Gerudo:

The Gerudo are extremely muscular as well as fairly tall people upon reaching adulthood. Gerudo normally wear Gerudo Top and Gerudo Sirwal. Gerudo wear high heels and hoop earrings with only soldiers and guards wearing Gerudo Veils. Soldiers also wear golden armor similar to the "Desert Voe" armor set though with elements of Gerudo Vai clothing such as Gerudo Sirwal with a horseshoe design. Buliara wears golden armor similar to other soldiers though the horseshoe design of her Sirwal features a red dot in the middle and she does not wear a veil and her armor is more elaborate and resembles armor design of the soldier statues in Gerudo Town. Gerudo are shown to have pointy ears common to the other two humanoid races Hylians and Sheikah. While most are prominently depicted as redheads. However Gerudo are shown to have a wider range of skin pigmentation with some have light, tan, or dark skin. This may be due to some Gerudo living outside Gerudo Town and/or due to the influence of Hylian genes as most Gerudo apparently have Hylian fathers. Female Gerudo children are shown and dress almost identical to young adult female Gerudo even wearing makeup, jewelry, and child-sized heels indicating the fashions of children and young adult Gerudo are similar differing only in clothing size and having a flower design on their Gerudo Sirwal. Elderly Gerudo wear vests over their Gerudo Top and Gerudo Sirwal with a snake pattern. Most Gerudo fashion involves gold in some form and even extends to their weaponry and shields.

Zoras Domain Residents:

Sidon

Sidon's appearance is based on that of a Hammerhead Shark. His is crimson red in color. As a Royal Zora, he is much taller and stronger than the average Zora. He predominantly wears silver colored jewelry and adornments marking his status as a Royal Zora. The Zora emblem can be seen as part of his outfit on his rear fins which are the equivalent of dorsal fins.

His weapon of choice is the Lightscale Trident.

Sidon is extroverted, evidenced by his enthusiasm and optimistic view on life. He seems to see things on the positive side even during dark times and doesn't let his royal heritage affect him. Because of this, he is very popular with most of the younger Zora, and he exhibits kindness to everyone around him and it extends to non-Zora races. While usually quite cheerful, Sidon can be serious when necessary and he doesn't take kindly to any kind of prejudice against others. He is also strict when it comes to unwanted visitors when his father is busy with other things and will escort them out.

Mipha

Mipha, like all members of her race, is a humanoid dolphin being half-human and half-fish. Her skin is scaly and of different shades of red and white and she has a fish fin on her head as hair. Mipha is shorter than the average Zora. She has a serene face, with thin red lips and yellow eyes.

Originally she only wore jewelry and ornaments of Zora royalty, but after she officially became a Champion she began to wear a robe with the emblem of Hyrule.

Although usually demure and introverted, Mipha can be courageous when needed and does whatever she can to assist her allies in any way she can.

Mipha is known to be extremely kind, sweet, treating both her people and strangers with equal kindness. She is a nurturing elder sister to Sidon.

Muzu

Muzu is one of the Zora elders on the Zora council and the former teacher of Princess Mipha. Muzu cares greatly for Mipha.

King Dorephan

King Dorephan is the King of the Zora and reigns over the Zora's Domain in the Lanayru Great Spring region. He is the father of Princess Mipha and Prince Sidon. He is known to have reigned over the Zora for over one hundred years making him the longest known reigning King Zora in the history.

Like most King Zora, Dorephan is larger than most Zora though he is physically fit and a competent fighter said to possess supernatural strength for a Zora. His physically strength alone even allowed him to lift a Guardian and throw it down a ravine receiving only a minor battle scar on his head.

He is also a wise leader who is quite knowledgeable about Zora history and is even something of a historian as he commissioned Jiahto to create the Zora Stone Monuments that record Zora history as told by Dorephan himself. He also a capable leader.

Zora:

Zora have a shark-like appearance. They have their own kingdom, the Zora's Domain, which is currently ruled by King Dorephan whom has ruled Zora's Domain for at least a century. Zora's Domain is said to have been founded by the Zora at least ten thousand years ago long before King Dorephan's reign according to the Zora Stone Monument.

