{{Plural|TWWHD|Bokoblin}} are prevalent in {{TWW}}. They have snouts, arrow-shaped tails, three fingers and a single horn. {{Plural|TWWHD|Bokoblin}} come in three variants: Blue, Green, and Pink. The most common is the blue-skinned, {{Term|TWWHD|Boko Stick|link}}-wielding combat form. Green-skinned elites carry {{Plural|TWWHD|Machete|link}} and wooden {{Plural|TWWHD|Shield|link}}. Pink {{Plural|TWWHD|Bokoblin}} carry {{Plural|TWWHD|Telescope|link}}, which they use to scan their surroundings and to attack. Unarmed {{Plural|TWWHD|Bokoblin}} will combat {{Term|TWWHD|Link|link}} hand-to-hand until they can find an available weapon. They can wield any kind of {{Term|TWWHD|Enemy Weapon|link}} as needed. They are even strong enough to wield {{Plural|TWWHD|Weapon}} such as {{Plural|TWWHD|Moblin Spear|link}} and {{Plural|TWWHD|Darknut Sword|link}} with one arm.{{Verify|TWWHD}} The attack power remains the same, however.{{Clarify|reason= What remains the same? The attack power of the Bokoblin, or that of the Darknut Sword?|TWWHD}}
 
{{Plural|TWWHD|Bokoblin}} are more intelligent than their {{Term|TWWHD|Moblin}} counterparts. {{Plural|TWWHD|Blue Bokoblin}} man the {{Plural|TWWHD|Searchlight|link}} in the {{Term|TWWHD|Forsaken Fortress|link}}, demonstrating an understanding of machinery. Pink {{Plural|TWWHD|Bokoblin}} act as scouts on the {{Term|TWWHD|Great Sea|link}}. They use their telescopes to scan the sea from {{Plural|TWWHD|Lookout Platform|link}} and rafts tied to {{Plural|TWWHD|Submarine|link}}. {{Plural|TWWHD|Bokoblin}} also recognize the danger of {{Plural|TWWHD|Bomb|link}} and will run away if {{Term|TWWHD|Link}} pulls one out. One {{Term|TWWHD|Green Bokoblin|link}} in {{Term|TWWHD|Forsaken Fortress}} serves as the first {{Term|TWWHD|Sub-Boss|link}} of the game. It guards {{Term|TWWHD|Link}}'s {{Term|TWWHD|Sword|link}} which he dropped entering the fortress.
 
{{Plural|TWWHD|Bokoblin}} attack by swiping their {{Plural|TWWHD|Weapon}} at {{Term|TWWHD|Link}}. Occasionally, {{Plural|TWWHD|Bokoblin}} will jump back and attempt to swing their {{Plural|TWWHD|Weapon}} at {{Term|TWWHD|Link}}, which can send the young hero flying backwards if they make contact. {{Plural|TWWHD|Green Bokoblin}} are a little more versatile as they are able to defend themselves with their {{Plural|TWWHD|Shield|link}}. However, they are not particularly tough {{Plural|TWWHD|Enemy}} and can be defeated by most conventional {{Plural|TWWHD|Item|link}} in the game, especially {{Term|TWWHD|Link}}'s {{Term|TWWHD|Sword}}. If they are knocked back, they may drop their {{Plural|TWWHD|Weapon}}, which {{Term|TWWHD|Link}} can use against them. Unarmed {{Plural|TWWHD|Bokoblin}} will resort to jumping and kicking at {{Term|TWWHD|Link}} to hurt him. {{Plural|TWWHD|Bokoblin}}, even the seafaring pink ones, cannot swim. Sometimes, when walking on a bridge, {{Plural|TWWHD|Bokoblin}} lose their balance and nearly fall, but manage to hang onto the edge. When this happens, a single hit of the {{Term|TWWHD|Sword}} or some other {{Term|TWWHD|Weapon}} causes the {{Term|TWWHD|Bokoblin}} to fall and drown.
 
