{{Plural|FS|Wizzrobe}} return to their original appearance as hooded humanoids.

==={{TWW|-}}===

{{Figurines|TWW}}

{{Plural|TWWHD|Wizzrobe}} take on a significantly different look in {{TWW}}, characterized by their {{Wp|toucan}}-like faces and wing-like sleeves. They usually wear dark cloaks with hoods and carry wands that they use to cast their spells. Like previous appearances, they disappear and reappear using magic. When they teleport, a sound is heard to indicate their position. They come in two common, colored varieties and use different strategies. {{Plural|TWWHD|Wizzrobe}} with [[Fire Wizzrobe|red hoods shoot fireballs]], while {{Plural|TWWHD|Wizzrobe}} with yellow hoods can both shoot fireballs and summon other enemies.<ref>{{Cite|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.|Figurine|TWW}}</ref> There are also {{Plural|TWWHD|Wizzrobe}} with white robes and blue hoods, which behave identically to red-hooded variants, that appear atop {{Plural|TWWHD|Lookout Platform|link}} near the {{Term|TWWHD|Seven-Star Isles|link}}.<ref>{{Cite Guide|quote= |game= TWW|publisher= Prima|page= 150}}</ref> {{Plural|TWWHD|Wizzrobe}} can be defeated in one hit if they are frozen with an {{Term|TWWHD|Ice Arrow|linK}} and then tossed at a wall, shot with a {{Term|TWWHD|Fire Arrow|link}}, or crushed with the {{Term|TWWHD|Skull Hammer|link}}. A {{Term|TWWHD|Wizzrobe (Boss)|link}} {{Term|TWWHD|Sub-Boss|link}} also appears in the {{Term|TWWHD|Wind Temple|link}}, wearing a distinctive orange cloak and crown.

==={{FSA|-}}===

{{Plural|FSA|Wizzrobe}} are able to steal {{Plural|FSA|Force Gem|link}} from the {{Plural|FSA|Links|link}} in {{FSA}}, while also using fire and ice spells. They closely resemble the {{Plural|ALttP|Wizzrobe}} from {{ALttP}} and first appear in the {{Term|FSA|Eastern Temple|link}}.

==={{TMC|-}}===

{{Plural|TMC|Wizzrobe}} in {{TMC}} appear identically to their appearance in {{FS}}, with three varieties; standard green {{Plural|TMC|Wizzrobe}}, {{Plural|TMC|Fire Wizzrobe|link}}, and {{Plural|TMC|Ice Wizzrobe|link}}. They appear in the {{Term|TMC|Palace of Winds|link}} and {{Term|TMC|Dark Hyrule Castle|link}}. {{Plural|TMC|Ice Wizzrobe}} are weak to fire-based attacks, and can be instantly defeated using the {{Term|TMC|Flame Lantern|link}}.

==={{PH|-}}===

{{Plural|PH|Wizzrobe}} in {{PH}} retain their bird-like appearance, but are slightly smaller, wear cloth masks, and carry large scythes instead of wands. In spite of the aesthetic similarities, they take on a completely different role in the game. They appear only in the {{Term|PH|Temple of the Ocean King|link}} and do not use their traditional magic. Instead, they are invisible until right before they attack. They will sneak up to steal 15 seconds from the {{Term|PH|Phantom Hourglass (Item)|link}} with a swipe of their scythes. They appear as {{Plural|PH|Skull|link}} on the map on the top screen, which is the only way to track them without coming in range of their attacks. Defeating one earns {{Term|PH|Link|link}} 30 more seconds of the {{Term|PH|Sand of Hours|link}}.

==={{TFH|-}}===

As of the Version 2.0.0 update, dark {{Plural|TFH|Wizzrobe|link}} can be found in the {{Term|TFH|Den of Trials|link}}.

{{Main|Blizzrobe, Electric Wizzrobe, Fire Wizzrobe, Ice Wizzrobe, Meteo Wizzrobe, Thunder Wizzrobe}}

Six types of {{Term|BotW|Wizzrobe}} appear in {{BotW}}. There are three base forms of {{Term|BotW|Wizzrobe}}: {{Plural|BotW|Electric Wizzrobe|link}}, {{Plural|BotW|Fire Wizzrobe|link}}, and {{Plural|BotW|Ice Wizzrobe|link}}, which carry {{Plural|BotW|Lightning Rod|link}}, {{Plural|BotW|Fire Rod|link}}, and {{Plural|BotW|Ice Rod|link}} respectively. Three stronger variants of these {{Plural|BotW|Wizzrobe}} also appear. These more powerful {{Plural|BotW|Wizzrobe}} are: {{Plural|BotW|Thunder Wizzrobe|link}} which bear {{Plural|BotW|Thunderstorm Rod|link}}, {{Plural|BotW|Meteo Wizzrobe|link}} which carry {{Plural|BotW|Meteor Rod|link}}, and {{Plural|BotW|Blizzrobe|link}} which carry {{Plural|BotW|Blizzard Rod|link}}.

