Shy Guy | |
---|---|
A Mask-Mimic as it appears in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX | |
First appearance | The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (1993) |
Latest appearance | The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX (1998) |
Mask-Mimics[1] 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 Shy Guys from the Mario franchise, and even share an appearance. In Link's Awakening DX, Mask-Mimics wear a red robe, which the default clothing wore by many Shy Guys. Mask-Mimics appear in two dungeons, Bottle Grotto and Face Shrine.
Although they resemble the Mario Shy Guys, Mask-Mimics act entirely different. They behave like another enemy in the game, Arm-Mimics, 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, Link 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 arrows at it. Link can temporarily freeze a Mask-Mimic with the Hook Shot.
