Goombas appear in side-scrolling areas, predominately in dungeons. Their behavior is largely identical to the Goomba enemies of the ''Mario'' series: they simply move back and forth, turning direction only when they hit an obstacle. They are weak enemies that can be defeated by any manner of attack; however, [[Link]] can also stomp on them from above and flatten them, identically to how these enemies are defeated by jumping on them in the ''Mario'' games. Link can defeat them in this manner by either dropping onto them from a platform above, or by using the [[Roc's Feather]] to jump and land on them. When they are stomped on, a [[Heart]] is guaranteed to drop.

Goombas can be found in Tail Cave, Bottle Grotto, in the underground passage leading to Kanalet Castle, Catfish's Maw, Face Shrine, and Turtle Rock. While Goombas appear mostly in side-scrolling areas, they also appear in top-down locations in Eagle's Tower. In these areas they move around randomly.
