{{Float|left|[[File:Red_Wizzrobe.gif]]}}In ''The Legend of Zelda'', Wizzrobes appear solely in dungeons. There are two color varieties, red and blue. Red Wizzrobes appear in front of [[Link]] and attack with a magic spell, whereas Blue Wizzrobes are less predictable, warping across rooms and rapidly firing their spells if Link is in their line of sight. Due to not reversing direction, the optimal approach to defeating a Blue Wizzrobe is to attack from behind. The Magical Shield may block Wizzrobe spells. Other than the [[sword]], only [[bomb]]s can damage Wizzrobes.

{{Float|right|[[File:Wizzrobe_MM.png]]}}The Wizzrobe, misspelled '''Wizrobe''' in-game, makes its first 3D appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. Its appearance is significantly different from previous Wizzrobes. Unlike its predecessors, the Wizzrobe is encountered as a [[Mini-Boss]] instead of an enemy. Link encounters the Wizzrobe five times during his quest to save [[Termina]].

Link first encounters two Wizzrobes in [[Snowhead Temple]] as the guardian of the [[Fire Arrow]]s and the [[Boss Key]]. As one of the three Mini-Bosses in the [[Ancient Castle of Ikana]], Link once again fights a Wizzrobe. This time, however, once defeated, Link is not rewarded with anything. Link also encounters the Wizzrobe in [[Stone Tower Temple]] and the [[Secret Shrine]].

Link also encounters the Wizzrobe in [[Stone Tower Temple]] and the [[Secret Shrine]].


The Wizzrobes in Snowhead Temple and the Secret Shrine use ice magic to attack Link. This will freeze Link and the floor. Even if Link avoids the actual ice, he could potentially be frozen by the ring of frost that forms from his magic. However, the Wizzrobes in Ikana Castle and Stone Tower Temple use fire magic that will bursts into several smaller fireballs and will also take more damage to defeat.

The Wizzrobe will teleport itself through the four pads which are located throughout the room. If Link gets too close to the Wizzrobe as it is appearing, it will teleport to another pad. It will try to attack Link by shooting out ice or fire. Once it has warped, Link should attack the Wizzrobe by using the Sword, [[Bow]], [[Bomb]]s, Blast Mask, or becoming [[Goron Link]] before it has a chance to attack him. Once Link has done enough damage to the Wizzrobe, it will split in four, meaning three of the four Wizzrobes are illusionary copies. Now, the real Wizzrobe will not teleport away if Link gets to close to it while still appearing, making the battle easier for Link. Link can use the map to detect which Wizzrobe is the real one or simply look at each Wizzrobe; the real one looks less like an illusion than the rest.

There are 6 types of Wizzrobe to be encountered in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', The [[Fire Wizzrobe|Fire]], [[Ice Wizzrobe|Ice]] and [[Electric Wizzrobe|Electric]] Wizzrobes, along with their more powerful versions: the [[Meteo Wizzrobe]], the [[Blizzrobe]] and the [[Thunder Wizzrobe]].

Wizzrobes in ''Breath of the Wild'' are disturbingly jovial creatures that spend most of their time prancing mid-air around ruins (it's implied that they created said ruins and killed all inhabitants in them). They salute Link when he's spotted, and giggle childishly while attacking. They disappear from time to time, just showing their prancing steps in the air while they move.
 
The most effective method to defeat them if no counter weapons are available is to use [[Stasis]] to prevent them from disappearing, stunning them with arrows to the head, and then attacking them when they drop to the ground.
 
If counter weapons are available, Wizzrobes can be killed immediately by attacking them with elemental weapons. Fire and Meteo Wizzrobes can be one-hit killed with ice weapons, while Ice and Blizzrobes can be slain with fire weapons or bomb arrows. Electric and Thunder Wizzrobes have no particular counter weapons to be used, so the aforementioned method is recommended.
 
====Drops====
 
Wizzrobes, unlike most other enemies in the game (except [[Cursed Bokoblin]]s, [[Cursed Lizalfos]], [[Cursed Moblin]]s and [[Malice]]), drop no loot when slain other than their weapons, and sublimate into thin air.

[[Bokoblin]]s in some [[Encampment|encampments]] have been shown to use rods, and the Blights may sport non-recoverable variations of them. Some of these weapons may also be found in select [[Treasure Chest|treasure chests]] across [[Hyrule]] (only a handful or less per weapon in the whole map).

===Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity===
 
Wizzrobes in ''Age of Calamity'' largely have the same moveset as in ''Breath of the Wild'', but can attack more frequently and are more resilient. As most other elemental enemies in the game, they're susceptible to rods and [[Rune]]s that are contrary to their elements, making their special attack meter be more vulnerable and easier to break.
 
Wizzrobes initially drop their rods when defeated, but they later drop elemental items to replenish said rods. A caveat to their resilience is the fact that their hitboxes are larger than in ''Breath of the Wild'', which means that it's not absolutely necessary to reach their floating altitude to hit them.
