Making their first official 3D appearance, Hinox appear as bosses found in different locations across Hyrule Kingdom in Breath of the Wild typically in a clearing, asleep. In this game, Hinox are found in red, blue, and black varieties, depending on strength. They are depicted as giant Bokoblin-like creatures with a single eye in their forehead, wearing a necklace strung with several pieces of equipment as decoration (and in some cases, orbs needed to open nearby Shrines); if Link sneaks up on them, he can steal the equipment from the necklace without being detected. They are the largest enemy to be found in the overworld. They spend most of their time sleeping, only engaging Link when woken. Once awake, they will use physical attacks such as swipes and punches and pull up nearby Trees in order to toss them at Link.
