Lorule Soldier


 * This article is about the Soldier variant of the Lorulean Military. For the Knight variant of Lorulean military see Lorulean Knight.

Lorule Soldiers are enemies appearing in. They are the Lorulean counterpart to the Soldiers found dutifully protecting Hyrule Castle prior to Yuga sealing it in his dark Barrier.

Characteristics and Weaknesses
Lorule Soldiers once stood guard in Lorule Castle, but surrendered and deserted their posts to become followers of Gemesaur King as a result of Princess Hilda's inability to protect them. They guard the maze in the Dark Ruins that leads to the Dark Palace and wear masks of varying colors and patterns that emit red beams in search for intruders, similar to the beams emitted by the Deku Scrub guards in the Deku Palace in.

When Link approaches the first Lorule Soldier he encounters, the Lorule Soldier orders the capture of any intruder, preventing the young hero from directly reaching the Dark Palace. Though most Lorule Soldiers are mobile and will pace back and forth, there are also stationary Soldiers who will stare in one direction. In order to bypass them, Link must Wall Merge beyond their line of sight until he is a safe distance away from them. If Link is seen by the Lorule Soldiers, the young hero will be imprisoned in one of the holding cells in the area. Link can escape by Wall Merging through the bars.

Lorule Soldiers cannot be defeated by any means and must be avoided entirely. After defeating the Gemesaur King, the Lorule Soldiers disappear from the Dark Ruins.