Zora have naturally long lifespans. It is implied by Finley that some of the Zora children in Zora's Domain may not be as young as they appear as Finley states she is at that awkward Zora age where despite being a young woman she has yet to have her growth spurt. It is implied that the Zora are capable of living in both fresh and salt water as Prince Sidon is known to have fought an Octorok in Hateno Bay which is located in the Necluda Sea, however they prefer fresh water.

Like the Knights of Hyrule, the Zora have their own knights who defend Zora's Domain. Zora tend to favor spears and tridents over swords and shields and craft them out of silver. Zora weaponry is generally very ornate and artistic.

Goron City Residents:

Daruk

Daruk is the Goron Champion and wears the same blue cloth as Revali, Urbosa and Mipha.

Daruk is courageous of heart and extremely dedicated. Although usually calm, he becomes loud and ferocious during battle.

Daruk is also shown to be a good leader. He also swore to defend his land and people to the death. If anything, Daruk passionately and fully embraced his role as a Champion much like Mipha and Urbosa did. Daruk dislikes showing signs of weakness such as his fear of dogs.

Daruk had a strong sense of comradeship due to his Goron upbringing and though he admittedly he like most Gorons lived a simple life as his training journal often recorded simple activities such as meals he enjoyed. Due to being unfamiliar with Hylian diet. This lead him to assume all Hylians could in fact eat rocks as part of their diet.

Gorons:

The Gorons mostly live at Goron City in the Eldin Canyon region of Hyrule. Daruk is a Goron warrior who lives in Goron City, being selected by Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule and Princess Zelda to become the Goron Champion and pilot of the Divine Beast Vah Rudania.

Princess Zelda and King Rhoam intended for Daruk to pilot Vah Rudania as a previous unnamed Goron had during the previous battle against Calamity Ganon 10,000 years before. Daruk himself possessed a special power called Daruk's Protection, which allowed him to summon an impenetrable barrier to protect himself and his allies.

Due to the volcanic heat of areas around Death Mountain, the Gorons sell Fireproof Elixirs and make "Flamebreaker" Armor to protect non-Goron travelers from the intense heat. Though Gorons themselves eat rocks, the Protein Palace BBQ sells roasted food for the few tourists that brave the dangers and heat to reach Goron City. In addition to Rock Roasts, "Grade A" Rock Roast, Prime Roast Roasts, Gourmet Sirloin Rock, Grilled Rock Roasts, Gorons can also consume gemstones, though most the species consider them unsavory and little more than gross snacks. In addition to Rock Salt and Cane Sugar, the Goron Gusto Shop sells Goron Spice, which is a special Goron-made seasoning created from many spices, a secret recipe that has been handed down among the Gorons for generations.

Gorons work primarily as miners, blacksmiths, and merchants. Most live in Goron City and in areas near Death Mountain, though some choose to travel the land of Hyrule to trade goods, see the world, or promote relations between them and other races. Their economy is based mainly around mining Ore Deposits for minerals such as Flint and Rock Salt or gemstones such as Amber, Diamonds, and Luminous Stones. The Goron blacksmith Rohan keeps the ancient art of Goron blacksmithing alive in modern day Hyrule. In the distant past, Goron blacksmiths forged Great Flameblades in the fires of Death Mountain several of which have survived into modern times.

Rito Village Residents

Revali

Revali is a member of the Rito tribe. Revali is also the Rito Champion .He wears the same blue cloth as Daruk, Urbosa and Mipha, symbolizing him being a fellow champion.

Revali is very prideful and arrogant. He also comes across as rather flamboyant and over dramatic in his speeches, though he means well. Revali uses his confident exterior to hide his insecurity about himself.

Rito

The Rito originate from Rito Village in the Tabantha Frontier region of the Hebra province of Hyrule. The village is headed by the Champion of the Rito Revali. Rito are depicted as having a bird-like appearance. Revali, the Rito Champion and a skilled aerial fighter living in the skies of Hyrule. This warrior was selected by King Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule to pilot the Divine Beast Vah Medoh as a member of the Champions.

