They first appear in [[Misery Mire]], where they act basically like the orange ones in the first game. Later, [[Ganon's Tower]] has an indigo-robed variety with a skull over its face, though beyond a strength increase they act no different. | ||

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'', Wizzrobes are first found in [[Eagle's Tower]]. They are now mostly immune to the sword, with it only pushing them. Similar to the orange ones in the original, they blink into existence. However, while they are doing so, they appear as an empty hat on the floor, thus allowing them to change direction before they appear. They also do not warp, simply blinking in and out of the same spot. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX]]'' and the [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]], Wizzrobes wear a green hat and tan clothes. | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'', Wizzrobes are first found in [[Eagle's Tower]].

Their design is vastly different, appearing as lanky teal baboon-like creatures. Notably, their faces are fully-visible, and their robes only cover their torsos. This game introduces the concept of having Wizzrobes be divided between ice and fire types, though they are visually identical here. Aside from using their elemental magic, Wizrobes warp between several lit tiles on the floor. If Link tries to attack one too quickly, it will warp away, so he must wait for it to start spinning and dancing as it prepares a spell. After enough damage is taken, it will summon several ghost images of it to run between the tiles it is not on to distract Link while it prepares a spell. However, the real one is the only one to appear on the mini-map, and the only one [[Tatl]] goes to. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D|Majora's Mask 3D]]'', it no longer appears on the mini-map, as is the case with most other enemies to previously do so. | ||
An ice-using Wizrobe first appears as the main mid-boss of the [[Snowhead Temple]], guarding the [[Fire Arrow]]s. Later, another one appears higher up in the temple. The last time one appears is in the [[Secret Shrine]] in [[Ikana Canyon]], alongside the other arrow-guarding mid-bosses. A fire-based Wizrobe first appears in [[Ikana Castle]], and later appears occasionally in [[Stone Tower Temple]]. Notably, the last one seems to be treated as a generic enemy, as it lacks the miniboss music. It is fought in the flipped version of a room with a lava floor, so lava rock falls occasionally from the ceiling as an additional obstacle. | An ice-using Wizrobe first appears as the main mid-boss of the [[Snowhead Temple]], guarding the [[Fire Arrow]]s.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'', Wizzrobes are again late-game enemies, and are now found in three colors. The red-hatted and blue-hatted ones act like the orange and blue ones from the first game, respectively, and the green-hatted ones act like the ones from ''Link's Awakening'', but can now be damaged by the sword. In ''Oracle of Ages'', all three are prominently found in the [[Mermaid's Cave]]. | |||

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords]]'', Wizzrobes are tall, red-clothed, and have long, white beards. They act like the orange ones from the first game, but much slower and less powerful, with them needing to visibly charge up their spells. This game also features the red, flame-hatted '''Fire Wizzrobe''' and the blue, ice crystal-hatted '''Ice Wizzrobe'''. Fire Wizzrobe spells cause a Link to run around uncontrollably while on fire, and Ice Wizzrobe spells freeze him in place. | |||

They are first encountered in the [[Tower of the Gods]]. Wizzrobes primarily come in a red hood and a dark blue mantle, also known as '''Blue Wizzrobe'''<ref>''The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD'' Prima Official Game Guide, page 162.</ref>, whose magic creates fireballs. A unique-colored Blue Wizzrobe with a blue hood and white mantle is mostly encountered on [[Lookout Platform]]s in the area around the [[Seven-Star Isles]], but acts the same as the regular ones. The yellow-hooded Wizzrobe, also known as '''Summoning Wizzrobe'''<ref>''The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD'' Prima Official Game Guide, page 221.</ref>, has twice the amount of health as normal Wizzrobes and is additionally capable of summoning weak enemies. The [[Wind Temple]] features a larger orange-robed Summoning Wizzrobe with a golden headdress, also known as a '''Red Wizzrobe'''<ref>''The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker'' Player's Guide, page 64.</ref>, who is fought as a mini-boss. The Red Wizzrobe's magic is powerful enough it can summon a much wider variety of enemies, including whole clouds of [[Keese]] and even weaker Wizzrobes. | ||

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures]]'', Wizzrobes wear tan robes and brown hats. They also have red hands. They act like most previous incarnations, warping around and firing magic blasts. However, both the warping and blasting effects are much brighter and louder than previous 2D depictions. When warping, a large amount of brown circles spiral inwards, with them appearing in a puff of smoke while emerging from their hat on the ground. When warping away, they simply duck into their hat, which vanishes in a shadow. They can attack with ice magic and fire magic, the latter of which leaves a trail of flames on the floor, and can also summon a large green sphere over their heads which steals [[Force Gem]]s from the Links until the Wizzrobe is damaged. After two hits, they will be defeated, and let out a ghostly cry. | |||

They warp between various locations, occasionally twirling to gain more height, thus necessitating a [[totem]] position to reach them, before blasting out freezing ice magic. They are often found around flimsy ice platforms over bottomless pits, but are generally only found around other Ice Wizzrobes. They also appear in the [[Den of Trials]]. | ||

They typically skip through the air, with every "step" making a dripping sound. Their faces are visible, being toothy and imp-like, and they constantly giggle while fighting Link. They have tall conical hoods that go far above their heads. They are divided between three elemental varieties, with the red-hooded Fire Wizzrobes, the blue-hooded Ice Wizzrobes, and the yellow-hooded '''Electric Wizzrobes'''. Each type has a stronger variant with a slightly different mantle color, being the '''Meteo Wizzrobes''', the '''Blizzrobes''', and the '''Thunder Wizzrobes'''. They drop no recoverable materials, though their magic rods can be used to fire elemental projectiles. They are also quite flimsy as blunt weapons, and as such will break easily if hit directly against enough things. The rod types are the [[Fire Rod]], [[Ice Rod]], [[Lightning Rod]], [[Meteor Rod]], [[Blizzard Rod]], and [[Thunder Rod]]. Generally, the rod corresponds to the Wizzrobe's own specific variety, though sometimes a Wizzrobe may wield a rod of the stronger or weaker version of its element, such as a Fire Wizzrobe wielding a Meteor Rod or Meteo Wizzrobe wielding a Fire Rod. A particular area filled with enormous hollow stumps has one type of Wizzrobe in most of the stumps, but otherwise they are generally not found near ones of other types. | ||

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]], Wizzrobe appears in Chapter 9: Wizzrobe's Trap. After being told by a [[Maiden]] that [[Princess Zelda]] is being held in [[Turtle Rock]], Link begins hearing a pleading telepathic voice that sounds like Zelda's from across a dangerous wasteland, and stubbornly insists on following, prompting [[Epheremelda]] to leave him out of anger. After traversing the wasteland, Link comes across [[Misery Mire|a huge swamp]], where he sees what looks like Zelda tangled in vine-like tentacles. However, he then remembers being told Zelda is in Turtle Rock, and the Zelda in front of him reveals herself to actually be Wizzrobe, who paraphrases the {{wp|Wicked Witch of the West}} before trapping him in the same vines. Wizzrobe then eagerly prepares to feed him to [[Vitreous]], whom he is apparently quite fond of, but before Vitreous can do anything, [[King Zora|Zora]] appears from a [[Whirlpool Waterway]], sweeping away both Wizzrobe and Vitreous and causing Vitreous's many eyes to scatter, with one bonking against Wizzrobe's face. | 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]], Wizzrobe appears in Chapter 9: Wizzrobe's Trap.
