Darknut

Originally appearing in A Link to the Past, the armoured Darknuts are part of Ganon's elite fighting corps. These armoured knights reappeared in The Wind Waker, where their strong armour and massive blades proved a formidable match for Link. The Darknuts were also extremely rescourceful and would engage in close quarters combat without a weapon or take advantage of fallen enemy's weapons if it had lost its own.Weak when attacked from behind, where their armour was strapped, Darknuts in this game had relatively few other weaknesses. Link soon discovered that the best way to deal with these powerful enemies was the Parry Attack, which would allow him to easily remove the Darknut's armour and avoid it's sword. Darknuts seemed to have been ranked by Ganon, and different ranks wore different amour and carried different weapons.
