He is a powerful blue [[Iron Knuckle]] mounted on a floating mechanical horse and wielding a jousting lance. Two others are later encountered in the [[Three-Eye Rock Palace]] as mini-bosses.

After he has suffered enough damage, his horse will run away, Rebonack leave his lance, draws his sword and will fight Link on foot as a standard Blue Iron Knuckle by shooting [[Sword Beam]]s (referred to as knives in the ''NES Game Atlas''<ref name=nga-knives/>). However, Rebonack are much better defenders than other Iron Knuckles. Rebonack can also go off-screen, where Link cannot follow him, and continue shooting Sword Beams. During the second phase, it is best to continuously bait him to the middle of the room.

Rebonack appears in two episodes of ''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]''. He is first shown in "[[Quest for the Potion of Power]]" after [[Link]], [[Princess Zelda]], and Kevin arrive to the chamber of the [[Potion of Power]] in [[Island Palace]], where Rebonack reveals himself to be the guardian of the potion.<ref>{{Cite episode|quote=I am the guardian of the Potion of Power!|name=Rebonack|show=Captain N: The Game Master|episode=Quest for Potion of Power}}</ref> Link and Kevin argue as to how they should go about defeating him,<ref>{{Cite episode|quote=Try knocking him off his horse!|name=Kevin|show=Captain N: The Game Master|episode=Quest for the Potion of Power}}</ref><ref>{{Cite episode|quote=I don't need you telling me how to handle this, sorehead!|name=Link|show=Captain N: The Game Master|episode=Quest for the Potion of Power}}</ref> and before they even manage to inflict damage upon the armored foe, Princess Zelda is taken by Rebonack and Link realizes that he must fight alongside Kevin to be able to defeat it.<ref>{{Cite episode|quote=He's got Zelda! Okay, Kevin. Let's try it your way. This is going to take two of us.|name=Link|show=Captain N: The Game Master|episode=16}}</ref> Together, Link and Kevin fire at Rebonack, causing its horse to disappear and giving Zelda a chance to free herself. The three heroes then shoot at him one more time to finally defeat it.

In "[[Having a Ball]]", another Rebonack confronts them while Link, Princess Zelda, Kevin, and Princess Lana are exiting the tunnel that leads to the Island Palace. Kevin tries to shoot it with his Zapper but it has no effect, so they jump out of the way and allow Rebonack to fall into a nearby lake along with its horse.

===''The Legend of Zelda'' (Valiant Comics)===

Rebonack from ''The Adventure of Link'' appears in the "[[The Legend of Zelda (Valiant Comics)/Issue 1#Missing in Action|Missing in Action]]" story of {{TLoZ|Valiant Comics}}, although he is only known as an Iron Knuckle. Like in the game, he is the guardian of the [[Recorder]] in the [[Island Palace]]. When Link and Zelda arrive to the palace in search of the Recorder, they are confronted by Rebonack.<ref>''Little do they [Link and Zelda] suspect that their greatest challenge is yet to come, in the terrifying form of '''Ironknuckle'''!'' - N/A (''Valiant Comic Issue #1'')</ref> After a grueling battle, Link defeats his foe, knocking its helmet off. It turns out that it is a human, and not a monster under the armor. The man explains that an old king charged him with protecting the treasures within the palace,<ref>''Long ago, the old king charged me to protect the palace'' - Knight (''Valiant Comic Issue #1'')</ref> and that he was to stop anyone who was unworthy.<ref>''Long ago, the old king charged to protect the palace from those who are '''unworthy'''.'' - Knight (''Valiant Comic Issue #1'')</ref> He tells the duo that by defeating him, they are free to take what they want, and he shows them a secret wall that contains the magic flute.<ref>''By reaching the Fifth Palace and defeating me, you have proved that you deserve the treasures within.'' - Knight (''Valiant Comic Issue #1'')</ref>

*In the Famicom Disk System version of ''The Adventure of Link'', Rebonack's [[Sword Beam]]s flash and will disappear when blocked, much like Link's own, but in the NES version they do not flash and bounce off of Link's [[Shield]].
