Goombas are round enemies that appear in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX, and the Nintendo Switch remake. They are from the Mario franchise. Unlike normal Goombas, these ones have a smiling expression.

Goombas mostly appear in the sidescrolling passages of both the overworld and most dungeons, possibly referencing the sidescrolling gameplay of the 2D Super Mario series titles. They are frequently found alongside Piranha Plants. Goombas also appear in the Eagle's Tower, which is the only top-down area where they appear.

Link can defeat Goombas from a single hit with any of his weapons. By jumping with the Roc's Feather or by falling from an above platform, Link can squish a Goomba to receive a heart. If Link is hit by a Goomba, he loses half of a heart in health. Goombas attack by walking around.

In the February 2019 Nintendo Direct trailer for the Nintendo Switch remake, Goombas have an identical appearance to their modern design in the Mario franchise, with a frowning expression. In the final version of the game, the Goombas were redesigned to more closely resemble their appearance in the original The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening and retain their smiling expressions and conjoined eyes. Additionally, a Goomba figure is a prize in the Trendy Game, and can be placed on a stand in Tarin and Marin's house.
