Bokoblins are recurring enemies in the Legend of Zelda series. They are bipedal creatures similar to Moblins, the most common Goblins in the series. Bokoblins typically carry weapons.

A Bokoblin from The Wind Waker
Bokoblins can be found all throughout the Great Sea, notably in areas like Lookout Towers, Submarines, and the Forsaken Fortress. They are shown to be more intelligent than Moblins, enough so that they are capable of operating simple machinery, such as the Forsaken Fortress searchlights. However, they are terrible guards, often sleeping at their posts, and unable to detect Link if he is on the King of Red Lions, even if they are looking directly at him. They appear in blue, green, and pink colors.

Bokoblins use different items as weapons: the blue variety carries Boko Sticks or Machetes, the green carries a wooden shield and a Machete, and the pink type carries a Telescope with a hidden blade. Bokoblins' attack style is straightforward with jump attacks, moving left and right, waiting for a good time to strike. If Link disarms a Bokoblin, it will attempt to fight hand-to-hand.

Bokoblins occasionally drop Joy Pendants when defeated. Alternately, Link can use the Grappling Hook to steal these necklaces from their person, although the green variety can deflect the Grappling Hook with their shields.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Bokoblins are common overworld enemies under control of Ganondorf. There are both blue and red Bokoblins. Blue Bokoblins are weak and relatively easy to defeat, appearing as one of the first enemies Link can encounter. Later on in the game, blue Bokoblins are gradually replaced by red ones, which are much more resilient and can take a massive amount of hits; however, they are still susceptible to Ending Blows, Mortal Draws and Helm Splitters, which can all take them out in one hit. Despite their defensive boosts, Red Bokoblins' fighting skills do not improve much with respect to their blue counterparts. In the beginning of the game, Bokoblins kidnap Talo and a Monkey. Link frees Talo and the Monkey by defeating the two Bokoblins near the Forest Temple.
