'''Moldworms''' are large-mouthed subterranean worm-like creatures that first appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap]]''.

==History==
===''The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap''===
They 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 the [[Moldorm (The Legend of Zelda)|Moldorms]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]''. 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.

===''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess''===
Appearing under the name "Moldorm" in English, they now pursue Link from under the sand in [[Gerudo Desert]] and early in the [[Arbiter's Grounds]], leaping at him when they get close enough. They have three large fangs in this game.

===''The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass''===
Now called "Sandworms" in English, they appear much larger and live on the [[Isle of Gust]] and the [[Temple of Wind]]. Here, they hide under the sand and will burst out to eat Link if they hear him making too much noise, likely in reference to giant sand worms in franchises such as ''Dune'' and ''Tremors''. They will also go after [[bomb]]s, which will kill them, and will in fact stop pursuing Link in order to eat a bomb.

===''The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword''===
Again called "Moldorms" in English, they appear in [[Mogma Mitts]]-accessible tunnels and appear centipede like. They have weak tail ends, similar to those of [[Moldorm (boss)|boss Moldorms]], inspired by the enlarged abdomen of the honey ant. Destroying the tail end causes the Moldorm to shorten and pick up speed, but it will be defeated after three hits.
