The Miniblins are a species of impish enemy creatures that have appeared in several The Legend of Zelda games.
Information[edit]
In appearance, Miniblins bear a certain resemblance to Satyrs of Greek mythology. They have a hoofed underside with a tail, while the top half is bare. They have strange markings on their face and horns as well. Miniblins are simple-minded creatures that attack in great numbers. They are easy to detect when approaching due to their distinct 'da-dunk' sound they make. They are easily defeated, but travel in such large groups that they become unwieldy to deal with.
Appearances[edit]
In The Wind Waker, Miniblins specifically infested Forsaken Fortress, some submarines and parts of Outset Island. They were capable of climbing up walls and attacking in large numbers. Miniblins wielded pitchforks and, unlike other enemies, would not drop them. Link was able to distract them by dropping All-Purpose Bait, which they would quickly swarm to for the chance at food.
More appeared in Phantom Hourglass where they served under Bellum. These variants were less colorful, but they also tended to be a tad smarter as they did not blindly attack in swarms. On the open sea, there were also a seafaring breed that had fins rather than horns on their head. They sailed in heavily armed pirate ships and boarded anyone unfortunate enough to get near them.
Miniblins also appeared as pirates in Spirit Tracks, where the pirate group that terrorized the Ocean Realm consisted primarily of Miniblins, while being led by new monstrous creatures known as Big Blins. Some Miniblins also appeared in the Tower of Spirits, where they rode Armos-like mounts. This rendered them nearly invincible, unless Link was able to reach a proper altitude to knock them off their mounts, or if a Wrecker Phantom possessed by Zelda could destroy the Armos.
Other Appearances[edit]
Video Games[edit]
- Miniblins appeared as foot soldiers in Hyrule Warriors on Wind Waker-based maps. They were led by Miniblin Captains, which were taller and better armoed.
Trivia[edit]
- Their name is derived from the common Zelda enemy 'Moblin', which gets its name from the word "goblin". 'Mini', quite simply, refers to their smaller size.
