Called Hiploops once again, these enemies make a return in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords|Four Swords]]''. In this game they are red, with a pointed helmet, making them look more like Iron Masks from the ''Oracle'' games and ''Link's Awakening''. If they see Link, they will charge at him, and he must dodge and then slash at their exposed back.
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords|Four Swords]]'', Helmasaur are red creatures that wear a white pointed helmet. This shares a resemblence with the Iron Masks that appear in ''Link's Awakening DX'', ''Oracle of Seasons'', and ''Oracle of Ages''. If a Helmasaur sees Link, they will charge at him, and he must dodge and then slash at their exposed back.


A simpler method employs the [[Magnet]], which is usually found in areas where Hiploops appear, to pull off their helmet. Now vulnerable to all attacks, they will run away, but after a bit they will just move around randomly, hurting [[Link (A Link to the Past)|Link]] if he touches them.
