[[File:Zelda 2 (Underworld Connections).png|thumb|right|Princess Zelda as seen in the animated series]]
 
In the [[The Legend of Zelda (TV series)|''Zelda'' animated series]], Princess Zelda looks vastly different from her official artwork of the first two games. She is almost as tall as Link, has waist-length blond hair and wears a blue tiara on her head. Instead of wearing a dress, which only appears in two episodes, she wears white pants with a pair of brown, long boots and dons a purple long-sleeved shirt underneath her blue vest.
 
 
Princess Zelda is portrayed as a proud, athletic and stubborn princess with a fiery temper, although she does have her sense of humor<ref name=hero>{{cite episode|quote=We may not need a hero to fight off this attack. We may not even need you.|name=Princess Zelda|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=13}}</ref> and a romantic, sensitive side.<ref>{{cite episode|quote=You were standing on this flower, you brute!|name=Princess Zelda|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=11}}</ref> In addition to running the kingdom part-time for her father, [[King Harkinian]], she often accompanies [[Link]] on his adventures and proves to be an invaluable addition in combat, departing from the traditional role of a princess:<ref>{{cite episode|quote=Quick, take these and try to open the gate. Zelda and I will try to hold off Gohma.|name=Link|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=9}}</ref><ref>{{cite episode|quote=Back-to-back Princess, fast!|name=Link|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=1}}</ref><ref>[[:File:Link Zelda 4 (The Ringer).png|Link and Zelda fighting Stalfos back-to-back in "The Ringer"]]</ref> when Link asks her to stay so that he can defeat the monsters himself, the princess refuses to just sit down and watch and instead chooses to join him in battling the foes.<ref>{{Cite episode|quote='''Link:''' Stay here, princess! '''Zelda:''' Fat chance!'''|name=Link and Zelda|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=3}}</ref> She excels in the use of a [[Zelda's Bow|bow]] and is what she uses for most of her battles; however, she is further seen skillfully wielding a [[Boomerang]], a [[Crossbow]] and, as seen in "[[The Missing Link]]", even Link's [[Crissword]]. Often times Link provides these weapons for her,<ref>{{cite episode|quote=Better take these boomerangs. No telling what we will run into down there.|name=Link|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=8}}</ref> but as demonstrated in "[[Sing for the Unicorn]]", Zelda also has the capability of magically making a bow appear on her hand.
 
 
Although Princess Zelda mostly fights with weapons, she is the wielder of the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] and is knowledgeable in its magic capabilities, often using its magical powers to save Link or herself from dangerous situations.<ref>{{cite episode|quote=So, you're playing with magic, eh, princess? Let me show you it's done.|name=Ganon|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=6}}</ref> Zelda can only use magic when she has the Triforce of Wisdom with her;<ref>{{cite episode|quote=I MUST get the Triforce to fight Ganon, you hold them here.|name=Princess Zelda|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=12}}</ref> she usually makes it float and seems to be the only one who can do so.<ref>{{cite episode|quote=This thing is heavy. Why don't you make it float like you usually do?|name=Link|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=7}}</ref>
 
 
The series exemplifies a romantic relationship between Link and Zelda. Link is always begging the princess for a kiss;<ref>{{cite episode|quote=Ta da! Saved ya again. Kiss me.|name=Link|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=5}}</ref> however, even when she agrees to indulge him,<ref>{{cite episode|quote=I'm glad too. And thanks for rescuing me. You still want a kiss?|name=Princess Zelda|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=4}}</ref><ref>{{cite episode|quote=Mmm...shut up and kiss me!|name=Princess Zelda|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=6}}</ref><ref>{{cite episode|quote=We did it! Kiss me!|name=Princess Zelda|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=9}}</ref> it never occurs: they are interrupted by monsters, [[Spryte]] or any number of unfortunate circumstances such as something making Zelda so mad she no longer wants to kiss the young hero. Despite this, it is revealed in "[[The Missing Link]]" that Zelda loves Link,<ref>{{cite episode|quote=Zelda could only see Link if...if she was in love with him! Zelda in love with Link? Augh! How disgusting!|name=Ganon|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=12}}</ref> although she tries to deny it and say that she only likes him "a little."<ref>{{cite episode|quote=No! I mean...maybe just a little.|name=Princess Zelda|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=12}}</ref> She most likely kept it a secret from him so as to prevent it from going into Link's head.<ref>{{cite episode|quote=Don't get a swelled head. I just like you a little, that's all.|name=Princess Zelda|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=12}}</ref> To cover this up, she sometimes makes fun of Link and for the most part has a love-hate relationship with him throughout the show.<ref name=hero/><ref>{{cite episode|quote=Love you? Hah! It's just that without your body you're even MORE useless than usual.|name=Princess Zelda|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=12}}</ref>
 
 
===Valiant Comics===
 
{{Image|image=Princess Zelda VC.png|type=caption|size=120px|position=right|caption=Princess Zelda in the Valiant Comics|captionalign=center}}
 
In the [[The Legend of Zelda (Comic)|''Legend of Zelda'' comic]] by Valiant Comics, Princess Zelda's overall appearance is the same as in the animated series, and her personality is also similar. Here, the princess is portrayed as a strong and brave woman. Self-reliant and confident, Zelda is a skilled fighter, proficient in archery and horseback riding.<ref name=bow>{{cite book|quote= It would sure help if I had a bow! I can't fire a sword blast worth a darn!|book=The Legend of Zelda|publisher=Valiant Comics|page=8 [To the First Power]}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|quote=Yow! She MEANT it! But...Zelda NEVER misses...|book=The Legend of Zelda|publisher=Valiant Comics|page=6 [Queen of Hearts]}}</ref> She also possesses a quick wit and usually manages to avoid Link's attempts of affection towards her, but for all her strengths, she possesses a soft heart that is open to her people and friends. Because of this, Zelda is always willing to do anything for her people and country,<ref name=stubborn>{{cite book|quote=The Magic Trophy Ganon stole is hidden in the lower chambers! The town of Ruto will perish unless it is returned! We MUST find it! [...] I am NOT going back! Why should I?|book=The Legend of Zelda|publisher=Valiant Comics|page=2 [The Power]}}</ref> even if it means risking her life,<ref>{{cite book|quote=The people of Saria need me now! Besides, if we are weaker without OUR Triforce, so is Ganon without HIS!|book=The Legend of Zelda|publisher=Valiant Comics|page=2 [Day of the Triforce}}</ref> which makes her dear to all the citizens of Hyrule.<ref>{{cite book|quote=We have won!

