| + | '''Dr. Left''' is an eclectic, sedentary biologist whom is seen researching [[Cucco]]s in {{OOS}}, and the [[Minish|Picori]] in {{TMC}}. Although his character is significant to the plot in both games, he plays relatively minor roles. |
||
| − | '''Goriya''' are recurring enemies in the {{LZS|series}}, first appearing in {{TLoZ}}. They are a kind of demon that have mastered the [[Boomerang]] as a tool of war,<ref>{{cite manual|quote= A little devil that lives underground. He uses boomerangs.|game= The Legend of Zelda|page=36}}</ref><ref>{{cite manual|quote=A little devil that attacks Link by using a boomerang.|game= Adventure of Link|page=27}}</ref> making them deadly in both short- and long-range combat. |

||
| − | [[File:GoriyaRed.png|left]] |
||
| − | As with many enemies in the ''Legend of Zelda'', Goriya come in 'red' and 'blue' varieties, and only appear in [[Dungeon]]s. Blue Goriya can survive longer than the red variety, due to having more health, and their attacks do much more damage.<ref>{{Cite manual|quote= There are two of his type, blue ones and red ones. Watch out for the blue ones! They are strong.|game= The Legend of Zelda|page= 36}}</ref> They seem to not directly attack [[Link]], but instead wander around before tossing their Boomerang in a random direction. Goriya generally attack in groups of three or more. Link first finds the Boomerang by defeating a group of red Goriya in [[Eagle (Dungeon)|Eagle]], and later finds the [[Boomerang#Magical Boomerang|Magical Boomerang]] by defeating a group of blue Goriya in [[Moon (Dungeon)|Moon]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In certain dungeons, a hungry Goriya will be blocking the passage to the next room, and when talked to, their stomachs grumble,<ref>{{Cite|GRUMBLE, GRUMBLE.|Hungry Goriya's Stomach|TLOZ}}</ref> vaguely hinting that the creature is hungry. They will refuse to budge until fed. To satisfy the monster and obtain entry, Link must offer it [[Food]] purchased from a shop. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===''The Adventure of Link''=== |
||
| − | [[File:GoriyaTAoLorange.png|37px|left]] |
||
| − | The side-scrolling angle of {{TAoL}} changes typical Goriya attack patterns. Instead of tossing their projectiles in random directions, they specifically target Link, and can have multiple Boomerangs in the air at one time, unlike their past incarnations. They can throw Boomerangs on either the "bottom" or "top" level, in the same way most bipedal enemies attack. Depending on the Boomerang's height, Link must choose to duck or stand to block the attacks with his shield.<ref>{{Cite manual|quote=Fend off the Boomerang with shield.|game=Adventure of Link|page=27}}</ref> If a Boomerang is thrown at the bottom level, it will return to the Goriya on the top level, and vice versa. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Goriya now tend to appear in caves and fields<ref>{{cite manual|quote=These devils are on the plains and in the caves too.|game= Adventure of Link|page=27}}</ref> more often than dungeons, and generally only appear alone or with a single partner instead of larger groups, perhaps due to the fact that they are now more challenging opponents. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===''A Link to the Past''=== |
||
| − | [[File:Goriya ALttP.png|left|48px]] |
||
| − | In {{ALTTP}}, Goriya are radically different from their previous appearances. Known as in Japan as "Coppie", they first appear in the [[Palace of Darkness]] and reappear in later [[Dark World]] dungeons such as [[Ganon's Tower]]. Their typical behavior and attacks have been changed drastically. They no longer use Boomerangs, but instead copy Link's movement pattern, similar to [[Arm-Mimic]]s and [[Mask-Mimic]]s, moving in the opposite direction of Link. While the green Goriya can be cornered and destroyed with the [[Master Sword]], they are especially weak to the [[Bow]], much like the [[Eyegore]]s from the same game. The red variety spit deadly fireballs whenever facing Link, and similar to red Eyegores, they can only be killed with [[Arrow]]s. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In the original [[SNES]] version of the game, Goriya make a single appearance in the [[Light World]] in a cave in [[Death Mountain]]. In the [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past & Four Swords|Game Boy Advance]] version, they were replaced with Eyegores in the Light World, thus they only appear in the Dark World in that version. |

