Lizalfos



Lizalfos are lizard-like creatures that are found in several Zelda games. Lizalfos wield quite strong swords. It is usual that they always confront Link in pairs, but he will only have to actually fight with them one at a time. When one gets injured, it steps back and the less-injured one takes charge. They are very agile in combat and tend to swing for Link at a certain time, but there will always be small oportunities to attack when they drop their guard. They tend to circle Link first and then approach on the counter attack. A few slashes of the sword should easily thwart these foes.

In Twilight Princess, they have a more dinosaurian appearance, and have axe-shaped tails. They come in three variations: normal, with helmets, and in full armor. The first two are fairly easy to kill with bomb arrows or swordplay. However, the larger armored Lizalfos, which appear first in the Temple of Time, are dangerous opponents able of frequently able of dodging the Ending Blow and blocking other hidden skills. They appear in parts of Hyrule Field, as well as numerous dungeons, including the Lakebed Temple, Hyrule Castle, the City in the Sky, the Cave of Ordeals, and the Temple of Time.
