Let's now discuss every Zelda: TotK enemy you might expect to encounter:

Zelda: The Last Airbenders

It should come as no surprise that Hyrule has a large number of new opponents to defeat given its extensive expansion. We've listed every enemy we've encountered so far in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, even though we're still slogging through the game to discover more. You'll be happy to hear that some of them are available in rare brown, black, silver, and gold varieties!

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Horriblin

 
These new enemies camp on cave ceilings and attack you from afar. Fire an arrow at their head for a critical hit and they drop down, waiting for you to come in and lay a killer blow. They can be a bit hard to spot, so keep your eyes open for their rustling.
 

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Boss Bokoblin

 
Boos Bokoblins are massive bokoblins – like five times the size – who waddle around with a horn and throw stones at you. Their best technique is when they corral the smaller bokoblins into formation in front of them – creating a line of defence the little guys wouldn’t normally be able to organise. Aim for their big red nose for a critical hit and you should be fine.

 

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Aerocuda

 
Aerocudas are thrilling airborne enemies. They fly around high above Hyrule, and if they spot you, you better be ready. If you’re gliding high in the sky, they barrel towards you in a spin and can send you hurtling down. Be ready to dodge by dropping off the paraglider for a second – then use Link’s slow-mo arrow ability while falling to land a killer blow.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Soldier Construct

Soldier Constructs are the violent robot enemies you meet at the beginning. Unlike their friendly counterparts who cook food, cut down trees, and hunt, these guys are all about protecting Zonai spaces. They fight in a straightforward way – there’s no real gimmick here. Just buckle up and aim for the head.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Captain Construct

 
Captain Constructs are similar to Soldier Constructs except they can also fuse items to a weapon. When you see them raise up one arm and a blue fusion beam connecting the tip of their weapon to something else, aim for the eye in the center of their head and get a critical hit – this will cancel the fuse and set them up for an easy fight.
 
 
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s Flux constructs are excellently inventive minibosses littered throughout the sky islands. Completely made of cubes, they start out as humanoid colossuses. They have one cube in their makeup that is a different color – this is the critical point to aim for. Around halfway through the fight, these cube-based humanoid robots turn into floating UFO-like platforms – find a way to get up high and wail away on their critical point and victory should be yours.
 
 
 

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Gloom hands

 
Gloom Hands are horrible and you should run if you see them. They are tough to take down, corrupt Link’s hearts, and are just pretty darn scary looking. If you do want to go for a fight, aim for the glowing eyes in the palms and pepper them with bombs. Be aware, some instances of gloom hands can lead to a second phase of battle where Phantom Ganon pops out. No, we’re not joking. 
 
 

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Gleeoks

We have our own boss fight with these enraged dragons since they're unlike your typical foe. Zelda: Gleeoks' Tears for the Kingdom guidance, but it's important to bring them up here so you can be aware of them. Taken on by one of these animals, with their three elemental heads spraying fire, ice, or lightning at Link, is an enormous struggle.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Bubbulfrogs

If you want to get your hands on some Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom bubbul gems, then it’s time to hunt for Bubbulfrogs. You can often find these fast-moving enemies in caves, so be sure to bring a bow and a few arrows to land the one hit you need from a distance.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Gibdo

The closest to a mummy you’re going to find in Hyrule, Gibdo’s gather around Gerudo Town to attack those that live there. Fortunately, Gibdo’s don’t like fire or lightning, so you can use attacks embracing these elements to get rid of the nasty group. Oh, also, there are some that fly. Have fun!

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Battle talus

Not everyone in Tears of the Kingdom can build, except Link. On top of certain taluses, cunning creatures have established a home, resulting in the creation of a Battle Talus that carries planks and fortifications. These are more difficult, but with Link's new ascend ability, you can overcome them and then cause mayhem.

Zelda: The Kingdom's Tears Mini Frox and large Frox

These reptile-like animals, which may be found in the depths, have one eye in the middle of their foreheads. The larger ones may pull Link into their jaws and appear as bosses, while the smaller ones are easier to handle. When exploring the dark depths, be cautious since these creatures have the ability to leap a great distance.
