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.

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 (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] can find them in various enemy encampments across [[Hyrule]]. | Moblins look extremely different compared to other installments in the series.

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. | They will occasionally drop a [[Moblin Horn]] or [[Moblin Fang]] when defeated.

Moblins return with | Moblins return with an appearance similar to that of ''Breath of the Wild''. The main difference is that each variant comes with their own signature horn, which can be harvested to fuse with weapons and cook with elixirs. [[Link (Breath of the Wild)#Tears of the Kingdom|Link]] can find them in various enemy encampments across [[Hyrule]]. Moblins will often be seen carrying low level unfused and fused weapons, often fused with crude materials such as rocks and mushrooms. | ||
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. Moblins have excellent reach and can knock down Link with a single punch, but have difficulties fending off attacks from close quarters. They also now execute a headbutt attack, where they will slam their horns into the ground in an attempt to crush Link with them. If accompanied by [[Bokoblin]]s but unarmed, and having no weapons within reach, Moblins may grab Bokoblins from where they stand and throw them at Link. Standard Moblins will drop the [[Moblin Horn]] upon defeat. | A good strategy is to use Two-Handed Weapons to knock over the Moblin before it can attack.

These are the most powerful versions of the Moblin in the current game. They are much more aggressive than any other versions, and have faster attacking speed, often throwing rocks and bomb barrels from long distance, and have significantly more health than weaker variants. Upon death, they will drop twisted and barbed [[Silver Moblin Horn]]s, which are excellent for fusing hammer type weapons. | These are the most powerful versions of the Moblin in the current game.

This variant of Moblin only appears at night, and behaves very similarly to creatures such as [[Stalchild]]ren 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. Like other Stal enemies in ''Tears of the Kingdom'', they can also be instantly defeated if Link shoots a [[Dazzlefruit]] anywhere in their range. | This variant of Moblin only appears at night, and behaves very similarly to creatures such as [[Stalchild]]ren from previous games.
