An '''Iron Mask''' is an enemy that somewhat resembles a [[Helmasaur]]. It wears a mask of iron to protect its vulnerable body, and can easily overtake a would-be hero if encountered in large numbers. Like the Helmasaur, its backside is unprotected by its mask, so a weapon like a [[sword]] hitting its backside will result in quick death.

The Iron Mask is a relatively easy enemy for Link to defeat. [[Link]] can either attack it from its back, or rip its mask off with the [[Hookshot]], the [[Magnetic Glove]]s, or the [[Switch Hook]].

An Iron Mask is an enemy that somewhat resembles a Helmasaur. It wears a mask of iron to protect its vulnerable body, and can easily overtake a would-be hero if encountered in large numbers. Like the Helmasaur, its backside is unprotected by its mask, so a weapon like a sword hitting its backside will result in quick death.

Strategy

The Iron Mask is a relatively easy enemy for Link to defeat. Link can either attack it from its back, or rip its mask off with the Switch Hook. This latter method will often result in some damage, however, due to Link switching positions with the mask. Without its mask, Link can attack the Iron Mask from any direction.
