{{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.

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.

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.

===Age of Calamity===
Moblins in ''[[Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity|Age of Calamity]]'' are some of the more common mini-bosses, first encountered in [[The Battle of Hyrule Field]] scenario. They are often times accompanied by smaller and weaker enemies, such as a [[Bokoblin]]. Moblin often times appear as the leaders of outposts, of which the warrior must defeat them in order to capture the outpost. Compared to Moblins in ''Breath of the Wild'', these are considerably more difficult to defeat.
They will occasionally drop a [[Moblin Horn]] or [[Moblin Fang]] when defeated. After each Moblin is defeated, the player will receive a [[Moblin Trophy]], which can be used to complete [[Age of Calamity Quests|quests]] or upgrade weapons of the various warriors. Stronger variants and elemental variants of Moblin are very common, with their being [[Blue Moblin]], [[Black Moblin]], [[Silver Moblin]], [[Electric Moblin]], [[Fire Moblin]], [[Ice Moblin]], and [[Stalmoblin]]. The stronger variants appear in later scenarios, with the elemental variants appearing in levels corresponding to their elements.

A Moblin-like enemy appeared in a [[2004]] trailer for ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. In this trailer, the Moblin appears similar to those from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', but with ''Twilight Princess''' darker graphic scheme instead of ''The Wind Waker's'' cartoonish one. They wield a large axe, which looks similar to the one [[King Bulblin]] uses against [[Link]] in the [[Bulblin Fortress]] and [[Hyrule Castle (Twilight Princess)|Hyrule Castle]]. It is unknown why this enemy was not used in the final version of the game.{{Clear}}

* The [[Moblin]]s from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' were actually the first monster to be designed. Because of this, they served as the model upon which the rest of the enemies were based.{{Ref|pg. 159|The Moblins were the first monsters to be designed, and served as the model upon which the rest of the enemies were based.|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia|Hyrule Historia]]''}}

* The porcine design of Moblins in a ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' seems likely to have been done to reflect their allegiance to Ganon.
