]]Moblins first appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' when Link enters the [[Dark World]] after defeating [[Agahnim]]. They can be found patrolling the area around the [[Pyramid of Power]], as well as throughout the overworld within the Dark World. They will walk around with their [[Trident]] spears, tossing them at Link when he draws near.
[[File:Moblin-Sprite-1.png|left]]Moblins first appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' when Link enters the [[Dark World]] after defeating [[Agahnim]]. Moblins are depicted as Piggish monsters in [[Ganon]]'s image. They can be found patrolling the area around the [[Pyramid of Power]], as well as throughout the overworld within the Dark World. They will walk around with their [[Trident]] spears, tossing them at Link when he draws near.


Despite their ability to use a projectile weapon, it isn't much of a threat at all. Link can deflect the trident spears with his [[Fire Shield]] and even if they hit, they will only deal 1/2 a heart of damage. More dangerous than that if the Moblin simply makes contact with Link while walking around, it will deal two full hearts of damage.

Moblins don't have much health, and can be defeated with one direct swipe from the [[Master Sword]]. The Moblin are also one of the enemies that will turn to [[Slime]] when Link sprinkles [[Magic Powder]] on them.

===Link's Awakening===
===Link's Awakening===
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', Moblins are extemely common enemies. They can appear in [[dungeon]]s or in some regions of [[Koholint Island]], such as the [[Mysterious Woods]] or [[Tal Tal Heights]].{{Ref|LA|310|[[Ulrira]]}}
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', Moblins are extremely common enemies, and appear in both bulldog, and pig variants. They can appear in [[dungeon]]s or in some regions of [[Koholint Island]], such as Bulldog moblins the [[Mysterious Woods]] [[Tal Tal Heights]]. While Pig Warrior Moblins tend to be in mountainous or plains areas like [[Ukuku Prairie]]. {{Ref|LA|310|[[Ulrira]]}}


A gang of Moblins lives in a [[Moblin Cave|cave]] in the Tal Tal Heights area. Their leader, the [[King Moblin]], kidnaps [[Madam MeowMeow]]'s pet [[Chain Chomp]], [[BowWow]].{{Ref|LA|293|Madam MeowMeow}} Link must fight through many Moblins to save it.

===Ocarina of Time===
===Ocarina of Time===
Moblins appear in the [[Sacred Forest Meadow]] when Link returns as an adult. They will charge at him should he enter their field of vision. While charging, Link cannot hurt them. They are vulnerable to the [[Hookshot]] and can be taken down with one hit.

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 runing 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]]. Everytime Link re-enters the area, the Club Moblin will reappear.

===Oracle of Ages===
=== Oracle of Seasons and Ages===
Both Bulldog, and Pig Moblins appear as enemies within both games.


===Oracle of Seasons===
Both games have Moblins working under [[Great Moblin]], a large pig moblin, within their settings. In addition to being a boss, Great Moblin, and his followers are also portrayed as recurring characters within the story. If a Linked game is started after completion of one game, [[Great Moblin]] will remember Link from their previous in the prior game. For example, if one uses the code given at the end of Oracle Of Ages in the beginning of Oracle of Seasons, Great Moblin will wonder if Link followed him from [[Labrynna]] to [[Holodrum]].


===Four Swords===
A [[Moblin Ring]] also exists to turn Link into a green Bulldog Moblin. Doing so prevents Link from doing any action but moving, but prevents him from being engulfed by [[Like Like]]s, or slipping on Ice.
 
====Oracle of Seasons====
Moblins work under [[Great Moblin]], and extort rupees from travelers who pass through Great Moblin's keep to get to [[Sunken City]]. Link can best the Great Moblin in combat, and destroy the fortress for a [[Piece of Heart]], in which case the Great Moblin, and his followers can be found in [[Sunken City]], forced to sell bombs.
 
Link can light the Moblins stash of bombs, and leave, causing the house to blow up, and the moblins to flee. With the house being rebuilt in a shoddier state, Link can repeat this one more time, but by the third time, Great Moblin will catch him in the act, and the moblins punish him by leaving him in the exploding house, resulting in a gameover.
 
