Moblin

MOBLIN

The nature of the original Legend of Zelda meant that there was no set pattern in which one might encounter various enemies, and it could be conceivably possible for a player to have explored the entire overworld before ever entering the dungeons that made up the game’s main levels. Going off of that logic, among the first you might see in the overworld are large pig warriors wielding spears and clubs.

These are the Moblins, Ganon’s primary henchmen throughout this and many other games. Though later games would introduce the Bokoblins, shifting their role from main minion to “bigger, stronger variant of main minion,” they would remain a constant and memorable presence through the series.

In game, they will be big and strong, but a bit on the slow side (except when they are charging at you). Their moves will pull from all across the series, basically everything a Moblin has ever been seen to be capable of.

Likelihood rating: Could happen.
