In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap]]'', Moldworms hide under the ground in areas only accessible while small, primarily near [[Lon Lon Ranch]], and slowly emerge segment by segment before slowly looping around, quite similar to their first appearance. However, they also try to eat [[Link]]. If they succeed, he will travel through each segment before coming out the back, at which point he will take damage and become dirty, which attracts nearby [[Pesto]]s to him. While underground, a small moving bump of dirt can be seen where their head is. | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap]]'', Moldworms hide under the ground in areas only accessible while small, primarily near [[Lon Lon Ranch]], and slowly emerge segment by segment before slowly looping around, quite similar to their first appearance.