==Other Appearances==

==={{TLoZ|-}} (Valiant Comics)===

[[File:Wizzrobe VC.png|thumb|right|Wizzrobe in the Valiant Comics]]

The Wizzrobes in the {{TLoZ|Valiant Comics}} highly resemble their original artwork  from {{TLoZ|-}}. Although a Wizzrobe makes a  brief appearance in "[[He Also Serves]],"<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= When do we spring the trap, Wizzrobe?|book= TLoZ (Valiant Comics)|publisher= |page= 9}}</ref> they play a more important role in "[[To the First Power]]" and, to an extent, in "[[The Legend of Zelda (Valiant Comics)/Issue 4#Queen of Hearts|Queen of Hearts]]."

In "To the First Power," a Wizzrobe commands several of Ganon's minions to tie Link up after [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] heads inside the [[Level 1|Eagle Labyrinth]] to train against Ganon's minions. However, the Wizzrobe reveals to Link that he filled the Eagle Labyrinth with the most dangerous of enemies so that Zelda may not stand a chance up against them.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Grab him! Without his weapons, he's helpless! You thought Eagle Labyrinth was a safe place for Zelda to hone her battle skills! Fool! I filled it with the most lethal enemies in Ganon's army! She won't stand a chance! Let my teleportation spell carry us to the final room of the labyrinth!|book= TLoZ (Valiant Comics)|publisher= |page= 2}}</ref> Although Link confronts the Wizzrobe and tells him that capturing Zelda will do no good since he is the one that [[Ganon]] wants, the Wizzrobe confesses that he is not interested in following Ganon's orders anymore.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Why go to all this trouble to get Zelda, Wizzrobe? I'm the one Ganon wants!|book= TLoZ (Valiant Comics)|publisher= |page= 2}}</ref><ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Ganon's desires don't interest me! I'm finished following that loser!|book= TLoZ (Valiant Comics)|publisher= |page= 2}}</ref> He elaborates that he has gathered many other minions who feel the same way, and as soon as he destroys Link and Zelda, all of Ganon's  minions will join his renegade army, leaving Ganon to fail.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= I've  gathered many of Ganon's minions who feel the same! Ganon has never been able to stop you OR Zelda! But, if I can destroy you both, Ganon's minions will join my renegade army...and Ganon himself will fall!|book= TLoZ (Valiant Comics)|publisher= |page= 2}}</ref>

Eventually, Zelda makes her way to where the Wizzrobe and Link are, delighting the foe since he will now be able to defeat her himself.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= I don't know how you got past my renegade army, princess! But I'm delighted that I get to destroy you myself!|book= TLoZ (Valiant Comics)|publisher= |page= 9}}</ref> The Wizzrobe shoots a magic beam at her, which Zelda dodges and quickly fires an Arrow from her Bow towards it, making him fall into a fire pit that sends the Wizzrobe back to Ganon.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Zelda: And you picked on the WRONG princess, Wizzrobe!|book= TLoZ (Valiant Comics)|publisher= |page= 10}}</ref><ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Wizzrobe: Nooo! This will send be back to Ganon!|book= TLoZ (Valiant Comics)|publisher= |page= 10}}</ref> The story ends with the Wizzrobe kneeling in front of Ganon while the Prince of Darkness praises him since he could make use of a "deceitful and treacherous" man like him.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= So...you plotted behind my back! You, Wizzrobe, are deceitful and treacherous! [...] Good! I can USE a man like you.|book= TLoZ (Valiant Comics)|publisher= |page= 10}}</ref>

