'''Wizzrobes''' are recurring enemies in {{LZS|Series}}.

==Characteristics==
 
[[File:WizzrobeTLOZ.png|left|110px]]
 
Wizzrobes first appeared in {{TLoZ}}, shooting magic bolts at [[Link]].<ref>{{Cite|Appears in the Palace of Winds and Dark Hyrule Castle. They fire magic bolts from afar. Hit them when they appear so they don't cast another spell!|Wizzrobe figurine|TMC}}</ref> Their physical aspects from ''The Legend of Zelda'' also appeared in {{LA}}, {{ALttP}}, {{FSA}}, and {{TMC}}. However, in later titles, the diversity and appearance of Wizzrobes has change drastically.
 
   
  +
'''''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD''''' is a [[Wii U]] remake of the [[Nintendo GameCube]] and [[Wii]] game, {{TP}}. It was officially announced via a Nintendo Direct webcast on November 12, 2015 and will be released on March 4, 2016.<ref name="Nintendo Direct November 2015">{{Cite web|published=November 12, 2015|retrieved=November 12, 2015|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VF3AnGHbG6s|title=Nintendo Direct 11.12.2015|site=Youtube|type=}}</ref> It is the second remaster of a ''Zelda'' title on the Wii U following {{TWWHD}}. This remake uses the world orientation of the GameCube version, which was reversed on the Wii version. A bundle set containing the [[Wolf Link]] [[amiibo]] will also be released.
Another special ability of Wizzrobes is disappearing and teleporting, enabling them to engage Link through ambushes and surprise attacks. This makes attacking them with physical or ranged attacks more difficult. Starting with {{TWW}}, Wizzrobes make alarm sounds when they teleport and upon reappearing. Sometimes, a flurry of white sparkles quickly appears, showing their position.
 
   
  +
The game features graphical upgrades from the original version and runs at a higher resolution. It also features some gameplay changes, which Nintendo will announce in the future.
==Varieties==
 
===Color Differences===
 
[[File:Wizzrobe-green FS.png|right|55px]]
 
[[File:Wizzrobe-red FS.png|right|55px]]
 
[[File:Wizzrobe-blue FS.png|right|55px]]
 
Beginning with ''The Legend of Zelda'', Wizzrobes always have been distinguished in strength and behavior by color, a scheme that changes between subsequent titles. ''The Legend of Zelda'' incorporates Wizzrobes of two colors. The stronger of the two maintains the ability to charge and shoot a flurry of beam attacks at Link at once.
 
   
  +
==Changes and Additions==
Seen most exclusively in the {{OoX}}, the green variety of Wizzrobe stay in one place, disappearing and reappearing to attack Link with their beam attack. The red variety has more health, and instead of staying in one spot, teleports all around the room, attacking in the same way. The blue Wizzrobe is the only variety that moves like a normal enemy, but it has the advantage of being able to make itself invulnerable to attack when changing direction. While it does this, it can move through objects, but cannot harm Link. When vulnerable, the blue Wizzrobe starts attacking in a similar way to its other forms. It is faster in its attacks than the other two, and it also has the advantage of being able to move while attacking. The same coloration is seen in {{FS}} and ''The Minish Cap''. However, the red version shoots fireballs,<ref>{{Cite|Appears in the Palace of Winds & Dark Hyrule Castle. They wield fire magic. Hit them when they appear so they don't cast another spell!|Fire Wizzrobe figurine|TMC}}</ref> the blue version shoots ice blasts,<ref>{{Cite|Appears in the Palace of Winds and Dark Hyrule Castle. They wield ice magic. Hit them when they appear so they don't cast another spell!|Ice Wizzrobe figurine|TMC}}</ref> and unique to ''Four Swords Adventures'', they suck [[Force Gem]]s. In the Japanese versions, the red Wizzrobes are called Firerobes, and the blue ones are called Icerobes.
 
