    Thanks to Star Trek: Fleet Command for sponsoring today's video! Go to strms.net/startrek_thetonyexpress to download Star Trek: Fleet Command
    This is the "pilot episode" of a new series I'm calling Hyrule History (or something like that) I hope you enjoy! What would you like to see broken down like this in the next episode?

    The Moblins are one of my favorite enemies. The Wind Waker was my first Zelda and they were so goofy but intimidating.

    the entire time i played through Wind waker, i mentally referred to both bokoblins and moblins as moblins. the wind waker ones remind me of bulls, and the botw/totk ones remind me of a cow. i don’t really like the look of them wearing the hat-like horns in Totk, but i understand that it’s necessary for us to have moblin horns.
    Edit: i never noticed the pants colors or the party hat-like horns on the WW ones, wow!
    one more edit: in WW, there’s a moblin that Maggie, one of the hylian girls who was kidnapped from Windfall Island, falls in love with during her captivity in the Forsaken Fortress. He gave her a lot of skull necklaces that her dad sold to make money and get them out of poverty. The moblin, named Moe, wrote her a letter in response to her letter and says he likes her so much he wants to eat her. she takes this as a marriage proposal and plans to leave Windfall to go back to the Forsaken Fortress, but she decides that she can’t leave her dad.

    I like how you kept calling the botw moblins a mix of dog and pig and I'm like... aardvarks. They look a lot like aardvarks lol. I'd be surprised if those lil critrers didnt influence their design even a little.
    (granted, aardvarks do look like a messed up dog/pig hybrid LOL)

    Strongly recommend upscaling the pixelart with a linear/nearest neighbor scaling. It makes the pixelart almost unrecognizable otherwise!

    You mentioned that the Legend of Zelda is the only game in the series where you can talk with friendly moblins. There's also the one who gives you the boomerang and Link's Awakening. Not trying to be that guy, just adding to the conversation.

      @@michaelmann7816 That was my first thought but I looked it up and it looks like it was a moblin who gave Link the boomerang.
      Edit: although a lot of websites mark him as a moblin, it looks like the original official Nintendo player's guide for Link's Awakening confirms that the individual who gives link the boomerang is Goriya. I was too lazy to track down the PDF originally, but I'd say that's about as official as it gets. Good call.

    Correction! Link’s awakening takes place in the real world of TLOZ buuuut SPOILER ALERT
    the island and all its inhabitants are only brought to reality by the sleeping Wind fish. So they are very much real in the way they can actually interact with the real world and they actually “exist” but they only exist as long as the wind fish is asleep

    I just realized that, despite the spelling being a mistake, the could easily explain it away in universe by saying that molblins and moblins are two different creatures. The spelling change was made in ALttP, as was their appearance changing from dogs to pigs. Also, since bokoblins look more like molblins, maybe they are an evolved molblin?

    • @TheZeldaEnthusiast
      @TheZeldaEnthusiast  3 місяці тому +2

      Molblins I don't think was a mistake as much as a change in english spelling, but having that extra L is apparently closer to the Japanese word.

    I would need to check BoTW again, but if I'm not mistaken, the moblins in ToTK also got an improvement to their move where they swing their spear in a big sweep in front of them - they seem to repeat this move more times before giving up and trying something else if they haven't hit you yet.

    • @TheZeldaEnthusiast
      @TheZeldaEnthusiast  3 місяці тому +2

      Yeah, not sure either. I would think they do the sweeping spear swing the same in both games, but it's entirely possible that they changed things up a bit
