'''Carock''' is a tall [[Wizzrobe]]<ref>M. Arakawa. ''NES Game Atlas''. Page 68.</ref><ref>Averill, Alan, Jessica Folsom, Erik Peterson, and Jacob Ward. ''The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition'' Player's Guide. Page 35.</ref> fought as the boss of the [[Maze Island Palace]] in ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]''. Behaviorally, he is essentially a large, strong version of the [[Wizard]]s found in the [[palace]] in that he teleports around the room firing magic blasts along the floor at Link. Like Wizards, the only way that Link can damage him is by using the [[Reflect]] magic to bounce his spells back at him. Unlike them, Carock warps around very fast, never staying in one spot for more than a moment and firing his magic immediately after appearing. As such, many spells may appear on screen at a time. A spell will not damage him unless it has already been deflected, so if he warps ahead of his own spell it goes through him. Additionally, he may warp into [[Link]] to damage him. After eight reflected spells have hit Carock, he explodes, leaving behind a [[Small Key|key]]. | '''Carock''' is a tall [[Wizzrobe]]<ref>M. Arakawa. ''NES Game Atlas''.

Carock closely resembles the [[magician]] that appears in the game's backstory. It is possible the magician was based in part on Carock, but due to the fact that the backstory was written very late in development, it is unlikely the opposite is true. | Carock closely resembles the [[magician]] that appears in the game's backstory. It is possible the magician was based in part on Carock, but due to the fact that the backstory was written very late in development, it is unlikely the opposite is true. Additionally, Carock's artwork, despite seeming to be from the same artist as the other enemy artwork, does not appear in any Japanese publications and was first seen in ''[[Nintendo Power]]''.<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 4, page 23.</ref><ref>Rocha, Garitt, and Nick von Esmarch. ''Playing With Power: Nintendo NES Classics''. Page 184.</ref> Possibly because of this, it is absent from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Arts & Artifacts]]''. | ||
Carock's in-game appearance varies depending on the region the copy of the game was released in. In the original Japanese version and all Japanese ports, Carock has a single static sprite that always faces the screen. In western releases, he instead has two sprites that face the side, with one having his arms over his chest and the other with his arms splayed out to cast a spell. | Carock's in-game appearance varies depending on the region the copy of the game was released in.
