Zazak

Zazak is a humanoid alligator enemy appearing in A Link to the Past and.

Characteristics and Weaknesses
Zazak have two big fangs, white mohawk-like hair, and solid armor that allows them to withstand a few blows from the Master Sword. In A Link to the Past, they appear in certain Dark World dungeons, most prominently in Thieves' Town, but also in Ganon's Tower. They are intelligent and will often charge at Link to attack. They bear similarity to Daira from The Adventure of Link and Dinolfos from later games, but do not fight with any weaponry. Instead, the Red Zazak are able to breath fireballs that cannot be stopped with Link's Red Shield; only the Mirror Shield he obtains late in the game can block these powerful attacks. The red variety can also withstand twice as many hits, and so is considerably more dangerous than the blue variety. They usually appear side by side, and often in groups with Stalfos.

In A Link Between Worlds, they do not shoot fire at Link, but will damage the young hero if they come in contact. If the Thief Girl is with Link while in the Thieves' Hideout, the Zazak will attempt to try and grab the girl, and if they succeed, will cause the young hero and the thief girl to immediately end up back at her cell.

Ancient Stone Tablets
In, Zazak make a reappearance in Level 8, which takes place in the Mountain Tunnel of Death Mountain. This dungeon is in the Light World, showing that they were not limited only to Ganon's realm of the Dark World.
