Hi, This is probably moreso curiosity than practicality for this specific image, but I notice for this and the magic sword render, twitter provides multiple versions, including

Like all Thwomps in the ''Mario'' series, these enemies drop down when [[Link]] comes near, attempting to crush him beneath their weight. They are encountered in side-scrolling areas of dungeons, and are invincible to all forms of attack.
This file here appears to be the first one, with the two others all being slightly larger at 600 x 391.

==Characteristics and Weaknesses==
I wonder which is best? I compared the jpg and png, and both have some jpg artifacts, but I notice there are less of the extreme blotches or of bright red and the weird discoloration [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringing_artifacts#/media/File:Asterisk_with_jpg-artefacts.png (e.g. extreme example)] in the png, i.e. it's more consistent/smooth/"better"?. It's probably not worth changing this image unless with background removal, but any opinions?

In ''Link's Awakening'', Thwomps are found in the underground passage of the [[Face Shrine (Dungeon)|Face Shrine]]. Like the larger Thwomps encountered earlier on Link's quest, they drop down when Link approaches. This can be predicted when the Thwomp glares down below it, just before falling. In the [[Game Boy Color|GBC]] [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX|remake]] their faces turn red before falling. Thwomps drop very quickly when approached and are invulnerable to all attacks, requiring that Link move fast in evading them. They can only be evaded while dashing with the [[Pegasus Boots]], as Link will otherwise be too slow to walk past them normally. As their bodies are covered in spikes, they also cannot be jumped on with the [[Roc's Feather]] without sustaining damage.

In ''Oracle of Seasons'', Thwomps appear identically to those in ''Link's Awakening''. They drop down from the ceiling when Link comes near and cannot be defeated. As they drop down too quickly for Link to evade normally, Link must use instead [[Pegasus Seeds]] to move past them quickly.

==Etymology==
:PNG is always the preferred format for images, regardless if they need to be cropped/rendered or not. In this case, the sword renders will need to be in PNG format if they are to eventually be properly rendered. {{:User:The Goron Moron/sig}} 05:46, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Revision as of 00:38, 3 January 2016

Template:Enemy

Thwomps are recurring enemies in Link's Awakening and Oracle of Seasons. Their name comes from the Thwomp enemies of the Mario series, while their appearance, size and Japanese name are more closely based on the smaller Thwimps.

Like all Thwomps in the Mario series, these enemies drop down when Link comes near, attempting to crush him beneath their weight. They are encountered in side-scrolling areas of dungeons, and are invincible to all forms of attack.

Characteristics and Weaknesses

Link's Awakening

In Link's Awakening, Thwomps are found in the underground passage of the Face Shrine. Like the larger Thwomps encountered earlier on Link's quest, they drop down when Link approaches. This can be predicted when the Thwomp glares down below it, just before falling. In the GBC remake their faces turn red before falling. Thwomps drop very quickly when approached and are invulnerable to all attacks, requiring that Link move fast in evading them. They can only be evaded while dashing with the Pegasus Boots, as Link will otherwise be too slow to walk past them normally. As their bodies are covered in spikes, they also cannot be jumped on with the Roc's Feather without sustaining damage.

Oracle of Seasons

In Oracle of Seasons, Thwomps appear identically to those in Link's Awakening. They drop down from the ceiling when Link comes near and cannot be defeated. As they drop down too quickly for Link to evade normally, Link must use instead Pegasus Seeds to move past them quickly.
