Remember that unnerving sound descending from the ceiling?

That insidious shadow growing all around you? If you’ve played The Legend of Zelda titles for long enough, then you’ll undoubtedly be wise enough to know when a Wallmaster is creeping on you.

Nonetheless, if your usually impeccable reflexes are having an off day and you get caught by this sharp-clawed foe, you’ll be forcibly dragged all the way back to the entrance of the room. Sometimes of the entire dungeon!

A fixed and recognizable figure in The Legend of Zelda’s monster roster, a Wallmaster is a creature born from darkness with a single purpose: derail the good intentions of the hero and become a macabre obstacle.

In fact, the ominous presence of the Wallmaster is so overwhelming and relentless that you’ll ultimately become suspicious of every ceiling and every corner. You’ll need to be quick on your toes and master the roll technique if you want to turn this creature into smoke without much effort.

If you ever get caught (believe me, you’ll get caught at least once), retrace your steps until you face the monstrous hand once again. Rinse and repeat only if necessary.
