Zazakku are enemies that appear within A Link to the Past. They are similar to the Daira from The Adventure of Link as well as the Dinalfos from latter games in the series.
Blue Zazakku
Blue Zazakku wears armor with cape, but do not wield any weapons at all. They are one of the most common enemies that appear in Gargoyle's Domain, the fourth dungeon found within the Dark World. Blue Zazakku later appear in Ganon's Tower, as well as within the Palace of the Four Sword.
Blue Zazakkus simply move around at random, slowly creeping towards Link. Their only form of attack is to simply walk right into Link. Since they move rather slow and are big targets, it's quite easy for Link to defend himself. If Link does come into contact with a Blue Zazakku, two full hearts of damage will be done. Fortunately, these enemies don't have much health and Link can defeat them with one swipe from his Master Sword.
Red Zazakku
Red Zazakkus are much more dangerous than the blue variety. They move around in similar patterns as the Blue Zazakku, but the main difference is that they have the ability to shoot fireballs. These are rather strong fireballs that Link cannot even block with his Fire Shield. However, he can block them late in the game after acquiring the Mirror Shield.
The Fireballs will do two hearts of damage, the same amount of damage done if the Zazakku just runs into Link. The Red Zazakku are a bit more resilient than the blue variety, needing two strikes from Link's Master Sword to be defeated.
Trivia
- The official English name for Zazakku was never released. However, its Japanese name is Zazakku, the same as the Japanese name for Dairas in The Adventure of Link.