Today, he is without his greatest source of Power! We must strike now! I swear, I will destroy Ganon forever!|book=The Legend of Zelda|publisher=Valiant Comics|page=5 [Day of the Triforce]}}</ref> as she helps Link out in his adventures any time she can despite the young hero's advice not to.<ref>{{cite book|quote=Wait! It may be dangerous. Let me come with you!|book=The Legend of Zelda|publisher=Valiant Comics|page=10 [The Power]}}</ref><ref name=stubborn/><ref name=job>{{cite book|quote=Not WE. Just ME.

And because...because I love you.|book=The Legend of Zelda|publisher=Valiant Comics|page=3 [The Power]}}</ref>
 
 
Just like in the animated series, Link can be seen trying to steal a kiss from Zelda any time the chance arises, <ref>{{cite book|quote=Hmmm... safe enough to kiss me, Princess?|book=The Legend of Zelda|publisher=Valiant Comics|page=Missing in Action}}</ref> but they always seem to get interrupted by Ganon's minions or Zelda changing her mind.<ref>{{cite book|quote=Aw, heck! Something ALWAYS happens every time I'm about to get a smooch!|book=The Legend of Zelda|publisher=Valiant Comics|page=3 [The Power]}}</ref> Unlike the animated series, however, the comic makes it clear that Link and Zelda love each other, as they both plainly state it to one another several times throughout their adventures.<ref name=job/><ref>{{cite book|quote=Zelda: Because you LOVE me...and I love YOU.|book=The Legend of Zelda|publisher=Valiant Comics|page=6 (The Price)}}</ref> Furthermore, in "[[Assault]]," Zelda is even willing to give up the Triforce of Wisdom to Ganon in exchange for Link's life,<ref>{{cite book|quote=Yet... To save Link's life, you offered to surrender the Triforce of Wisdom to the evil one.|book=The Legend of Zelda|publisher=Valiant Comics|page=8 [Assault]}}</ref> while the young hero is always ready to do anything to protect the princess from danger.<ref name=job/>
 
 
The Triforce of Wisdom is guarded by Princess Zelda, who uses its guidance to help her rule the kingdom wisely. Moreover, the princess can conjure powerful magic spells with the sacred relic when she is in danger.<ref>{{cite book|quote=The Triforce of Wisdom is kept by Princess Zelda in Hyrule's North Palace. Its guidance helps her rule the kingdom wisely. In times of dire need, the Triforce helps her cast powerful magic spells!|book=The Legend of Zelda|publisher=Valiant Comics|page=Bonus 1 [Issue 3]}}</ref> In order to be successful with protecting the Triforce of Wisdom, she has acquired many friends to help her, including her hero and rescuer Link, her nursemaid Impa, [[King Harkinian]], the soldiers of Hyrule, and her horse, [[Storm]]. Zelda sleeps in the northern tower in the palace, which is adjacent to the room where the Triforce of Wisdom rests.
 
 
During one adventure, Zelda decides that due to Ganon's constant attempts to capture her and the Triforce, the best course of action is to leave Hyrule, taking the Triforce of Wisdom with her.<ref>{{cite book|quote=Zelda said that the only way to keep the Triforce of Wisdom safe from Ganon is for her to take it far away and never return!|book=The Legend of Zelda|publisher=Valiant Comics|page=2 [Missing in Action]}}</ref> She had heard of a magical flute within the [[Fifth Palace]] that would teleport her to a distant place, where Ganon would not find the Triforce.<ref>{{cite book|quote=In the Fifth Palace of Hyrule is a magic flute that will transport me to a distant place. Ganon will never find me|book=The Legend of Zelda|publisher=Valiant Comics|page=5 [Missing in Action]}}</ref> With Link's help, she make it to the Palace but in the end, she decides that the safest place to be is within Link's reach.<ref>{{cite book|quote=Mister, wherever you are is the '''safest''' place we'll ever be.|book=The Legend of Zelda|publisher=Valiant Comics|page=10 [Missing in Action]}}</ref> With this in mind, she insists that Link train her to better protect herself, leading her to venture in to the [[Eagle (Dungeon)|Eagle labyrinth]] alone.<ref>{{cite book|quote=Stop worrying, Link. If I'm going to learn to fight in Ganon's Underworld, I've got to practice on my own.|book=The Legend of Zelda|publisher=Valiant Comics|page=1 [To the First Power]}}</ref> However, the training ends in her rescuing Link, who had been captured by a [[Wizzrobe]]. During this adventure, she wields Link's [[Magical Sword]], shield, and bombs as she fights multiple enemies, including a [[Gohma]] and a [[Dodongo]]. Although she is successful, she has immense difficulty doing it in a manner similar to Link's, and it isn't until she obtains a [[Bow|Magic Bow]] that she learns to develop her own style.<ref name=bow/>
 
 
Later on, when Link obtained the Triforce of Power and shot a powerful spell at the princess when she refused to give up the Triforce of Wisdom, the Triforce of Courage abandoned Link's heart and moved to Zelda, which she used to face Link and convince him to relinquish the Triforce of Power.<ref>{{cite book|quote=Your spell didn't harm me! How? The Triforce of Courage protected me! [...] The Triforce of Courage has left your heart...and come to me!|book=The Legend of Zelda|publisher=Valiant Comics|page=7 [The Price]}}</ref><Ref>{{cite book|quote=Don't you see what's happening?! You don't have to JOIN Ganon! You've BECOME Ganon!|book=The Legend of Zelda|publisher=Valiant Comics|page=8 [The Price]}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|quote=There is a price either way. My LIFE, if I give up the Power! My SOUL, if I keep it! I choose to keep...MY SOUL!|book=The Legend of Zelda|publisher=Valiant Comics|page=9 [The Price]}}</ref>
 
 
===''Captain N: The Game Master''===
 
[[File:Princess Zelda (Captain N).png|thumb|right|Princess Zelda in ''Captain N: The Game Master'']]
 
Princess Zelda makes four episode appearances in ''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]''. Zelda's personality only changed slightly from the ''Zelda'' animated series, as she's still portrayed as a proud, fair princess who rules the kingdom of Hyrule. She seems to be good friends with Princess Lana, and they both regard each other highly. Like in the ''Zelda'' cartoons, she is skillful with the [[Zelda's Bow|bow]] and often uses it during battle. Zelda's outfit retains the same style and colors from the ''Zelda'' show, but her purple shirt is now short-sleeved on her left arm, and the shirt leaves her stomach exposed. Cynthia Preston reprises her role as the voice actress for the princess.
 
