{{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, [[warp]]ing 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 (The Legend of Zelda)|sword]], only [[bomb]]s can damage Wizzrobes.

[[File:Wizzrobe-2.png|left]]Wizzrobes are first encountered within [[Misery Mire (A Link to the Past)|Misery Mire]], the sixth dungeon found in the [[Dark World]]. These enemies appear in a very similar fashion as they had in the previous two ''Zelda'' titles. They will appear, shoot a beam toward Link, and then fade away. After a few moments, they will appear once again. Each time they appear, they will face the direction that is closest to where Link is.

Wizzrobes in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'' bear a striking resemblance to their ''A Link to the Past'' counterparts. As in ''The Adventure of Link'', the sword does no damage against them. Link must utilize bombs or [[arrow]]s to exterminate the vermin.

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]].

{{Float|left|[[File:Wizzrobe_MM.png]]}}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.

==''Oracle of Seasons'' and ''Oracle of Ages''==

{{Float|left|[[File:Wizzrobe_Oracles.png]]}}There are several types of Wizzrobes present in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]''. Green Wizzrobes are immobile and attack from beneath their hats. Red Wizzrobes remain facing Link and are very erratic in their behavior, incessantly teleporting across the screen. Blue Wizzrobes assume transparency and pass through obstacles. Unlike their ''Link's Awakening'' counterparts, Wizzrobes may be defeated with the sword.

Wizzrobes in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' resemble toucans and emit screeching noises when Link approaches. They are more intelligent than previous counterparts. The first encounter with this foe occurs in the [[Tower of the Gods]]. They also populate the [[Wind Temple (The Wind Waker)|Wind Temple]], [[Hidden Hole]]s, [[Lookout Tower|towers]] scattered across the [[Great Sea]], and the [[Savage Labyrinth]].

There are three varieties of Wizzrobe present in the game. Regular Wizzrobes shoot fire in three direction. Blue Wizzrobes behave in much the same way but done a blue tunic instead and are located solely in the Great Sea, Wizzrobes' first appearance in the [[Overworld]]. Yellow Wizzrobes are able to summon enemies. They have twice as much health as other variants.

The [[Red Wizzrobe]] is the [[Mini-Boss]] of the Wind Temple. It may summon Yellow Wizzrobes as well as [[Darknut]]s and [[Moblin]]s.

{{Float|left|[[File:Wizzrobe_(The_Minish_Cap).gif]]}}In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', there are three types of Wizzrobe, including normal Wizzrobe who wear green robes. There are then elemental Wizzrobes including [[Ice Wizzrobe]]s and [[Fire Wizzrobe]]. The green variants will disappear and reappear at difference part of the room. When they reappear they will charge up and shoot a beam out towards Link. It will take three slashes with the base [[White Sword]] to defeat a Wizzrobe.

[[File:Wizzrobe Ice.gif]] An Ice Wizzrobe is a Wizzrobe that will shoot ice beams at Link which freezes him. An effective way to defeat an Ice Wizzrobe is to use a [[Flame Lantern]] and walk up to him.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'', the Wizzrobes return with a similar bird-like design to those from ''The Wind Waker''. They appear only in the lower floors of the [[Temple of the Ocean King]], remaining invisible and sneaking up on Link while he is facing away from them. If they get close enough to Link, they will slash at him with a scythe. They can only be tracked by keeping an eye on the map, where they will appear as enemy icons. If Link knows where they are, he can defeat them with any well-placed attack. Standing in a [[Safe Zone]] will also prevent the Wizzrobes from seeing and sneaking up on Link.

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.

Wizzrobes in ''[[Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity|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.
