In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]'', soldiers are heavily implied to be [[Hylian Soldier]]s brainwashed by [[Agahnim]]. At the start of the game, yellow-armored soldiers can be found in front of several gates near [[Hyrule Castle]], as well as on top of the battlements. While they do not allow [[Link]] through, they are friendly and offer advice. One of the ones on the wall recounts to Link how one of his friends has become increasingly distant to the point of seeming like a mindless drone recently, and worries that the same fate shall befall him. Once Link has saved [[Princess Zelda]] from her imprisonment, this type of guard disappears, presumably put under Agahnim's mind control. | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]'', soldiers are heavily implied to be [[Hylian Soldier]]s brainwashed by [[Agahnim]].

In the castle courtyard and on the ground floor of the castle, generic, knife-wielding soldier enemies are found alongside [[Sword Guard|sword-wielding ones]]. The dagger-wielders are depicted with green armor and short yellow pauldrons and a small yellow and brown shield. They patrol a small area, and do not react if Link makes noise. The only way for them to notice him is for him to walk in front of one. They do not chase him very far, however, and run in a straight line | In the castle courtyard and on the ground floor of the castle, generic, knife-wielding soldier enemies are found alongside [[Sword Guard|sword-wielding ones]].

The only way for them to notice him is for him to walk in front of one. They do not chase him very far, however, and run in a straight line. Once Agahnim sends Link to the [[pyramid]], this type of soldier can never be fought again due to the warp encompassing the castle grounds. Once [[Ganon]] is defeated at the end of the game, all of the soldiers are restored to normal, presumably including the ones Link has seemingly killed. At this point, their whole faces are shown within their helmets. | ||
Of additional note is that the basic soldiers actually have a unique unused helmet intended for them, present in the graphics data for their unique armor graphics.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_A_Link_to_the_Past#Unused_Soldier_Helmet TCRF]</ref> The helmet shows more face skin and has a somewhat-threatening design with spikes and studs, both of which may have been reasons for its lack of use in the final. | Of additional note is that the basic soldiers actually have a unique unused helmet intended for them, present in the graphics data for their unique armor graphics.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_A_Link_to_the_Past#Unused_Soldier_Helmet TCRF]</ref> The helmet shows more face skin and has a somewhat-threatening design with spikes and studs, both of which may have been reasons for its lack of use in the final. |
