Are enemys totally emotionless

[Link_2_2]

I'v allways thought enemys were totaly emotionless.Think about it,all types of enemys will run,attack,dress,and talk the same way.I just want your opinan on the sudject.

[Ralphie]

My opinan(lawl) is that enemies are eeeevuuul, so they dont really need emotions. And often the enemies you fight work for someone, like Ganondorf, he probebly tells everyone how to run,attack,dress,and talk. Even though the enemies dont talk oO

[monkeybob34]

yeah i don't think the enemies have really any free will so why would they be showing much emotion especially sice they have to work for an evil wizard who will smite them if they show any emotion

I always thought that more explanation should be added behind the monsters link faces. They are always so random. And i think that the reason why they do not show emotion would be to make it easier to kill them. Killing a monster and killing something with human emotions and reactions that the player could identify with would produce different effects. It's like, "oh, look a goblin thing" *slice* and thats that. But like in Oot when I shot down gerudo girls with arrows they made a little yelp which made me, as the player, feel different about it.

They are under Ganondorf's orders or something, sort of like the Orcs in Lord of the Rings. All they do is just attack and kill in their path without any signs of empathy or anything.

I guess it is just in their nature to act the way they do. Maybe the monsters in Hyrule are the same to this.

They are certainly not emotionless.

- Some Bosses such as Ganondorf/Vaati/Yeta clearly show emotions
- In WW there is a Moblin that writes loveletters
- The Moblins in LoZ who give you money, clearly fear that someone finds out that they helped Link. That's why they say that Link should keep it a secret.
- Shadowmessengers in TP were once human beings, that means that they once had feelings

I guess more evolved/human like enemies such as Moblins, Zoras, Gerudo-Guards ,the Stalfos enemies in Ikana, corrupted beings (e.g. Yeta and Fyrus), the Gorons you fight in TP, and bosses such as Vaati and Ganondorf have emotions.
The more animal/monster like enemies probably have less or no emotion.

Wells that's pretty much all I was going to say. Another mayby not monster, but enemy for sure with emotions are the Garo. "to die wihout leaving a corpse, that is the way of us Garo." That is in my opinion one of the most emotional enemies for that reason.

I'm against giving ordinary enemies emotions. It makes it harder to kill them. However I do think it's a good idea to show examples of friendly NPC's of a typically hostile species. However I think it's a good idea to give the enemies a motive. For example in TP the Bulbins were only working with Ganondorf becuase they "Follow the strongest" meaning the have a need for leadership and protection.

[MidnightSun]

King Bulbin showed some emotions.

[Link_2_2]

In may opinan the Bulbin talk,they make sort of a growling sound,it's good anuff for me.

[Elshape]

moblins(on tww) they can be scared of you if you hit them with an arrow/bomb and if he sees it again he runs, fear IS(against common belief)an emotion

And to add onto this list, there's one more I'd like to mention:

In LA: DX (in the Animal Village) if you have the Magnifying Glass, you'll be able to see a River Zora standing in a pool (inside a house). Talk to him, and he'll take a picture with you.


Yes, the majority of enemies are drones that only think of attacking you. But there are a few out there that still have some emotion in them to help out Link in some way.

Want to see emotion? go to Cave of Ordeals. Snipe a bulbin with your bow. Any bublbins shooting at you will put away their bows and look at their fallen comrade until he dissapeasrs. Now that is emotion.

[CurryMonster]

Moblins get pretty emotional when I come at them with bombs in TWW.
