Iron Knuckles are large, heavily armored knights, equipped with swords or axes capable of dealing immense damage. Though quite similar to [[Darknut]]s, Iron Knuckles are less common across the series, and usually play the role of stoic guardians as opposed to the more aggressive behavior of a Darknut. The main difference however is that they do not share a Darknut's traditional weakness to attacks from behind. These foes are dueling elites, incorporating much of the same swordplay technique [[Link]] does during battle to great effect. These knights are also known for their unmatched defensive capabilities and long vitality. In their debut, ''The Adventure of Link'', they predominantly appear in the temple dungeons where it is said they were "iron warriors" chosen by the [[King of Hyrule (The Adventure of Link)|King of Hyrule]].<ref>{{Cite manual|quote= An iron warrior chosen by the king.

Link can perform a [[Down Thrust]] on an Iron Knuckle's head to inflict damage. Link can also jump and stab his Sword at the top Iron Knuckle's head with the correct timing to guarantee that the Iron Knuckle will not block the attack.  
Iron Knuckles later appeared as mini-bosses in {{OoT}} and {{MM}}, in the former appearing as a facet of the plot at the [[Spirit Temple]], and in the latter as guardians that appear predominantly under the [[Ikana Graveyard]], protecting tombs. In ''Ocarina of Time'', several Iron Knuckles are encountered throughout the Spirit Temple. [[Twinrova]] had also kidnapped [[Nabooru]] in the past, the [[Sage#Nabooru|Sage of Spirit]], and held her in the Spirit Temple. In the future, when Link confronts Twinrova for the first time, they send an Iron Knuckle, which turns out to be a brainwashed Nabooru under its armor.<ref>{{Cite|Something's strange... This is not an ordinary enemy!|Navi|OoT}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|By the way... I really messed up... I was brainwashed by those old witches and used by Ganondorf to do his evil will...|Nabooru|OoT}}</ref> Even after he defeats her and regains her consciousness, she is again captured by Twinrova. In ''Majora's Mask'', there are only three Iron Knuckles: two are beneath the Ikana Graveyard on the [[First Day|First]] and [[Second Day]], respectively. One is guarding the resting place of [[Composer Brothers#Flat|Flat]] and the other is guarding a [[Heart Container#Piece of Heart|Piece of Heart]]. The third is on the [[Moon (Majora's Mask)|Moon]] in the hide and seek game played by Link while in his [[Hylian]] form. Also in ''Majora's Mask'', gold Iron Knuckle armor can be seen on display in the [[Curiosity Shop]]. The significance of this armor is unknown, but it is interesting to note that the armor wields a sword like their appearances in ''The Adventure of Link'', not an axe.


The Iron Knuckles of ''Ocarina of Time'' and ''Majora's Mask'' were distinguished from Darknuts of previous games by their use of huge axes, capable of taking four hearts from Link at every swing, making them one of the strongest recurring enemies in the games. Their grand size and armor coverage also meant they took many hits to defeat, but their slow attacks and recovery are their weakness.<ref>{{Cite|You know about the Iron Knuckle, right? Stay away from its ax attack, then look for a chance to retaliate.|Tatl|MM}}</ref> Like in ''The Adventure of Link'', they also come in varying strengths and colors. Nabooru's Iron Knuckle armor in ''Ocarina of Time'' in particular is larger and has more extravagant armor. Her's is also unique in that her armor falls away and harmlessly reveals her upon defeat.
A blue Iron Knuckle known as [[Rebonack]] appears as the [[Boss]] of the Island Palace and as mini-bosses in the Three-Eye Rock Palace. Rebonack is also known as "The Guardian Ironknuckle."<ref>{{Cite Guide|quote= THE GUARDIAN IRONKNUCKLE|game= TLoZ|guide= NES Game Atlas|page= 68}}</ref> When Rebonack has taken a certain amount of damage,<!--How much?--> he will dismount the mechanical horse that he rides and fight as a regular blue Iron Knuckle.


Strategy-wise, Iron Knuckles in ''The Adventure of Link'' are experts at defensive strategy, using a shield they constantly move up or down to block Link's attacks while also attacking high and low. Link must also focus on defense and watch the swing of its sword and block accordingly while looking for an opening. He can use the [[Shield Spell]] to protect himself when fighting them. It is also possible for Link to jump and perform a [[Down Thrust]] at its head to inflict damage.  
In the original [[Famicom Disk System]] version of the game, blue Iron Knuckles' knives flash and disappear when blocked, but in the updated [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version, they do not flash and instead bounce off of Link's Shield.


In ''Ocarina of Time'' and ''Majora's Mask'', they are particularly weak to [[Jump Attacks]] while they recover from failed ax strikes. The armor of the Iron Knuckle can be damaged, providing two stages to every battle. While wearing armor, they are slow and impervious to all attacks save for sword swings and [[Bomb]]s. Once enough armor is removed, they become enraged and move quicker, but are now weak to Arrows, opening up the opportunity for a successful long-range strategy. Despite their similarity to Darknuts, it is not recommended to attack an Iron Knuckle from behind, as they can perform a fast, deadly spinning attack to counter such a strategy. [[Nayru's Love]] is particularly useful when fighting Iron Knuckles due to the extensive damage they cause.

