'''Darknuts''' are heavily-armored sword-wielding knight enemies. They are very hard-hitting, adept at using [[shield]]s, and often fairly intelligent relative to other enemies, and as such are usually some of [[Link]]'s toughest foes. | '''Darknuts''' are heavily-armored sword-wielding knight enemies.

They appear in orange and blue, with the blue ones being more powerful. Darknuts can only be damaged away from their shields, and they constantly move forwards with their swords, occasionally turning. They typically try to pursue Link, and very often appear in very large groups. They sometimes appear in water-filled rooms, where Link can use the [[stepladder]] to be out of their reach. | ||

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages]]'', | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages]]'', Soldiers are much more plentiful. Swordless Soldiers appear in the northern half of [[Talus Peaks]] outside [[Symmetry Village]], where they are red in the present and blue in the past. Both colors appear in the [[Crown Dungeon]], [[Ancient Tomb]], and [[Black Tower]]. | ||

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]'', a black-armored Darknut that is roughly twice Link's height and wears a crested helmet appears as the mid-boss in the [[Temple of Time]], and is capable of many techniques using its massive broadsword. Despite its strength, it is hampered by incredibly slow movement. While it defends much of the time with its shield, attacking it successfully and repeatedly chips pieces of its armor away. Once all of its outer armor is gone, it will throw its sword at Link and start attacking him with an arming sword (most likely an estoc). In this stage, it is much faster, and may even kick Link back. However, it is much less powerful and cannot defend nearly as well. Later, Darknuts with more typical horned helmets appear as enemies deep in the [[Cave of Ordeals]] and in [[Hyrule Castle]], where they are usually fought in pairs, come in subtly different colors, being silver, red-tinted, and turquoise-tinted, and sometimes initially wield maces instead. A turquoise one in the foyer of Hyrule Castle acts as the location's second miniboss, following [[King Bulblin]]. The final Darknut, located in Hyrule Castle's tower, wears a unique set of gold-tinted armor. However, none of the armor or weapon variations denote any functional difference. | |||