  +
===Graphics===
  +
''Twilight Princess HD'' features up-rendered and touched up graphics from the original game, giving the game a cleaner and higher-definition look. As opposed to the 480 resolution of the original version, ''Twilight Princess HD'' uses the 1080p resolution that is standard on Wii U. This provides for six times the number of pixels, resulting in additional clarity, especially for faraway objects and precise aiming. Several textures in the game are touched up with added details, with notable examples including Link's hair, [[Zant]]'s armor, and several background textures. These textures look less "muddy" and blurred than in the original. The game also sports brighter lighting.<ref>{{Cite web|published=November 12, 2015|retrieved=November 12, 2015|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaW_0Z_Y95A|title=Zelda Twilight Princess HD WiiU VS Gamecube/Wii Version Graphics Comparison|site=Youtube|type=}}</ref>
   
  +
''Twilight Princess HD'' is not a complete graphical remake, with much of its character models and geometry (for instance, the cliff of [[Hyrule Field]] shown in the opening sequence) retaining its somewhat primitive design.

===Physical Differences===
+
===amiibo Support===
  +
''Twilight Princess HD'' will be compatible with the Wolf Link amiibo, along with the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (Series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series of ''Zelda'' amiibo, including Link's, Zelda's, Ganondorf's, Sheik's and Toon Link's amiibos. The Wolf Link amiibo will be able to read and save data from ''Twilight Princess HD'', and transfer it over to [[Zelda Wii U|''The Legend of Zelda'' for the Wii U]].<ref name="Nintendo Direct November 2015"/> It is currently unknown what kind of features these amiibo figures will have in the two games.
[[File:MM Wizrobe(Intro).png|105px|left]]
 
====''Majora's Mask''====
 
Though Wizzrobes also appear in {{MM}}, misspelled "Wizrobe,"<ref>{{Cite|It's a {{Typo|Wizrobe|Wizzrobe}}. You'll get your chance right when it starts to attack. Be on the lookout for it!|Tatl|MM}}</ref> they are significantly different in appearance from previous Wizzrobes. Link first encounters one as a mini-boss within the [[Snowhead Temple]]. It teleports to different pads across the room, so Link must attack it while it is dancing but before it attacks. After enough damage is dealt, it creates illusionary copies of itself. To defeat it, Link must guess which is the real Wizzrobe and attack before they attack and then teleport away. Even though, only the real Wizzrobe appears on the map. [[Tatl]] can also target the real one if close enough.
 
   
  +
==Limited Editions==
Two varieties of Wizzrobe appear in the game. One that shoots fire and another that shoots ice.
 
  +
In North America, Europe and Japan, a limited edition bundle box set will be released, which will come packaged with the Wolf Link amiibo for use in the game. A special pre-order edition will also include a CD of the game's original soundtrack.<ref name="Nintendo Direct November 2015"/> In Europe, the soundtrack is included in the bundle itself.
 
In {{MM3D}}, their names are correctly spelled ''Wizzrobe''.

====''The Wind Waker''====
 
[[File:White Wizzrobe TWW.png|right|150px]]
 
In ''The Wind Waker'', Wizzrobes are characterized by their {{wp|toucan}}-like heads. They usually wear dark cloaks with a hood. Wizzrobes with red hoods shoot fireballs, while Wizzrobes with orange hoods have the ability of summoning 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. The only way to defeat them is to try to predict their movements and attack them during the brief moments that they assume physical form.|Wizzrobe figurine|TWW}}</ref> There is also a group of three Wizzrobes that wear white cloaks. They can be found on top of the three [[lookout platform]]s near [[Seven-Star Isles]].<ref>{{Cite book|quote= Sail to Seven-Star Isles and go to the trio of Sea Platforms and climb the middle Sea Platforms ladder. Defeat the first white Wizzrobe that attacks you to reveal a chest there. Defeat the next white Wizzrobe to reveal a chest on the north Sea Platform. Defeat the final two white Wizzrobes to reveal a chest on the South Sea Platform.|book= The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Official Game Guide|publisher= Prima Games|page= 150}}</ref> A more powerful version who wears a red cloak and an {{wp|Inca civilization|Incan}}-like crown can be found in the [[Wind Temple]] as the mini-boss.<ref>{{Cite book|quote= B1, room 3 of the Wind Temple is an arena in which you must fight a special mini-boss Wizzrobe.|book= The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Official Game Guide|publisher= Prima Games|page= 101}}</ref> It has the power of summoning other Wizzrobes,<ref>{{Cite|Wizzrobe (Boss) - Habitat: Wind Temple - Magic: Summons - These high-level mages use the magic of summoning to aid them in battle. They are the only Wizzrobes that can summon other Wizzrobes, which makes them formidable.|Wizzrobe (Boss) figurine|TWW}}</ref> as well as enemies such as [[Darknut]]s and [[Moblin]]s. Wizzrobes, including the mini-boss, can be defeated in one hit if they are frozen with an [[Ice Arrow]] and then tossed at a wall or crushed with the [[Skull Hammer]].
 
