{{Term/Store|Wizzrobe|Wizzrobes|Series, TLoZ, ALttP, LA, LADX, MM, MM3D, OoS, OoA, FS, TWW, TWWHD, FSA, TMC, PH|plural}} are recurring enemies in {{TLoZ|Series}}.<ref name= "Encyclopedia"/>{{Note|{{Plural|Series|Wizzrobe}} are referred to as '''Wizrobes''' in {{Guide|MM|Versus Books}}.<ref>{{Cite Book|type= Guide |quote= |game= MM |publisher= Versus Books |page= 50}}</ref> However, as this contradicts the name given in {{E}}, this is not considered [[Guidelines:Canon|Canon]].}} They are undead wizards that cast beams of magical energy,<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= When a wizard returns, they often become Wizzrobes. Rarely, like in the case of the Blue Stalfos, you will see a Stalfos using magic. |book= E |publisher= |page= 103}}</ref> and are so named because of the cloaks they often wear. While the appearance of Wizzrobes has differed in some games, in all their appearances, Wizzrobes possess the ability to vanish and teleport elsewhere, enabling them to engage [[Link]] through ambushes and surprise attacks. [[Wizzrobe (Boss)|Wizzrobe]]s have also appeared as bosses or mini-bosses in certain games.

{{TLoZManual|Wizzrobe|The Master of Movement. He appears here and there letting out magic spells that Link's little shield can't hold back. He's pretty strong. Watch out!}}

Wizzrobes come in two colors, both with drastically different behaviors. Orange Wizzrobes teleport throughout the room, while shooting magical bolts at Link, before disappearing again. Blue Wizzrobes are a much stronger variant that take more hits to defeat, and attack by moving across the area while casting spells. They will occasionally vanish to swiftly change direction to another area. These Wizzrobes are far more dangerous than the weaker orange variety, especially in cramped rooms where Link can quickly become surrounded by them. Both of their magic can be blocked with the [[Magical Shield]]. They can be dispatched with the [[Sword]], however due to their nature of teleporting across the area, it is easier to attack them from a distance, such as with the [[Boomerang]], the [[Bow]], or by shooting [[Sword Beam]]s at them. When defeated, red Wizzrobes may drop either a [[Heart]], one [[Rupee]], four [[Bomb]]s or a [[Clock]], while blue Wizzrobes may drop either a Heart, one Rupee or a [[Fairy]].{{Note|If Link defeats 10 enemies without getting hit or teleporting with the Recorder, then the 10th enemy defeated will drop five Rupees. However, if the 10th enemy is defeated with a Bomb, then it will drop four Bombs. If Link defeats 16 enemies without getting hit or teleporting, then the 16th enemy will drop a Fairy. After the 16th enemy, Link must get hit and reset the counter to zero in order to achieve this effect again. Defeating Armoses, Like Likes, Keeses, or Gels will not be counted.<ref>{{Cite web|quote=|author=n.a.|published=n.d.|retrieved=August 17, 2017|url=http://redcandle.us/The_Legend_of_Zelda#Forced_drops|title=Forced Drops|site=redcandle.us}}</ref>}}

{{ALttPManual|Wizzrobe|This wizard appears and disappears using magic. You can only damage him only while he is visible. The Wizzrobe attacks using magical beams of energy.}}

Wizzrobes have the same appearance as before, though in Ganon's Tower, they have skull-like faces and wear blue robes instead of green. They behave the same as the previous Wizzrobes, but are much faster at teleporting and casting spells.

In {{LA}}, Wizzrobes appear similarly to their green {{ALttP|-}} incarnation, as they stay in one spot as they vanish and reappear. When one emerges, it first appears as a hat on the floor, indicating where the Wizzrobe will appear. It then rises and fires an attack at Link's general direction before vanishing again. Unlike previous Wizzrobes, they cannot be harmed with the Sword, which will instead only repel them back. They can only be attacked by firing an [[Arrow]] at them with the Bow, which will defeat them in four hits, or by planting a [[Bomb]] near them, which will defeat them in one hit. Wizzrobes can also be stunned with the [[Hookshot]] or [[Boomerang]], making it easier to defeat them with a Bomb. They appear in the {{Term|LANS|Face Shrine|link}}.

