Guardians are enemies in.

Characteristics and Weaknesses
Guardians are ancient machines with a cephalopodic design based on Octoroks. They are powerful enemies, with high health and a laser beam attack that deals six Hearts of damage. If a target is too close to them, they will attempt to distance themselves in order to fire their lasers. When defeated, they may drop any combination of Ancient Gears, Ancient Screws, Ancient Shafts and Ancient Springs. Smaller variants of Guardians can be found within Shrines of Trials, while deactivated Guardians can be found in various locations around Hyrule.

A crippled Guardian appears in the Eastern Abbey, though it remains dormant until Link approaches. Due to its damaged condition, it is unable to mobilize itself and instead rotates its head section and search for targets to lock on to before firing a laser from its eye.

Trivia

 * Guardians originally emitted a blue light instead of a pink one.