||
| − | [[File:Goriya Home.png|thumb|right|Goriya's cave in Toronbo Shores]] |
||
| − | [[File:GoriyaLA.png|left]] |
||
| − | Though only one appears in {{LA}}, this Goriya is not an enemy, and even offers Link a powerful item. He is found in a cave on the southern portion of [[Toronbo Shores]]. Link can only see and speak with him at the end of the [[Link's Awakening Trading Sequence|trading sequence]], when he has the [[Magnifying Lens]]. At this point, the Goriya offers to trade Link a [[Boomerang]] he found on the beach for one of his items.<ref>{{Cite|I found a good item washed up on the beach... I'll trade it to you for what you have in your B Button...|Goriya|LA}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|You got the Boomerang in exchange for the item you had.|N/A|LA}}</ref> Link can trade the Boomerang back to the Goriya at any time to recover his item.<ref>{{Cite|Okay, let's do it! When you don't want the Boomerang any more, come back!|Goriya|LA}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|The item came back to you. You returned the Boomerang.|N/A|LA}}</ref> The Boomerang is one of the most useful weapons in the game, and the Goriya will even beg Link to give it back to him after the trade.<ref>{{Cite|Give me back the Boomerang, I beg you! I'll return the item you gave to me!|Goriya|LA}}</ref> Not all items can be traded for the Boomerang.<ref>{{Cite|Ah... Don't give me that item... How about something else?|Goriya|LA}}</ref> |

+ | [[File:OOS DrLeft.png|left|Dr. Left]] |
| + | Dr. Left first appears as a [[Cucco]]-studying biologist living in a southeastern residence of [[Horon Village]] in {{OOS}}. In return for lighting his [[torch]] with [[Mystical Seeds#Ember Seeds|Ember Seeds]], he rewards [[Link]] with a [[Oracle of Seasons Trading Sequence#Cuccodex|Cuccodex]],<ref>{{Cite|Hmm... The light in here is too dim to read by. Can anyone light my fire? [...] Splendid! I can finally focus! Here! Take this Cuccodex!|Dr. Left|OOS}}</ref> the first item in the [[Oracle of Seasons Trading Sequence|trading sequence]]. Whenever Link speaks with him afterwards, the doctor will feed him seemingly random facts about characters or monsters found throughout [[Holodrum]]. All his tidbits of knowledge begin with the characteristic phrase, "My books tell me..." |
||
| − | Goriya appear again as enemies in the {{OoX}},<ref>{{cite book|quote={{exp|Goriya|'''ゴーリア'''}}<br>投げてくるブーメランは、剣で弾くことができない。遠距離から飛ひ道具で攻撃しよう。|book={{exp|The Legend of Zelda: Nut of the Mysterious Tree Chapter of the Earth Nintendo Official Guidebook|ゼルダの伝説 ふしぎの木の実 大地の章 任天堂公式ガイドブック}}|publisher=Shogakukan|page=124}}</ref> first appearing in the [[Gnarled Root Dungeon]]. In this game, they look identical to [[Moblin]]s, suggesting a relation between the two types of monster. They behave like their original incarnations in ''The Legend of Zelda''; wandering around the room and suddenly throwing Boomerangs to attack Link. Many of the enemies that appear in the [[Gnarled Root Dungeon]] evoke those that appeared in the [[Eagle (Dungeon)|Eagle]] dungeon of the original NES adventure, and these are no exception. |

