| − | Anton is a man that can be found walking around [[Windfall Island]] in {{TWW}}. His second-favorite activity is walking as it keeps his legs in shape, while his number one hobby is actually kickboxing. Lately, he’s had a crush on the young lady [[Linda]] and, if Link successfully introduces him to her, they fall in love and reward him with a [[Heart Container#Piece of Heart|Piece of Heart]]. |
||
| + | As with many enemies in the first ''Zelda'', Goriya come in 'red' and 'blue' varieties, and only appear in [[Dungeon]]s.

| − | In {{TMC}}, there is a blond man, crew cut, with a similar name (his Japanese name is also nearly similar: {{Japanese|ヤンタン|Yantan||1}}). He lives in [[Hyrule Castle Town#The Minish Cap|Hyrule Town]] and is always seen near [[Borlov]]'s [[Treasure Chest Game|shop]]. [[Link]] can [[Kinstone Fusion|fuse]] [[Kinstone]]s with him. |

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.

| + | In the original [[SNES]] version of the game, Goriya make a single appearance in the [[Light World]] in a cave in [[Death Mountain]].

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...

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. Many of the enemies that appear in the [[Gnarled Root Dungeon]] evoke those that appeared in the [[Eagle (Dungeon)|Eagle]] dungeon of the original NES adventure, and these are no exception. |

||
| + | [[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]]. |

||
| + | ===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. |
||
| + | |||
| + | 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 [[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> |
||
| + | |||
| + | ===''The Crystal Trap''=== |
||
| + | [[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> |
||
| + | |||
| + | ===''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.<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=== |
||
| + | 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]]. |

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'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.
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 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
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.
