One week left, let's go! Today, we'll be covering the Hinox. Prior to Breath of the Wild, they were large, late-game Cyclopes best known for throwing bombs that normally appeared in the 2D games. Breath of the Wild expanded on that, portraying them as gigantic relatives of the Moblins and Bokoblins, that typically hibernated until someone stumbled into their territory.

In this version of the character, they could yank a tree out by its roots to use as a battering weapon, leap into the air and perform a butt bash, roll logs after their foes, and heft and throw both boulders and bomb barrels. Add this to the bombs they already used, I think we've got ourselves a moveset.

Here's the moveset I came up with:


Standard B: Boulder

The Hinox will heft a large boulder and throw it as a heavy projectile that will roll for some distance.


Side B: Uproot

The Hinox will rip a tree out of the ground and swing it around, doing damage on both the uproot and the swing.


Up B: Butt Bash

It will hop into the air a relatively small distance and come back down with a butt bash.


Down B: Bomb

It will toss out one of the bombs it was originally famous for, which will land with its wick straight up and burning down, exploding after a short time.


Final Smash: Giant Hinox

I would say the playable Hinox would be somewhere closer to their 2D sizes, not quite as big as the Breath of the Wild versions, meaning they will grow to Breath of the Wild size and stomp around the stage for a bit.


Entrance: It will be asleep and be jostled awake.


Taunts: Up, the Hinox will cover its exposed eye. Side, the Hinox will look around as if sniffing out prey. Down, the Hinox will plop itself down for a second.


Thanks for reading! Next up, an enemy typically known for being an early game boss.