 
In the episode "[[Having a Ball]]", after King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard steal the Triforce of Power and Courage, Zelda's energy wanes, which causes her to faint momentarily. It is explained by Link that Zelda has a magic bond with the Triforce, and as such, she can tell if something has happened to the sacred relic.<ref>{{cite episode|quote=There's a magic bond between them.|name=Link|show=Captain N: The Game Master|episode=Having a Ball}}</ref> As more time passes with the three Triforce pieces separated, the weaker Zelda becomes, and eventually, she could die.<ref>{{cite episode|quote=Something's happened to the Triforce. And if it's destroyed, it could finish her!|name=Link|show=Captain N: The Game Master|episode=Having a Ball}}</ref> Like in the ''Zelda'' cartoons, the princess is capable of communicating with the Triforce of Wisdom, as shown when Zelda picks up the remaining Triforce piece and uses it to tell Kevin and the rest of the team to know where the two remaining pieces are.<ref>{{cite episode|quote=It will guide us to them, but we must hurry.|name=Princess Zelda|show=Captain N: The Game Master|episode=Having a Ball}}</ref> Once the three Triforce pieces are reunited, the show exemplifies Zelda's unique magical powers when wielding the complete sacred relic: she creates a warp zone to make King Hippo, Eggplant Wizard and Mother Brain disappear from Hyrule.<ref>{{cite episode|quote=I want you out of my kingdom, ''now''!|name=Princess Zelda|show=Captain N: The Game Master|episode=Having a Ball}}</ref>

'''Goriya''' are recurring enemies in the {{LZS|series}}, first appearing in {{TLoZ}}. They are a kind of demon that have mastered the [[Boomerang]] as a tool of war,<ref>{{cite manual|quote= A little devil that lives underground. He uses boomerangs.|game= The Legend of Zelda|page=36}}</ref><ref>{{cite manual|quote=A little devil that attacks Link by using a boomerang.|game= Adventure of Link|page=27}}</ref> making them deadly in both short- and long-range combat.
In the [[Nintendo Adventure Books]] series, Princess Zelda has much of the same personality as seen in the Valiant Comics and the Television series. She is portrayed as a smart, brave and capable woman, with great skill as both a princess and a fighter. She is proficient in the use of [[Zelda's Bow|her bow]], which is her main offensive weapon,<ref>{{cite book|quote=In a flash, Zelda lets fly two arrows, piercing two two closest moblin. The others pour into the small room over the bodies of their fallen comrades, slobbering and jabbering in their awful tongue.|book=The Crystal Trap|publisher=Archway|page=27}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|quote=In a split second, she notches one of the strange arrows into her bowstring and takes aim on the nearest gibdo. It's close enough for her to smell its rotting cloth bandages.|book=The Crystal Trap|publisher=Archway|page=18}}</ref> but also resorts to using [[Zelda's Dagger|a dagger]] whenever the bow and arrow is an inefficient weapon against [[Boomerang Demon|certain enemies]].<ref>{{cite book|quote='Drat!' she yells. 'Arrows are no good against these monsters.' She draws her dagger to fend off the weird flying goblins.'|book=The Crystal Trap|publisher=Archway|page=65}}</ref>

Princess Zelda lives in [[North Castle]], along with the [[King of Hyrule]], where they both try to keep the Triforce of Wisdom away from Ganon's grasp. Impa still serves as the princess's nursemaid,<ref name>{{cite book|quote=Before he can make up his mind, a bent old woman in a black dress hobbles toward him.

Zelda cries. 'My old teacher. I thought you were Ganon's spy.'|book=The Crystal Trap|publisher=Archway|page=7}}</ref> Despite the fact that Zelda is best friends with Link, the young hero seems to enjoy annoying the princess whenever the chance arises, although Zelda also does not miss the opportunity to poke fun at the young hero.<ref>{{Cite book| quote=Two steps behind is Zelda's best friend, Link.|book= The Shadow Prince| publisher=Mammoth| page= 2}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book| quote='Did you hear something?'

===''The Legend of Zelda''===

[[File:GoriyaRed.png|left]]
  +
As with many enemies in the first ''Zelda'', Goriya come in 'red' and 'blue' varieties, and only appear in [[Dungeon]]s. Blue Goriya can survive longer than the red variety, due to having more health, and their attacks do much more damage.<ref>{{cite manual|quote= There are two of his type, blue ones and red ones. Watch out for the blue ones! They are strong.|game= The Legend of Zelda|page= 36}}</ref> They seem to not directly attack [[Link]], but instead wander around randomly before tossing their Boomerang in any random direction. Goriya generally attack in groups of three or more. Link first finds the Boomerang by defeating a group of red Goriya in [[Eagle (Dungeon)|Eagle]], and later finds the [[Boomerang#Magical Boomerang|Magical Boomerang]] by defeating a group of blue Goriya in [[Moon (Dungeon)|Moon]].
   
  +
In certain dungeons, a hungry Goriya will be blocking the passage to the next room, and their stomachs grumble at Link's presence,<ref>{{cite|GRUMBLE, GRUMBLE.|Hungry Goriya's stomach|TLOZ}}</ref> vaguely hinting that the creature is hungry, and refuses to budge until fed. To please the monster and obtain entry, Link must offer it [[Food]] purchased from a shop.
====''The Crystal Trap''====
 
In the first book of the series, ''[[The Crystal Trap]]'', Link and Princess Zelda are running inside the [[Midoro Palace]] trying to escape from Ganon's grasp. However, the evil wizard finds them and eventually encases Link in a [[Crystal]]. Ganon explains that since he cannot obtain the Triforce of Courage and Wisdom from Link and Zelda respectively, he used a [[Magic Scroll]] which cast a spell to encase both pieces of the Triforce, including the Triforce of Courage encased in Link's heart.<ref name=courage>{{Cite book| quote='I already have the Triforce of Power, but I need all three parts of the Triforce to complete my hold on Hyrule. Since I cannot get the Triforces of Courage and Wisdom from you, then you shall not be able to use them, either,' he says. 'With this magic scroll, I have cast a spell to encase them in unbreakable crystal. Of course, since the Triforce of Courage is in Link's heart, I'm afraid the poor boy will have to be shut up in the crystal also. Sorry about that.'|book=The Crystal Trap| publisher=Archway| page= 65}}</ref> Zelda is now forced to seek the three items dictated in the [[Fairy's Scroll]] that will help free Link from the Crystal, but she has just 24 hours before the young hero gets trapped inside the crystal forever.<ref>{{Cite book| quote='Not likely,' says Ganon. 'There's only one way to break the crystal, and I don't think you'll ever figure it out, or find the three things you need. By this time tomorrow, Link will be trappedi n the crystal forever!'|book=The Crystal Trap| publisher=Archway| page= 65}}</ref>
 