All {{Plural|TWWHD|Bokoblin}} carry one {{Term|TWWHD|Joy Pendant|link}}, which may be dropped after they are defeated. These are easily {{Term|TWWHD|Thievery|link|display=stolen}} using the {{Term|TWWHD|Grappling Hook|link}}.
 
==={{TP|-}}===
In {{TP}}, {{Plural|TPHD|Bokoblin}} take on a more humanoid form resembling goblins, having long, curved ears, small, green eyes, a longer body and arms with short legs, white locks of hair that are put up in a bun, and simple pants and shoes. They are common in the southern and parts of the eastern areas of {{Term|TPHD|Hyrule Field|link}}, and are prominent in {{Term|TPHD|Faron Woods|link}}, but are driven out by {{Term|TPHD|Link}} as he is traversing the {{Term|TPHD|Forest Temple|link}}. They come in a blue-skinned variant, which carry a wooden club, and, later in the game, a stronger and more durable purple variant that wield {{Plural|TPHD|Sword|link}}.
 
Upon spotting or hearing Link, they will rush at and swing their weapon at him. They are easily able to be felled with most weapons, most notably with any of Link's Swords, though the purple variants are able to withstand more damage before defeat.
 
While notably more primitive than their other appearances, {{Plural|TPHD|Bokoblin}} in {{TP|-}} are capable of socializing with other Bokoblins, which can be observed in areas where there are at least two individuals such as along the path to the {{Term|TPHD|Forest Temple}} in Faron Woods. Additionally, when one individual is defeated when another is close by, the surviving Bokoblin will watch their fallen comrade explode before unleashing an enraged screech at Link and resuming its assault.

{{Plural|SSHD|Red Bokoblin}} appear as a common type of {{Term|SSHD|Enemy}} in {{SS}}, appearing in many places throughout the {{Term|SSHD|Surface|link}}. Their appearance resembles that of a Japanese ''{{Wp|Oni (folklore)|Oni}}'' more so than their previous incarnations. {{Plural|SSHD|Red Bokoblin}} have floppy ears as opposed to pointy ones, and noses instead of snouts. They are much bigger and stouter than previous {{Plural|Series|Bokoblin}} (slightly larger than {{Term|SSHD|Link|link}} himself), and have an extra edge of difficulty. They can block attacks with their {{Plural|SSHD|Weapon}}, and in order to defeat them, {{Term|SSHD|Link}} must slash around the {{Term|SSHD|Weapon}}. {{Plural|SSHD|Red Bokoblin (Archer)|link}} are also able to wield {{Plural|SSHD|Bow|link}}, while {{Plural|SSHD|Red Bokoblin (Leader)|link}} may carry a {{Term|SSHD|Monster Horn|link}} with which they can summon more {{Plural|SSHD|Red Bokoblin}}. This {{Term|SSHD|Monster Horn}} can be retrieved using the {{Term|SSHD|Whip|link}}. In addition to the {{Term|SSHD|Monster Horn}}, {{Plural|SSHD|Red Bokoblin}} may sometimes drop {{Plural|SSHD|Ornamental Skull|link}} or {{Plural|SSHD|Golden Skull|link}} as {{Plural|SSHD|Treasure|link}} when defeated. {{Plural|SSHD|Red Bokoblin}} also have the ability to balance on tightropes, but will fall off if {{Term|SSHD|Link}} shakes the rope they are on or if they are hit with a projectile or the {{Term|SSHD|Beetle (Item)|link}}. Most {{Plural|SSHD|Red Bokoblin}} are afraid of the {{Term|SSHD|Beetle (Item)}} and will run away; {{Plural|SSHD|Red Bokoblin (Archer)}} with {{Plural|SSHD|Bow}} will shoot it at first sight.
 
The {{Plural|SSHD|Red Bokoblin}} in {{SS|-}} appear to be somewhat more intelligent and sociable than their past incarnations, even establishing small {{Plural|SSHD|Monster Stronghold|link}} while conflicting with the native {{Term|SSHD|Mogma|link}} throughout {{Term|SSHD|Eldin Volcano|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|Grrr... Those creeps just shimmied on in and took over our territory.|Tyto|SSHD}}</ref> They defend these villages with the aid of lookout towers and large boulders, which they can roll downhill to hinder {{Term|SSHD|Link}}.
 
