Shy Guys are enemies from Link's Awakening, based on the enemies from the Mario franchise. They were known as Mask-Mimics in versions of Link's Awakening prior to the 2019 Nintendo Switch remake.

Mask-Mimics are strange enemies that copy Link's movements in opposite directions, much like the Arm-Mimic.[1] A simple sword slash will do nothing but push this enemy back. Link's sword will only harm a Mask-Mimic if he uses a spin attack on it from behind. Alternatively, they can be defeated with arrows or bombs. Link 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.
Link's Awakening (Nintendo Switch)
Shy Guys now take their name from the Mario series, but function as in earlier versions. A Shy Guy figure can be won in the Trendy Game after the completion of the Face Shrine dungeon, provided Link has collected all the figures already available as prizes. Once obtained, it can be placed on a stand in the Quadruplet's House.