   
 
===''The Adventure of Link''===
Eventually, Princess Zelda finds the [[Magic Honey]], the [[Handprint]], and the [[Magnifying Glass]] and uses them to shatter the Crystal. With Link now free, the young duo head off to find the [[Spear]], which is the only weapon that can defeat Ganon. With the help of Zelda's friend [[Greenbeard]], Link obtains the Spear and uses it to defeat Ganon once and for all.<ref>{{Cite book| quote=Link gets ready to throw the spear. As he does, Ganon stumbles backward. 'The spear!' says the evil wizard in a trembling voice. 'How did you find it?'|book=The Crystal Trap| publisher=Archway| page= 17}}</ref>
 
  +
[[File:GoriyaTAoLorange.png|37px|left]]
  +
The side-scrolling angle of {{TAoL}} managed to skew the typical Goriya's attack pattern. Instead of tossing their projectiles in random directions, they specifically target Link, and can have multiple Boomerangs in the air at one time, unlike their past incarnations. They can throw Boomerangs on either the "bottom" or "top" level, in the same way most bipedal enemies attack. Link must choose to duck or stand to block the accommodating attacks with his shield<ref>{{cite manual|quote=Fend off the Boomerang with shield.|game=Adventure of Link|page=27}}</ref>. If a Boomerang is thrown at the bottom level, it will return to the Goriya on the top level, and vice versa.
   
  +
Goriya now tend to appear in caves and fields<ref>{{cite manual|quote=These devils are on the plains and in the caves too.|game= Adventure of Link|page=27}}</ref> more often than dungeons, and generally only appear alone or with a single partner instead of larger groups, perhaps due to the fact that they're now more challenging opponents.
====''The Shadow Prince''====
 
''[[The Shadow Prince]]'', unlike ''The Crystal Trap'' which had Zelda as its protagonist, focuses on Link as he tries to prove to everyone about [[Charles|Sir Charles's]] true intentions, who is a mysterious knight from the land of [[Moria]]. Princess Zelda is quick to trust Charles after he saves Link and the princess from a near-fatal attack from Moblins, and admires him for all the kind and brave deeds he has done, such as defeating single-handledly a [[Darknut]] that ambushed them later in the woods.<ref name>{{cite book|quote='Oh, Link,' she says excitedly. 'You should have seen Charles just now! Three Darknuts jumped out of the woods at us, all at once. I was too dizzy to help, but Charles beat one of them, and then the other two just ran away in fear! [...] Charles is a wizard with a sword.'|book=The Shadow Prince|publisher=Mammoth|page=119}}</ref> Despite her liking towards Charles, she hesitates when her father, the King of Hyrule, wishes to show the Triforce of Wisdom to the Morian knight since she is afraid to lose another piece of the Triforce to Ganon.<ref>{{cite book|quote='Your new friend, Charles, is a fine young man. I was thinking...would it be premature to show him the Triforce?' Zelda looks startled. 'Well, I--' [...] 'But our enemy Ganon already has the Triforce of Power,' Zelda says. 'If we lose our Triforce of Wisdom, Ganon would be that much closer to ruling us all.'|book=The Shadow Prince|publisher=Mammoth|page=17}}</ref>
 
   
 
===''A Link to the Past''===
After Link uses the [[Mirror of Truth]] to reveal that Charles is in fact Ganon in disguise, the false knight takes the Triforce of Wisdom and takes Zelda with him as well, but afterward leaves her before he heads off into the woods. Zelda tells Link where Charles headed off to, and the young hero promptly defeats the Morian knight. With the Triforce of Wisdom in hand, Princess Zelda apologizes to the young hero for having been so foolish, then proceeds to celebrate Link's victory along with the rest of the kingdom.<ref name>{{cite book|quote='Oh, Link'! she says. Her cheeks are red with embarrassment. 'I can't believe I was such an idiot.'|book=The Shadow Prince|publisher=Mammoth|page=17}}</ref>
 
  +
[[File:Goriya ALttP.png|left|48px]]
  +
In {{ALTTP}}, Goriya are radically different than previously. Known as "Coppie" in Japanese, they first appear in the [[Palace of Darkness]] and reappear in later [[Dark World]] dungeons such as [[Ganon's Tower]]. Their typical behavior and attacks are changed drastically. They no longer use Boomerangs, but instead copy Link's movement pattern similar to [[Arm-Mimic]]s and [[Mask-Mimic]]s, moving in the opposite directions of Link. While the green versions can be cornered and destroyed with the [[Master Sword]], they are especially weak to the [[Bow]], much like the [[Eyegore]]s from the same game. The red variety spit deadly fireballs whenever facing Link, and like red Eyegores, they can only be killed with [[Arrow]]s.
   
  +
In the original [[SNES]] version of the game, Goriya make a single appearance in the [[Light World]] in a cave in [[Death Mountain]]. In the [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past & Four Swords|Game Boy Advance]] version, they were replaced with Eyegores, meaning they only appear in the Dark World in that version.
===''A Link to the Past'' comic===
 
{{Image|image=Queen Zelda.png|type=caption|size=130px|position=right|caption=Zelda, Queen of Hyrule|captionalign=center}}
 
In the [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (Comic)|''A Link to the Past'' comic]], Princess Zelda shares a closer relationship with [[Link]] than in the [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|game of the same name]]. She provides him support throughout his journey to rescue her from [[Agahnim]]'s clutches,<ref name=quote1/><ref>{{cite book|quote=Link! Only a single night remains! Agahnim will cast his incantation on me under a full moon! Link! You must hurry! If he succeeds, the seal of the wise men will be broken!

