'''Lizalfos''' are recurring enemies in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. They are usually experts at combat and are even sometimes armoured.

 

==''The Adventure of Link''==

Lizalfos in ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]'' are large armor-clad hulks whose behavior is nearly identical to [[Iron Knuckle]]s, charging at [[Link (The Legend of Zelda)#The Adventure of Link|Link]] and attacking with spears and maces. Orange and [[Red Lizalfos]] are primarily encountered in the forests of [[Eastern Hyrule (The Adventure of Link)|Eastern Hyrule]] around [[Kasuto]] and the [[Hidden Town of Kasuto]], though Link first encounters the beasts on [[Maze Island (The Adventure of Link)|Maze Island]] in the cave where the [[Kidnapped Child]] is being held. The more dangerous [[Blue Lizalfos|blue variety]] are exclusive to the [[Valley of Death]], and attack by hurling maces at Link that can only be repelled with an active [[Reflect Spell]]. On the path south from [[Town of Nabooru|Nabooru]], Link also comes under attack from rock-throwing Red Lizalfos that sit high atop walls and are unreachable, even with the [[Jump Spell]] equipped. They can be destroyed, but only by casting [[Spell Spell|Spell]] or [[Thunder Spell|Thunder]]. Orange, Red, and Blue Lizalfos yield 150, 100, and 200 experience, respectively. Rock-throwing Lizalfos yield 50 experience.

These are the most dangerous and powerful versions of the Lizalfos in the regular mode of the game. They are much more aggressive than any other versions, and have a far faster attacking speed with bows. They have significantly more health than weaker variants, and have triple the health of the Black Lizalfos alone. Upon death, they almost always drop rare gemstones such as [[Sapphire]] or [[Topaz]], as well as an assortment of Lizalfos parts (one tail, two talons, and a horn).

This variant of Lizalfos only appears at night, and behaves very similarly to creatures such as [[Stalchild]]ren from previous games. They only have 1 HP, but when struck, they will not take any damage. Instead, their heads will drop to the ground. Link must attack their heads to kill them. Even after falling, the Stalizalfos’ skeleton will eerily reassemble itself, and will continue to attack Link, often exchanging weapons with the rest of its group. In order to fully rid himself of the Stalizalfos, all members of one group must have their heads destroyed. They almost always appear in groups of two or three.

Lizalfos in ''[[Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity|Age of Calamity]]'' are some of the weakest enemies, first encountered in [[The Battle of Hyrule Field]] scenario. They will occasionally drop a [[Lizalfos Horn]] or [[Lizalfos Talon]] when defeated. After each Lizalfos is defeated, the player will receive a [[Lizalfos Trophy]], which can be used to complete [[Age of Calamity Quests|quests]] or upgrade weapons of the various warriors.

Larger Lizalfos will occasionally appear as the leader of an outpost. They usually deal more damage, have more health, and once defeated, allow the warrior to capture the outpost. Stronger variants and elemental variants of Lizalfos are very common, with their being [[Blue Lizalfos]], [[Black Lizalfos]], [[Silver Lizalfos]], [[Electric Lizalfos]], [[Fire-Breath Lizalfos]], [[Ice-Breath Lizalfos]], and [[Stalizalfos]]. The stronger variants appear in later scenarios, with the elemental variants appearing in levels corresponding to their elements.

Lizalfos in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom|Tears of the Kingdom]]'' return from the previous game with much of their similar qualities, with the marked difference now being that each Lizalfos variant now drops both their own distinct horn and tail upon defeat. Like ''Breath of the Wild'', using a bow is among one of the most reliable strategies to defeat the standard green and blue variants, as one or two shots to their heads will take them out. There are many different types of Lizalfos in ''Tears of the Kingdom'', such as the standard Green Lizalfos, or [[Fire-Breath Lizalfos]]; with 8 distinct types, they remain the enemies in the game with the most variations. If meat is dropped on the ground in front of them, they will pick it up and eat it, restoring 100 percent of their health. They retain their speed and ability to swim from the previous game, and all variants have a new attack where they will swing their horns from side to side 4 times or until Link is injured. All Lizalfos variants can be encountered wielding either fused or unfused Lizal Boomerangs, with the fused variant usually fused with crude materials such as rocks and mushrooms. If Link wears the [[Lizalfos Mask]] or [[Majora's Mask#Breath of the Wild|Majora's Mask]] in front of a Lizalfos, the Lizalfos will not attack him, but instead investigate him, though if Link hits the Lizalfos while wearing the masks, the Lizalfos will attack. (If it's a pack of Lizalfos, if Link hits one member of the pack, the pack of Lizalfos will start attacking.)