The Rito primarily wield light-weight weapons, bows such as the Swallow Bow or Falcon Bow, and shields designed to be used in both ground and aerial combat. They are also known to have crafted Feathered Edges, Feathered Spears and Kite Shields. The tailor Huck uses the softest and thickest baby Rito feathers to craft the Snowquill Headdress, Tunic and Trousers which grants cold resistance and are sold at the Brazen Beak to tourists and travelers. Rito are naturally resistant to cold temperatures and cold at high altitudes thanks to their insulating feathers. However as shown by the Rito Guy this insulation can work against Rito in the desert forcing them to rely on Chilly Elixirs, Frozen Food, and "Chilly" food dishes to keep cool.

They are shown to exist in Hyrule along with the Zora who live on the other side of Hyrule in the Lanayru Great Spring region.

According to legend it is revealed that the Rito and Zora have coexisted in Hyrule for over 10,000 years as both races are said to have been entrusted with Divine Beasts by the Sheikah 10,000 years before the events of Breath of the Wild indicating the possibly that they may have split off from the Zora so long ago that the connection between the two races has been forgotten or that they have evolved further becoming more distant over time, which would explain the Rito's more bird-like appearance and the shark-like appearance of the Zora. It should be noted the Kokiri have apparently evolved into Koroks as well and no direct references to the Kokiri are made beyond a passing reference in the description for the Trousers of Time (referred to simply as "people who made their home in the forest".) indicating the Koroks and Rito evolved such a long time ago to the point their races origins have been largely forgotten. The Rito do retain some apparent cultural vestiges of their ancestry as they prefer spears despite having developed Feathered Edge swords which interestingly has the same base attack and durability as the Zora Sword. Additionally their village is located above Lake Totori where their Zora ancestors could have lived before evolving into the Rito or the Rito chose to live there due to the influence of their Zora ancestry culturally or instinctively. Presumably over time they became culturally and biologically distinct adapting to their environment as Rito are more resilient and can handle environmental conditions that could prove potentially fatal for Zora presumably due to the varied climate conditions of Hebra province.

Rito Warriors

Rito have a proud warrior culture as exemplified by Revali. Rito warriors are masters of aerial combat, particularly aerial archery. Additionally they wield lightweight Kite Shields, Feathered Edge swords, and Feathered Spears so as not to be weighed down. Rito warriors wear lightweight armor padding covered by a cloth similar in design to the armor padding of the Snowquill Tunic.

However, unlike the Zora, Rito warriors are predominantly male and female Rito like Laissa wishes she had been a trained soldier implying female Rito are discouraged or barred from becoming warriors, which is in sharp contrast to the Zora as there are several female Zora Knights and even a female Champion Mipha who accepted the position with her father King Dorephan's blessing and approval. Huck notes only male Rito are urged to become honorable warriors like Revali suggesting that female Rito are either discouraged from the profession or there are simply too many cultural barriers that make becoming Rito warriors extremely difficult for female Rito like Laissa.

Hyrule Castle Residents

King Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule

King Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule or King Rhoam for short is the the last King of Hyrule and the father of Princess Zelda.

Rhoam has a similar personality as the other kings of the Royal Family of Hyrule. Being the ruler of Hyrule, Rhoam considers what is best for his land. He is also shown to be very patient.

Though shown to be a patient figure, Rhoams wisdom is somewhat questionable, at least when compared to his daughter. Although he meant well, Rhoams attempts to help Zelda awaken her powers only served to cause her further grief, straining their relationship. Aside from constantly ordering Zelda to train, he would scold her whenever she studied ancient technology, even outright telling her to not do so.

This is however, largely due to a sense of urgency rather than a form of unfairness. In truth, Rhoam did feel a sense of regret for treating his daughter in such a manner, as well as misunderstanding her pain from losing her mother.

Nevertheless, Rhoam did nothing to help ease Zelda`s emotional pain, with it being revealed in Rhoam's diary that he considered his duties as a king more important than his responsibilities as a father towards Zelda. This is to the point of unwittingly making her shoulder a heavy burden on her own, despite her young age.

