In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past/Four Swords|A Link to the Past/Four Swords]]'', an alternate, stronger, green version of the Helmasaur King is in the new [[Palace of the Four Sword]]. It appears in large room with five Traps in the top corners of the room and three traps in the bottom corners of the room. Its battle has minor differences from its battle in the Dark Palace. After the mask is destroyed, instead of fireballs, he will spawn Helmasaurs to attack Link, and once the gem is damaged enough, the mask will repair itself. After it is destroyed again, the gem's place will instead be taken up by a large third eye, resembling that of [[Vitreous]]. In this battle, the gem will not be damaged by arrows, but the eye will be immediately destroyed if hit with a [[Silver Arrow]].

Reimagined as a huge bird, the Helmaroc King appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]]'', acting more directly as [[Ganondorf]]'s minion. During the game it steals maidens from across the [[Great Sea]], with Ganondorf hoping to find the current iteration of [[Princess Zelda]]. He manages to pursue the correct one, [[Tetra]] to [[Outset Island]], but from there instead grabs Link's sister [[Aryll]], starting [[Link]]'s quest. While exploring the [[Forsaken Fortress]] where Aryll is imprisoned for the first time, the Helmaroc King can be seen in a giant nest throughout. Once Link climbs to the holding cell, the Helmaroc King grabs him, shows him to Ganondorf, and then tosses him away at his orders.

Later in the game, when Link returns to the Forsaken Fortress, the Helmaroc King is nowhere to be seen at first, with it later being revealed to have been baited away by the pirates. Once Link and the pirates free the girls, the Helmaroc King returns to attack Link, and Link mist climb to the top of the tower while water rises. When the water rises the Helmaroc King flies in the center of the tower and occasionally lunges at Link, destroying pieces of the path. Once at the top, the Helmaroc King lands in front of Link, blocking the way out. By hitting the Helmaroc King's mask with the [[Skull Hammer]] the Helmaroc King will scream and fall down the tower into the water. After climbing to the roof of the tower, the giant door on top will begin closing behind him, only for the Helmaroc King to fly out and scream before it finishes closing, starting the battle.

The roof is a circle surrounded by spikes. In the battle, the Helmaroc King can fly or stomp around the roof and attempt to crush, peck, or blow Link into the spikes around the roof. Whenever it pecks, its beak will get stuck in the ground, allowing Link to use the Skull Hammer on his mask, damaging it, and causing the Helmaroc King to retract its beak and scream. Once the mask is destroyed, he is shown having red eyes and a yellow crest. Now, he no longer retracts his beak immediately upon being hit, and the hammer can do huge amounts of damage to him. Hitting him enough times further will defeat him, causing him to scream, stumble, fly high into the air, and explode as the [[searchlight]]s cross over him, dropping a Heart Container.  

As shown by the health bar displayed by the [[Hero's Charm]], the Helmaroc King is not damaged at all until the mask is destroyed. Additionally, unlike other bosses working for Ganondorf, he is not encountered in the boss rush in [[Ganon's Tower]].

The Helmaroc King reappears as a boss on [[The Mountain Path]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures]]''. When the players enter its room it swoops down towards the players before the battle. On the bridge before the battle the Helmaroc King's shadow can be seen flying by. The Helmaroc King's room has [[Bomb Flower]]s and two caves. Each cave contains a [[Keese]], two ladders, and a Hammer, and the cave on the left also contains a tablet that gives the player a hint on how to defeat the Helmaroc King. In its battle it swoops around and drops rocks. Bombs must be used to knock it out and make it fly into the side of a cave, where its head appears on the Game Boy Advance screen inside the cave where it can be damaged with the Hammer. After getting hit enough its mask breaks, making the Helmaroc King attack by swooping down to the ground level. In this state it does not go into the caves after getting hit by a Bomb and the swords can be used to damage it. After getting hit enough it will explode, defeating it. Unlike the graphics of most entities in the game, which are made from scratch or edited from previous sprites, the Helmaroc King uses pre-rendered sprites of its model from ''The Wind Waker''.

In the [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (comic)|comic adaptation]] of ''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past'' by [[Shotaro Ishinomori]], multiple copies of the unmasked Helmasaur King appear in Chapter 7 and are called "[[Gleeok|Gleeocks]]." [[Eyegore|Rocklops #1]] sends them after Link after it catches him attempting to blow up the [[Dark Palace|Palace of Darkness]] by igniting the [[Firecorn]] stockpile within. One manages to catch up to Link after he reaches the maiden, but Link manages to detonate the stockpile anyways, destroying all the monsters.

The Helmaroc King, now working for [[Phantom Ganon]], appears in the new ''The Wind Waker''-inspired chapter as a boss, and is again weak to the Hammer. It is capable of the same attacks it can do in ''The Wind Waker'', though some have been adjusted to fit the new gameplay style and battlefield size. It can now fire large amounts of its feathers as blades, and turns slowly while doing so.
