A group of six Armos Knights are the first Dungeon Master Link faces, the boss of the [[Eastern Palace]] in {{ALttP}}. They guard the [[Pendants of Virtue#Pendant of Courage|Pendant of Courage]] within this first dungeon. While they can be defeated with Link's [[Fighter's Sword]], this takes a very large number of hits per knight. The best way to defeat them is to use the [[Bow]] found in the dungeon, as they will fall from three Arrows each. They fight by jumping around in a circular formation, before lining up at the top of the screen and charging at Link all at once, attempting to crush him. Once their numbers are diminished, the last one will turn red and attempt to crush [[Link]] with hard stomps around the room. As with the others, three Arrows will finish him off, although as he will attack close up it may be easier to use the sword. After emerging victorious, Link is rewarded with the Pendant of Courage and a [[Heart Container]].

Later in the game, they show up once more in [[Ganon's Tower (A Link to the Past)|Ganon's Tower]], where they guard the [[Big Key]]. They must be defeated one more time to advance to the top of the tower, where [[Agahnim]] awaits. They are defeated in the same manner as before, but [[Silver Arrow]]s and the [[Master Sword]] allow for a much quicker fight. The battle does, however, take place on a slick ice floor, making attacking a little more troublesome.

This variation of the Armos Knight appears mainly in the [[Tower of the Gods]] and the [[Wind Temple]] as common enemies with similar appearances and weaknesses to Armos found in {{OoT}}. These variations will hop towards Link much like their more standard brethren, but occasionally will stop suddenly to unleash spikes from their sides, when they will open their mouths. If Link throws a [[Bomb]] (or [[Bomb Flower]]) into its open mouth, the monster will be defeated, and hop wildly in a straight line towards where Link stood before exploding like regular Armos. If Link does not throw a bomb in, the monster will close its mouth and continue chasing after him. By shooting it in its eye, its possible to make it open its mouth immediately. With its single eye, this variation of the Armos Knight has a lot in common with [[Eyegore Statue]]s.

This variation of the Armos Knight appears in the [[Desert Temple (Four Swords Adventures)|Desert Temple]], the second stage in the [[Desert of Doubt]] in {{FSA}}. A large statue appears at the start of the dungeon who must be moved to gain entrance, and once Link "awakens" the temple, some of them will be revealed from behind barriers and become active. These Armos Knights will come to life when Link gets near, like regular [[Armos]], but they will only stomp after Link when the Links turn their backs on them. They are invincible, unaffected by Swords or Arrows. As with most Armos statues in the game, many other statues in the dungeon will not come to life, but later in the dungeon, six Armos Knights will appear already active in a large room. They stomp around in synchronized jumps a large circle around the room, very similar to the boss from {{ALttP|-}}, although they will not actively attack the four Links. The room itself also has [[Beamos]] throughout, and acts as a deadly puzzle. Once the four Links light all the torches in the room using Arrows, the Armos Knights will be destroyed.

Two big [[Armos]] will appear in [[Hyrule Castle]] earlier in the game, but these are simply very large normal Armos and can be defeated easily with a Sword.

The Armos Knights appear in the {{ALttP|Cagiva}}, being the first opponent properly faced by Link since his failed fight with [[Agahnim]]. He manages to defeat 4 of them, however the other two manage to overpower him. Before they could finish the job however, they are defeated by the timely intervention of [[Rasuka]], Link's martial artist friend.