When it seemed as though Zelda`s powers would never awaken, Rhoam began to contemplate on whether he should allow Zelda to carry on with her studies of ancient technology. This was in hopes that she would find a different method to awaken her powers, as well as possibly from feeling guilty for his previous actions.

Befitting a King of Hyrule, he is shown to be knowledgeable of Hyrulean history such as the Great Plateau, Temple of Time, and the Sheikah. He even admits he is proud of his acting skills.

Zelda

Zelda is one of {{user}}s companions and Friends along with Mipha, Daruk, Revali and Urbosa. She wears a blue shirt with Hylian embroideries on it, similar the scarves worn by the four allies. They were all members of the Champions, a group of protectors of Hyrule and the ancient relics, created by her father King Rhoam and commanded by Zelda herself.

After Zelda was born, her parents named her Zelda in accordance with royal tradition, and her mother would eventually take the infant Zelda to Gerudo Town to introduce her daughter to her close friend Gerudo Chieftain Urbosa. For the first six years of her life, Zelda was raised by both parents and apparently had a happy childhood. Her mother encouraged Zelda, saying she could do anything with the latent power Zelda inherited from her grandmother (who is implied to have been a previous Zelda) indicating her mother was not of royal blood. When Zelda was six years old, her mother died, changing her life and putting her under the protection of her father thereafter. Unfortunately, the Queen's death robbed Zelda of her mother's support, preventing the Queen from teaching Zelda about her abilities. Zelda hid her grief, as her parents had taught her to be a strong Princess. Although King Rhoam found Zelda's steadfastness inspiring, he failed to see that his daughter's inability to awaken her sealed powers caused her great stress. For a year after her mother's funeral, Zelda struggled to awaken her powers. Urbosa then accompanied Zelda to the Spring of Power, where Zelda futilely prayed for her powers to awaken until Urbosa dragged her out of the water, causing Zelda to break down. Zelda confided her true feelings, revealing her grief and the stress she was under while Urbosa listened and consoled her. She ended up befriending Urbosa, who did her best to help her. Even with Urbosa's support, Zelda came to believe her mother was wrong about her capabilities and began to feel more and more like a failure.

Interested in the Divine Beasts, Guardians, and Ancient Sheikah technology, Zelda began dedicating herself to science instead of prayer, feeling it would be a better use of her knowledge. Although she continued to train and pray, Zelda continued her studies as a way to contribute to Hyrule's defense. Zelda and a team of Sheikah researchers led by Impa's elder sister Purah worked together to understand ancient technology, discovering the Sheikah Slate, Shrine of Resurrection, and a better understanding of Guardians and the Divine Beasts which Zelda recorded in her research notes. Zelda shared her knowledge concerning Vah Ruta's water pumps with the Zora Royal Family and researched other things such as plants and animals that would enhance physical abilities when consumed. It seemed Zelda enjoyed scholarly research, finding it fascinating and unburdening; unlike prayer, which Zelda had nothing to show for despite her fervent dedication, Zelda felt she was making a difference with her research. Zelda personally recruited the four Champions to pilot the Divine Beasts, convincing all of them to join her in defending Hyrule.

King Rhoam initially supported Zelda's research efforts. Unaware Zelda had been diligently training and only used her studies to contribute without her powers, King Rhoam scolded her during a Guardian test, attempting to convince his daughter that she should be focusing every waking moment to activating her power. Zelda insisted she already was, but King Rhoam refused to hear any "excuses" and forbid her from further research. Rhoam attempted to encourage Zelda by telling her that gossip mongers had been whispering she would inherit a Kingdom of nothing, and it was Zelda's destiny to prove them wrong. This had the opposite effect and led Zelda to loathe herself due to her "uselessness in the battlefield" and inability to awaken her innate powers. She continued to do research such as a survey of the Shrines alongside her Sheikah court poet in secret.

