Magicians are enemies from Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. They were never officially named in English; their Japanese name is Mago, which translates roughly to Magician. They are found only in the Ocean Palace. Magicians are orange-robed monsters with skull-like faces. It is unknown whether they are skeletons or if they wear masks. Magicians move by teleportation. They will appear in immaterial form, where they cannot be damaged. They briefly materialize to release a ball of flame that travels along the floor towards Link. This is the only time they are vulnerable. After releasing the flame, they phase out and teleport to a different location in the room.

Unlike other enemies in Zelda II, they always provide experience points, never Magic Vials or P Bags. They are also one of the highest experience giving enemies in the game giving out 200 experience points upon defeat.
