The Silver Lizalfos is the strongest ordinary Lizalfos in the game. It has 864 health and an attack rating of 20, which makes it three times as sturdy as a Black Lizalfos and a real danger to anyone without upgraded armor. Stay mobile, punish its recovery after each swing and it goes down; in return it drops a generous mix of gems and Lizalfos parts.
Where to find it
Silver Lizalfos stand in for the lower-ranked Lizalfos at camps and on patrol once enemy strength has climbed to its highest tier. In Master Mode they replace the places where Black Lizalfos would otherwise stand.

How to beat it
Bring good protection
Eat meals that boost defense or wear upgraded armor before you approach. Its hits are heavy enough that a couple of mistakes cost most of your hearts early on.
Read the leap
It darts around and jumps in at an angle. Hold your guard, and when it commits to a swing, dodge to the side at the last moment for a flurry rush, or parry the strike with your shield.
Strike the head
An arrow to the head staggers it and leaves it open. Close in and land your strongest combo, then back off before it recovers.
