'''Hiploop''' is the Japanese name for the more commonly found ''Zelda'' enemy known as [[Helmasaur]]. However, in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', the enemy did not receive the same name translation and instead retained the name Hiploop. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords|Four Swords]]'', the Hiploop is identical to ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'' counterpart, however, it was given the name Hiploop instead of Helmasaur. The face on these small creatures are its weakspot, however, they are protected by a mask that can be pulled off.

When Link later encounters the Hiploop within the [[Stone Tower Temple]], it now has its large metal blue mask. Link can remove this mask by using the [[Hookshot]], [[Bomb]]s, or the [[Blast Mask]]. At this point, the enemy can be defeated quite easily.

In ''Four Swords'', the Hiploop are the identical enemy as the Helmasaur from ''The Minish Cap''. They are small red creatures with an iron mask that charges at Link when they see him. In ''Four Swords'', Link can remove their mask by using the [[Magnetic Gloves]], making the enemies helpless to almost any single attack. While it is much more difficult, Link can defeat a Hiploop before his mask is removed by attacking the enemy from its backside.
