You have to think about enemies in terms of what mechanics they bring to the table and how interesting their design is.

Vires are obviously a product of their time taking in mind this is how they look in the original Zelda. It's basically a triangle with wings, horns/ears and 4 sprites that represent multiple eyes.
It's just enough to make it look like a monster with that little resolution. It jumps around and when you kill it, 2 keeses spawn, which makes it different to deal it than the rest and represent a challenge that can escalate things in a room.

Now, when translating this design to later games it's understandable they discarded it. Design-wise there's not much going on with him beside being a basic bat-like imp with 4 eyes, and the mechanic of jumping around and becoming 2 bats when killed isn't too interesting at this point in the franchise. Also it wouldn't work too well in the 3D games because it would look kind of absurd to see 2 tiny bats pop out of the guy when you kill it after jumping around for a bit. I've checked the gameboy version of Vires and they really are not Vires at that point since they don't look at all like the original nor do the same mechanically.

Oktoroks take the cake for iconic enemy in the franchise yes.

I don't think it's as much about ganondorf using this retards but rather them following him.

95% of zelda fans probably couldn't name this thing 4 years ago. Now he's the most memorable and feared monster in hyrule.

>>appears in every game other than TP

What I love most about this is that TP has an enemy that's literally just an Octorock, but because they don't call it an Octorock TP is the only game in the series without Octorocks.

This made me hungry ngl

I’m more impressed they did it out of watercolour

>tfw kid me spent years traversing Hyrule Field only at night because I would rather deal with the gangs of skeletons than these fuckers.

You mean that water temple fish?

I was very surprised they included Lynels in the game. I just wish they were not damage sponges because they get kind of trivial once you learn the flurry rush and parry timings and the only thing that can kill you is you getting bored and desperate. Other than that, extremely cool retake on the enemy. Really dig how dangerous they were made to be.

Genshin is better.

Every time.

Moblins exist since first game user

I wish my fem shiekah D&D character gets gangbanged by a bunch of those pig gobbo boys.

I think user is talking about these
there's a fire version too
interestingly, even though SS had (several) octoroks they also had a version of this toadpoli enemy in the form of (several) spumes

Because it's basically the ONLY enemy wwwwwww

hey look I saw this guy in Genshin Impact!

>once you learn the flurry rush and parry timings
I'm a boomer with shitty reactions so I'll never be able to beat them or the harder guardians. Feels bad man. I wanted Zelda not Dark Souls.

that's not a moblin

Those things did scare me when I first played the game. I couldn't help but mess with them, too, so they always came after me.
