Freezard

The Freezard (also referred to as Freezzard ) is featured in Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess.

Ocarina of Time & Majora's Mask
It blows an icy gale straight in front of itself at regular intervals. Upon impact, this freezing death will encase anything it touches, even Link, in a coating of ice that slowly eats away at one's life energy. These enemies have the ability to disappear and reappear somewhere else as well. To defeat them easily, keeping circling them until they blow their freezing death, then attack them from any side with your sword and they will be no more. Most weapons can defeat a Freezard, but arrows cannot pierce their thick icy hide. Being composed of ice, they have a natural weakness to heat. To dispatch them quickly and effectively, try a Fire Arrow.

Twilight Princess
Freezards appear as very large "dragon"-like beasts that breathe cold air and are first seen blocking a doorway in the Snowpeak Ruins. This form can only be defeated by using a cannon, and later in the dungeon with the Ball and Chain. When shattered, they break into the much smaller Mini Freezards, each of which appears as a small chunk of ice containing one of the Freezard's many eyes. They can also be found in specific floors in the Cave of Ordeals

These very large Freezards closely resemble adult Sheegoths from Metroid Prime.

Trivia

 * Although there are no such Freezards in The Wind Waker, the entrance to the cavern within Ice Ring Isle not only constantly breathes an icy mist like Freezards do, but its rocky outside surface resembles one as well.


 * The Freezard is made of about 4 Mini Freezards.