Multiple new variations of {{Term|SSHD|Bokoblin}} make an appearance in {{SS|-}}, such as {{Plural|SSHD|Technoblin|link}} and {{Plural|SSHD|Cursed Bokoblin|link}}. {{Plural|SSHD|Technoblin}} are found in {{Term|SSHD|Lanayru Desert|link}}, and like many other {{Plural|SSHD|Enemy}} in the area, harness {{Term|SSHD|Electricity|link}} to attack. {{Plural|SSHD|Cursed Bokoblin}} are zombies, and can only be found in the depths of the {{Term|SSHD|Ancient Cistern|link}} and the room in the {{Term|SSHD|Sky Keep|link}} that represents the former {{Term|SSHD|Dungeon|link}}. While these {{Plural|SSHD|Bokoblin}} do not wield {{Plural|SSHD|Weapon}}, they are extremely resilient and can withstand much more damage than their living counterparts. Later in the game, {{Plural|SSHD|Blue Bokoblin}} replace ordinary {{Plural|SSHD|Bokoblin}} as a more durable enemy, taking more hits to defeat. The {{Term|SSHD|Blue Bokoblin}} also has a new tactic of attack, similar to {{Term|SSHD|Link}}'s {{Term|SSHD|Jump Attack|link}}. {{Plural|SSHD|Green Bokoblin}} are the {{Term|SSHD|Dungeon}} and cave variant of {{Plural|SSHD|Bokoblin}}, wearing a skull helmet and wielding a stone club. Their skin slowly began to turn into a shade of green due to their sun-deficient lifestyle.<ref>{{Cite|This variety of Bokoblin enjoys dark places, such as caves. Its sunlight-deficient lifestyle has turned its skin a stomach-turning shade of green.|Fi|SS}}</ref>
 
After the "{{Term|SSHD|Song of the Hero|link}}" quest is completed, most of the various types of {{Plural|SSHD|Bokoblin}} and {{Plural|SSHD|Moblin}} disappear from the overworld completely, leaving {{Term|SSHD|Eldin Volcano}} and {{Term|SSHD|Faron Woods}} devoid of their presence, most likely leaving the woodlands due to the massive flooding caused by {{Term|SSHD|Faron (Dragon)|link}}, the {{Term|SSHD|Water Dragon}}. During the {{Term|SSHD|Horde Battle|link}}, all varieties of {{Plural|SSHD|Bokoblin}} either have significantly increased skills or numbers, even wielding {{Plural|SSHD|Bomb|link}}. However, {{Plural|SSHD|Ornamental Skull}} and {{Plural|SSHD|Golden Skull}} will not appear after {{Term|SSHD|Link}} defeats a {{Term|SSHD|Bokoblin}} during the {{Term|SSHD|Horde Battle}}.
 
According to {{Term|SSHD|Fi|link}}, they are obsessed with their ideal of fashion, particularly their unusual leopard-print underwear, which can be seen best if {{Term|SSHD|Link}} performs a {{Term|SSHD|Fatal Blow|link}} on one.<ref>{{Cite|None of them are intelligent by any definition of the word. Curiously, they seem to have a mysterious obsession with fashionable undergarments.|Fi|SSHD}}</ref> This is likely a reference to an Oni's tendency to wear tiger-print loincloths in Japanese folklore.
 
