Miniblins are a weak impish creature that attack with forked spears and large numbers. They first appeared in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and appear in later games based on it.

History

The Legend of Zelda series

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

In The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Miniblins appear on many islands across the Great Sea, with the first possible encounter with them being in the first visit to the Forsaken Fortress, where they are in the boathouse. They appear in four colors, though there is no functional difference between them and as such simply seems to be for variety. When they begin their attack, they will first alert the player of their presence with a distinct "Nay nay!" vocalization, which they continue throughout their attack in various ways. They begin spawning en masse from offscreen, quickly swarming Link while jabbing with their weapons. They are individually neither strong nor durable, but the swarm will continue spawning until eventually, they all start to flee, including over rocks and into the sea itself.

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

In The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Miniblins are now all red. Their distinct call has been replaced by a quieter, vaguely monkey-like screech, and they always appear pre-spawned patrolling a small area, though again in groups. They take two hits from the first sword. They first appear on the Isle of Gust and the Uncharted Island as one of their main inhabitants. Additionally, yellow, fish-like Umi Blins appear from Pirate Ships and aboard the southwestern Traveler's Ship, the latter of which can be encountered before normal Miniblins.

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

In The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, Miniblins appear as they do in Phantom Hourglass, though the Umi Blins are replaced with yellow colored normal Miniblins. The yellow ones have an unavoidable encounter in the Ocean Realm when escorting Carben, and must be fended off along with their leader, a Big Blin. Failing to protect him results in a Game Over, though once the Pirate's Hideout is accessible, losing a passenger to them will simply mean they need to be rescued. Additionally, aside from ships, they have Pirate Tanks for land. A red type of Miniblin called a Mounted Miniblin rides an Armos.

Hyrule Warriors Legends

In Hyrule Warriors Legends, Miniblins appear as the main enemy troops for the new The Wind Waker-inspired chapter, as well as appearing in several scenarios on new Adventure Mode maps. They are once again all red, with the alternate troop types having various helmets. Also, the captains are larger than normal Miniblins.
