'''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. Their name is likely a corruption of "dark knight."

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.
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]'', Darknuts again have color and helmet variation corresponding to that of ''The Wind Waker''. A black-armored Darknut that is roughly twice Link's height and wears a crested helmet appears as the mid-boss in a {{wp|Pantheon, Rome|Pantheon}}-like room of the [[Temple of Time]], and is capable of many techniques using its massive broadsword, as well as [[Shield Bash|Shield Attack]]s. 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, with moves like the [[Helm Splitter]] being quite effective at breaking its guard for successive hits. 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 and come in subtly different colors, being silver, red-tinted, and turquoise-tinted. Sometimes silver ones initially wield maces instead of broadswords. Playing through the Cave of Ordeals again after completing it once adds an extra Darknut to the 39th and 49th floors, both of which have distinct silver-and-red armor and swords. A turquoise Darknut 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.
 
The [[hero's shade]] character has similar armor and stature to Darknuts, and they in fact share certain animations.
