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]].

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. 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. | ||

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures]]'', soldiers appear again as enemies, having been influenced by [[Vaati]]'s magic. Generic, | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures]]'', soldiers appear again as enemies, having been influenced by [[Vaati]]'s magic. Generic, short sword-wielding soldiers are shorter than other types, and typically appear en masse around the enormous [[Darknut|Chief Soldier]]s. They appear blue-armored outside and green-armored inside dungeons, but have the same amount of health in either case. Later in the game, stronger red and yellow ones appear as well. They lack the topknot-like attachment sword- and bow-wielding ones have, and the frontal spike is smaller and triangular. If the Chief Soldier is defeated before thy are, they run around frantically before exploding. Of note is that the guide calls them "Darknuts" on a single occasion,<ref>''The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures'' The Official Nintendo Player's Guide, page 23. "''As you cross the bridge, line up in the wide formation to cut through the onslaught of Darknuts that confront you.''"</ref> despite continuing to use generic terms every other time. | ||

They are noted to look " | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds]]'', soldiers are depicted as paintings brought to life by [[Yuga]]. They are noted to look "much burlier" than Hyrule's current soldiers. Short Sword Soldiers are far more common than in ''A Link to the Past'', appearing alongside the slightly-stronger Sword Soldiers across [[Hyrule]]. Some also appear alongside shieldless red [[Spear Soldier]]s inside upper Hyrule Castle, released all at once midway up by Yuga. Short Sword Soldiers no longer wield shields and have the exact same pauldrons and helmets as other lesser soldiers. They also actively chase Link instead of running in a straight path. In [[Lorule]], there are various types of [[Lorule Soldier]]s, many of which have a corresponding type to the "normal" soldier enemies. However, the "normal" types appear in the [[Treacherous Tower]]. | ||