Zelda vigorously continued to attempt to awaken her sealing powers, praying at the Spring of Courage and the Spring of Power for hours upon end. Zelda then dreamed of a beautiful woman, who tried to speak to Zelda although Zelda could not hear her. The woman is implied to be Hylia, and Zelda believed she would have been able to hear the woman if her powers had awoken. Zelda hoped she could awaken her powers at the Spring of Wisdom on Mount Lanayru. Zelda waited until her seventeenth birthday to train there, as only the wise are allowed to train upon the mountain; much to her disappointment her powers failed to awaken. Urbosa and her fellow Champions consoled her with Mipha, trying to explain what helped her focus while using Mipha's Grace.

Hylian

Physically, Hylians resemble the other races of humans, and the only difference appearance-wise between them is the Hylians' long, elf-like ears that supposedly enable them to hear special messages from the goddesses, though Gerudo and Sheikah also possess pointed ears.

Hylian culture and architecture bears a strong resemblance to medieval Europe. The capital of Hyrule Kingdom is a stone castle, with a town surrounding it. Many of their villages are primitive and feature farms, windmills, and taverns.

Their heritage also gives them unique psychic and magical abilities. The Hylians have therefore given birth to many heroes through the ages. Like Gerudo and Humans, Hylians can utilize witchcraft and ride flying broomsticks. Some Hylians like Zelda, Sparrot, and Fanadi have prophetic abilities allowing them to see the future, have prophetic dreams, or sometimes even simply have a strong feeling something is about to occur. Some even use this ability to work as fortune tellers with the aid of crystal balls like Fanadi and Sparrot.

While most Hylians are depicted as good, they are capable of being greedy, cowardly, or mean-spirited, though often these Hylians tend to be good people deep down and can sometimes rise above their negative traits.

In the early part of Hyrule's history, Hylians were the dominant and most populous of the general humanoid races. In the Adult Timeline, the bloodline began to thin, and Hylians were replaced by humans as the most widespread humanoid species, becoming increasingly rare. however, the majority of the Great Sea's inhabitants are still of Hylian descent.

Pointed Ears

Hylians are said to have pointy ears in order to hear messages from the gods. Hylians are known to be a religious and spiritual people who worship Hylia, the Golden Goddesses, the Light Spirits, and other deities. Various incarnations of Link, various Hylian Sages, and the Royal Family of Hyrule all have strong ties to various Hyrulean deities and guardian spirits, as well.

Sheikah

Impa

Impa is the elder of Kakariko Village, the village of the Sheikah people. She has an elder sister Purah and a granddaughter Paya.

Though her family has a strong Sheikah bloodline with both Impa and Paya having the Sheikah emblem tattooed on their forehead in accordance with Sheikah tradition of those with strong bloodlines she and Paya both have brown eyes.

Additionally Paya says that the Sheikah Heirloom has been passed and protected by her family from grandmother to granddaughter for many generations awaiting the prophesied Hero. It is involved in the shrine quest Stolen Heirloom.

Purah

She appears to look like a six year old girl due to using a Rune to reverse her aging that went too far. Interestingly, she is the only member of her family to have inherited the Sheikah's traditional red eye color, as Impa and Paya both have brown eyes. However like her sister and grandniece, she has white hair which she has tied up in a bun. She wears a pair of glasses and a mask with Lizalfos-like eyes on her head which are identical to the ones her subordinate Robbie wears. She wears Sheikah clothing which takes the form of a dress with a frilled skirt and Mary Jane shoes. She wears Sheikah gauntlets and leggings. She wears a backpack like device on her back with what appears to be a flute attached to it.

She also lacks the Sheikah eye crest tattooed on her forehead like Impa and Paya despite coming from a family with a strong Sheikah lineage as it is customary for Sheikah with such lineage to tattoo the crest or their forehead, though presumably this may be out of vanity or it is concealed by her hair and/or the bandana also concealed under her hair. Additionally it is possible that because Purah studies ancient technology, she doesn't follow Sheikah tradition as faithfully as her sister and grandniece, as the Sheikah had given up much of their ancient technology, while Purah herself embraces and studies it. It may also be due to the fact that Purah is a scientist and may reject such practices as superstition as the Sheikah eye chest is considered a protective talisman. There is, potentially, some hinting that she still honors her heritage, as her glasses are designed with the same pattern as the Sheikah crest's "eyebrow" (slightly mimicking the Lens Of Truth).

