In most titles, they serve the [[Royal Family of Hyrule]] and are charged with the protection of the citizens under the monarchy's rule. Though they appear mostly in [[Hyrule]], Soldiers appear in other lands as well, such as [[Termina]] and [[Labrynna]]. Soldiers are known for their fervent sense of duty, though their infallible obedience occasionally leads to manipulation by evil forces. They generally bear a strong resemblance to soldiers of [[Medieval elements in The Legend of Zelda Universe|medieval Europe]].

In Kakariko Village, the [[Death Mountain Trail Gatekeeper]] guards the gate to [[Death Mountain Trail]]. He will not open the gate until he sees [[Zelda's Letter]]. This Soldier, whose [[Graveyard Boy|son]] asked for the [[Keaton Mask]], will ask Link to buy the mask for him.<ref>{{Cite|Have you been to the Happy Mask Shop that just opened in the Hyrule Castle Town Market? Everyone is talking about it! My little boy pesters me for a popular mask, but I don't have time to go there...So, could you go and get the mask for me next time you are in the Market? If you don't feel like it, that's OK, but...Well, I have no choice, this is my job...sigh...|Death Mountain Trail Gatekeeper|OoT}}</ref> This begins the [[Mask Trading Sequence]]. There are two other Soldiers in Kakariko: one stands at the Village entrance while the other stands outside [[Impa's House]]. Self-proclaimed "clock Soldiers of Kakariko", they will tell Link the time if he talks to them.<ref>{{Cite|Ding dong, ding dong! I'm a clock soldier of Kakariko!|Soldier|OoT}}</ref>

{{Noncanon|Start}}

In {{HW}}, Soldiers appear as the fighting troops in numerous [[Forces]]. Infantry Soldiers are common and make up most of the numbers in a Force. They are followed by [[Captain (Hyrule Warriors)|Captain]]s, which are stronger variants that take lead and take on various other roles determined by their type, as well as Generals or Commanders, which are typically much stronger Soldiers that are crucial to a Force. Soldiers are tasked with defending areas and attacking enemies. They often occupy [[Keep]]s and [[Outpost]]s their Force has claimed, which will also increase their numbers if allowed time.

{{Noncanon|End}}

Soldiers in their ''Spirit Tracks'' design appear as spectators on the [[Hyrule Circuit]] track.