At the beginning of the comic, Princess Zelda telepathically asks Link to rescue her from [[Hyrule Castle]].<ref>{{cite book|quote=Link... Help me... I'm being held prisoner in the castle... Help me... My name is Zelda...|book=A Link to the Past|publisher=Nintendo Power|page=4}}</ref> Although Link is successful in rescuing the princess, [[Agahnim]] finds her once they reach the Sanctuary. As he kidnaps her, Zelda explains to Link that the Master Sword is the only weapon that can defeat the evil wizard.<ref>{{cite book|quote=It's no use fighting Agahnim with an ordinary sword! You need the Master Sword of legends past!|book=A Link to the Past|publisher=Nintendo Power|page=17}}</ref> Zelda is then taken up to the top floor of Hyrule Castle, where, on a full moon, the final incantation will be cast upon Zelda to open the way to the [[Dark World]]. As Link is traveling through the [[Desert of Mystery]] to reach the [[Tower of Hera (A Link to the Past)|Tower of Hera]], Zelda appears to Link and explains that they are in a dream, for if two people dream the same thing, they will meet.<ref>{{cite book|quote=We are in our dream...

Though only one appears in {{LA}}, this Goriya is not an enemy, and even offers Link powerful item. He is found in a cave on southern portion of [[Toronbo Shores]]. Link can only see and speak with him at the end of the [[Link's Awakening Trading Sequence|trading sequence]], when he has the [[Magnifying Lens]]. At this point, the Goriya offers Link to trade one of his items for a [[Boomerang]] he found on the beach.<ref>{{Cite|I found a good item washed up on the beach... I'll trade it to you for what you have in your B Button...|Goriya|LA}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|You got the Boomerang in exchange for the item you had.|N/A|LA}}</ref> Link can trade the Boomerang back to the Goriya at any time to recover his item.<ref>{{Cite|Okay, let's do it!

===''Oracle of Seasons''===
Despite Link making it to Hyrule Castle before Agahnim casts his final incantation on the princess, he is unable to defeat the wizard, and Zelda is transported to the Dark World.<ref>{{cite book|quote=I have been awaiting your arrival, foolish hero! Watch now as your precious princess '''vanishes'''--before your very '''eyes'''! '''Behold!''' The last moment of Princess Zelda! '''NOW!'''|book=A Link to the Past|publisher=Nintendo Power|page= 13,14}}</ref> Link eventually discovers that she is being held in [[Turtle Rock (A Link to the Past)|Turtle Rock]] and rescues her with the help of [[Roam]]. With Zelda now saved, the trio head to [[Ganon's Tower]], where Roam dies while saving Princess Zelda from a specter of Agahnim approaching her. Ganon rises from Agahnim's body, but he is stunned by Link's Master Sword,<ref>{{cite book|quote=His '''sword'''... I am '''paralyzed'''...|book=A Link to the Past|publisher=Nintendo Power|page=6}}</ref> allowing Zelda to fire a [[Silver Arrow]] from Roam's [[crossbow]] and defeat Ganon.

She begins to comment on how although the bond between them was so strong when she was in Ganon's clutches, now that they are both free and at peace, their duties now keep them apart, leaving the queen to feel alone.<ref>{{cite book|quote=It's '''ironic''', isn't it...

In this game, they look otherwise identical to [[Moblin]]s, suggesting a relation between the two types of monster. They behave like their original incarnations; wandering around the room and suddenly throwing Boomerangs to attack Link.

Also in the Gnarled Root Dungeon, a pair of bull-like Goriyas known as the [[Brother Goriyas]] appear as minibosses.

+
[[File:Goriya green aLBW.png|55px|left]]
  +
Goriya in {{ALBW}} behave quite similarly to Goriya in ''Link to the Past'', with the exception that they do not mimic Link's movement; instead, they tend to walk directly towards him when he is spotted. In this game, Goriya can only be found in the [[Dark Palace]] and [[Treacherous Tower]].
In {{TFoE}}, Zelda, like Link, is very similar to her canonical incarnation, although somewhat bratty and childish. In the beginning, she refuses to kiss Link, and is later kidnapped by Ganon. Link, after defeating Ganon, saves her, but is once again rejected a kiss. Zelda also seems to deny that Link saved her, implying that she has no memory of the incident.
 
   
 
==Non-canon Appearances==
In ''[[Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon]]'', Zelda is now the playable character, and retains her personality from ''The Faces of Evil''. However, due to her larger role, she is much more heroic and seems to actually care for Link, at least partially. She and Impa go to [[Gamelon]] after [[King Harkinian]] and Link disappear after they depart for Gamelon to aid [[Duke Onkled]] against Ganon. She defeats Ganon's minions, learns of Duke Onkled's betrayal, and eventually defeats Ganon, rescuing her father. Link was then apparently imprisoned in a mirror that belonged to Lady Alma, which Zelda smashed, freeing him.

===Animated series===
 
[[File:Goriya (The Moblins Are Revolting).png|right|thumb|250px|Goriya as seen in the animated series]]
  +
Goriya appear in two episodes of the [[The Legend of Zelda (TV series)|animated series]]. In ''[[That Sinking Feeling]]'', [[Ganon]] commands a Goriya to search for the [[Overworld Magnet]] and to use it to drag [[Link]] and [[Princess Zelda]] into the [[Underworld]].<ref>{{cite episode|quote= Oh... Ganon gonna be mad. Me find Overworld Magnet just like Ganon tell me to, but--|name=Goriya|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=That Sinking Feeling}}</ref> However, when the magnet instead attracts a Cupid statue,<ref>{{cite episode|quote=Uh, um, me aim at them, sire, but me get that instead.|name=Goriya|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=That Sinking Feeling}}</ref> Ganon gets angry and electrocutes the Goriya for failing at his mission, causing the foe to run away in pain.
   
  +
In ''[[The Moblins are Revolting]]'', two Goriya and two [[Moblin]]s work together to attack Link while he is in his room reading a comic. However, due to their clumsiness, the creatures defeat each other without Link having to intervene. Back at the [[Evil Jar]] in the Underworld, the Moblins complain that it was the Goriyas' fault, and the monsters start fighting until Ganon zaps them. Tired of having to take the blame for Ganon's failed plans, a Goriya suggests that they would do a better job without him,<ref>{{cite episode|quote=Uh, why? We can do better. Let's kick him out!|name=Goriya|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=The Moblins are Revolting}}</ref> thus forming the alliance known as the [[Brotherhood of Underworld Monsters]]. Later on, when all of Ganon's followers begin their attack on [[North Castle]], a Goriya can be seen commanding an army of [[Vire]]s to carry several [[Octorok]]s and fire bombs inside the castle,<ref>{{cite episode|quote=Uh, my Octobombers are gonna get them!|name=Goriya|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=The Moblins are Revolting}}</ref> but then begins arguing with another Goriya as to what their course of action should be.<ref>{{cite episode|quote=Airhead? Take this, potatobrain!|name=Goriya|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=The Moblins are Revolting}}</ref> Eventually, neither the Goriya nor the rest of the monsters accomplish anything meaningful, and they end up returning to Ganon's command in the Underworld.
Zelda is once again the playable character in {{ZA}}, like in ''The Wand of Gamelon'', but her mood and personality is completely different. In fact, much like Link in the canon games, she does not talk at all, and appears as a humble, chosen warrior. She is summoned to Tolemac by the wizard Gaspra. Link was apparently adventuring there and was kidnapped by Ganon, who also stole the celestial signs. Zelda then defeats Ganon's minions, restores the signs, and strikes down Ganon himself, rescuing Link and saving Tolemac. In this game, the sword is used as a spell through her default weapon, the wand. Using the wand, Princess Zelda can generate broadswords that fly at her enemies. It is fairly strong and can be used against certain knights who fight with broadswords.
 
