In ''Link's Awakening'', there is a very similar enemy referred to as an [[Iron Mask]]. It is very similar to a Helmasaur and is defeated in a similar fashion.

Called by their original Japanese name in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', Hiploops are encountered in both the [[Woodfall Temple]] and the [[Stone Tower Temple]]. In the game, they charge at Link many times knocking him off the edge of something. Without their masks on they look more like insects in this game than the dinosaur look seen in the other games of the series. Link can turn the enemies around by using his shield, or taking off their mask using the hookshot.

==''Four Swords''==
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords|Four Swords]]'', Helmasaur are red creatures that wear a white pointed helmet. This shares a resemblance 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.
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords|Four Swords]]'', Helmasaur are red creatures that wear a white pointed helmet. This shares a resemblance with the Iron Masks that appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX|Link's Awakening DX]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'', and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]''. If a Helmasaur sees [[Link (Four Swords)|Link]], they will charge at him, and he must dodge and then slash at their exposed back.


A simpler method employs the [[Magnetic Glove]], which is usually found in areas where Helmasaurs appear. The Magnetic Glove will pull off their helmet, making them vulnerable to all attacks. They will run away, but after a bit they will just move around randomly, hurting Link if he touches them.

Returning in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', they look just like they did in ''Four Swords''. Be careful of their sharp, protective mask, as the Helmasaur will charge at Link once they see him. They can be defeated with one slash to their backside, but you can also blow off their mask using the [[Gust Jar]] as a simpler approach to remove their defense.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', they can be found in the [[Lakebed Temple]], [[City in the Sky]], [[Cave of Ordeals]], and [[Hyrule Field]]. In this game they look more dinosaur-like, having greyish-green skin and wearing a mask on the top of their head. In the game, they will charge at Link requiring him to dodge them. If Link can get to the backside of this monster, he can then attack it by slashing at it with his sword. He can also remove the mask with the [[Clawshot]], causing it to lose its only form of defense. After it loses its mask, it can still charge at Link though, so it is best to take it out quickly. After defeating it, the enemy will leave behind its mask, which can be picked up and used by Link for tossing at enemies and for weighing down switches. He also picks up the mask if he uses the clawshot on it.
