In ''The Legend of Zelda'', Bulldoggish Moblins appear in two varieties, ''orange'' and ''blue''. The only difference between the two, is that the ''orange'' one requires two hits to defeat, while the ''blue'' one requires three (with the [[Sword (The Legend of Zelda)|original Sword]]). They attack by running into [[Link]], and on occasion, shoot [[Arrow]]s. | In ''The Legend of Zelda'', Bulldoggish Moblins appear in two varieties, ''orange'' and ''blue''.

Despite their ability to use a projectile weapon, it isn't much of a threat at all.

More dangerous than that if the Moblin simply makes contact with Link while walking around, it will deal two full hearts of damage. | Despite their ability to use a projectile weapon, it isn't much of a threat at all.

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]].

For example, if one uses the code given at the end of ''Oracle of Ages'' in the beginning of ''Oracle of Seasons'', Great Moblin will wonder if Link followed him from [[Labrynna]] to [[Holodrum]]. | ||
A [[Moblin Ring]] also exists to turn Link into a green Bulldog Moblin. Doing so prevents Link from doing any action but moving, but prevents him from being engulfed by [[Like Like]]s, or slipping on Ice. | A [[Moblin Ring]] also exists to turn Link into a green Bulldog Moblin.

Pig-like Moblins appear most notably inside the [[Forsaken Fortress]] as guards. The first time Link enters the fortress, he is without a sword. Due to this, if a Moblin catches him, they will throw him in prison should they see him. They aren't the brightest of enemies and can be easily fooled by hiding beneath a barrel. The second time through the Moblins won't be frightened to attack the young hero with their spears.

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.

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. | |||

===Blue Moblin=== | |||
{{main|Blue Moblin}} | |||
A slightly stronger variant of the Red Moblin. Upon death, they drop the two-pronged [[Blue Moblin Horn]] and may drop some [[Moblin Guts]] and [[Moblin Fang]]s. | |||
===Black Moblin=== | |||
{{main|Black Moblin}} | |||
Even more powerful than the Blue variant, these Moblins are usually the leader of their pack. They attack quicker, and carry stronger base unfused and fused weapons, fused with stronger materials such as Spiked Iron Balls. | |||
Upon death, they drop large [[Black Moblin Horn]]s. | |||
===Silver Moblin=== | |||
{{main|Silver Moblin}} | |||
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. | |||
===Stalmoblin=== | |||
{{main|Stalmoblin}} | |||
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 or throws a [[Dazzlefruit]] anywhere in their range. | |||

Moblins wield long spears and will try to attack Zelda with them. There are two different variants of moblins — stationary ones, and others that walk towards Zelda. The stationary moblins will kneel down and toss their spears towards Zelda. If Zelda is above or below the moblin, the spear will be tossed on an angle. The spears can be rather tricky to deflect, but they can in fact be blocked with Zelda's shield. The pattern for these moblins is that they will toss three spears in a row, then there will be a few seconds of gap, and then three more spears will be thrown. During this gap, quickly run up to the moblin and slash at it once with your sword. Some of these stationary moblins will leave red rubies, while others leave green ones, depending on their location.

Walking moblins also wield spears and will simply walk up to Zelda and try to toss the spears at her her. These fellows are quite large targets and one simple sword slash will defeat them. They often will appear in packs, with several of them appearing at once.

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.