   
  +
Interestingly, although the Goriya in ''That Sinking Feeling'' seems to speak with poor grammar just like the rest of the Moblins, the Goriya seen in ''The Moblins are Revolting'' can be heard speaking very fluent English.
See [[Spells of Zelda's Adventure#Broadsword|Spells of Zelda's Adventure]] for more information.
 
   
===''Super Smash Bros.'' Series===
+
===''Captain N: The Game Master''===
  +
A Goriya briefly appears in the ''[[Having a Ball]]'' episode of ''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]''. After [[Link]], [[Princess Zelda]], Kevin, and Princess Lana arrive at the tunnel leading to the [[Island Palace]], a Goriya appears and rapidly begins to throw boomerangs nonstop toward the heroes. The boomerangs impede the group's progress, so Link uses his [[Magic Shield]] to block the attacks while the rest of the party follows closely behind. As the heroes approach the Goriya, Kevin uses his Zapper to defeat it, allowing them to continue to their destination.

:''For trophy information, see [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros.)]]''
 
Princess Zelda first appears as a playable character in the {{ssb|Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series}} in {{SSBM}}. She is depicted as her adult form as seen in {{OoT}}, wearing a pink and white dress with pink shoes. She is regarded by most as a lightweight character, being easy to kick off the screen. Although Zelda is considered to be slow-moving, she possess some mighty strength through her [[Spells of Ocarina of Time#Super Smash Bros. Series|spell-based attacks]]. Zelda can use her Transform ability to turn herself into her alter-ego [[Sheik]] at any point during a battle, which turns her into a quicker character with a completely different set of moves.
 
   
  +
===''The Legend of Zelda'' comic===
Zelda returns in {{SSBB}}, this time appearing as she did in {{TP}} but with more darkened colors. Sheik also appears, using a character model based on an unused design for ''Twilight Princess''. However, her costume can be changed to look more like her ''Ocarina of Time'' appearance. While Zelda's moves are mostly unchanged from ''Melee'', Sheik's physical attack power has been dropped considerably to better balance the game. Her [[Final Smash]] as well as Sheik's is the [[Light Arrow#Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Light Arrow]].
 
  +
In the [[The Legend of Zelda (Comic)|''Legend of Zelda'' comic]], Goriya resemble their ''Adventure of Link'' depiction. They first appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Comic)/Issue 1#Missing in Action|Missing in Action]]'' as one of the enemies that go after Princess Zelda and the Triforce of Wisdom. ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Comic)/Issue 2#To the First Power|To the First Power]]'' also shows these foes capturing Link outside one of the [[Underworld]] entrances under the orders of a [[Wizzrobe]], and are later seen attacking Princess Zelda while she is inside the [[Eagle Labyrinth]]. After Link manages to take the [[Triforce of Power]] from Ganon in ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Comic)/Issue 3#The Power|The Power]]'', several of Ganon's Goriya minions offer to serve Link, as they believe that he holds more power than their master,<ref>{{cite book|quote=Link has powerful magic! Goriya serve Link! Link be master, not Ganon!|book=The Legend of Zelda|publisher=Valiant Comics|page=}}</ref> but Link refuses.<ref>{{cite book|quote=No! What am I saying? Get away from me! Get out of here! |book=The Legend of Zelda|publisher=Valiant Comics|page=7}}</ref> However, when Link heads to a palace to search for Ganon, he is greeted outside by the same group of Goriya that had offered to serve him.<ref>{{cite book|quote=Link let Goriya serve him now? Goriya MUST serve! Only Link has Triforce of Power! Only Link is worthy to be master!|book=The Legend of Zelda|publisher=Valiant Comics|page=}}</ref> This time, he accepts their aid,<ref>{{cite book|quote=Hmmm... Well... Why not?|book=The Legend of Zelda|publisher=Valiant Comics|page=1}}</ref> and the Goriya give him a robe similar to that of Ganon's.<ref>{{cite book|quote=Link will rule! Link is king! Link wear King robes!|book=The Legend of Zelda|publisher=Valiant Comics|page=1}}</ref>
   
  +
Goriya appear once again in ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Comic)/Issue 4#Queen of Hearts|Queen of Hearts]]'', where they battle against Link and [[Queen Seline]] to keep them from breaking the magic container that will give the queen her magical powers back. They last make an appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Comic)/Issue 5#Day of the Triforce|Day of the Triforce]]'' as two Goriya try to eat a captured [[Miff]] in Death Mountain.<ref>{{cite book|quote=Fairy made good snack! Not enough for two! Get lost!|book=The Legend of Zelda|publisher=Valiant Comics|page=8}}</ref>
Zelda makes a return in {{SSB4}}. Her moveset is mostly the same as the one in ''Brawl'', just with new visual effects. She is now a separate character from Sheik, which adds a new move to her set called Phantom Slash, in which she summons a [[Phantom]] that can be used either as a ranged attack or has defense.
 
   
 
===''The Crystal Trap''===
Zelda relies on magic-based attacks to fight, which are the spells seen in ''Ocarina of Time''; [[Din's Fire]], [[Farore's Wind]], and [[Nayru's Love]]. However, they behave differently from their original appearance. Din's Fire is a fireball which Zelda can control, allowing it to travel long distances in a straight or curved lines. Farore's Wind can be used anywhere, serving as Zelda's [[ssb:Recovery|recovery move]]. Nayru's Love starts out in its surrounding diamond form, but shatters moments later. The shards deal slight damage to anyone surrounding Zelda. The spell does not prevent melee damage as in ''Ocarina of Time'', but it can now reflect projectile attacks.
 