In ''The Adventure of Link'', a blue Iron Knuckle called [[Rebonack]] is the [[Boss]] of the [[Island Palace]]. This boss is also sometimes referred to as "The Guardian Ironknuckle" or simply "Ironknuckle".{{fact}} It rides a levitating steel horse and wields a lance, and charges at Link at high speed. Two more Rebonacks appear as mini-bosses in the [[Three-Eye Rock Palace]], one of which guards the chamber containing the [[Cross]] and the second appearing before the pit that leads to the boss, [[Barba]]. While riding on the steel horse, they are only vulnerable to the Down Thrust, but once having taken enough damage, they will dismount and fight Link as a regular blue Iron Knuckle.

====Strategy====
==Nomenclature==
Iron Knuckle's only weakness is the [[Items in Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon#Power Glove|Power Glove]], which will defeat him in a single strike. However Zelda must also be careful not to get too close, as this gives him a chance to strike back.

==Theory==
{{Theory|Start}}
The fact that other Iron Knuckles dissolve completely when defeated in ''Ocarina of Time'' and ''Majora's Mask'' lead to believe that they are animated by magic. However, carefully positioning the game camera through them reveals a [[Gerudo]] with a vacant stare similar to Nabooru. This is likely because the scene that follows the defeat of Nabooru as a Iron Knuckle shows her armor falling off, with a stunned expression on her face, and all Iron Knuckles use the same body model with slightly different outer armor. Though this head was removed from {{OoT3D}}, their body type is still present as it was in ''Ocarina of Time'' and ''Majora's Mask''. In fact, the Gerudo body is more visible, allowing to clearly see the chest of a Gerudo when the armor falls off, something that seems to be deliberately done as the head was removed from the model. As a result, some believe that all Iron Knuckles are actually heavily-armored Gerudo brainwashed by Twinrova. However, as this model is not readily visible to Link and requires careful camera manipulation to view, means that this is most certainly a camera bug. The same model is reused in ''Majora's Mask'' with the same bug achievable.

==Trivia==
*In the Famicom Disc System version of ''The Adventure of Link'', blue Iron Knuckles' Sword Beams 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.
*Iron Knuckles previously held the record for the highest damage output in a single attack of any regular enemy in a ''Zelda'' game, dealing four hearts of damage in ''Ocarina of Time'' and ''Majora's Mask'', as well as eight hearts in {{MQ}}. This record was lost to [[Shadow Link]] and [[Gramps]] in {{ALBW}}, who can deal 32 hearts worth of damage in [[Hero Mode]].
*Nabooru's Iron Knuckle armor in ''Ocarina of Time'' does not start out with a weapon. Instead, it summons an ax from thin air by snapping its fingers.
*[[Onox]], the main antagonist of {{OoS}}, highly resembles the appearance of an Iron Knuckle. The only considerable difference is that Onox wields a [[Ball and Chain]], while Iron Knuckles tend to use swords or axes.
*Iron Knuckles from ''Ocarina of Time'' and ''Majora's Mask'' wear a cloth tunic bearing Gerudo patterns, similar to those seen on [[Ganon]]dorf's and Twinrova's clothing.

Ironknuckle
An iron warrior chosen by the king. A strong enemy who can use a shield and sword. He exists in many forms.

Iron Knuckles are "iron warriors" chosen by the King of Hyrule.[4] They appear throughout many Palaces in Hyrule, including Parapa Palace, Midoro Palace, the Island Palace, and the Three-Eye Rock Palace. Iron Knuckles fight with a Sword and Shield, simultaneously blocking attacks and stabbing their Sword at their opponent. They appear in orange, red, and blue varieties. Red Iron Knuckles are simply more powerful than orange ones, with more health and attack power, but blue Iron Knuckles are capable of throwing knives.[5] Link can defeat Iron Knuckles by hitting them enough times with his Magical Sword. Link can block an Iron Knuckle's Sword with his Magical Shield. Link can perform a Down Thrust on an Iron Knuckle's head to inflict damage. Link can also jump and stab his Sword at the top Iron Knuckle's head with the correct timing to guarantee that the Iron Knuckle will not block the attack.

A blue Iron Knuckle known as Rebonack appears as the Boss of the Island Palace and as mini-bosses in the Three-Eye Rock Palace. Rebonack is also known as "The Guardian Ironknuckle."[6] When Rebonack has taken a certain amount of damage, he will dismount the mechanical horse that he rides and fight as a regular blue Iron Knuckle.

In the original Famicom Disk System version of the game, blue Iron Knuckles' knives flash and disappear when blocked, but in the updated NES version, they do not flash and instead bounce off of Link's Shield.

Cadence of Hyrule

Ambiguously Canon Information

Iron Knuckles make appearances as enemies in Cadence of Hyrule where they move to the beat of the music. They move on every fourth beat, crouching on the third beat before jumping onto an adjacent tile, harming any who might be standing in the way. If Cadence, Link, Yves, or Zelda is unfortunate enough to stand directly in front of them, they will attack by punching them with what seems to be brass knuckles on their hands. Their thick armor protects them from most attacks, forcing the heroes to either attack them from behind where they are exposed, or use items that can pierce their armor such as Bombs, Bombchus, arrows fired from the Great Bow, the legendary Fragarach sword, or use any Weapon while the Ring of Piercing is equipped.
