==Characteristics==
=={{HW|-}}==
Captains fulfill similar roles to that of infantry soldiers. Their most basic objective is to combat enemy soldiers and to move in to take over [[Keep]]s and [[Outpost]]s. Unlike the weaker soldiers however, Captains are stronger and more resilient, and are able to fulfill other needs based on their type. Captains are commonly seen as Keep Bosses and Outpost Captains, who guard Keeps and Outposts respectively, as well as regular Captains that fight on the battlefield. Some Captains may also lead unit troops onto the field, thereby increasing their Force's numbers.

{{Main|Hylian Captain}}
'''Hylian Captains''' are the higher ranking soldiers of the [[Forces#Hyrulean Forces|Hyrulean Forces]]. As with the other soldiers, they are [[Hylian]]s trained to serve the Kingdom of [[Hyrule]] in times of war. They appear in numerous battles where the Hyrulean Forces face the [[Forces#Dark Forces|Dark Forces]], and later [[Forces#Ganondorf's Forces|Ganondorf's Forces]]. They also appear as enemy Captains when [[Ganondorf]] invades [[Hyrule Field (Hyrule Warriors)|Hyrule Field]], and as enemies to [[Cia]] and her lieutenants in the ''Master Quest'' DLC Pack Scenarios.

They appear in numerous battles where the Hyrulean Forces face the [[Dark Forces]], and later [[Ganondorf's Forces]]. They also appear as enemy Captains when [[Ganondorf]] invades [[Hyrule Field (Stage)|Hyrule Field]], and as enemies to [[Cia]] and her lieutenants in the ''Master Quest'' DLC Pack Scenarios.
In "[[The Sheikah Tribesman]]", a Hylian Captain appears behind a sealed gate in the northern section of the caves, requiring reinforcements. Either [[Impa]] or [[Link]] must locate and bomb a hidden passageway to rendezvous with him.
{{Clear}}
 
In "[[Land in the Sky]]", the Hyrulean Forces step into the portal to the Era of the Sky, where they find the [[Skyloft Forces]] combating the Dark Forces led by [[Ghirahim]] and [[Volga]]. The Skyloft Forces are commanded by '''Skyloft Captains''', who are otherwise identical to the Hylian Captains. The Hyrulean and Skyloft Forces both combine to drive out the Dark Forces. At the end of the battle, Ghirahim begins to brainwash and take control of a fraction of Skyloft Soldiers.<ref>{{Cite|How drab. I should bring this little moment to an end to make things a bit more tolerable. No... On second thought, it might be more fun to destroy them from the inside... Ha ha ha!|Ghirahim|HW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Hrk--! ...What is your bidding, master?|Skyloft Captain|HW}}</ref> In "[[Sealed Ambition]]", Ghirahim puts his plan into place by turning the brainwashed captains into Turncoat Soldiers to attack the Hyrulean Forces. The Hyrulean Forces must defeat them and their leader before they can continue scouting for Ghirahim and the [[Gate of Souls]] in the area.
 
The Skyloft Forces and Skyloft Captains also appear in "[[The Demon Lord]]". They combat the advances of Ghirahim and his Forces, and later fight [[Cia]] and her Dark Forces after she breaks her false alliance with them.
 
In "[[The Sacred Sword]]", the Hyrulean Forces are ambushed by the [[Ghost Forces]], which are led by '''Ghost Captains'''. They serve to protect the [[Temple of the Sacred Sword]] from outside threats.<ref>{{Cite|Those who would threaten the temple... will be punished!|Ghost Soldier|HW}}</ref> It is later revealed that [[Wizzro]] is manipulating the Ghost Forces, and upon his first defeat, the Ghost Forces retreat and allow the Hyrulean Forces entry to the temple.
 
As enemies, Hylian Captains have similar attack patterns to [[Stalmaster]]s and [[Darknut]]s, and attack by lunging forward and swinging their sword. Their attack can be predicted by the blue light they emit when they are about to attack. Doing so leaves them vulnerable and exposes their Weak Point Gauge.
 
In certain Adventure Mode battles, a Hylian Captain will become injured and retreats to the Allied Base. If they are not safely escorted and are defeated, they will reappear as a named variant of the [[Big Poe]] called a Hylian Ghost. This ghost will curse the Allied Forces in numerous ways when it appears.<ref>{{Cite|Hylian Ghost's curse has caused a faction of Allied Forces to retreat!|N/A|HW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Hylian Ghost's curse has reduced your total Rupees!|N/A|HW}}</ref>

'''Goron Captains''' are the higher ranking [[Goron]] soldiers of the [[Forces#Goron Force|Goron Force]]s. They appear as Gorons wearing plated iron armor and thick helmets. As with the rest of the Goron Forces, they are allied with and appear to the aid of the Hyrulean Forces in their fight against the Dark Forces. However, in "[[Land of Myth]]", they also appear as enemy Captains under [[Darunia]]'s command.

In "[[The Armies of Ruin]]", a Goron Captain appears to the aid of the Hyrulean Forces in their battle against the Dark Forces. He is attacked by a [[Lizalfos]], but is soon saved by Link. The rescue's efforts open the entrance to a mine tunnel, and the Goron Captain urges that Link take the [[Bomb]]s inside. Later when the Hyrulean Forces summon the [[Great Fairy]] to attack the Dark Forces, one of the Goron Captain's Bombs is taken by the [[Fairy|Fairies]] to turn into a giant Bomb.
====Lizalfos Chieftains====

In "[[The Sheikah Tribesman]]", a Goron Captain again appears to help the Hyrulean Forces, this time by bringing in and operating Bombchus to blow up stone spires so that the Hyrulean Forces may advance. He appears twice throughout the battle.

Lizalfos Chieftains are high ranking Lizalfos soldiers of several Forces. They are among the Captains of the Dark Forces, Ganondorf's Forces, the Monster Forces and Volga's Forces. They also appear as ally Captains in Ganondorf's and Cia's Scenarios.

Someone was twisting our minds!|Darunia|HW}}</ref> They then assist the Hyrulean Forces on their assault against the Dark Forces in "[[The Water Temple]]".
 
In "[[The Dragon of the Caves]]" in the ''Master Quest'' DLC Pack, the Goron Forces keep guard of [[Wizzro]]'s ring. The Goron Captains' panicking draws Cia's curiosity to the ring, and Wizzro is released. The Goron Captains then try to combat Cia by bringing in Bombchus while the Dark Forces are fighting [[Volga]]'s Forces.
 
As enemies, Goron Captains attack by curling up into a ball and charging forward. The attack leaves them vulnerable shortly afterwards, and exposes their Weak Point Gauge.
 
===Lizalfos Chieftains===

'''Lizalfos Chieftains''' are high ranking Lizalfos soldiers of several Forces. They are among the Captains of the Dark Forces, Ganondorf's Forces, the Monster Forces and Volga's Forces. They also appear as ally Captains in Ganondorf's and Cia's Scenarios.


In "[[Ganondorf's Return]]", a Lizalfos leads the Monster Forces occupying the [[Gerudo Desert (Hyrule Warriors)|Gerudo Desert]]. It has the settlement gates closed to barricade Ganondorf's Forces, but later reopens them to avenge its fallen allies after several Keeps are taken. It, along with several [[Aeralfos]], are later fought at the Sacred Grounds Keep. Their defeat summons [[Gohma]] and [[Manhandla]] onto the battlefield.

Captains are high ranking Force soldiers in Hyrule Warriors.[name references needed] Depending on the Force, a Captain may be an ally or an enemy.

Characteristics