When slain, basic Lizalfos will drop [[Lizalfos Horn]]s, [[Lizalfos Talon]]s and [[Lizalfos Tail]]s.

A slightly stronger variant of the Green Lizalfos. Often seen wielding reinforced [[Strengthened Lizal Bow]]s and [[Reinforced Lizal Shield]]s. Upon death, they drop the katana-like [[Blue Lizalfos Horn]] and occasionally [[Blue Lizalfos Tail]]s.

Even more powerful than the Blue variant, these Lizalfos are usually the leader of their pack. They attack quicker, and carry stronger weapons, including the [[Steel Lizal Bow]] and [[Steel Lizal Shield]]. Upon death, they drop the serrated-edge [[Black Lizalfos Horn]] and occasionally [[Black Lizalfos Tail]]s.

This variant of Lizalfos appears primarily in hot regions of the game, such as on [[Death Mountain (Tears of the Kingdom)|Death Mountain]], [[Gerudo Canyon]] during the daytime, and areas of the Depths that are corelated to those areas on the surface. They act in a very similar way to regular Lizalfos, but are also able to breathe fire. Link can avoid taking damage here by holding out his shield, or, if he has all three pieces of the Flamebreaker Outfit equipped and enhanced at least twice, the fire will deal no damage at all. Upon death, the Fire-Breath Lizalfos will drop a [[Fire-Breath Lizalfos Horn]], which can be used to fuse together a fire-damage weapon, and occasionally but rarely drop [[Fire-Breath Lizalfos Tail]]s. They can be instantly killed with weapons fused with an ice-powered horn, or arrows fused with [[Ice Fruit]], [[White Chuchu Jelly]], [[Ice Keese Wing]]s, [[Ice Keese Eyeball]]s or other cold materials.

===Ice-Breath Lizalfos===

This variant of Lizalfos is often found in the coldest regions of the game, such as [[Mount Lanayru]], the [[Hebra Mountains]], [[Gerudo Highlands]], [[Gerudo Canyon]] during the nighttime, and areas of the Depths that are corelated to those areas on the surface. these Lizalfos have the unique ability to spit out many icy balls at will. If these balls come into contact with Link, they will freeze him, and leave him vulnerable to other attacks. Link can avoid taking damage if he has either Zant's Helmet equipped or the full Snowquill Set equipped and upgraded at least twice, in which he will not be frozen. Upon death, they will drop an [[Ice-Breath Lizalfos Horn]], which can be used to fuse together an ice-damage weapon, and occasionally but rarely drop [[Ice-Breath Lizalfos Tail]]s. They can be instantly killed with weapons fused with an fire-powered horn, or arrows fused with [[Fire Fruit]], [[Red Chuchu Jelly]], [[Fire Keese Wing]]s, [[Fire Keese Eyeball]]s or other fiery materials.

Electric Lizalfos are typically found in the [[Gerudo Desert (Tears of the Kingdom)|Gerudo Desert]], in the Faron-Regional jungles and along the coast of the Faron Sea, where they sometimes lie in wait beneath the sand before jumping out to ambush Link. They can create a dome of electricity at will, which can force Link to drop his metal equipment, unless he is wearing either the Lightning Helm or the full Rubber Set after it has been upgraded at least twice, in which case he will take no damage. Upon death, they will drop [[Electric Lizalfos Horn]]s, which can be used to fuse together an electric-damage weapon, and occasionally but rarely drop [[Electric Lizalfos Tail]]s.
