The '''Wizzrobe''' (misspelled '''Wizrobe''' in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''<ref>''It's a Wizrobe. You'll get your chance right when it starts to attack. Be on the lookout for it!'' - [[Tatl]] (''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'').</ref>) is one of the more commonly recurring [[The Legend of Zelda series|The Legend of Zelda]] enemies, known for teleporting randomly and throwing energyballs. They can only be attacked when they attack, as only then they become visible and physical. Wizzrobes usually have the appearance of a colorfully-robed wizard wearing a pointy, wide-brimmed hat.
 
==The Legend of Zelda==
[[Image:WizzrobeTLOZ.jpg|thumb|left|Wizzrobe in ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'']]
Two varieties of wizzrobe appeared in the sixth dungeon of the first ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Game)|The Legend of Zelda]]''. The more common orange wizrobes set the trend for later incarnations by teleporting and firing magic beams. The more durable blue wizrobes would stalk about a room until they lined up with [[Link]], when they would charge launching a stream of beam attacks.
 
==The Adventure of Link==
The wizzrobes continued to appear in most of the Zelda games. In ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]'' the wizzrobes  were impervious to [[Link]]'s sword, and could only be defeated by using the [[Spells of The Adventure of Link|Reflect Spell]] to turn their magic against them.
 
==A Link to the Past & Link's Awakening==
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', wizzrobes were largely identical to their original appearance, though they became more durable.
 
==Majora's Mask==
[[Image:Wizrobe.jpg|thumb|"Wizrobe" in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'']]
Though a wizzrobe did appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', it was significantly different in appearance from previous wizzrobes. It would transport itself to different pads across a room. Each time it would appear with illusionary copies and dance briefly before attacking with either fire or ice. To defeat it, the player had to guess which of the dancing spirits was the real wizrobe and attack before they teleported away. (if standing in a good spot, [[Tatl]] would zoom over to the real one).
 
==Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons==
* ''To be added''
 
==Four Swords & The Minish Cap==
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords|Four Swords]]'', and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', Wizzrobes returned to their classic appearance<ref>''Appears in the [[Palace of Winds]] & [[Dark Hyrule Castle]]. They fire magic bolts from afar. Hit them when they appear so they don't cast another spell!'' - Wizzrobe figurine (''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'').</ref>, and used their trademark tactics once more. In addition, fire<ref>''Appears in the [[Palace of Winds]] & [[Dark Hyrule Castle]]. They wield fire magic. Hit them when they appear so they don't cast another spell!'' - Fire Wizzrobe figurine (''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'').</ref> and ice<ref>''Appears in the [[Palace of Winds]] & [[Dark Hyrule Castle]]. They wield ice magic. Hit them when they appear so they don't cast another spell!'' - Ice Wizzrobe figurine (''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'').</ref> wizzrobes appeared who would attack with their respective elements to deal lasting harm to Link.
 
==The Wind Waker==
<!--blue, brown, red-->
[[Image:Wizzrobe2.gif|thumb|left|The '''[[Wizzrobe (Boss)|Wizzrobe]]''' mini-boss in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]''.]]
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', the Wizzrobe is a wizard-like enemy that shoots fireballs.<ref>''Wizzrobe - Habitat: [[Tower of the Gods]] - Magic: Fire, summons - These mighty mages are adept at wielding flame and summoning other creatures to their aid. The only way to defeat them is to try to predict their movements and attack them during the brief moments that they assume physical form.'' - Wizzrobe figurine  (''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'').</ref> While there are many ways to defeat a Wizzrobe, the easiest is to shoot a [[Fire Arrow]] at it for a one-hit kill. Another method is to freeze it with an [[Ice Arrow]], then slash at it with your sword. However, the more basic method (and the better one if you don't have fire or ice arrows) is to shoot it with your normal arrows. A Wizzrobe now would make an alarm sound.
 
Most Wizzrobes Link encounters wear a dark cloak with a red hood and wear masks shaped like [[Wikipedia:Toucan|toucan]] heads. There are three teams of wizzrobes, however, that wear white cloaks. These are found on top of the three triple-platforms in the [[Great Sea]]. There is a more powerful version of the Wizzrobe, simply called [[Wizzrobe (Boss)|Wizzrobe]], the mini-boss in the [[Wind Temple]], who has the sole power of summoning other Wizzrobes.<ref>''[[Wizzrobe (Boss)|Wizzrobe]] - Habitat: [[Wind Temple]] - Magic: Summons - These high-level mages use the magic of summoning to aid them in battle. They are the only Wizzrobes that can summon other Wizzrobes, which makes them formidable.'' - [[Wizzrobe (Boss)|Wizzrobe]] figurine  (''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'').</ref> This Wizzrobe may be based on the Inca emperors. A 1-hit kill, even for the Wizzrobe mini-boss, is to freeze it with an Ice Arrow and toss it at a wall. A more comical 1-hit K.O. would be to freeze it, then crush it with the [[Skull Hammer]].
 
==Four Swords Adventures==
The three wizzrobe types from ''Four Swords'' and ''The Minish Cap'' return in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]''. There is also a new fourth kind of wizzrobe that absorbs [[Link]]'s [[Force Gem]]s from afar.
 
==Phantom Hourglass==
Wizzrobes return in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'' after their drastic change in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]''. They retain the bird masks, but are slightly smaller and carry large scythes instead of wands. In spite of the aesthetic similarities, they take on a completely new role in this game. They appear only in The [[Temple of the Ocean King]] and do not use their traditional magic. Instead, they are invisible until right before they attack, and will sneak up on you to steal your time away. They appear as skulls on the map on the top screen, which is the only way to track them without coming in range of their attacks. They can be useful, though, because beating one gets you 30 more seconds while they can only steal 15 at a time.
 
==Trivia==
* While Wizzrobes were not present in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', [[Zant's Mask]]s used the same attack strategy as the Wizzrobes from ''The Wind Waker'', teleporting back and forth and firing magic blasts at [[Link]].
