Use Ranged Attacks

Unlike other Lizalfos, the Electric variants tend to use melee attacks and will often chase Link around to electrify him. Switch to your bow and keep your distance while attacking them in order to avoid taking damage.

List of All Bows

Avoid Using Metal Weapons

Getting shocked by an Electric Lizalfos while wielding a metal weapon and shield will immediately disarm you.

Be sure to use wooden weapons like the Feathered Spear or Dragonbone Boko Shield as you won't get disarmed even if you get electrocuted.

List of All Weapons

Freeze it in Place With Ice

Try to freeze them to prevent them from charging at you or shooting at you with their electric attacks. You can use a Sapphire Rod or Magic Scepter against them especially when going up a huge crowd of Electric Lizalfos to avoid getting swarmed.

Aim For Their Head to Deal Critical Damage

Shooting their heads will knock them down and deal critical damage. It would be easier to hit their weak spot by using a bow with a Five-Shot Burst modifier.

Shoot Their Head to Trigger an Electric Blast

Electric Lizalfos will release an electric blast around it when you hit their head. Enemies caught inside blast radius will get shocked and will drop their weapons.

Be sure to shoot their weak spot at a safe distance so you won't get caught in its shock blast.
