Legend of Zelda Wizzrobe

Wizzrobes are magic-using enemies from the Legend of Zelda series that attack Link with different magic attacks. Wizzrobe's name is assumed to be a portmanteau of the words "wizard" and "robe".

Characteristics

Wizzrobes often wear long robes that covers their body and a pointy hat (or a hood on some occasions); usually their faces cannot be seen, except for the eyes. This type of Wizzrobe bears some likeness to the Black Mage from the Final Fantasy series.

Appearances

Wizzrobe has been around since the first Zelda title. Although they have under gone a number of changes throughout the years, their attack methods have remained rather consistent.

• Legend of Zelda: Wizzrobe made his debut in this game. Orange Wizzrobes disappear and reappear around the room and shoot magic at Link, but only in a straight line. The Blue Wizzrobes move freely around the room and attack whenever Link is in their line of fire. The Blue Ones also have the abilitiy to enter into the doorways of the rooms and to phase across barriers.
• Zelda II: The Adventure of Link: Wizzrobe appeared like a white robed figure. He would appear, shoot a spell at Link, and vanish again. Wizzrobe was invulnerable to sword attacks, and could only be defeated with the Reflect spell. When Link cast reflect, Wizzrobe's magic could be reflected back at it, killing it.
• The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past: The same as The Legend of Zelda, but with updated graphics. Some note their great physical similarity to a Black Mage.
• The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening: The same as The Legend of Zelda, but with no tougher form.
• The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask: Considered by most Zelda fans to be the poorest version of Wizzrobe, as far as looks go. He has a pig-like face and wears a short robe. Wizzrobe is a miniboss in four areas in the game, including Snowhead Temple and Ikana. He has two attack methods; first he moves between warp tiles and shoots ice blast (fire on rare occasions) then warps to another tile. Second, he has decoys to confuse Link; the real one spins around on one of the warp tiles. In this game, Wizzrobe was accidentally spelled with one Z.
• The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons: Same as The Legend of Zelda.
• The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker: The Wizzrobes in Wind Waker teleport around the room and shoot magic at Link from afar, usually out of reach of Link's sword. Red ones shoot fireballs at Link. The yellow version can shoot fireballs and summon other enemies. Blue ones are similar to the red ones, but more powerful. The miniboss Wizzrobes (see image on the right) are like the yellow hooded ones, but more powerful and can summon bigger enemies such as Darknuts, Moblins, even other Wizzrobes. Wizzrobes wear hooded robes and a bird-like mask.
• The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures: Same as The Legend of Zelda, but some have the ability to shoot fire and ice, and sometimes suck out your Force Gems.. They also have soundclips from Wind Waker.
• The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap: Same as Four Swords Adventures.