 
==== ''Phantom Hourglass''====
 
[[File:Wizzrobe PH.png|Wizzrobe in Phantom Hourglass|left|60px]]
 
Wizzrobes in {{PH}} retain their bird appearance, but are slightly smaller 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 {{it|Phantom Hourglass}} 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.

==Wizard==
 
[[File:Wizzrobe AoL.png|right|50px]]
 
The '''Wizard''' is an enemy in {{TAoL}} that is very similar in behavior to a Wizzrobe.<ref>{{Cite book|quote=Connected to a bridge by the mainland, the island is the home of the fourth Palace wherein live a host of Wizards and other beings.|book= Nintendo Power Volume 4|publisher= Nintendo Power|page= 32}}</ref> Like Wizzrobes, they appear and disappear while firing magic at Link. Unlike Wizzrobes, they are impervious to Link's [[Sword]] and can only be defeated by reflecting their magic back at them using the [[Magic of The Adventure of Link#Reflect|Reflect]] magic.<ref>{{Cite book|quote= With the magic of Reflect Link's shield now repels the spells cast by Wizards and shoots them back.|book= Nintendo Power Volume 4|publisher=Nintendo Power|page= 32}}</ref> Also unlike Wizzrobes, they only appear in Palaces and are therefore likely placed by the old [[King of Hyrule (The Adventure of Link)|King of Hyrule]] as guardians rather than being followers of [[Ganon]]. Their leader is [[Carock]].
 
{{clear}}
 
 
==Weaknesses==
 
For the most part, the original Wizzrobe form is weak to conventional weaponry such as the Sword, [[Arrow]]s, and [[Bomb]]s. In ''Link's Awakening'', they are invulnerable to Swords. The most important aspect of battling Wizzrobes is catching them before they teleport and disappear. Their incarnations seen in ''The Wind Waker'' are sometimes too far out of reach for the typical Sword strikes, so use of the [[Fire Arrow]] or any other Arrow proves being more successful. Wizzrobes in ''The Minish Cap'' can be instantly defeated by using the [[Lantern]] on them.{{verify|TMC}}
 
 
==Noc-Canon Appearances==
 
{{noncanon|Start}}
 
===''The Legend of Zelda'' Comic===
 
[[File:Wizzrobe VC.png|thumb|right|Wizzrobe in the comics]]
 
The Wizzrobes in [[The Legend of Zelda (Comic)|''The Legend of Zelda'' comic]] highly resemble their original artwork from ''The Legend of Zelda''. Although a Wizzrobe makes a brief appearance in "[[The Legend of Zelda (Comic)/Issue 1#He Also Serves|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> it plays a more important role in "[[The Legend of Zelda (Comic)/Issue 2#To the First Power|To the First Power]]" and, to an extent, in "[[The Legend of Zelda (Comic)/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 [[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 it 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|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|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>
 
 
===''The Crystal Trap''===
 
{{Main|Madame Grusha}}
 
A Wizzrobe disguised as a [[Fortune Teller]] appears in ''[[The Crystal Trap]]''. 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 will manage 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>
 
 
===''The Wand of Gamelon''===
 
[[File:Gamelon Wizzrobe.jpg|thumb|200px|Wizzrobe in ''The Wand of Gamelon'']]
 
In {{TWoG}}, a Wizzrobe appears as a minion of [[Ganon]] and as the fourth boss. He is located in the [[Shutoy Lake]] tower. He resembles a green-skinned wizard wearing a purple cloak.
 