  +
[[File:Goriya TCT.png|left||120px|The Blue Goriya that attacks Link and Princess Zelda in ''The Crystal Trap'']]
  +
In ''[[The Crystal Trap]]'', [[Princess Zelda]] and Link are attacked by a blue Goriya after the young hero has been freed from the [[Crystal]]. Zelda shoots an arrow from [[Zelda's Bow|her bow]] at the Goriya, injuring it, but it then goes on to say that if the pair spares his life, he will show them a powerful weapon: a [[Battle Axe]], which is the only thing that can defeat Ganon.<ref>{{cite book|quote='Spare me and I'll show you a powerful weapon,' the monster pleads. 'A battle axe. It's the only thing that can defeat Ganon, and I know where it is.'|book=The Crystal Trap|publisher=Archway|page=13}}</ref> If Link and Zelda agree to follow the Goriya, he will lead the pair into a massive room containing the Battle Axe. The Goriya will then disappear after Link grabs the axe.
   
  +
After Princess Zelda and Link run into Ganon, the evil wizard will confess that he told the Goriya to lead the young heroes to the Battle Axe, since he knew that if they found the axe, Link and Zelda would stop searching for the real weapon that could defeat Ganon: the [[Spear]].<ref>{{cite book|quote='My axe, you mean,' says Ganon. 'I told that goriya to lead you to it. I knew if you had the axe you'd stop looking for the real weapon that can defeat me.'|book=The Crystal Trap|publisher=Archway|page=95}}</ref>
===''Hyrule Warriors''===
 
{{sectstub|HW}}
 
Princess Zelda in {{HW}} is the leader of the [[Soldiers|Hyrulean Army]], and the princess of [[Hyrule]]. Zelda is said to have a romantic relationship with Link.{{fact}} As an incarnation of Zelda, she is the embodiment of [[Hylia]] and holds the [[Triforce|Triforce of Wisdom]]. She is a playable character, who has a rapier as her basic weapon and uses a combination of the [[Spells of Ocarina of Time|spells from ''Ocarina of Time'']]; Nayru's Love, Farore's Wind, and Din's Fire as one of her Musou Attacks. She also has a unique mechanic where she can summon orbs of light to enhance her attacks.
 
   
  +
===''The Shadow Prince''===
An alternate weapon she acquires is the Baton (an item very similar to the {{it|Wind Waker}}), using it to conjure magical music made from wind and lightning in order to attack. While not as speedy as her default, she is given attacks with a lot more range and crowd control. Some of the songs she can use are "[[Saria's Song]]", the "[[Song of Storms]]", the "[[Earth God's Lyric]]", and the "[[Wind God's Aria]]".
 
  +
Goriya are briefly mentioned in ''[[The Shadow Prince]]''. When the [[King of Hyrule]] calls an urgent meeting to take the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] to the [[Fifth Castle of Ancient Hyrule]], he mentions that a recent thunderstorm caused Goriya to fall from the sky, most likely due to the fact that Ganon is becoming more powerful.<ref name=castle>{{cite book|quote='And a scout from Ruberry tells me a thunderstorm last week produced a hail of Goriyas!' 'Goriyas? From the sky?' Murmurs of disbelief run up and down the council table. The king nods. 'It seems that Ganon's power is growing stronger.'|book=The Shadow Prince| publisher=Mammoth|page=6, 7}}</ref>
   
  +
===Philips CD-i===
She appears to be based upon her {{SS}} appearance, but slightly more realistic, similar to {{OoT}}. The {{TP}}, ''Ocarina of Time'' and ''Skyward Sword'' incarnations will come with the Wisdom set.
 
  +
Goriya appear in all ''Zelda'' games for the [[Philips CD-i]]. In {{FOE}} and {{WOG}}, they have a similar appearance to the ones in the animated series. However in {{ZA}}, they resemble purple apes with white hair that throw massive boomerangs. In this game, [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] can obtain the [[Spells of Zelda's Adventure#Boomerang|Boomerang]] the Goriyas use by defeating a small group of them in a clearing west of the [[Forest of Ogbam]].

OoT Triforce Model
This article is a viable candidate for reorganization.

Please see the related discussion on this article's talk page for more information concerning its future layout.

Template:Enemy Goriya are recurring enemies in the Template:LZS, first appearing in The Legend of Zelda. They are a kind of demon that have mastered the Boomerang as a tool of war,[1][2] making them deadly in both short- and long-range combat. Template:TLoZManual Template:TAoLManual

Appearances

The Legend of Zelda

As with many enemies in the first Zelda, Goriya come in 'red' and 'blue' varieties, and only appear in Dungeons. Blue Goriya can survive longer than the red variety, due to having more health, and their attacks do much more damage.[3] They seem to not directly attack Link, but instead wander around randomly before tossing their Boomerang in any random direction. Goriya generally attack in groups of three or more. Link first finds the Boomerang by defeating a group of red Goriya in Eagle, and later finds the Magical Boomerang by defeating a group of blue Goriya in Moon.

In certain dungeons, a hungry Goriya will be blocking the passage to the next room, and their stomachs grumble at Link's presence,[4] vaguely hinting that the creature is hungry, and refuses to budge until fed. To please the monster and obtain entry, Link must offer it Food purchased from a shop.

The Adventure of Link

The side-scrolling angle of The Adventure of Link managed to skew the typical Goriya's attack pattern. Instead of tossing their projectiles in random directions, they specifically target Link, and can have multiple Boomerangs in the air at one time, unlike their past incarnations. They can throw Boomerangs on either the "bottom" or "top" level, in the same way most bipedal enemies attack. Link must choose to duck or stand to block the accommodating attacks with his shield[5]. If a Boomerang is thrown at the bottom level, it will return to the Goriya on the top level, and vice versa.

Goriya now tend to appear in caves and fields[6] more often than dungeons, and generally only appear alone or with a single partner instead of larger groups, perhaps due to the fact that they're now more challenging opponents.

A Link to the Past

In Template:ALTTP, Goriya are radically different than previously. Known as "Coppie" in Japanese, they first appear in the Palace of Darkness and reappear in later Dark World dungeons such as Ganon's Tower. Their typical behavior and attacks are changed drastically. They no longer use Boomerangs, but instead copy Link's movement pattern similar to Arm-Mimics and Mask-Mimics, moving in the opposite directions of Link. While the green versions can be cornered and destroyed with the Master Sword, they are especially weak to the Bow, much like the Eyegores from the same game. The red variety spit deadly fireballs whenever facing Link, and like red Eyegores, they can only be killed with Arrows.

