Hyrulean Soldier



"A fervent sense of duty runs through the veins of every Hyrulean Soldier, as it is their calling to protect the royal palace and maintain order. Hyrulean Soldiers make up the bulk of the Royal Guard."

- From the Zelda.com encyclopedia

Hyrulean Soldiers have appeared in a number of Zelda games.

In A Link to the Past the Soldiers and Knights of Hyrule were under the control of Agahnim, and would attack Link on sight.

In Ocarina of Time, the Hyrulean Soldiers guarded Hyrule Castle, Hyrule Castle Town and Kakariko Village.

In Majora's Mask the soldiers of Clock Town were Termina's equivalent of the soldiers of Hyrule Castle Town.

In Four Swords Adventures, the Hyrulean Soldiers appear to have been possessed once more, being one of the most populous foes in the game. They resemble their A Link to the Past counterparts greatly.

In The Minish Cap, Hyrulean Soldiers are again found guarding Hyrule Town.

In Twilight Princess, the soldiers once again patrol Hyrule Castle Town. They are also encountered in Telma's Bar, and are shown attempting to defend Princess Zelda against Zant and his Shadow Beasts. They are quite cowardly, which Telma highly disapproves of. If Link enters Castle Town in wolf form, many soldiers will appear and surround him. If Wolf Link attempts to attack a soldier, they will run off and occasionally drop rupees and hearts.
