Lizalfos: Difference between revisions

'''Lizalfos''' are lizard-like enemies that appear in some ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|Zelda]]'' games. They are usually experts at combat and sometimes even have body armor.

==Appearances==

===Ocarina of Time===

Lizalfos in ''Ocarina of Time'' have little armor, and are very agile. They aren't a very common enemy, and aren't very powerful either. [[Link]] first encounters this enemy in [[Dodongo's Cavern]], Lizalfos being the mini-bosses of that [[Dungeon|dungeon]]. The best way for Link to defeat them is to us a shield to block their attack causing the Lizalfos to lose its footing for a short period of time allowing Link to strike. There is only one type of Lizalfos in ''Ocarina of Time''.

====Normal Lizalfos====

Lizalfos in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'' resemble lizards with human-like attributes. They wield stone gauntlets, which they can use to block Link's attacks. These Lizalfos have a very defensive attack strategy. They will normally dodge out of the way of any attack tried with the sword unless they are taunting Link. When taunting they protect themselves with the stone gauntlet. If Link's [[Sword|sword]] hits the gauntlet they immediately attack with their tail. They can also breath fire to damage Link. Directional slashes are necessary to hit this enemy, followed by crazed sword slashes. They take 9 hits with the [[Goddess Sword]].

====Dark Lizalfos====

{{Main|Dark Lizalfos}}

Found in the [[Fire Sanctuary (Skyward Sword)|Fire Sanctuary]], Dark Lizalfos exhibit the same behavior as normal Lizalfos except they are faster and breath dark smoke which curses Link, making him unable to draw his sword or use any items for a short amount of time.
