Carock
Carock is a Boss in The Adventure of Link.[4]
Characteristics
Carock is a large Wizard that guards the Maze Island Palace, and it can be defeated only by using the Reflect Magic to turn his own magic attacks against him. Carock throws his attacks and warps at a very high rate, so Link must defeat him quickly before it is too late.
Trivia
- Carock is the first Boss in the series whose defeat requires turning his own magic against him, later expanded upon with Agahnim before becoming common in later games.
- Carock bears a resemblance to the Magician who tricked the Prince and placed Princess Zelda under a sleeping spell. Despite the similarity, they cannot be one and the same, as Carock is one of the guardians of the temples that protect the Triforce of Courage, created by the King of Hyrule himself, while the Magician not only was responsible for Zelda's current situation, but had died as a result of casting the curse.
- In Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, Carok Bridge and the Carok Bridge Well are both named after Carock.
- In the Famicom Disk System version, Carok only has a single, symmetrical sprite when fighting him. The NES version has his sprite turned slightly toward the side to face Link.