In {{OoS}}, Wizzrobes come in three different color varieties, and have the same apperance as in past games. The green variety behaves the same as the Wizzrobes of {{LA|-}}, as they stay in one place and attack Link with their spells from that spot. The red variety has more health, and teleports around the room, attacking in the same way. The blue Wizzrobe behaves more like the blue Wizzrobes of {{TLoZ|-}}, as they move around the room while casting spells. It is also faster at casting than the other two. Like the Wizzrobes of {{TLoZ|-}}, the blue variety is able to make itself invulnerable to attack when changing direction. While it does this, it also has the added advantage of moving through objects, but cannot harm Link.

In {{OoA}}, Wizzrobes come in three different color varieties, and have the same apperance as in past games. The green variety behaves the same as the Wizzrobes of {{LA|-}}, as they stay in one place and attack Link with their spells from that spot. The red variety has more health, and teleports around the room, attacking in the same way. The blue Wizzrobe behaves more like the blue Wizzrobes of {{TLoZ|-}}, as they move around the room while casting spells. It is also faster at casting than the other two. Like the Wizzrobes of {{TLoZ|-}}, the blue variety is able to make itself invulnerable to attack when changing direction. While it does this, it also has the added advantage of moving through objects, but cannot harm Link.

{{FS|-}} has three varieties of Wizzrobes, and introduces the red Fire Wizzrobe, and the blue Ice Wizzrobe. While the regular, green variety attacks normally, the Fire and Ice Wizzrobes wield fire and ice magic, respectively. They appear in [[Vaati's Palace]].

Wizzrobes return to their original appearance as hooded humanoids.

{{Tingle|Wizzrobe|A '''Wizzrobe!'''<br><br>Get up close and slash it with the sword!}}

In {{TWW}}, Wizzrobes take on a significantly different look, characterized by their {{Wp|toucan}}-like faces and wing-esque sleeves. They usually wear dark cloaks with a hood and carry a wand that they use to cast their spells. Like previous Wizzrobes, they disappear and reappear using magic. When they teleport, a sound is heard to indicate their position. They come in two common, colored varieties and use different strategies. Wizzrobes with red hoods shoot fireballs, while Wizzrobes with yellow hoods can both shoot fireballs and summon other enemies.<ref>{{Cite|Wizzrobe - Habitat: Tower of the Gods - Magic: Fire, summons - These mighty mages are adept at wielding flame and summoning other creatures to their aid.

A [[Wizzrobe (Boss)|Wizzrobe]] mini-boss also appears in the [[Wind Temple]], wearing a distinctive orange cloak and crown.

Wizzrobes are able to steal [[Force Gem]]s from the [[Links]] in {{FSA}}. They closely resemble the Wizzrobes from {{ALttP|-}}.

{{Figurine|TMC|Wizzrobe| Appears in the Palace of Winds & Dark Hyrule Castle. They fire magic bolts from afar. Hit them when they appear so they don't cast another spell! |[[File:TMC Wizzrobe Figurine Sprite.png]]}}

Wizzrobes in {{TMC}} appear the same as they do in {{FS|-}}, with three varieties - including the regular, green variety, and the Fire and Ice variety. They appear in the [[Palace of Winds (The Minish Cap)|Palace of Winds]] and [[Dark Hyrule Castle]]. The Ice Wizzrobes are weak to fire-based attacks, and as such can be instantly defeated using fire from the [[Lantern]].