The Wizzrobe in "Queen of Hearts" is in charge of securing the [[Magic Container]] that holds all of [[Queen Seline]]'s magical  powers.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= The magic container is the key--! If we can break it open, my powers will return!|book= TLoZ (Valiant Comics)|publisher= |page= 8}}</ref> When Link and Seline make their way to where the magic container is, they are confronted by a Wizzrobe and a horde of Ganon's other minions.  Link is then heavily injured and faints, and before the Wizzrobe can finish him off, Zelda appears and shoots an Arrow at the Magic Container,<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Get away from my friends, you creep!|book= TLoZ (Valiant Comics)|publisher= |page= 9}}</ref> restoring Seline's powers and allowing her to easily defeat the Wizzrobe and the rest of the enemies.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Ah! My powers have returned! Now then, little wizard....it's time for you to learn about REAL magic.|book= TLoZ (Valiant Comics)|publisher= |page= 9}}</ref>

==={{TCT|-}}===

A Wizzrobe disguised as a [[Fortune Teller]] appears in {{TCT}}. Known as [[Madame Grusha]], she resides in the [[Town of Ruto]]. If Zelda visits Madame Grusha's hut, she will guess that Zelda has traveled far and that she is searching for three things. The Fortune Teller goes on to explain that she knows how to help the princess, but she cannot speak of it in their current location and asks that Zelda follow her into her inner sanctum.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Grusha can see far. You are seeking three things. I can help you, but I can't speak of it here. Come into my inner sanctum.|book= TCT|publisher= |page= 116}}</ref> Following Madame Grusha will lead to Zelda's death, while deciding to not follow her will result in a fight between Zelda and the Wizzrobe, along with some Moblins. However, the princess manages to defeat both enemies and come out of the hut alive.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=She grabs a mirror off the wall and holds it up as a shield just as the wizzrobe lowers his staff. There's a flash of red light. The spell hits the mirror--and bounces back across the room. The wizzrobe and the moblin freeze where they stand. The spell has turned them to stone!|book= TCT|publisher= |page= 27}}</ref>

 

 

In {{ZA}}, Wizzrobes appear wearing blue cloaks and carrying wooden staffs. They walk around and occasionally cast blasts of magic, however unlike their canonical incarnations, they do not teleport at will. They appear in the [[Shrine of Illusion]] and the [[Shrine of Destiny]].

 

A Wizzrobe appears in Chapter 9 of the {{ALttP|Ishinomori}}. After Link exits the [[Swamp Palace]], he hears Princess Zelda contact him telepathically from beyond the [[Misery Mire (Dungeon)|wasteland]].<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=I...am...nearby... Hurry!|book= ALttP (Ishinomori)|publisher= |page= 9}}</ref><ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Can't you hear her? Zelda is calling from beyond the wasteland!|book= ALttP (Ishinomori)|publisher= |page= 9}}</ref>  [[Epheremelda]], who cannot hear Zelda's calling, advises Link against going to the wasteland as it is too dangerous.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Now you're hearing things! Anyway, the wasteland is way too harsh! Once you get in there, you can't escape!|book= ALttP (Ishinomori)|publisher= |page= 9}}</ref> Link disregards her suggestion,<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= If this wasteland is as dangerous as you say it is, I've got to get Zelda out of there right away!|book= ALttP (Ishinomori)|publisher= |page= 10}}</ref> heading into the wasteland where he stumbles into an oasis from where  Zelda is calling his name. The young hero ventures in and finds her.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= It's some kind of oasis! This must be where Zelda is being held! Zelda! I'm  on my way! [...] Can it be? Zelda! I finally found you!|book= ALttP (Ishinomori)|publisher= |page= 11}}</ref> As he remembers the [[Maiden]]'s words of Zelda being inside {{Term|ALttP (Ishinomori)|Turtle Rock|link}},<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= But wait... The girl in the crystal said Zelda was in a rock shaped like a turtle...|book= ALttP (Ishinomori)|publisher= |page= 12}}</ref> the princess turns out to be an illusion made by a Wizzrobe, who promptly captures Link and conjures [[Vitreous]] from the swamp to devour him.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= You walked right into my trap, tasty morsel! This is Misery Mire, world famous for its fine aroma of Swamp Gas. You're just in time for dinner with Sir Vitreous, the master of this place... Dinner, with you as the main course!|book= ALttP (Ishinomori)|publisher= |page= 12}}</ref> However, a whirlpool is created that engulfs both Vitreous and the Wizzrobe, and from beneath [[Zora (Ishinomori)|Zora]] appears to rescue Link.

 

{{Monita|These magical foes attack from afar. They've only got one trick up their loosely hanging sleeves, and that's...well, magic!}}