==={{BotW|-}}===
{{Compendium/Extract|Bokoblin}}
{{Plural|BotW|Bokoblin}} appear as common {{Plural|BotW|Enemy|link}} in {{BotW}}, often encountered in primitive {{Plural|BotW|Monster Stronghold|link}}. They can be found resting inside their camps at night and hunting {{Plural|BotW|Boar|link}} during the day. {{Plural|BotW|Monster Stronghold}} are often guarded by {{Plural|BotW|Bokoblin}} on small watchtowers. If one of these {{Plural|BotW|Bokoblin}} spots {{Term|BotW|Link|link}}, they will sound their horn, alerting the other {{Plural|BotW|Enemy}} to {{Term|BotW|Link}}'s presence. There are many varieties of {{Plural|BotW|Bokoblin}}, including the standard red {{Term|BotW|Bokoblin}}, {{Plural|BotW|Blue Bokoblin|link}}, {{Plural|BotW|Black Bokoblin|link}}, {{Plural|BotW|Silver Bokoblin|link}}, and in {{Term|BotW|Master Mode|link}}, {{Plural|BotW|Golden Bokoblin|link}}. {{Plural|BotW|Bokoblin}} often carry weapons of the {{Term|BotW|Bokoblin Gear|link}} equipment archetype, such as the {{Plural|BotW|Boko Club|link}}, {{Plural|BotW|Boko Bat|link}}, {{Plural|BotW|Boko Spear|link}} and {{Plural|BotW|Boko Bow|link}}. Stronger {{Plural|BotW|Bokoblin}} are often equipped with Spiked and Dragonbone versions of this gear, alongside {{Plural|BotW|Soldier's Broadsword|link}}, {{Plural|BotW|Knight's Broadsword|link}} and {{Plural|BotW|Royal Broadsword|link}} at higher tiers. {{Plural|BotW|Bokoblin}} that lack {{Plural|BotW|Weapon|link}} will either swipe at {{Term|BotW|Link}} if he is nearby or dig up rocks to throw at him in lieu of any objects in the vicinity. If there are any large rocks, {{Plural|BotW|Barrel|link}}, or {{Plural|BotW|Bomb Barrel|link}}, {{Plural|BotW|Bokoblin}} will attempt to pick them up and hurl them at {{Term|BotW|Link}}. When equipped with a wooden melee {{Term|BotW|Weapon|link}} while near a source of fire, they will ignite their {{Term|BotW|Weapon}} to burn {{Term|BotW|Link}} with it. At night, {{Plural|BotW|Bokoblin}} will sleep on the ground face-up as bubbles rise from their nostrils. When defeated, {{Plural|BotW|Bokoblin}} may drop {{Plural|BotW|Bokoblin Fang|link}}, {{Plural|BotW|Bokoblin Horn|link}}, and {{Plural|BotW|Bokoblin Guts|link}}. Bokoblins cannot swim and will drown if forced into deep water.
 
{{Plural|BotW|Bokoblin}} will occasionally be found riding {{Plural|BotW|Horse|link}}. If dismounted by an attack, they will attempt to climb back on their mount. {{Plural|BotW|Bokoblin}} in the {{Term|BotW|Gerudo Highlands|link}} may instead ride {{Plural|BotW|Honeyvore Bear|link}} and {{Plural|BotW|Grizzlemaw Bear|link}}.     
 
Sometimes, {{Plural|BotW|Bokoblin}} can be seen attacking travelers. Some travelers may also be knocked out by a Bokoblin. If {{Term|BotW|Link}} helps to defeat the Bokoblin(s), they may grant Link a reward. However, some travelers who are knocked out may be {{Term|BotW|Yiga Clan|link}} members.
 
The skeletal remains of {{Plural|BotW|Bokoblin}}, known as {{Plural|BotW|Stalkoblin|link}}, will rise out of the ground during the night. They behave similarly to living {{Plural|BotW|Bokoblin}}, while also possessing undead qualities. They may be found riding {{Plural|BotW|Stalhorse|link}} in lieu of living steeds.

{{Plural|TotK|Bokoblin}} appear as {{Plural|TotK|Enemy}} in {{TotK}}. Bokoblins can now wear crudely made {{Plural|TotK|Rock Armor|link}}, which resists most attacks but can be destroyed by explosions or weapons fused with hard objects. They also now have longer horns on their heads that resemble daggers, similar to the skull-like protrusions that the [[Moblin]]s now have. If unarmed, they will use their horns as weapons by headbutting or ramming Link.
 
