Red Dairas are more powerful than their orange counterparts. Instead of charging forward, they throw a limitless stream axes at [[Link]].

Orange Diaras do not throw their axes, but they only hack their axe continuously as their opponent draws near. They are particularly powerful, and should be fought with caution. It is best to do several hit and run tactics on the Orange Diara to avoid getting hurt.

In this game, Dairas are wearing an armor with cape, but not wield any weapons at all. They are one of the most common enemies that appear in [[Gargoyle's Domain]], a Dark World dungeon. They also appear in the last dungeon of the game, [[Ganon's Tower]] and the bonus dungeon, [[Palace of the Four Sword]]. Their official English name was never released. But, their Japanese name is "'''Zazakku'''"; the same as the Japanese name for Dairas in The Adventure of Link. They come in two variation in this game; blue and red.
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' there is a similar looking enemy known as a [[Zazak]]. Zazak come in two color forms, Red and Blue. Both of them are quite dangerous, but the Red ones have the ability to shoot fireballs out towards Link.
 
====Blue Diara====
 
Blue Dairas simply move around at random, damaging Link if he touch ones. They have a great defense that allows them to withstand a few blows even from the [[Master Sword]].
 
====Red Diara====
 
Red Dairas are more dangerous than the blue variety, and they also able to spit fireballs at Link. Link can only blocked these fireballs with the [[Mirror Shield]] he obtains late in the game. Red Dairas also have twice more defense than the blue ones.