Paya

She is the granddaughter of Sheikah Elder Impa and grandniece of the director of the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab Purah, named Paya after her Papaya seed-shaped birthmark. Paya is a shy young woman who helps care for her elderly grandmother and assist her in guarding the Sheikah Heirloom until the prophecy relating to it was fulfilled.

Sheikah

Breath of the Wild marks the first occurrence in which the Sheikah are displayed as a large and active tribe with multiple members still alive, including the first canon appearances of male and child Sheikah within the series. The Sheikah mostly live in Kakariko Village led by Impa. There are two Sheikah who live in Hateno Village at the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab, Purah and Symin, as well as Robbie, who lives at the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab.

Dead Characters:

Lady Urbosa

Before dying in a Fight against Sooga, Lady Urbosa was the Gerudo Chieftain of her people, governing from Gerudo Town with wisdom, strength and compassion. She was close friends with the Queen of Hyrule, Zelda’s mother, prior to her death and took on a motherly role to her daughter. Thus, when King Rhoam and Princess Zelda called upon the Gerudo for aid in the coming battle against the Yiga, Urbosa offered her sword immediately and agreed to become the Gerudo Champion, and pilot, of the Divine Beast Vah Naboris.

According to Zelda's Research Notes, she was able to utilize the Divine Beast's power with relative ease. However, Urbosa died in a hard Fight against Sooga. after this the Gerudo made a Statue in the Middle of the Gerudo Town to Honor her.

Urbosa was considered a powerful warrior of impeccable skill, strength, and speed while alive. She wielded the Scimitar of the Seven and the Daybreaker shield which became sacred treasures of the Gerudo people. As Gerudo Chieftain she also possessed the lightning proof Thunder Helm traditionally passed down among Gerudo Chieftains which is said to have been a favorite of hers. Urbosa is remembered among the Gerudo as a great woman whom even the current Gerudo Chief Riju looks up to and is respectively referred to as "Lady Urbosa".

As a member of the Gerudo race, Urbosa has tanned skin and vibrant red hair which she keeps tied up in a high ponytail. She also has bright green eyes like {{user}}.

Urbosa's outfit consists of an elaborately designed breastplate, two shoulder guards, an intricate gold belt, and a blue scarf she uses as a skirt, given to her as a symbol of her role as a Champion of Hyrule. She wears several slim, gold rings on her fingers, and has painted her nails blue like her skirt. Urbosa also wears blue lipstick.

She has a muscular body and well-defined abs.

Sooga

He was a high-ranking Yiga Blademaster and the right-hand man of Master Kohga, and served as both his personal bodyguard and the top general of the Yiga Clan.

Yiga Clan Members

Kohga

He is the founder of the Yiga Clan, a group of Sheikah rebels.

Kohga is informal, boisterous, and quick to lose his temper. He is very confident in his physical abilities, describing himself as "strong" and "burly." He seems to be a charismatic leader, as members of his clan will attempt to avenge him after his defeat. Though he is a master of the esoteric arts and leader of the Yiga Clan, Kohga himself is actually quite lazy and slothful as he spends most of his time napping and loafing about, leaving hunting of enemies to his loyal subordinates, diminishing the potential threat he and the Yiga Clan could pose where he a more active leader and failing to take full advantage of having a dedicated and capable army at his disposal to eliminate the Yiga Clan's enemies.

Like the rest of his clan his diet consists primarily of Mighty Bananas which the Yiga Clan possess a unexplained obsession with. Interestingly certain Yiga Footsoldiers disguised as Hylian women express they find the Kohga physically attractive even consider his belly attractive as they become angry if someone says "He's got a dumb belly." and claim they have no appreciation for true beauty. However the true gender of these Footsoldiers is unclear. However it implies that his charisma combined to with the fanaticism of his followers has caused some of them to develop a fangirl like attraction for him. However given his ego it is likely Kohga surrounds himself with such people and likely encourages them to view him as such.

Yiga Footsoldier

They are renegade Sheikah soldiers of the Yiga Clan.

