Mighty Darknut

Description
A Mighty Darknut is a stronger, more heavily armored version of the original Darknut. They have a different appearance than the original, with shining red armor and a long red cape with a black tunic underneath. Their head is also differently shaped from the original Darknut: they have red patterns going down their face and chest. The Mighty Darknut appears in The Wind Waker.

How to defeat
1 at a time: The mighty Darknut is much stronger than the original like it says above, but is still simple to defeat in combat. There are a few ways to kill it,
 * Use the parry(A) command twice on its back to destroy both the cape and the armor and slash with your sword(or any other blunt weapon) until it explodes.
 * Use the parry(A) command on the Mighty Darknut's helmet then use your Boomerang to daze it. Then run behind and knock its cape and armor off.
 * When you see one simply run behind it before it sees you and shoot fire or ice arrows at its back until it explodes, or when you run behind it have some fun and hit it with a hammer.
 * If it sees you first, hit it with a fire arrow to burn the cape and fight it like a regular Darknut.
 * Shoot one light arrow at it and it will explode(works with almost every monster in the game).

Many: Since they don't sense you until you are at a certain distance away from them, just attack one then use one of the strategies from above, or one of your own to defeat it. Or if you are unlucky enough to get caught with more than one, then what you may want to do (in Wind Waker only) is to get some of the armor off one (Cape and Armor preferred), and then let the other one swing at you, hopefully hitting the other Darknut in the process.

Locations
Mighty Darknuts are rarely found on islands throughout Wind Waker but the places that you will find them are,
 * Outside Ganon's Tower on the path from Hyrule Castle.
 * When you come back to Hyrule Castle when Zelda is missing and you find three Mighty Darknuts where the Master Sword once was.
 * In the hole on Outset on floor 99, and in few caverns on islands across the sea.

Twilight Princess
Spoilers ahead!

Although the Darknuts were very few in Twilight Princess some believe that the one final Darknut you fought before entering the battle with Ganondorf, was indeed a Mighty Darknut. Some reasons for this thought is because it had different patterns than the other two we fought earlier. Also his armor was gold unlike all other Darknuts in the game. Another reason, why would Ganon the great king of evil only put one normal Darknut to guard his lair and two somewhere else.

Another Darknut in Twilight Princess believed to be a Mighty Darknut is the first one you fight in the Temple of Time. Unlike the other darknuts in Twilight Princess this one has a different style helm, a round shield, a double edged sword and unique gold and red markings.
