'''Wallmasters''', alternatively '''Wall Masters''', are giant hand-like enemies that fall from the ceiling. If they grab [[Link]], he will be transported back to the entrance of the dungeon. While another enemy called "[[Wallmaster (The Legend of Zelda)|Wallmaster]]" or "Wall Master" appeared in the original ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', they are regarded as a different, but closely-related enemy.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]'', Wallmasters are found in [[Skull Woods]], appearing as large brown hands. They cast large shadows as they fall from the top of the screen. Sometimes, if Link enters a North-facing door, a rising Wallmaster will continue to rise through the next room. If a Wallmaster is defeated, it is fairly quickly replaced.

[[File:Wallmaster OoT model.png|frame]]
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'', Wallmasters are dark brown, clawed, and have blue wrists, a design shared with [[Floormaster]]. They are first found in the rotatable rooms of the [[Forest Temple]], and later appear in the [[Bottom of the Well]], the [[Spirit Temple]], the [[Dark Palace|Shadow Temple]], and [[Ganon's Castle]]. When Link enters a room with one, [[Navi]] will warn him about "the shadows of monsters hanging from the ceiling." A falling Wallmaster makes a loud  but low whooshing sound, while a growing shadow appears where it is going to fall, which is capable of moving. In the originals, the shadow is a simple circle, but in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D|Ocarina of Time 3D]]'', it is hand-shaped. In some dungeons, a Wallmaster is spawned as a trap if an incorrect [[Sun switch]] is activated, with no warning from Navi. A defeated Wallmaster always gives a very large amount of [[Rupee]]s in combinations of red and blue, often going between 30 and 50. They usually respawn if Link exits and re-enters a room, but will not if it is a switch-summoned one. In the [[Master Quest]] mode of later re-releases, it can be seen that if a Wallmaster grabs Link while he is being latched onto by a ReDead, the ReDead will be pulled up with him, but have vanished by the time Link is deposited at the dungeon's entrance.

They usually respawn if Link exits and re-enters a room, but will not if it is a switch-summoned one.

In ''Ocarina of Time 3D'', their texture details are given more contrast and thus are more visible, while their wrists are made light blue.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]'', Wallmasters appear as they do in ''Ocarina of Time'', but much less commonly. They appear [[Beneath the Graveyard]] and [[Beneath the Well]]. They give 15 or 20 Rupees upon defeat.

Wallmasters appear in both ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages]]'', where they are red and act like they do in ''A Link to the Past''. However, they are now Link's size. In ''Oracle of Ages'', on also appears in a scene near the end where [[Veran]] uses one to bring Link back to her for a final battle.
Wallmasters appear in both ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages]]'', where they are red and act like they do in ''A Link to the Past''. However, they are now Link's size. Unlike Floormasters in the same games, they are almost always infinite when they appear. In the former game, they are unique to the [[Sword & Shield Maze]], but in the latter, they appear as early as the [[Spirit's Grave]]. In ''Oracle of Ages'', one also appears in a scene near the end where [[Veran]] uses one to bring Link back to her for a final battle; this one uses a Floormaster's sprites colored red.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures]]'', Wallmasters resemble their design from ''Ocarina of Time'', but with a color and pose similar to the ones in ''A Link to the Past''. They appear solely in the [[Palace of Winds]], where they fall onto small platforms that can only be reached by the level 2 [[Pegasus Boots]] while avoiding [[Traps]]. They quickly fade in and fall, so the Links must keep moving. Each only falls once, however.

[[File:Wallmaster TMC sprite.png|frame]]
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap]]'', Wallmasters are huge and black, with a glowing orange outline. Aside from their coloration, their graphics are shared with Floormasters. Their design is based off the aesthetic of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]]'', having two large swirls drawn on their backs. They first appear in [[Fortress of Winds]], and later appear in [[Dark Hyrule Castle]]. Defeating one causes it to stop falling until the room is reloaded.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes]]'', Wallmasters appear in a type of [[Drablands Challenge]] called [[Evade the Wallmaster]]. Unlike most enemies in the game that appeared in ''A Link Between Worlds'', this Wallmaster has a wholly different model, being black with gold plates on the ends, and several glowing cyan rings and a similar glowing [[Sheikah]] emblem on the back. However, they act exactly the same, though getting hit causes the challenge to immediately be failed. They can also appear in the [[Coliseum]].

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Nintendo Switch)|The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'' for [[Nintendo Switch]], the [[+Wallmasters Effect]] can be unlocked for the [[Chamber Dungeon]] by completing the [[Ticking Clock]] challenge. Entering the chamber they are placed in will activate them for the remainder of the dungeon, and if Link is caught, he will be sent back to the entrance.