| − | [[File: |

| + | Dr. Left later appears in {{TMC}}. Instead of researching Cuccos, he instead seems more interested in learning about the mysterious [[Minish|Picori]] race (better known as the "Minish").<ref>{{Cite|I am a researcher of Picori legend and lore. My name is Dr. Left.|Dr. Left|TMC}}</ref> He is the owner of the overdue [[Library Books|Library Book]], "''Legend of the Picori''", which Link must locate within Dr. Left's home and return to the [[Royal Hyrule Library|library]].<ref>{{Cite|The next overdue book is... Let's see... Ah, yes! Of course...Legend of the Picori! It's been out forever! It was checked out by a somewhat absentminded scholar, I believe...|Royal Hyrule Librarian|TMC}}</ref> Before Link has to find the overdue library book, Dr. Left will not allow him into his house, as he is absorbed in his incessant study of the Minish race.<ref>{{Cite|What is all of this!? I'm busy, don't you see that? Do not disturb my research! If you have no business, begone! You heard me!|Dr. Left|TMC}}</ref> Ironically, Dr. Left is oblivious to the Minish living within his own home.<ref>{{Cite|The more I study the Minish, the closer I feel to them! It's almost as if they were right here with me, all the time...|Dr. Left|TMC}}</ref> On occasion, Dr. Left will part with some seemingly valuable and exclusive information on the Minish, gleaned from hours of study.<ref>{{Cite|You found and returned the book for me, did you? I'm very grateful. Here, let me tell you something interesting as thanks. You see, the Minish did not always live in our world. No, they came through a secret portal many ages ago from their world to ours! But don't tell anyone! It's a valuable bit of knowledge that only I know! And I gleaned it only after hours of study from an incredibly old book.|Dr. Left|TMC}}</ref> This knowledge is laughingly inferior to what is already known by Link, due to his regular encounters with the Minish race on his adventures. |
||
| − | Goriya in {{ALBW}} behave quite similarly to Goriya in ''Link to the Past'', with the exception that they do not mimic Link's movements; instead, they tend to walk directly towards him when they see him. In this game, Goriya can only be found in the [[Dark Palace]] and [[Treacherous Tower]]. |

| − | [[File:Goriya (The Moblins Are Revolting).png|right|thumb|250px|Goriya as seen in the animated series]] |
||
| − | Goriya appear in two episodes of the [[The Legend of Zelda (TV series)|animated series]]. In ''[[That Sinking Feeling]]'', [[Ganon]] commands a Goriya to search for the [[Overworld Magnet]] and to use it to drag [[Link]] and [[Princess Zelda]] into the [[Underworld]].<ref>{{cite episode|quote= Oh... Ganon gonna be mad.

||
| + | ==Trivia== |
||
| − | In ''[[The Moblins are Revolting]]'', two Goriya and two [[Moblin]]s work together to attack Link while he is in his room reading a comic. However, due to their clumsiness, the creatures defeat each other without Link even having to intervene. Back at the [[Evil Jar]] in the Underworld, the Moblins complain that it was the Goriyas' fault, and the monsters start fighting until Ganon zaps them. Tired of having to take the blame for Ganon's failed plans, a Goriya suggests that they would do a better job without him,<ref>{{cite episode|quote=Uh, why? We can do better. Let's kick him out!|name=Goriya|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=The Moblins are Revolting}}</ref> thus forming the alliance known as the [[Brotherhood of Underworld Monsters]]. Later on, when all of Ganon's followers begin their attack on [[North Castle]], a Goriya can be seen commanding an army of [[Vire]]s to carry several [[Octorok]]s and fire bombs inside the castle,<ref>{{cite episode|quote=Uh, my Octobombers are gonna get them!|name=Goriya|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=The Moblins are Revolting}}</ref> but then begins arguing with another Goriya as to what their course of action should be.<ref>{{cite episode|quote=Airhead? Take this, potatobrain!|name=Goriya|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=The Moblins are Revolting}}</ref> Eventually, neither the Goriya nor the rest of the monsters accomplish anything meaningful, and they end up returning to Ganon's command in the Underworld. |
||
| + | *The name "Dr. Left" is a pun on a nearly-identical character who appeared in a [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|previous game]], [[Mr. Write]]. Of course, the pun on the words write being pronounced as right, and right and left being opposites. |
||
| + | *In {{OOA}}, [[Dr. Troy]] plays a similar role to that of Dr. Left; he will offer Link information about various characters and monsters throughout [[Labrynna]]. Dr. Troy speaks of the very same monsters as Dr. Left, with the exception of [[Golden Monsters]], which do not appear in {{OOA}}. |
||
| + | *Unlike almost all other [[human]]s in {{TMC}}, he refers to the Minish as "Minish" rather than "Picori". This is likely to demonstrate his knowledge of them compared to other humans. |
||
| + | *The game ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' states that Dr. Left is a mock-up of Sim City's Dr. Wright, not only due to the obvious link in last name, but also an uncanny likeness in hairstyle and color. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | Interestingly, although the Goriya in ''That Sinking Feeling'' seems to speak with poor grammar just like the rest of the Moblins, the Goriya seen in ''The Moblins are Revolting'' can be heard speaking very fluent English. |