Wizzrobes in {{PH}} retain their bird-like appearance, but are slightly smaller, wear cloth masks, and carry large scythes instead of wands. In spite of the aesthetic similarities, they take on a completely different role in the game. They appear only in the [[Temple of the Ocean King]] and do not use their traditional magic. Instead, they are invisible until right before they attack. They will sneak up to steal 15 seconds from the {{PH|Item}} with a swipe of their scythes. They appear as [[skull]]s on the map on the top screen, which is the only way to track them without coming in range of their attacks. Defeating one earns Link 30 more seconds.

The Wizzrobes in the {{TLoZ|Valiant Comics}} highly resemble their original artwork  from {{TLoZ|-}}. Although a Wizzrobe makes a  brief appearance in "[[He Also Serves]],"<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= When do we spring the trap, Wizzrobe?|book= The Legend of  Zelda|publisher= Valiant Comics|page= 9}}</ref> they play a more important role in "[[To the First Power]]" and, to an extent, in "[[The Legend of Zelda (Valiant Comics)/Issue 4#Queen of Hearts|Queen of Hearts]]."

In "To the First Power," a Wizzrobe commands several of Ganon's minions to tie Link up after [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] heads inside the [[Level-1 (The Legend of Zelda)|Eagle Labyrinth]] to train against Ganon's minions. However, the Wizzrobe reveals to Link that he filled the Eagle Labyrinth with the most dangerous of enemies so that Zelda may not stand a chance up against them.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Grab him! Without his weapons, he's helpless! You thought Eagle Labyrinth was a safe place for Zelda to hone her battle skills! Fool! I filled it with the most lethal enemies in Ganon's army! She won't stand a chance! Let my teleportation spell carry us to the final room of the labyrinth!|book= The Legend of Zelda|publisher= Valiant Comics|page= 2}}</ref> Although Link confronts the Wizzrobe and tells him that capturing Zelda will do no good since he is the one that [[Ganon]] wants, the Wizzrobe confesses that he is not interested in following Ganon's orders anymore.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Why go to all this trouble to get Zelda, Wizzrobe? I'm the one Ganon wants!|book= The Legend of Zelda|publisher= Valiant Comics|page= 2}}</ref><ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Ganon's desires don't interest me! I'm finished following that loser!|book= The Legend of Zelda|publisher= Valiant Comics|page= 2}}</ref> He elaborates that he has gathered many other minions who feel the same way, and as soon as he destroys Link and Zelda, all of Ganon's  minions will join his renegade army, leaving Ganon to fail.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= I've  gathered many of Ganon's minions who feel the same! Ganon has never been able to stop you OR Zelda! But, if I can destroy you both, Ganon's minions will join my renegade army...and Ganon himself will fall!|book= The Legend of Zelda|publisher= Valiant Comics|page= 2}}</ref>  

Eventually, Zelda makes her way to where the Wizzrobe and Link are, delighting the foe since he will now be able to defeat her himself.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= I don't know how you got past my renegade army, princess! But I'm delighted that I get to destroy you myself!|book= The Legend of Zelda|publisher= Valiant Comics|page= 9}}</ref> The Wizzrobe shoots a magic beam at her, which Zelda dodges and quickly fires an Arrow from her Bow towards it, making him fall into a fire pit that sends the Wizzrobe back to Ganon.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Zelda: And you picked on the WRONG princess, Wizzrobe!|book= The Legend of Zelda|publisher= Valiant Comics|page= 10}}</ref><ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Wizzrobe: Nooo! This will send be back to Ganon!|book= The Legend of Zelda|publisher= Valiant Comics|page= 10}}</ref> The story ends with the Wizzrobe kneeling in front of Ganon while the Prince of Darkness praises him since he could make use of a "deceitful and treacherous" man like him.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= So...you plotted behind my back! You, Wizzrobe, are deceitful and treacherous! [...] Good! I can USE a man like you.|book= The Legend of Zelda|publisher= Valiant Comics|page= 10}}</ref>

