Years after release, die hard fans are still wondering if there are any gold enemies in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. These enemies have different difficulty levels, making them more challenging than those in Breath of the Wild. You might remember the gold enemies from the previous game or other Zelda titles, but are they in Tears of the Kingdom?
Let’s take a closer look at whether or not you’ll encounter gold enemies in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.
Where Are the Gold Enemies in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom?
Unfortunately, gold enemies are not present in Tears of the Kingdom. While gold-tier enemies were introduced in Breath of the Wild’s Master Mode, they have not made a return in this sequel. Many fans, including myself, expected them to appear, possibly through an update or in a Master Mode for Tears of the Kingdom, but so far, that hasn’t happened.
In Tears of the Kingdom, the available enemy tiers you’ll face are:
- Red
- Blue
- Black
- Silver
Each of these tiers becomes progressively harder, with silver enemies being the toughest. However, without gold enemies, some players feel there’s a missing level of challenge, especially for those who crave more difficult battles after completing most of the game.
What Are Gold Enemies?
Gold enemies are the hardest type of enemies found in certain Zelda games. They are recognizable by their golden color and much higher health, making them tougher than any other tier. Gold enemies have appeared in games like Oracle of Seasons, The Minish Cap, and Breath of the Wild.
In Breath of the Wild, the gold enemies included:
- Golden Bokoblin
- Golden Moblin
- Golden Lizalfos
- Golden Lynel
These enemies were part of Breath of the Wild’s Master Mode, offering a significant challenge to players. Unfortunately, Tears of the Kingdom has not yet received a similar mode or these tougher enemies, leaving players without that extra level of difficulty.
Will Gold Enemies Return in a Future Update?
There’s no official word on whether gold enemies in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom will comeback through a future update or DLC. Many players hope that Master Mode will return, along with gold-tier enemies, to provide more endgame content and battles for those looking for a tougher experience.
If you’re craving a greater challenge, you can always explore mods for Breath of the Wild that add gold enemies, but remember, these mods aren’t part of the official game. As for now, Tears of the Kingdom offers plenty of challenges, even without the gold enemies.