Great Moblin's followers can also be found in various places. Moblins caught [[Dimitri]] in [[Spool Swamp]], and will sell him to Link for 80 rupees. Later, again in Spool Swamp, some moblins will be attempting to buy a [[Spring Banana]] from [[Moosh]], once Moosh eats the Banana, combat starts, and Link assists in making the moblins retreat.
 
In a Linked Game continuing from Ages, a visiting [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]] will be waylaid from Great Moblin, and his followers in [[North Horon]], who attempt to steal her jewelry, and rupees. Link defeats Great Moblin yet again, forcing him, and his servants to flee.
 
A Friendly Pig Moblin may be found offering to tell Link the secret of the [[Tokay]] people in Labyrynna. 
 
====Oracle of Ages====
[[Great Moblin]] has built a fortress in [[Rolling Ridge]], and has walled off the [[Goron]]s from obtaining [[Bomb Flower]]s so his own bomb making business will have no competition. Link destroy the fortress sending Great Moblin, and his followers, obtaining a special bombflower required to beat the game.
 
In a linked game, the Tokay secret given by the Moblin in Holodrum can be used to obtain a bigger bomb bag from the Tokay at the museum in reward for knowing their secret.


===The Wind Waker===
===The Wind Waker===
Moblins appear most notably inside the [[Forsaken Fortress]] as guards. The first time Link enters the fortress, he is without a sword. Due to this, if a Moblin catches him, they will throw him in prison should they see him. They aren't the brightest of enemies and can be easily fooled by hiding beneath a barrel. The second time through the Moblins won't be frightened to attack the young hero with their spears. Moblin Spears are among the weapons that Link can use to fight with.

Moblins also appear in [[Hyrule Castle]] frozen in time before Link draws the [[Master Sword]]. After doing so, they will begin to patrol the castle and attack Link.

They drop [[Joy Pendant]]s upon defeat for the [[Spoils Bag]], which are collectible items for a side quest in the game.

===Four Swords===
Pig Moblins identical to the ones in Wind Waker work under [[Vaati]].


===The Minish Cap===
===The Minish Cap===
Despite being made in Ganon's image, Ganon does not appear in the ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]''. This makes the Moblins' appearance in the game peculiar. They appear partway through the game and frequent the overworld. Two variants appear, Spear Moblins and Bow Moblins. Spear Moblins will charge at Link, and Bow Moblins will fire arrows. They can be easily defeated by stunning them with the [[Boomerang]] and then slashing them with Link's sword.
Similar to Link's Awakening, Ganon does not appear in the ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]''. It is established some moblins were among the monsters sealed within the Minish cap chest. They are released by Vaati, and seem to be used by him as troops.

=== Spirit Tracks ===
While Moblins themselves don't appear in Spirit Tracks, the subspecies [[Big Blin]]s are identical to the Bulldog Moblins, specifically the [[Club Moblin]] from Ocarina of Time. This is the first appearance of Bulldog Moblins in the Great Sea era, showing they still exist.


===Skyward Sword===
===Skyward Sword===
Moblins return in ''Skyward Sword'' and their appearance has changed quite a bit. Now they are fat, red, and are bigger than Link himself. These Moblins hold a wooden or metal square-shaped shield. The wooden varient's shield can be cut into very small pieces leaving the Moblin vulnerable to [[sword]] attacks. Also, Link can dash into the shield causing him to jump over the Moblin, enabling him to slash away at his behind. Moblins are a very common enemy when revisiting [[Faron Woods]] and drop a lot of rupees.

Link can use his sword to chop the Moblin's Shield into small pieces. When its shield is too small, The Moblin will throw it away and begin to fight without a shield. Now, slash away at its big red belly until the Moblin goes down. Alternatively, Link can dash straight at the Moblin, which will cause Link to jump over and attack from its rear.

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 the player 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.

===Breath of the Wild===
[[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.