In the original SNES version of the game, Goriya make a single appearance in the Light World in a cave in Death Mountain. In the Game Boy Advance version, they were replaced with Eyegores, meaning they only appear in the Dark World in that version.

Link's Awakening

Goriya Home

Goriya's cave in Toronbo Shores

Though only one appears in Link's Awakening, this Goriya is not an enemy, and even offers Link powerful item. He is found in a cave on southern portion of Toronbo Shores. Link can only see and speak with him at the end of the trading sequence, when he has the Magnifying Lens. At this point, the Goriya offers Link to trade one of his items for a Boomerang he found on the beach.[7][8] Link can trade the Boomerang back to the Goriya at any time to recover his item.[9][10] The Boomerang is one of the most useful weapons in the game, and the Goriya will even beg Link to give it back to him after the trade.[11] Not all items can be traded for the Boomerang.[12]

Oracle of Seasons

Goriya appear again as enemies in the Template:OoX,[13] first appearing in the Gnarled Root Dungeon. In this game, they look otherwise identical to Moblins, suggesting a relation between the two types of monster. They behave like their original incarnations; wandering around the room and suddenly throwing Boomerangs to attack Link. Many of the enemies that appear in the Gnarled Root Dungeon evoke those that appeared in the Eagle dungeon of the original NES adventure, and these are no exception.

Main article: Brother Goriyas

Also in the Gnarled Root Dungeon, a pair of bull-like Goriyas known as the Brother Goriyas appear as minibosses.

A Link Between Worlds

Goriya in A Link Between Worlds behave quite similarly to Goriya in Link to the Past, with the exception that they do not mimic Link's movement; instead, they tend to walk directly towards him when he is spotted. In this game, Goriya can only be found in the Dark Palace and Treacherous Tower.

Non-canon Appearances

Animated series

Goriya (The Moblins Are Revolting)

Goriya as seen in the animated series

Goriya appear in two episodes of the animated series. In That Sinking Feeling, Ganon commands a Goriya to search for the Overworld Magnet and to use it to drag Link and Princess Zelda into the Underworld.[14] However, when the magnet instead attracts a Cupid statue,[15] Ganon gets angry and electrocutes the Goriya for failing at his mission, causing the foe to run away in pain.

In The Moblins are Revolting, two Goriya and two Moblins work together to attack Link while he is in his room reading a comic. However, due to their clumsiness, the creatures defeat each other without Link having to intervene. Back at the Evil Jar in the Underworld, the Moblins complain that it was the Goriyas' fault, and the monsters start fighting until Ganon zaps them. Tired of having to take the blame for Ganon's failed plans, a Goriya suggests that they would do a better job without him,[16] thus forming the alliance known as the Brotherhood of Underworld Monsters. Later on, when all of Ganon's followers begin their attack on North Castle, a Goriya can be seen commanding an army of Vires to carry several Octoroks and fire bombs inside the castle,[17] but then begins arguing with another Goriya as to what their course of action should be.[18] Eventually, neither the Goriya nor the rest of the monsters accomplish anything meaningful, and they end up returning to Ganon's command in the Underworld.

Interestingly, although the Goriya in That Sinking Feeling seems to speak with poor grammar just like the rest of the Moblins, the Goriya seen in The Moblins are Revolting can be heard speaking very fluent English.

Captain N: The Game Master

A Goriya briefly appears in the Having a Ball episode of Captain N: The Game Master. After Link, Princess Zelda, Kevin, and Princess Lana arrive at the tunnel leading to the Island Palace, a Goriya appears and rapidly begins to throw boomerangs nonstop toward the heroes. The boomerangs impede the group's progress, so Link uses his Magic Shield to block the attacks while the rest of the party follows closely behind. As the heroes approach the Goriya, Kevin uses his Zapper to defeat it, allowing them to continue to their destination.

The Legend of Zelda comic

In the Legend of Zelda comic, Goriya resemble their Adventure of Link depiction. They first appear in Missing in Action as one of the enemies that go after Princess Zelda and the Triforce of Wisdom. To the First Power also shows these foes capturing Link outside one of the Underworld entrances under the orders of a Wizzrobe, and are later seen attacking Princess Zelda while she is inside the Eagle Labyrinth. After Link manages to take the Triforce of Power from Ganon in The Power, several of Ganon's Goriya minions offer to serve Link, as they believe that he holds more power than their master,[19] but Link refuses.[20] However, when Link heads to a palace to search for Ganon, he is greeted outside by the same group of Goriya that had offered to serve him.[21] This time, he accepts their aid,[22] and the Goriya give him a robe similar to that of Ganon's.[23]

Goriya appear once again in Queen of Hearts, where they battle against Link and Queen Seline to keep them from breaking the magic container that will give the queen her magical powers back. They last make an appearance in Day of the Triforce as two Goriya try to eat a captured Miff in Death Mountain.[24]

The Crystal Trap

The Blue Goriya that attacks Link and Princess Zelda in The Crystal Trap

In The Crystal Trap, Princess Zelda and Link are attacked by a blue Goriya after the young hero has been freed from the Crystal. Zelda shoots an arrow from her bow at the Goriya, injuring it, but it then goes on to say that if the pair spares his life, he will show them a powerful weapon: a Battle Axe, which is the only thing that can defeat Ganon.[25] If Link and Zelda agree to follow the Goriya, he will lead the pair into a massive room containing the Battle Axe. The Goriya will then disappear after Link grabs the axe.

After Princess Zelda and Link run into Ganon, the evil wizard will confess that he told the Goriya to lead the young heroes to the Battle Axe, since he knew that if they found the axe, Link and Zelda would stop searching for the real weapon that could defeat Ganon: the Spear.[26]

The Shadow Prince

Goriya are briefly mentioned in The Shadow Prince. When the King of Hyrule calls an urgent meeting to take the Triforce of Wisdom to the Fifth Castle of Ancient Hyrule, he mentions that a recent thunderstorm caused Goriya to fall from the sky, most likely due to the fact that Ganon is becoming more powerful.[27]

Philips CD-i

Goriya appear in all Zelda games for the Philips CD-i. In Template:FOE and Template:WOG, they have a similar appearance to the ones in the animated series. However in Zelda's Adventure, they resemble purple apes with white hair that throw massive boomerangs. In this game, Zelda can obtain the Boomerang the Goriyas use by defeating a small group of them in a clearing west of the Forest of Ogbam.
