Seen in many games throughout the series, <b>Helmasaurs</b> (also known as <b>Iron Masks</b> or <b>Hiploops</b>) are dinosaur-like enemies who make use of their hard masks in their front as a defense against most weapons. The easiest way to damage them is from behind or to forceably remove their masks by various means.

===Link's Awakening===
===Link's Awakening===

{{Main|Iron Mask}}
<b>Iron Masks</b> as they are called in ''Link's Awakening'' are very similar to Helmasaurs from ''A Link to the Past''. They have red bodies and white masks and are found in [[Angler's Tunnel]], [[Catfish's Maw]], and [[Eagle's Tower]]. They are dispatched the same way as their ''A Link to the Past'' brothers, but can also have their masks removed through the use of the [[Hookshot]]. Once their mask is removed they can be dispatched even easier. They also take out half a heart if contact is made with them.

In ''Link's Awakening'', there is a very similar enemy referred to as an [[Iron Mask]]. It it very similar to a Helmasaur and is defeated in a similar fashion.
 
===Majora's Mask===

Called by their original Japanese name in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', <b>Hiploops</b> are encountered in both the [[Woodfall Temple]] and the [[Stone Tower Temple]]. In the game, they charge at Link many times knocking him off the edge of something. Without their masks on they look more like insects in this game, then the dinosaur look seen in the other games of the series. Link can turn the enemies around by using his shield, or taking off their mask using the hookshot.

===Oracle of Ages===
 
Once again called Iron Masks in this game, they behave and look the exact same way they did in ''Link's Awakening''. One notable difference however is how Link removes the mask from the enemy. In this game he must utilize the [[Switch Hook]], an item similair to the hookshot, to take off the mask. After that all Link has to do is simply slash at it with his sword.
===Oracle of Seasons and Ages===
===Oracle of Seasons===
{{Main|Iron Mask}}
Just like in ''Oracle of Ages'' and ''Link's Awakening'', in order for Link to defeat these enemies he must either slash at it from behind with his sword or remove the mask, using a certain item. In this game that item is the [[Magnetic Glove]] which will pull the mask off of the enemy.
In both ''Oracle of Seasons'' and ''Oracle of Ages'', the same Iron Masks from Link's Awakening make their re-appearance.
 
===Four Swords===
===Four Swords===
Called Hiploops once again, these enemies make a return in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords|Four Swords]]''. In this game they are red, with a pointed helmet (making them look more like Iron Masks from the ''Oracle'' games and ''Link's Awakening''). They will charge at Link, in which he must dodge and then slash at their exposed back.
