Lizalfos: Difference between revisions

Lizalfos in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' have little armor, and are very agile. They are not a very common enemy, and are not very powerful either. [[Link]] first encounters this enemy in [[Dodongo's Cavern]], Lizalfos being the mini-bosses of that 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''. The Lizalfos can leap over attacks and usually run away to another platform after two strikes. Deku Nuts may stun them for a short period of time allowing Link a window in which he can strike them with the sword.  

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 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 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]].

Often found in the coldest regions of the game, these Lizalfos have the unique ability of being about to spit out many icy balls at will. If these balls come into contact with Link, they will freeze him, and leave him vulnerable to other attacks. Upon death, they will drop an [[Icy Lizalfos Tail]].

These are the most powerful versions of the Lizalfos in the regular mode of the game. They are much more aggresive than any other versions, and have faster attacking speed, especially with bows. They can carry elemental arrows, and have significantly more health than weaker variants. Upon death, they can drop rare materials such as [[Sapphire]] or [[Topaz]], as well as an assortment of Lizalfos goods.
