Big Blins are enemies from The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. Giant club-wielding Blins, they slightly resemble Club Moblins from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Appearances

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

Big Blins can take a large amount of damage, and deal massive amounts of damage to Link. They also do not flinch from Link's attacks, meaning Link cannot stop them from retaliating. Their swings can send Link flying a great distance, and knock him dizzy.

To defeat them, Link must take advantage of their slow reaction speed by darting in, attacking, and running away before the designated Big Blin swings its club. The swing of their club is so wide that if there are several Big Blins fighting Link at the same time, they will often hit each other with their clubs as they try to attack Link. They seem to show no regard towards friend or foe, striking anything in their way.

The Pirate Hideout's Stamp depicting a Big Blin

Much the same way as Moblins from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker wear Skull Necklaces, Big Blins wear Pirate Necklaces, though Link cannot steal these necklaces in this game. It is said that Pirate Necklaces can only be worn by one who is destined to become the leader of the pirates. This is fitting, as Big Blins appear in the Pirate Hideout and attack Link and Carben on the Spirit Train using a Cannon Boat, leading the Miniblin pirates.

Interestingly, a Big Blin is depicted on the Stamp for the Pirate Hideout.

Video

The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes

Though Big Blin do not appear in Tri Force Heroes, they are mentioned in the description for Blin Bling, which are based on the Pirate Necklaces worn by Big Blin.