The Wizzrobe in "Queen of Hearts" is in charge of securing the [[Magic Container]] that holds all of [[Queen Seline]]'s magical  powers.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= The magic container is the key--! If we can break it open, my powers will return!|book= The Legend of Zelda|publisher= Valiant Comics|page= 8}}</ref> When Link and Seline make their way to where the magic container is, they are confronted by a Wizzrobe and a horde of Ganon's other minions.  Link is then heavily injured and faints, and before the Wizzrobe can finish him off, Zelda appears and shoots an Arrow at the Magic Container,<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Get away from my friends, you creep!|book= The Legend of Zelda|publisher= Valiant Comics|page= 9}}</ref> restoring Seline's powers and allowing her to easily defeat the Wizzrobe and the rest of the enemies.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Ah! My powers have returned! Now then, little wizard....it's time for you to learn about REAL magic.|book= The Legend of Zelda|publisher= Valiant Comics|page= 9}}</ref>

A Wizzrobe disguised as a [[Fortune Teller]] appears in {{TCT}}. Known as [[Madame Grusha]], she resides in the [[Town of Ruto]]. If Zelda visits Madame Grusha's hut, she will guess that Zelda has traveled far and that she is searching for three things. The Fortune Teller goes on to explain that she knows how to help the princess, but she cannot speak of it in their current location and asks that Zelda follow her into her inner sanctum.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Grusha can see far. You are seeking three things. I can help you, but I can't speak of it here. Come into my inner sanctum.|book= The Crystal Trap|publisher= Archway|page= 116}}</ref> Following Madame Grusha will lead to Zelda's death, while deciding to not follow her will result in a fight between Zelda and the Wizzrobe, along with some Moblins. However, the princess manages to defeat both enemies and come out of the hut alive.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=She grabs a mirror off the wall and holds it up as a shield just as the wizzrobe lowers his staff. There's a flash of red light. The spell hits the mirror--and bounces back across the room. The wizzrobe and the moblin freeze where they stand. The spell has turned them to stone!|book= The Crystal Trap|publisher= Archway|page= 27}}</ref>

A Wizzrobe appears in Chapter 9 of the {{ALttP|Ishinomori}}. After Link exits the [[Swamp Palace (A Link to the Past)|Swamp Palace]], he hears Princess Zelda contact him telepathically from beyond the [[Misery Mire (A Link to the Past)|wasteland]].<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=I...am...nearby... Hurry!|book= A Link to the Past|publisher=Nintendo Power|page= 9}}</ref><ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Can't you hear her? Zelda is calling from beyond the wasteland!|book= A Link to the Past|publisher= Nintendo Power|page= 9}}</ref>  [[Epheremelda]], who cannot hear Zelda's calling, advises Link against going to the wasteland as it is too dangerous.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Now you're hearing things! Anyway, the wasteland is way too harsh! Once you get in there, you can't escape!|book= A Link to the Past|publisher= Nintendo Power|page= 9}}</ref> Link disregards her suggestion,<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= If this wasteland is as dangerous as you say it is, I've got to get Zelda out of there right away!|book= A Link to the Past|publisher= Nintendo Power|page= 10}}</ref> heading into the wasteland where he stumbles into an oasis from where  Zelda is calling his name. The young hero ventures in and finds her.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= It's some kind of oasis! This must be where Zelda is being held! Zelda! I'm  on my way! [...] Can it be? Zelda! I finally found you!|book= A Link to the Past|publisher= Nintendo Power|page= 11}}</ref> As he remembers the [[Maiden]]'s words of Zelda being inside a [[Turtle Rock (A Link to the Past)|rock shaped like a turtle]],<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= But wait... The girl in the crystal said Zelda was in a rock shaped like a turtle...|book= A Link to the Past|publisher= Nintendo Power|page= 12}}</ref> the princess turns out to be an illusion made by a Wizzrobe, who promptly captures Link and conjures [[Vitreous]] from the swamp to devour him.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= You walked right into my trap, tasty morsel! This is Misery Mire, world famous for its fine aroma of Swamp Gas. You're just in time for dinner with Sir Vitreous, the master of this place...
