Wallmaster: Difference between revisions

[[File:Wallmaster-LoZ-Sprite.png|left]]

Wallmasters debut in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', where they are frequently found in dungeons, and will come through the wall attempting to grab [[Link]]. This will result in Link starting from the entrance of the dungeon.

[[File:Wallmaster-2.png|left]]Wallmasters first appear within [[Skull Woods (A Link to the Past)|Skull Woods]], the third dungeon of the [[Dark World]]. Unlike their appearance from ''The Legend of Zelda'', Wallmasters come from the ceiling instead of the wall. Initially, they appear hidden as if they are not in the room. However, a shadow will appear and a noise can be heard as the Wallmaster drops from the ceiling. The Wallmaster will attempt to drop down and grab [[Link]]. If it successfully does so, it will take Link back to the entrance of the dungeon. In Skull Woods, since there are multiple dungeon entrances, it will take Link back to where he last entered the dungeon.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', Wallmasters once again hang from the ceiling and drop down on Link. A shadow and an ominous noise will signal their approach, as well as a brief comment from [[Navi]] upon entering the room that suggests that Link watch out for the monsters. They are first encountered in the [[Forest Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Forest Temple]] and later appear in the [[Shadow Temple]], [[Spirit Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Spirit Temple]] and [[Ganon's Castle]].

Wallmasters appear in dark places, such as [[Beneath the Well]], and act just as they do in ''Ocarina of Time''.

Wallmasters appear in ''Oracle of Seasons'' and ''Oracle of Ages'', falling from the ceiling and trying to grab Link. If they grab Link, they will take him back to the entrance of the dungeon. In ''Oracle of Ages'', Wallmasters appear in [[Spirit's Grave]], where as in ''Oracle of Seasons'', they appear in the [[Sword & Shield Maze]] and [[Hero's Cave]].

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', Wallmasters have very similar attributes as in prior ''Zelda'' titles. They first appear in the [[Fortress of Winds]] and Link can see where they will drop down by looking at their shadow. If they grab Link, he will be transported back to the beginning of the dungeon. If defeated, they will disappear permanently.

Wallmasters behave in a similar manner to that of ''A Link to the Past'' in that they come down from the ceiling, grab Link and take him back to the beginning of the dungeon. In this game, Wallmasters are used to activate switches on an unreachable platform above Link, allowing Link to progress. Wallmasters in this game can be found in [[Skull Woods (A Link Between Worlds Dungeon)|Skull Woods]] and [[Lorule Castle]].

Wallmasters only appear in certain [[Drablands Challenge]]s. They act as focal points and obstacles in the eponymous [[Evade the Wallmaster!]] challenge, where they will attempt to slam down onto the Links, wiping out all Hearts with a successful strike. Unlike the gnarled or otherwise unsightly designs from previous games, these Wallmasters have a technological motif. Specifically, they uncannily resemble [[Sheikah]] technology introduced in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''; they even have a Sheikah eye on their dorsal side. In spite of all this, no Sheikah are known to appear in ''Tri Force Heroes'', potentially explaining the Wallmasters' relegation to the enigmatic Drablands Challenges.