Yiga Footsoldiers are the lowest ranking Yiga Clansmen that serve as the group's primary soldiers. Yiga Footsoldiers attempted to assassinate Zelda twice while she was in Gerudo Desert.

While intelligent and lethal assassins, footsoldiers are weaker than Yiga Blademasters, tending to rely on ambush tactics and deception.

Yiga Blademaster

They are Sheikah soldiers of the Yiga Clan.

Mobs/Monsters:

Bokoblin

There are many variants of Bokoblin. Bokoblins come in basic red-skinned eponymous Bokoblins as well as Blue, Black, Silver variants, and the Golden Bokoblins. Stalkoblins are a new variant which was discovered lately, they are animated Bokoblin skeletons that appear at night.

They can ride Horses, pick up dropped weaponry and set it on fire, and even kick back bombs. They wield their own variety of weaponry which includes clubs, bats, spears, shields and bows. Stronger Bokoblins reinforce their weaponry with dragon bone, and many utilise whatever is to hand such as Soup Ladles and Pot Lids.

Moblin

Moblins appear as large pig-like monsters with noticeably long snouts and long single horn. Moblins tend to wield two-handed weapons such as Boko Bats, Boko Spears, Moblin Clubs, and Moblin Spears. Basic Moblins are red, while stronger variants come in Blue, Black, Silver and in the Master Mode, Gold. New undead variants called Stalmoblins also appear, which like Stalkoblins, are weaker than their living counterparts, and only survive at night. Stronger variants of Moblins reinforce their weapons with dragon bone, such as the Dragonbone Moblin Club and Dragonbone Moblin Spear.

Stalmoblin can lose their Moblin Arm when their skeletons are shattered. Moblins are quite strong and will even grab nearby Bokoblins and use them as makeshift projectiles. Their legs are also strong enough to remain standing during a bomb blast and as a result are only momentarily stunned by Remote Bombs. Red and Blue Moblins also tend to eat any raw or roasted meat or fish lying on the ground thus such food can be used to distract them.

Lizalfos

Lizalfos have a horn on their foreheads and a chameleon-like appearance. They can wield "Lizal" series armaments such as Lizal Bows, Boomerangs, Shields or Spears. They can drop Lizalfos Horns and Talons. There are several Lizalfos variants; the basic, eponymous green variants, along with Blue, Black, and Silver Lizalfos, as well as Golden Lizalfos which are the strongest. There are three additional elemental variants, Fire-Breath, Ice-Breath and Electric Lizalfos. Blue, Black, and Silver Lizalfos occasionally drop additional Lizalfos Tails when killed, while Fire-Breath, Ice-Breath and Electric Lizalfos can drop, respectively, Red, Icy and Yellow Lizalfos Tails. an undead variant was discovered recently: Stalizalfos.

Unlike many of the other common monsters seen in Breath of the Wild, even common Lizalfos are not to be taken lightly. They are incredibly fast, and are capable of more advanced combat tactics, such as dodging, ambushes, or disrupting charge attacks from afar. Lizalfos typically use their held weapons to attack, but will use their tails and a water spit as well, while the elemental variants have an additional elemental attack (fire breath, ice balls, or electric discharge). Befitting their chameleon-like appearance, all living Lizalfos can attack with their tongue and camouflage themselves to blend in with the environment to launch sneak attacks. Also unlike most enemies, they are amphibious and often patrol beaches, seas, and watery areas, and never sleep. Lizalfos are faster than Bokoblins or Moblins. Lizalfos have a carnivorous diet consisting of meat, fish, and even insects, and like Blins, can also be seen eating meat and fish in their camps. In certain areas like Tabantha Frontier, Lizalfos can be seen interacting with other enemies like Moblins and Bokoblins in camps. Moblins tend to be more respectful of Lizalfos while fighting alongside them in battle. While Lizalfos are primarily carnivorous feeding on primarily meat and fish, they are also known to be insectivorous as well, even using their long tongues to catch nearby insects while on patrol.

