Guardian


 * This article is about the enemy in Skyward Sword. For other uses, see Guardian (disambiguation).

A Guardian is a creature featured in Skyward Sword. It is a powerful enemy that inhabits the Silent Realm.

While Link is in the Silent Realm, he will have to collect tear-shaped items to exit the alternate reality. However, collecting one of these items releases a Guardian, who will start chasing after Link. The young hero must evade these enemies, since one single hit from the Guardian will defeat him, similar to Phantoms. Link must use the tear-shaped items in the Silent Realm to stun the creatures for a limited time. A flower on the side of the screen acts as a timer, with its petals disappearing to indicate how long the Guardian will be stunned.