| − | ===''Captain N: The Game Master''=== |
||
| + | <br> |
||
| − | A Goriya briefly appears in the ''[[Having a Ball]]'' episode of ''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]''. After [[Link]], [[Princess Zelda]], Kevin, and Princess Lana arrive at the tunnel leading to the [[Island Palace]], a Goriya appears and rapidly begins to throw boomerangs nonstop toward the heroes. The boomerangs impede the group's progress, so Link uses his [[Magic Shield]] to block the attacks while the rest of the party follows closely behind. As the heroes approach the Goriya, Kevin uses his Zapper to defeat it, allowing them to continue to their destination. |

| − | ===''The Legend of Zelda'' comic=== |

| − | In the [[The Legend of Zelda (Comic)|''Legend of Zelda'' comic]], Goriya resemble their depiction in ''Adventure of Link''. They first appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Comic)/Issue 1#Missing in Action|Missing in Action]]'' as one of the enemies that go after Princess Zelda and the Triforce of Wisdom. ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Comic)/Issue 2#To the First Power|To the First Power]]'' also shows these foes capturing Link outside one of the [[Underworld]] entrances under the orders of a [[Wizzrobe]], and are later seen attacking Princess Zelda while she is inside the [[Eagle Labyrinth]]. After Link manages to take the [[Triforce of Power]] from Ganon in ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Comic)/Issue 3#The Power|The Power]]'', several of Ganon's Goriya minions offer to serve Link, as they believe that he holds more power than their master,<ref>{{cite book|quote=Link has powerful magic!

Get out of here! |book=The Legend of Zelda|publisher=Valiant Comics|page=7}}</ref> However, when Link heads to a palace to search for Ganon, he is greeted outside by the same group of Goriya that had offered to serve him.<ref>{{cite book|quote=Link let Goriya serve him now?

| − | Goriya appear once again in ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Comic)/Issue 4#Queen of Hearts|Queen of Hearts]]'', where they battle against Link and [[Queen Seline]] to keep them from breaking the magic container that will give the queen her magical powers back. They last make an appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Comic)/Issue 5#Day of the Triforce|Day of the Triforce]]'' as two Goriya try to eat a captured [[Miff]] in Death Mountain.<ref>{{cite book|quote=Fairy made good snack!

| − | ===''The Crystal Trap''=== |
||
| − | [[File:Goriya TCT.png|left||120px|The Blue Goriya that attacks Link and Princess Zelda in ''The Crystal Trap'']] |
||
| − | In ''[[The Crystal Trap]]'', [[Princess Zelda]] and Link are attacked by a blue Goriya after the young hero has been freed from the [[Crystal]]. Zelda shoots an arrow from [[Zelda's Bow|her bow]] at the Goriya, injuring it, but it then goes on to say that if the pair spares his life, it will show them a powerful weapon: a [[Battle Axe]], which is the only thing that can defeat Ganon.<ref>{{cite book|quote='Spare me and I'll show you a powerful weapon,' the monster pleads. 'A battle axe. It's the only thing that can defeat Ganon, and I know where it is.'|book=The Crystal Trap|publisher=Archway|page=13}}</ref> If Link and Zelda agree to follow the Goriya, he will lead the pair into a massive room containing the Battle Axe. The Goriya will then disappear after Link grabs the axe. |
||
| − | |||
| − | After Princess Zelda and Link run into Ganon, the evil wizard will confess that he told the Goriya to lead the young heroes to the Battle Axe, since he knew that if they found the axe, Link and Zelda would stop searching for the real weapon that could defeat Ganon: the [[Spear]].<ref>{{cite book|quote='My axe, you mean,' says Ganon.

