Ghinis are recurring enemies in the Legend of Zelda series. They have the appearance of a typical ghost, with one eye, and with a white or blue body, and a whispy tail. They usually come out when their grave is disturbed, although they are also known to openly haunt graveyards for any victims to do away with.
They often attack in groups, having a collective life force. When one is killed, all will be killed in the same instant. They can be dispatched with many weapons, but they take more hits to kill than most common enemies. They have appeared mostly in handheld games to date.
The official Zelda web site states that Ghinis and Poes are one and the same, but they are treated differently in the games, so this is not generally considered canon.

[edit] Appearances
[edit] The Legend of Zelda
Ghinis appear only in the graveyard in western Hyrule. Each area of the cemetary has one Ghini. It moves slowly in a linear pattern. However, any time Link brushes against a gravestone, another Ghini appears. Ghinis that spawn from gravestones are completely invulnerable to all of Link's weapons, and move in random non-linear patterns, occasionally slowing and briefly resting in place. Defeating the original Ghini will eliminate all Ghinis on the screen.
[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
Ghinis haunt the Cemetery north of the Koholint Prairie, for the most part. Some will fly around in open sight, while others appear when Link approaches their gravestone. They are among the most difficult regular enemies to defeat in the game, requiring multiple hits from even a Spin Attack to be defeated. They also attack in conjunction with Zombies.
While not a Ghini, a Ghost haunts Link after he completes the fourth dungeon, Angler's Tunnel. While it acts friendly towards Link, it will threaten to curse him should he spread Magic Powder on its grave.
[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons
Ghinis appear in the Graveyard and the Explorer's Crypt in Holodrum, as well as the Yoll Graveyard, the Spirit's Grave, and the Ancient Tomb in Labrynna. Ghinis that flicker briefly before moving when Link encounters them are weaker than ordinary Ghinis, which do not flicker. Oddly, one blow from the Rod of Seasons will kill them instantly. However, this technique will only work in Holodrum.
A large Ghini named Giant Ghini serves as the mini-boss of the Spirit's Grave, the first dungeon in Oracle of Ages.
[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures
Ghinis, as well as Giant Ghinis, appear in The Swamp. Ghinis can be destroyed either by Sword attacks or by light from Torches.
[edit] The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
Ghinis appear in the Royal Valley, attacking anyone nearing the area. They attack in a way similar to ReDeads and Gibdos, in that they will start sucking the life force out of Link should he be caught by them.
There is also a female Ghini known as Gina that Link can fuse Kinstones with.
