Moblins

Moblins are generally piglike spear-tossers who come in different colors and often reside in forests.

In The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, there was a group of Moblin criminals who had a leader, which was defeated by Link.

In the Oracle games, there is a Great Moblin who rules over all the moblins in the land until Link destroys his palace (Oracle of Ages), his keep (Oracle of Seasons), and his house (Oracle of Seasons). Whichever game is played first, Link's actions drive him out of that land and into the one in the other game. After finishing the first gameand obtaining a password, Link can move on to the other game and resume attacking him.

Many specific types of Moblins exist:

• Spear throwers, who walk around and throw spears at Link, or dash at him with spears. They come in a variety of colors.
• Club Moblins, carrying with giant clubs.
• Pig-men, an off-shoot of the Moblins in Link's Awakening.
• Miniblins, tiny imp-like creatures who seemingly come out of shadows to swarm Link.
• Bokoblins, weak thug-like moblins who often spy with a telescope.

Octorok

Octoroks resemble octopi with forward-facing mouths whose primary attack is to spit rocks at anything that threatens them. These creatures have been featured in every Zelda game since the series' debut on the NES in 1986.

Originally Octoroks were land enemies, their water-based equvalent being the Zora. However, A Link to the Past was the first to feature a friendly, yet a very threatening looking Zora. In Ocarina of Time the Octoroks were officially made water-exclusive enemies and their land-based versions were replaced by the Deku Scrubs who spit nuts at enemies. The Zora evolved in to a friendly, elegant and intelligent species in this game. In Majora's Mask there's also an intelligent community (a kingdom) of Deku Scrubs.

It seems that Octoroks have no chance of ever becoming a friendly race in the Zelda series.

Like Like

Like Likes are an enemy found in various Legend of Zelda games, by Nintendo. They have the ability to suck in something as big as a human and eat various items from them. They especially love shields, considering them a delicacy. Like Likes are generally yellowish in color and dissolve into a puddle when killed. Other times they will just disappear as soon as dead. Like Likes have been found in Hyrule, Koholint Island, Holodrum, and Labrynna.

Dodongo

Dodongos are a race of dinosaur-like creatures. They first appeared as minibosses in the original Legend of Zelda for the Nintendo Entertainment System, accompanied by the famous phrase "DODONGO DISLIKES SMOKE" (a clue to use bombs to destroy them). They have caused all kinds of trouble throughout the series, including pestering the Goron race in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Although there was only one form of triceratops-like Dodongo in the original Legend of Zelda, there are many forms of Dodongo in Ocarina of Time and later: First, there is the baby form, in which the beasts can try to run into the enemy in numbers to subdue it.

There are five types of mature Dodongos:

1. First there are those that breathe fire and are mountain based, they also lash their tail whenever struck by an intruder, hoping to knock away the intruder from behind.

2. Similar to the species above, except they are susceptible to bombs when opening their mouth, stunning them for a few seconds. They are also a bit larger.

3. This species is rarely seen, and can swim in water and even up humongous waterfalls with its powerful muscles. An example of this is the Dodongo Link befriends in The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons.

4. Another rare specimen, called King Dodongo , is the ruler of all Dodongos in Hyrule. He is much larger than any other Dodongo specimen.

5. This species is different from all the rest, on account of the fact that they are snakelike in appearance and have no visible eyes. They can be forced into eating bombs, which eventually causes them to explode from the inside out.

Peahat

The Peahat are a race of helicopter-like enemies. They are vegetable-like in appearance and the "helicopter blades" are probably some sort of hardened mineral tissue that the Peahat developed as a protection to deflect weapons. They are only active in the daytime, but can produce larvae at night if struck. They can be killed in some games when they are resting on the ground, and in other games, the roots must be struck underneath the blades. In The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, peahats are small and fly into Link to attack him with their blades. These can only be killed with projectiles, since the spinning blades act as a shield against your sword. Another way to temporarlly disable their shield is to knock them to the ground with the Deku Leaf then destroying them with your sword. Peahats are also one of the many catagories of enemies that guard Triforce assoicated locations.

Darknuts

Darknuts are thickly armoured, powerful and dangerous yet slow-moving enemies (the exception being Zelda 2 where they moved quite fast) that tend to cause lots of damage and often have to be attacked from behind as it contains their only weakspot.

They first appeared armed with a short/medium-sized sword and a shield. In Ocarina of Time, however, they are armed with large axes and after a chunk of their armour falls off they become much faster but more vulnerable. In Wind Waker they come in many variations, some armed only with large swords and some also carrying shields. These versions can be stripped of their armour through properly placed attacks revealing the creature's face for the first time which seems to be that of a doberman. These Darknuts will still attack even when you knock their weapons from their hands in a form of hand-to-hand combat resembling martial-arts.

Zol

The Zol is a monster found throughout various Legend of Zelda games. Zols come in red and green varities. Green ones die immediately after being hit, but red ones will split into smaller versions of themselves ( called Gels) when hit. Zols can commonly pop out of the ground to surprise intruders.

Anti-fairy

Anti-fairies are known mostly for their appearances in A Link to the Past, although they also appear in The Minish Cap. Anti-fairies were rotating creatures in the game, which moved by spinning four balls around its skull (placed in the center), sticking to walls and moving alongside them. When the player was hit by the Anti-fairy, the player would suffer a loss of health as well as a loss of magic (which was used in the game to execute magical attacks).

The Anti-fairy can also be turned into a fairy if attacked by magical dust.

Dungeon Bosses

Aquamentus

A dragon/unicorn-like boss that has appeared in a few Legend of Zelda games. It attacks in a variety of ways. One, it can shoot fire out of its mouth. Two, it can charge around the room at an extraordinary pace. Finally, it can fly around the room while breathing fire. The beast towers over most humans, and can only be killed if its horn is cut off.

Dodongo

A rhinoceros/dinosaur enemy that appears in the second dungeon of the quest. The easiest way to kill it is to feed it bombs; in fact, the Old Man will give you the hint "Dodongo dislikes smoke." Another way is to stun it with a bomb, then attack with the sword.

Manhandla

A large carniverous plant that speeds around the room whenever a head is taken off. A single hit from a bomb will dispatch it, as well as a few swats from a sword.

Gleeok

A dragon with two, three or four heads that will breathe fire once they are beheaded with the sword or wand.

Digdogger

An orange creature that looks like a buzzsaw, Digdogger hates noise. Playing the Recorder will shrink Digdogger, and it may be destroyed with the sword.

Gohma

A large spider with one eye. That eye is the key to victory as well, since you must fire arrows into the eye to kill Gohma. One direct hit will kill the spider, but the eye must be open for this to work. Gohma moves left and right, but when reaching the center of the room, will move back and forth.

Patra

A swarm of flying eyeballs, which appears as a miniboss in the final dungeon. The swarm consists of a large "queen" at the center, and a ring of smaller "drones". As the queen moves about at random, the drones circle about it, periodically rotating or expanding and contracting. The queen is invulnerable until the drones are all destroyed.

Ganon

The final boss of the first game, the great and powerful wizard is not as hard to defeat as he is to reach. You must have a sword and the Silver Arrows to win the game and restore peace to Hyrule. Since Ganon is normally invisible, the player must guess his location by observing the source of the fireballs he produces. Hitting Ganon with the sword will stun him, rendering him vulnerable to the Silver Arrow. Three hits will finish the game.
