While exploring Hyrule in , you will eventually come across a species of cyclops bosses called a Hinox. These ogre-like bosses are often found sleeping and only awaken once Link gets too close. However, much like, Hinoxes are quite powerful foes that aren't easy to beat. You will come across regular Hinoxes, Blue Hinoxes, skeletal Stalnoxes, and the powerful Black Hinoxes throughout Hyrule.
While you can avoid these boss fights, beating them yields powerful monster parts and other ingredients that Link can use later. You can stun Hinoxes by shooting an arrow into their eyes; however, they still require a bit of dexterity when battling them. Although Black Hinoxes are the rarest type of Hinox in the game, they drop the strongest and most potent monster parts that can be used as Fuse materials in .

There are a total of 40 Hinox locations on the surface of Hyrule, varying in size and color. While Hinoxes are the most common variant you will find, you can also come across Stalnoxes that drop a Hinox Tooth and Stalnox Horn when you beat them. You can also find Blue and Black Hinoxes that drop roasted meat when beaten.