==Other Appearances==
==={{HW|-}}===
{{Noncanon|Start}}
{{Plural|HWDE|Bokoblin}} appear based on their red {{SS|-}} incarnation in {{HW}}. Their role are weak infantry troops, appearing in large numbers but are easily defeated. They mainly serve as the soldiers of the {{Plural|HWDE|Dark Force|link}}. As with other infantry troops, they also have a {{Term|HWDE|Captain (Hyrule Warriors)|link}}, Shield, Artillery and {{Term|HWDE|Summoner|link}} counterparts. In {{Term|HWDE|Legend Mode|link}}, they appear in "{{Term|HWDE|The Armies of Ruin|link}}", "{{Term|HWDE|The Sorceress of the Valley|link}}", "{{Term|HWDE|Land in the Sky|link}}", "{{Term|HWDE|Sealed Ambition|link}}", and "{{Term|HWDE|The Sacred Sword|link}}". In "{{Term|HWDE|The Armies of Ruins}}", a small group of {{Plural|HWDE|Bokoblin}} drops boulders in front of the {{Term|HWDE|Mine Entrance|link}}, attempting to trap {{Term|HWDE|Link}} inside.


==''The Wind Waker''==
Most {{Plural|HWDE|Bokoblin}} are regular foot soldiers that carry large blades. Artillery troops also occasionally appear in smaller groups and fight by shooting {{Plural|HWDE|Arrow|link}}. {{Plural|HWDE|Summoner Bokoblin}} also appear as an uncommon variant that summons reinforcements, and wear skull masks and carry staves. Unit troops are led by {{Plural|HWDE|Bokoblin Captain}}, which wear helmets and carry metal shields. The same type of {{Term|HWDE|Captain (Hyrule Warriors)}} also appears as a variant that guards {{Plural|HWDE|Keep|link}} and {{Plural|HWDE|Outpost|link}}. {{Plural|HWDE|Bokoblin Captain}} occasionally drop {{Plural|HWDE|Old Rag|link}} when defeated.


[[Image:Bokoblin.jpg|left|frame|Bokoblin as seen in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'']]
As one of {{Term|HWDE|Ghirahim}}'s attacks with the {{Term|HWDE|Demon Blade|link}}, he can summon a small group of {{Plural|HWDE|Bokoblin}} to charge forward.
{{Noncanon|End}}


Bokoblins are very common in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', the most often seen variant being the blue-skinned, Boko stick-wielding, combat form, though they can wield any weapon with ease. Green Elites can carry shields for extra defense. They are also capable of great feats of strength, being able to wield weapons such as Pikes and [[Darknut]] Swords with one arm without any hindrance. The attack power remains the same, however. Unlike Moblins, Bokoblins have more bat-like faces, and come in three different variants:

Bokoblins, in any form, always carry [[Joy Pendant]]s. They are easily stolen by the [[Grappling Hook]]. They are also much more intelligent than their Moblin counterparts. They are scared of bombs and will run away, if Link pulls one out. Ironically, Bokoblins cannot swim, even though they frequently appear on rafts and submarines. Sometimes, when walking on a bridge, Bokoblins lose their balance and nearly fall, but manage to hang on on the bridge. When this happens, a single hit of a sword or some other weapon will cause the Bokoblin to fall and die.

{{Plural|CoH|Bokoblin}} appear as enemies in {{CoH}}.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', they are just as short, and are much less intelligent. They are more common in the Southern and parts of the Eastern areas of Hyrule Field, and are prominent in [[Faron Woods]] at the beginning of the game, but are driven out by [[Link]] as he is traversing the [[Forest Temple]]. They are more imp-like in appearance than their ''The Wind Waker'' counterparts. They are first encountered in their blue-skinned variant, which carries a small stick and is easily felled. Later, they will appear purple, and wield swords. Purple Bokoblins are surprisingly resilient, taking very much abuse before death. They share their blue counterpart's mental drawbacks, however. It is possible that the two colors of the Bokoblin could indicate different genders, however this is merely speculation.

Bokoblins in ''Twilight Princess'' are not to be confused with [[Bulblin]]s. They are not completely brainless, as shown in the beginning of ''Twilight Princess'': two can be seen talking with one another in an area of Faron, and somewhere near the forest temple path.

