Goriya from Legend of Zelda

The Goriya is a recurring enemy type from the Legend of Zelda series. They debuted in the Legend of Zelda (1986) and returned in the next two games, Legend of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (1987) and Zelda: A Link to the Past (1991).

After the first Zelda games they only  returned in Zelda: Oracle of Seasons (2001) where they also formed a Mini Boss as the Goriyas Brothers and Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (2013). They were also in the CD-I Zelda games by Philips.

The Goriya are using the Boomerang weapon against Link usually (The only exception so far were the Goriya in ALTTP where they copy Link’s movements instead). Their visual design is making them demon or devil like in most games. In Oracle of Seasons they looked more Bull-like however.
