Fire Wizzrobes are magicians who are based around heat-themed magic. Normal Wizzrobes are sometimes shown with fiery magic in games such as The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures, but these are not considered Fire Wizzrobes.

History

The Legend of Zelda series

The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords

In The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Fire Wizzrobes (referred to simply as Wizrobes, Fire) teleport around, shooting a burning spell in front of them. If a Link is ignited, he will run around uncontrollably for a few seconds. They appear in Death Mountain and Vaati's Palace.

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap

In The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, Fire Wizzrobes, called Firerobes in Commonwealth English releases, appear at the Palace of Winds and Dark Hyrule Castle, acting the same as before.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

In The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, Fire Wizzrobes appear as normal Wizzrobes with red hats instead of their previous burning design. They appear primarily in Turtle Rock, and also appear in the Treacherous Tower. They now float on a consistent level as they teleport around, often in the air over lava. They shoot slow blasts of fire that can be aimed to go upwards or downwards depending on if Link is above or below them. Unlike before, getting burned by them does not cause Link to run. In Turtle Rock, most Fire Wizzrobes cause a bridge segment to appear upon defeat.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Fire Wizzrobes appear sparsely all across Hyrule. As with the game's other Wizzrobes, they primarily move by skipping and usually only teleport for evasion. They normally wield an Fire Rod which can be recovered upon defeating them, though sometimes they instead have a Meteor Rod normally reserved for their more powerful counterpart, the Meteo Wizzrobe.

Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the NecroDancer featuring The Legend of Zelda

In Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the NecroDancer featuring The Legend of Zelda, Fire Wizzrobes teleport and shoot in time to the beat and appear Hyrule Castle and the Future World. In the future version of Hyrule included as downloadable content in the digital release and in the base version of the physical release, an armored variety called Skull Fire Wizzrobe appears.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity

In Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, Fire Wizzrobes appear as enemy captains marked by a Fire Rod icon on the map. The first time the player defeats one, they permanently gain a Fire Rod, and for every further one beaten, they gain magical crystals to recharge it. As with all Wizzrobes in the game, their long-distance attack can be perfect dodged against and their wide area attack can be halted prematurely with Remote Bombs. Fire Wizzrobes also appear in Divine Beast battles, using more powerful flame magic.
