Garo

The Garo, also called Garo Robes or Garo Ninjas,  are enemies in.

History
In life, the Garo were enemies of the Ikana Kingdom. Their nation sent several spies to investigate Ikana Canyon to gather intelligence, and even after they have died, they continue to haunt Ikana, ready to report to their superior. Their primary target in the Ikana region was the Ancient Castle of Ikana. Although they appear to be humans with cloaks, Pamela's Father claims Garos are empty shells, animated by willpower.

While information regarding their culture is scarce, it can be inferred that they had an elaborate code of honor. Any spies captured or defeated on enemy ground were required by law to commit ritual suicide and die without leaving a corpse.

The leader of the Garo is the Garo Master, who Link battles in the Stone Tower Temple. Unlike his underlings, the Garo Master uses a Bomb to literally explode at his defeat. The Garo's Mask, which Link acquires in a race against the Gorman Brothers, originally belonged to him.

Strategy
The Garo use long, sharp Swords in battle that can be easily blocked with the Shield. Blocking their attacks will render them weaponless, as their hard Sword strikes will ricochet off of the Shield and out of the their grasp. During Link's visit to Ikana Canyon, he can summon a single Garo at a time by wearing the Garo's Mask and wandering into an area where "a thirst for blood" looms. When the Garo realizes it has mistaken Link for its master, it summons a ring of fire and attacks. If defeated, Garo will "surrender their wisdom" and subsequently dissolve in green fire.

Wisdoms
The following is a list of the wisdoms the Garo will reveal upon their defeat.

Trivia
