History
The Legend of Zelda series
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Lizalfos are uncommon dungeon enemies. Link encounters two pairs acting as tag teams in Dodongo's Cavern, both of which are the mini-bosses. These Lizalfos often take turns while fighting Link, because taking after a number of hits, the Lizalfos hops to the next platform, leaving the other Lizalfos to attack Link. Both Lizalfos in the pair are defeated after Link strikes them with his sword several times. Two generic enemy ones that are not in a team setup later appear in the Spirit Temple, individually dropping from the ceiling in one room. Lizalfos are more common in the Master Quest, appearing in places such as Lord Jabu Jabu's Belly, the Fire Temple, and the Water Temple; in these instances, they always use the unlinked "fall from ceiling" behavior.
During combat, Lizalfos frequently make high-pitched yips and jump around the room. Lizalfos carry a sword with them, and they can jump over Link's head and strike him from behind. Link can temporarily stun a Lizalfos by either throwing a Deku Nut or by using his shield to block their attack.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
In The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Lizalfos have a more theropod-like appearance, and they are slightly bulkier and have dark-scaled skin. Lizalfos are more common than in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Lizalfos appear in several dungeons, including the Lakebed Temple, the Temple of Time, the City in the Sky, Hyrule Castle, and the Cave of Ordeals. They only appear in one overworld area, Hyrule Field. The game also introduces a similar, aerial enemy, Aeralfos.
Several Lizalfos are clad in a thin leather loincloth and various tribal jewelry. They are typically armed with scimitar-like swords, squared bucklers, and an axehead attached to the end of their tail. Some variants wear a skull mask and bone jewelry. Link can defeat a Lizalfos by firing a Bomb Arrows or by using one of his Hidden Skills. Some Lizalfos make a low growling noise when attacked or defeated. When shot with arrows, the arrows stick in their skin instead of disappearing.
