Shy Guy

Mask-Mimics are enemies that have appeared in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. They are based off from the Shy Guy enemy in the Super Mario Bros games.

Appearances

Mask-Mimics are strange enemies that copy your movements in opposite directions, much like the Arm-Mimic. A simple sword slash will do nothing but push this enemy back. Your sword will only harm a Mask-Mimic if you use a spin attack on it from behind. Alternatively, they can defeated with Arrows or Bombs. You can also pick up objects such as pots to throw at Mask-Mimics to take them out quickly. They can be found in Bottle Grotto and Face Shrine .