{{Nomenclature}}


A shadow version of the Bokoblin can be found in certain areas where the world is covered in Twilight. Wolf Link encounters his first shadow Bokoblin when he first enters into the Kakariko Gorge area of [[Hyrule Field]]. Theses shadow Bokoblins behave identically to the standard Bokoblin and the only difference between the two is the visual appearance.

A Bokoblin! Get ahold of yourself and get him! The Tingle Bomb might work too!

Bokoblins are prevalent in The Wind Waker. They have snouts, arrow-shaped tails, three fingers and a single horn. Bokoblins come in three variants: Blue, Green, and Pink. The most common is the blue-skinned, Boko Stick-wielding combat form. Green-skinned elites carry Machete and wooden Shields. Pink Bokoblins carry Telescopes, which they use to scan their surroundings and to attack. Unarmed Bokoblins will combat Link hand-to-hand until they can find an available weapon. They can wield any kind of Enemy Weapon as needed. They are even strong enough to wield Weapons such as Moblin Spears and Darknut Sword with one arm.[verification needed] The attack power remains the same, however.[clarification needed]

Bokoblins are more intelligent than their Moblin counterparts. Blue Bokoblins man the Searchlights in the Forsaken Fortress, demonstrating an understanding of machinery. Pink Bokoblins act as scouts on the Great Sea. They use their telescopes to scan the sea from Lookout Platforms and rafts tied to Submarines. Bokoblins also recognize the danger of Bombs and will run away if Link pulls one out. One Green Bokoblin in Forsaken Fortress serves as the first Miniboss of the game. It guards Link's Sword which he dropped entering the fortress.

Bokoblins attack by swiping their Weapons at Link. Occasionally, Bokoblins will jump back and attempt to swing their Weapons at Link, which can send the young hero flying backwards if they make contact. Green Bokoblins are a little more versatile as they are able to defend themselves with their Shields. However, they are not particularly tough Enemies and can be defeated by most conventional Items in the game, especially Link's Sword. If they are knocked back, they may drop their Weapons, which Link can use against them. Unarmed Bokoblins will resort to jumping and kicking at Link to hurt him. Bokoblins, even the seafaring pink ones, cannot swim. Sometimes, when walking on a bridge, Bokoblins lose their balance and nearly fall, but manage to hang onto the edge. When this happens, a single hit of the Sword or some other Weapon causes the Bokoblin to fall and drown.

All Bokoblins carry one Joy Pendant, which may be dropped after they are defeated. These are easily stolen using the Grappling Hook.

Twilight Princess

In Twilight Princess, Bokoblins take on a more humanoid form resembling goblins, having long, curved ears, small, green eyes, a longer body and arms with short legs, white locks of hair that are put up in a bun, and simple pants and shoes. They are common in the southern and parts of the eastern areas of Hyrule Field, and are prominent in Faron Woods, but are driven out by Link as he is traversing the Forest Temple. They come in a blue-skinned variant, which carry a wooden club, and, later in the game, a stronger and more durable purple variant that wield Swords.

Upon spotting or hearing Link, they will rush at and swing their weapon at him. They are easily able to be felled with most weapons, most notably with any of Link's Swords, though the purple variants are able to withstand more damage before defeat.

While notably more primitive than their other appearances, Bokoblins in Twilight Princess are capable of socializing with other Bokoblins, which can be observed in areas where there are at least two individuals such as along the path to the Forest Temple in Faron Woods. Additionally, when one individual is defeated when another is close by, the surviving Bokoblin will watch their fallen comrade explode before unleashing an enraged screech at Link and resuming its assault.

Fi's Commentshide ▲
Fi says:

Target lock: Red Bokoblin

These monsters have plagued the land since ancient times. They each play different roles, and their weaponry varies. They prefer to act in groups.

None of them are intelligent by any definition of the word. Curiously, they seem to have a mysterious obsession with fashionable undergarments.

