 * This article is about Wizzrobes who appear as Bosses. For the enemy, see Wizzrobe.

are recurring NaN Mini-Bosss in.

In, Wizzrobes have a significantly different appearance as well as attack strategy. They resemble -like old men who wear simple cloth and carry a fiery staff. One appears as the mini-boss of Snowhead Temple, another appears in the Ancient Castle of Ikana, and a third appears in the Stone Tower Temple. A fourth Wizzrobe also appears as one of the enemies in the Secret Shrine.

Wizzrobes are encountered in rooms with pads across the room, which they teleport between before eventually stopping to dance and cast an attack. Link must attack it while it is dancing before it can cast its spell. This is easiest with the Bow, especially in later dungeons where the mini-boss emerges from a pad that is out of reach. After enough damage is dealt, it creates illusionary copies of itself that rush around the room. To defeat the Wizzrobe, Link must find the real one and attack it before it can strike back. As only the real Wizzrobe will attack Link, it can be found by searching for the dancing Wizzrobe. The real Wizzrobe also appears on the map. Tatl can also target the real one if Link is close enough.

The Wizzrobes that appear in Snowhead Temple and the Secret Shrine cast ice magic, whereas the Wizzrobes in the Castle of Ikana and Stone Tower Temple wield fire magic. The battle in the Stone Tower Temple also involves fiery rocks that fall from above. Link can use the Mirror Shield to reflect their spells. Defeating the Wizzrobe in Snowhead Temple rewards Link with the Fire Arrows, and defeating the one in Stone Tower Temple reveals a chest containing a Stray Fairy. The Wizzrobe in the Secret Shrine leaves a chest with a large Silver Rupee, worth 100 Rupees; once all four of the opponents (including the Wizzrobe) in the Shrine are beaten, Link receives a Piece of Heart. The Wizzrobe in the Castle of Ikana does not leave a treasure when beaten, however defeating it allows link to proceed to the castle's roof, where he can blast a hole with a Powder Keg to let sunlight in.

In the Wind Temple, a more powerful version wearing an orange cloak and an -like crown appears as the temple's mini-boss. It has the power of summoning other Wizzrobes, as well as enemies such as Darknuts, Moblins and Morths.

Wizzrobes, including the mini-boss, can be defeated in one hit if they are frozen with an Ice Arrow and then tossed at a wall, crushed with the TWWHD:, or shot by a Fire Arrow.

In, a Wizzrobe appears as the fourth boss. He is located in the Shutoy Lake tower, where he is holding Lady Alma captive. In defiance, Lady Alma says that she is not afraid of him, to which Wizzrobe responds by casting a spell that buries her in stones. In the in-game cutscenes, he appears as a green-skinned wizard wearing a purple robe.

Wizzrobe casts magic spells at Zelda, and cannot be attacked by normal means. He can only be defeated by reflecting his disintegration spell back at him using the Reflecting Shield. Upon his defeat, he drops a Key that opens the door to the chamber where Lady Alma is imprisoned.
