'''Shy Guys''', formerly referred to as '''Mask-Mimics'''<ref>''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening'' Player's Guide, page 98.</ref>, are mask-wearing enemies in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'' and its [[Game Boy Color]] port, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX]]''. They are from the ''[[mariowiki:Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise. In ''Link's Awakening DX'', they wear a red robe, which the default clothing worn by many Shy Guys. They appear in [[Bottle Grotto]] and [[Face Shrine]].  
'''Mask-Mimics'''<ref>''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening: Nintendo Player's Guide'', page 98</ref> are mask-wearing enemies in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'' and its [[Game Boy Color]] port, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX]]''. Mask-Mimics are directly based on [[mariowiki:Shy Guy|Shy Guy]]s from the ''[[mariowiki:Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise, and even share an appearance. In ''Link's Awakening DX'', Mask-Mimics wear a red robe, which the default clothing worn by many Shy Guys. Mask-Mimics appear in two dungeons, [[Bottle Grotto]] and [[Face Shrine]].  


Shy Guys have an entirely unique behavior in the game. They behave similar to another enemy, [[Arm-Mimic]]s, and unlike them, Shy Guys wear a mask that protects them from [[Link]]'s frontal attacks. Shy Guys do not directly attack Link, and instead mimic his movements in reverse. If Link hits a Shy Guy, he loses half of a [[heart]] in health.
Although they resemble the ''Mario'' Shy Guys, Mask-Mimics act entirely different. They behave like another enemy in the game, [[Arm-Mimic]]s, except the only difference is how Mask-Mimics are wearing a mask which protects them from [[Link]]'s frontal attacks. Mask-Mimics do not directly attack Link, and instead mimic his movements in reverse. Link can defeat a Mask-Mimic from behind, though to defeat them with his [[Sword]], he must use a [[Spin Attack]]. Alternatively, Link can instantly defeat a Mask-Mimic with either the [[Boomerang]], the [[Magic Rod]], or by throwing a [[Bomb]] at it. He can also defeat a Mask-Mimic by firing two [[arrow]]s at it. Link can temporarily freeze a Mask-Mimic with the [[Hookshot|Hook Shot]].

In the [[Nintendo Switch]] [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Nintendo Switch)|remake]], a Shy Guy figure is a prize in the [[Trendy Game]], and can be placed on a stand in the northern household of [[Mabe Village]].