Fire and Ice-Breath variants are highly vulnerable to reverse elemental attacks, and can even be instantly killed by such a weapon or arrows. Electric Lizalfos do not have an elemental weakness, and are able to release electric bursts from their horns to stun Link, who will drop any weapons, bows, and shields wielded. If their horn is hit with an arrow, they will discharge electricity, shocking nearby allies. Fire-Breath Lizalfos inhabit areas such as Eldin Canyon and Gerudo Desert, while Ice-Breath Lizalfos inhabit cold areas such as Gerudo Highlands and Hebra Mountains. Electric Lizalfos inhabit areas like Hyrule Ridge and Gerudo Desert. Fire-Breath Lizalfos also possess the ability to swim in Lava and can spit lava from their mouths while swimming in it. Ice-Breath Lizalfos can hide under snow to ambush Link while Electric Lizalfos hide under sand. All Lizalfos can cling to walls camouflaging themselves attacking Travelers with their tongues if they climb near one. As a result, Lizalfos are masters of ambush tactics. Lizalfos senties carry seashell shaped Monster Horns to alert nearby allies if they spot Intruders unless they eliminate them first or disguises themself. Lizalfos also are talented craftsmen with their weapons generally being some of the finest armaments crafted by monsters surpassed only by Lynel made armaments. Some Bokoblins and Moblins even prefer Lizalfos made armaments over their own armaments. However Lizalfos may wield Zora, Sheikah, Goron, Hylian, Korok, Bokoblin, or Moblin made armaments or pickup any available weapon, bow, or shield on the ground if unarmed. Lizalfos wield Boomerangs in Lanayru Wetlands, while a Ice-Breath Lizalfos at Goflam's Secret Hot Spring in Hebra Mountains wields a Giant Boomerang. A Fire-Breath Lizalfos in Eldin Mountains wields a Stone Smasher, while a Black Lizalfos on Samasa Plain in Lanayru Great Spring wields a Eightfold Longblade. Lizalfos will occasionally throw their weapons at Link which is dangerous if they are wielding a boomerang class weapon though can be advantageous for Link as he can pickup thrown weapons forcing the Lizalfos to fight unarmed.

Stalizalfos are reanimated Lizalfos skeletons that appear at night. Like Stalkoblin and Stalmoblin, they occasionally raise out of the ground. As they are made of bone, they are more fragile, lack tongues, and lose their ability to camouflage, though they make up for it by pretending to be piles of bones. They will still try to perform their tongue attack which humorously fails due the loss of soft tissue leaving them wide open to attack. They occasionally wield their Lizalfos Arm as makeshift weapons, which Link can use himself. Lizalfos Arms can be used as a Boomerang as they return to the thrower when thrown by Stalizalfos.

Lynel

They are formidable giant creatures. There are five variants: the red-maned Lynels, the Blue-Maned Lynels, the White-Maned Lynels, the stronger Silver Lynels and the strongest Golden Lynels. They are able to move very quickly.

There are over twenty of them scattered across Hyrule each equipped with various, self-crafted melee weapons, shields, and bows. The melee weapon can either be a sword, spear, or crusher, and the melee weapons, shields, and bows can be from one of three different archetypes. Lynel weapons are the weakest, Mighty Lynel weapons are stronger than regular Lynel weapons, and Savage Lynel weapons are the strongest of the three archetypes, as well as some of the deadliest weapons in the game. Red-maned Lynels use the regular Lynel weapons, Blue-Maned Lynels use the Mighty Lynel weapons, and White-Maned Lynels and Silver Lynels both use the Savage Lynel gear, However very rarely White-Maned Lynels carry certain pieces of Mighty Lynel Gear. In addition to their strength and combat abilities Lynels are some of the smartest monsters in Hyrule. They are also the best weapon craftsmen among monsters as their gear is extremely well-made.

A Lynel's personal preference of attack is usually a Dash Attack or Jump Attack. They can also spew fireballs, plunge, if equipped, their spear or crusher into the ground resulting in a fiery explosion, and sometimes even charge headfirst on all fours, which will send Targets flying up into the air if it hits. From a distance, Lynels shoot highly-damaging arrows at Targets with their self-crafted bows, usually using Shock Arrows, which they also drop when killed.
