Zazak
Zazaks are enemies in A Link to the Past and A Link Between Worlds.
Characteristics and Weaknesses
Zazaks have two big fangs, white mohawk-like hair, and solid armor that allows them to withstand a few blows from the Master Sword. In A Link to the Past, they appear in certain Dark World dungeons, most prominently in Thieves' Town, but also in Ganon's Tower. They are intelligent and will often charge at Link to attack. Red Zazaks are able to shoot fireballs that cannot be stopped with Link's Shield; only the Mirror Shield he obtains later in the game can block these attacks. The red variety can also withstand twice as much damage. They usually appear side by side, and often in groups with Stalfos.
In A Link Between Worlds, they do not shoot fireballs at Link, but will damage him if they come into contact. If the Thief Girl is with Link while in the Thieves' Hideout, Zazaks will attempt to grab her. If they succeed, it causes the hero and the Thief Girl to immediately end up back at her cell.
Other Appearances
Ancient Stone Tablets
In Ancient Stone Tablets, Zazaks appear in Level 8, which takes place in the tunnel of Death Mountain. This dungeon is in the Light World, showing that they are not limited only to the Dark World.