Leader

Target lock: Red Bokoblin (Leader)

As a symbol of its leadership, this creature wraps a cloth around its head. This visually communicates that it is more dominant than other Bokoblins.
It can call its underlings to arms using its horn.

Red Bokoblins appear as a common type of Enemy in Skyward Sword, appearing in many places throughout the Surface. Their appearance resembles that of a Japanese Oni more so than their previous incarnations. Red Bokoblins have floppy ears as opposed to pointy ones, and noses instead of snouts. They are much bigger and stouter than previous Bokoblins (slightly larger than Link himself), and have an extra edge of difficulty. They can block attacks with their Weapons, and in order to defeat them, Link must slash around the Weapon. Red Bokoblins (Archer) are also able to wield Bows, while Red Bokoblin (Leader) may carry a Monster Horn with which they can summon more Red Bokoblins. This Monster Horn can be retrieved using the Whip. In addition to the Monster Horn, Red Bokoblins may sometimes drop Ornamental Skulls or Golden Skulls as Treasures when defeated. Red Bokoblins also have the ability to balance on tightropes, but will fall off if Link shakes the rope they are on or if they are hit with a projectile or the Beetle. Most Red Bokoblins are afraid of the Beetle and will run away; Red Bokoblins (Archer) with Bows will shoot it at first sight.

The Red Bokoblins in Skyward Sword appear to be somewhat more intelligent and sociable than their past incarnations, even establishing small Monster Strongholds while conflicting with the native Mogma throughout Eldin Volcano.[6] They defend these villages with the aid of lookout towers and large boulders, which they can roll downhill to hinder Link.

Multiple new variations of Bokoblin make an appearance in Skyward Sword, such as Technoblins and Cursed Bokoblins. Technoblins are found in Lanayru Desert, and like many other Enemies in the area, harness Electricity to attack. Cursed Bokoblins are zombies, and can only be found in the depths of the Ancient Cistern and the room in the Sky Keep that represents the former Dungeon. While these Bokoblins do not wield Weapons, they are extremely resilient and can withstand much more damage than their living counterparts. Later in the game, Blue Bokoblins replace ordinary Bokoblins as a more durable enemy, taking more hits to defeat. The Blue Bokoblin also has a new tactic of attack, similar to Link's Jump Slash. Green Bokoblins are the Dungeon and cave variant of Bokoblins, wearing a skull helmet and wielding a stone club. Their skin slowly began to turn into a shade of green due to their sun-deficient lifestyle.[7]

After the "Song of the Hero" quest is completed, most of the various types of Bokoblins and Moblins disappear from the overworld completely, leaving Eldin Volcano and Faron Woods devoid of their presence, most likely leaving the woodlands due to the massive flooding caused by Faron, the Faron. During the Horde Battle, all varieties of Bokoblins either have significantly increased skills or numbers, even wielding Bombs. However, Ornamental Skulls and Golden Skulls will not appear after Link defeats a Bokoblin during the Horde Battle.

According to Fi, they are obsessed with their ideal of fashion, particularly their unusual leopard-print underwear, which can be seen best if Link performs a Fatal Blow on one.[8] This is likely a reference to an Oni's tendency to wear tiger-print loincloths in Japanese folklore.

Breath of the Wild

Hyrule Compendium Entry
103 (104) Bokoblin
Description
This common species is a nuisance all over Hyrule. Some have unified in the time following the Great Calamity and have formed factions of bandits. While not very clever, they are at least intelligent enough to hunt beasts and grill the meat for food. Though they're typically ferocious carnivores, they actually enjoy fruit as well.

