Zazaks,[1] formerly known as Dragonmen,[2] are a species of humanoid crocodilians first shown in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. They closely resemble Dairas, particularly with their mohawk-like crests, and come in indigo and red. Their artwork, however, shows them as crestless and teal.
History[edit]
The Legend of Zelda series[edit]
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past[edit]
In The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Dragonmen are found in Thieves' Town, where they wander around on the lower portion of the main large rooms. They move aimlessly, though the red ones spit a fireball at Link when facing him. The main danger comes from not being able to see them part of the time due to the large bridges above. This is compounded by the Usagi Beams nearby, cursing Link into Bunny Link, who cannot fight the Dragonmen. Later, they appear in Ganon's Tower.
The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds[edit]
In The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, Zazaks appear in the Thieves' Hideout and only use their original behavior prior to seeing Link, after which they pursue him incessantly in a lumbering manner. They primarily appear while helping the Thief Girl to escape, appearing in groups and attempting to reach her. If they do, she and Link will be taken back to her cell. In one room, there is a Crystal Switch that opens a huge, room-spanning trapdoor to get rid of all of them at once. Appearance-wise, they lack the plated skirts and lack pupils. Red ones are unique to the Treacherous Tower and no longer shoot fire, being simply a more durable version of the indigo ones.