 
He had captured [[Lady Alma]] and held her hostage in the Shutoy Lake tower.<ref>{{Cite|Oh dear, Wizzrobe has captured Lady Alma.|Impa|TWoG}}</ref> Lady Alma says that she is not afraid of him, and he responds by casting a spell to bury her in stones. [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] fights and defeats him by reflecting his disintegration spell back at him. He disappears in a blast of fire. Lady Alma gives Zelda [[Canteen]] for saving her, originally given to her by [[Link]].
 
 
==== Strategy ====
 
The only way to defeat Wizzrobe is to deflect his spells back at him, by using the [[Shields of the Philips CD-i Games#Reflecting Shield|Reflecting Shield]].
 
 
===''A Link to the Past'' Comic===
 
[[File:Wizzrobe's Trap.png|thumb|right|Link caught in the Wizzrobe's trap in the ''A Link to the Past'' comic]]
 
A Wizzrobe is featured in Chapter 9 of the [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (Comic)|''A Link to the Past'' comic]]. 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 since 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 as 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... Dinner, with you as the main course!|book= A Link to the Past|publisher= Nintendo Power|page= 12}}</ref> However, a whirlpool is created that engulfs both Vitreous and the Wizzrobe, and from beneath [[Zora (A Link to the Past Comic)|Zora]] appears to rescue Link.
 
 
===''Hyrule Warriors''===
 
Although Wizzrobes do not appear in {{HW}}, one of the main antagonists, [[Wizzro]], resembles a Wizzrobe both in appearance and in name.
 
{{noncanon|End}}
 
 
==Trivia==
 
*The beeping sound that Wizzrobes emit in ''The Wind Waker'' when they appear or teleport is similar to the sound that plays when Ganon teleports in ''A Link to the Past''.
 
*While Wizzrobes are not present in {{TP}}, [[Zant Mask]]s use the same attack strategy as the Wizzrobes from ''The Wind Waker'', teleporting back and forth and firing magic blasts at Link.
 
*[[Blaaz]], the boss of the [[Temple of Fire]] in ''Phantom Hourglass'', appears to be slightly based on the Wizzrobe. It shares a similar appearance and attack strategy to Wizzrobes.
 
*The Wizzrobe design is similar to the {{wk|Simirror}} enemy from the {{wk|Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series}}. They also resemble the Black Mage of the {{wp|Final Fantasy|''Final Fantasy'' series}}.

Revision as of 01:36, 18 November 2015

Template:Future game Template:Game

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD is a Wii U remake of the Nintendo GameCube and Wii game, Twilight Princess. It was officially announced via a Nintendo Direct webcast on November 12, 2015 and will be released on March 4, 2016.[1] It is the second remaster of a Zelda title on the Wii U following The Wind Waker HD. This remake uses the world orientation of the GameCube version, which was reversed on the Wii version. A bundle set containing the Wolf Link amiibo will also be released.

The game features graphical upgrades from the original version and runs at a higher resolution. It also features some gameplay changes, which Nintendo will announce in the future.

Changes and Additions

Graphics

Twilight Princess HD features up-rendered and touched up graphics from the original game, giving the game a cleaner and higher-definition look. As opposed to the 480 resolution of the original version, Twilight Princess HD uses the 1080p resolution that is standard on Wii U. This provides for six times the number of pixels, resulting in additional clarity, especially for faraway objects and precise aiming. Several textures in the game are touched up with added details, with notable examples including Link's hair, Zant's armor, and several background textures. These textures look less "muddy" and blurred than in the original. The game also sports brighter lighting.[2]

Twilight Princess HD is not a complete graphical remake, with much of its character models and geometry (for instance, the cliff of Hyrule Field shown in the opening sequence) retaining its somewhat primitive design.

amiibo Support

Twilight Princess HD will be compatible with the Wolf Link amiibo, along with the Super Smash Bros. series of Zelda amiibo, including Link's, Zelda's, Ganondorf's, Sheik's and Toon Link's amiibos. The Wolf Link amiibo will be able to read and save data from Twilight Princess HD, and transfer it over to The Legend of Zelda for the Wii U.[1] It is currently unknown what kind of features these amiibo figures will have in the two games.

Limited Editions

In North America, Europe and Japan, a limited edition bundle box set will be released, which will come packaged with the Wolf Link amiibo for use in the game. A special pre-order edition will also include a CD of the game's original soundtrack.[1] In Europe, the soundtrack is included in the bundle itself.