Bokoblins appear as common Enemies in Breath of the Wild, often encountered in primitive Monster Strongholds. They can be found resting inside their camps at night and hunting Boars during the day. Monster Strongholds are often guarded by Bokoblins on small watchtowers. If one of these Bokoblins spots Link, they will sound their horn, alerting the other Enemies to Link's presence. There are many varieties of Bokoblins, including the standard red Bokoblin, Blue Bokoblins, Black Bokoblins, Silver Bokoblins, and in Master Mode, Golden Bokoblins. Bokoblins often carry weapons of the Bokoblin Gear equipment archetype, such as the Boko Clubs, Boko Bats, Boko Spears and Boko Bows. Stronger Bokoblins are often equipped with Spiked and Dragonbone versions of this gear, alongside Soldier's Broadswords, Knight's Broadswords and Royal Broadswords at higher tiers. Bokoblins that lack Weapons will either swipe at Link if he is nearby or dig up rocks to throw at him in lieu of any objects in the vicinity. If there are any large rocks, Barrels, or Bomb Barrels, Bokoblins will attempt to pick them up and hurl them at Link. When equipped with a wooden melee Weapon while near a source of fire, they will ignite their Weapon to burn Link with it. At night, Bokoblins will sleep on the ground face-up as bubbles rise from their nostrils. When defeated, Bokoblins may drop Bokoblin Fangs, Bokoblin Horns, and Bokoblin Guts. Bokoblins cannot swim and will drown if forced into deep water.

Bokoblins will occasionally be found riding Horses. If dismounted by an attack, they will attempt to climb back on their mount. Bokoblins in the Gerudo Highlands may instead ride Honeyvore Bears and Grizzlemaw Bears.

Sometimes, Bokoblins can be seen attacking travelers. Some travelers may also be knocked out by a Bokoblin. If Link helps to defeat the Bokoblin(s), they may grant Link a reward. However, some travelers who are knocked out may be Yiga Clan members.

The skeletal remains of Bokoblins, known as Stalkoblins, will rise out of the ground during the night. They behave similarly to living Bokoblins, while also possessing undead qualities. They may be found riding Stalhorses in lieu of living steeds.

Tears of the Kingdom

Bokoblins appear as Enemies in Tears of the Kingdom. Bokoblins can now wear crudely made Rock Armors, which resists most attacks but can be destroyed by explosions or weapons fused with hard objects. They also now have longer horns on their heads that resemble daggers, similar to the skull-like protrusions that the Moblins now have. If unarmed, they will use their horns as weapons by headbutting or ramming Link.

Other Appearances

Hyrule Warriors

Non-Canon Information

Bokoblins appear based on their red Skyward Sword incarnation in Hyrule Warriors. Their role are weak infantry troops, appearing in large numbers but are easily defeated. They mainly serve as the soldiers of the Dark Force. As with other infantry troops, they also have a Captain, Shield, Artillery and Summoner counterparts. In Legend Mode, they appear in "The Armies of Ruin", "The Sorceress of the Valley", "Land in the Sky", "Sealed Ambition", and "The Sacred Sword". In "The Armies of Ruins", a small group of Bokoblins drops boulders in front of the Mine Entrance, attempting to trap Link inside.

Most Bokoblins are regular foot soldiers that carry large blades. Artillery troops also occasionally appear in smaller groups and fight by shooting Arrows. Summoner Bokoblin also appear as an uncommon variant that summons reinforcements, and wear skull masks and carry staves. Unit troops are led by Bokoblin Captains, which wear helmets and carry metal shields. The same type of Captain also appears as a variant that guards Keeps and Outposts. Bokoblin Captains occasionally drop Old Rags when defeated.

As one of Ghirahim's attacks with the Demon Blade, he can summon a small group of Bokoblins to charge forward.

Cadence of Hyrule

Ambiguously Canon Information

Bokoblins appear as enemies in Cadence of Hyrule. They behave like the skeleton enemies in Crypt of the NecroDancer, moving onto an adjacent tile on every other beat of the music in pursuit of Cadence, Link, Yves, or Zelda. Before moving, they put their arms up for one beat before moving on the following beat.[9]

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity

Non-Canon Information
This section of the page is incomplete. You can help Zelda Wiki by expanding it.

In Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, Bokoblins are divided into various sizes that dictate their role; small Bokoblins act as standard troops and large Bokoblins act as Captains. Bokoblins captains can use different Weapons giving them different attacks. All Bokoblins are shown to have a ranged attack via throwing their Weapons and then procuring a duplicate, as well as charge en masse with their Boko Spears.
