Description
The largest monster to make its home in Hyrule, the Hinox lives primarily in forested areas. A keen awareness of your surroundings is paramount when facing one, as Hinox are known for tearing entire trees from the ground and using them as weapons. Black Hinox wear metal greaves that conduct electricity rather well. A deft hand can steal weapons off the necklaces they wear.

Black Hinox are the strongest versions of Hinox found in Breath of the Wild. They wear greaves on their legs, similar to Blue Hinox, but their metal composition makes Black Hinox vulnerable to electric attacks.[3] Like all other Hinox, their eyes are weak to attacks. When defeated, they drop Hinox Toenails, Hinox Teeth, Hinox Guts, and a range of cooked meats.

As part of "The Three Giant Brothers" Shrine Quest, Link must retrieve an Ancient Orb from each of the three Hinox on Mount Taran, either by sneaking or by defeating them. The Oldest Kin is a Black Hinox, located in the Rabella Wetlands.

After Link defeats Calamity Ganon and completes the "Destroy Ganon" Main Quest, Kilton will grant him the Medal of Honor: Hinox if he can defeat all of the Hinox in Hyrule, including Black Hinox.

Locations[]

Tears of the Kingdom[]

Black Hinoxes reappear in Tears of the Kingdom, acting mostly the same as in Breath of the Wild, but can also slam down on Link with the new horns on their heads.
