Freezard

Freezards, also known as Freezzards, are recurring enemies in the Legend of Zelda series. They are enemies consisting of what appears to be pure ice that blow cold winds at Link in order to freeze him. They typically appear in cold locations filled with snow and ice; however, they have been known to appear elsewhere.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Freezards are slow, but mobile. They periodically blow out an ice gust of wind, and if Link comes into contact with it, he will be temporarily encased in a block of Ice. Freezards can be defeated by either a Fire Arrow, Hookshot, or a blow from Link's sword. The Megaton Hammer also proves effective.

Freezards are found in the Ice Cavern and Inside Ganon's Castle.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Freezards are identical to their Ocarina of Time counterparts. They can be found in Snowhead Temple.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Freezards can be found in the Snowpeak Ruins and the Cave of Ordeals. They are large, stationary beasts made of ice that resemble the limbless head and torso of lizards or dragons, with multiple red eyes. Although they cannot move, they are able to turn their heads and attack Link by breathing streams of freezing wind. Early in the dungeon, they serve as obstacles, more than as enemies.

Because they cannot be destroyed by any weapon before Link obtains the Ball and Chain, Freezards can only be destroyed by a stationary cannon early in the dungeon. The cannons are positioned around the courtyards of the Snowpeak Ruins. Finding cannon balls, loading them, and firing them at Freezards serves as the main obstacle in the Snowpeak Ruins before the Ball and Chain is acquired. That being said, there are still a few Freezards that need to be blasted with a cannon even afterward, as they are out of the reach of the Ball and Chain. When destroyed, Freezards shatter into four to six Mini Freezards that resemble the Freezards from past games.

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
Freezards are Octoroks encased in ice. They can be defeated by throwing the boomerang through fire and into them, and then slashing at them until they perish. Slashing at a Freezard will cause it to slide away from Link at high speeds, bouncing off walls and other Freezards until they hit Link. Freezards can also be defeated by shooting them with Light Arrows. They resemble Mini Freezards from Twilight Princess.