| − | ===''The Shadow Prince''=== |
||
| − | Goriya are briefly mentioned in ''[[The Shadow Prince]]''. When the [[King of Hyrule]] calls an urgent meeting to take the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] to the [[Fifth Castle of Ancient Hyrule]], he mentions that a recent thunderstorm caused Goriya to fall from the sky, most likely due to the fact that Ganon is becoming more powerful.<ref name=castle>{{cite book|quote='And a scout from Ruberry tells me a thunderstorm last week produced a hail of Goriyas!' 'Goriyas? From the sky?' Murmurs of disbelief run up and down the council table. The king nods.

| − | ===Philips CD-i=== |
||
| − | Goriya appear in all ''Zelda'' games for the [[Philips CD-i]]. In {{FOE}} and {{WOG}}, they have a similar appearance to the ones in the animated series. However, in {{ZA}}, they resemble purple apes with white hair that throw massive boomerangs. In this game, [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] can obtain the [[Spells of Zelda's Adventure#Boomerang|Boomerang]] the Goriyas use by defeating a small group of them in a clearing west of the [[Forest of Ogbam]]. |

Revision as of 04:37, 1 May 2016
Template:Character Dr. Left is an eclectic, sedentary biologist whom is seen researching Cuccos in Template:OOS, and the Picori in The Minish Cap. Although his character is significant to the plot in both games, he plays relatively minor roles.
Appearances
Oracle of Seasons
Dr. Left first appears as a Cucco-studying biologist living in a southeastern residence of Horon Village in Template:OOS. In return for lighting his torch with Ember Seeds, he rewards Link with a Cuccodex,[1] the first item in the trading sequence. Whenever Link speaks with him afterwards, the doctor will feed him seemingly random facts about characters or monsters found throughout Holodrum. All his tidbits of knowledge begin with the characteristic phrase, "My books tell me..."
The Minish Cap

Dr. Left later appears in The Minish Cap. Instead of researching Cuccos, he instead seems more interested in learning about the mysterious Picori race (better known as the "Minish").[2] He is the owner of the overdue Library Book, "Legend of the Picori", which Link must locate within Dr. Left's home and return to the library.[3] Before Link has to find the overdue library book, Dr. Left will not allow him into his house, as he is absorbed in his incessant study of the Minish race.[4] Ironically, Dr. Left is oblivious to the Minish living within his own home.[5] On occasion, Dr. Left will part with some seemingly valuable and exclusive information on the Minish, gleaned from hours of study.[6] This knowledge is laughingly inferior to what is already known by Link, due to his regular encounters with the Minish race on his adventures.
Trivia
- The name "Dr. Left" is a pun on a nearly-identical character who appeared in a previous game, Mr. Write. Of course, the pun on the words write being pronounced as right, and right and left being opposites.
- In Template:OOA, Dr. Troy plays a similar role to that of Dr. Left; he will offer Link information about various characters and monsters throughout Labrynna. Dr. Troy speaks of the very same monsters as Dr. Left, with the exception of Golden Monsters, which do not appear in Template:OOA.
- Unlike almost all other humans in The Minish Cap, he refers to the Minish as "Minish" rather than "Picori". This is likely to demonstrate his knowledge of them compared to other humans.
- The game Super Smash Bros. Brawl states that Dr. Left is a mock-up of Sim City's Dr. Wright, not only due to the obvious link in last name, but also an uncanny likeness in hairstyle and color.

And I gleaned it only after hours of study from an incredibly old book." — Dr. Left (The Minish Cap)
