Iron Knuckles are "iron warriors" chosen by the [[King of Hyrule|King of Hyrule]].<ref>{{Cite Manual|quote= An iron warrior chosen by the king. A strong enemy who can use a shield and sword. He exists in many forms.|game= TAoL|page= }}</ref> They appear throughout many [[Palace]]s 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.<ref>{{Cite Guide|quote= The knives Ironknuckle throws are deadly, and the huge horse he rides makes him invincible to Link's attack. Link can make him dismount by jumping and using Down-thrust. Once afoot, Ironknuckle is vulnerable.|game= TLoZ|guide= NES Game Atlas|page= 69}}</ref> [[Link]] can defeat Iron Knuckles by hitting them enough times with his [[Magical Sword]].<!--How many?--> 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."<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.

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.

{{Plural|CoH|Iron Knuckle}} make appearances as enemies in {{CoH}} 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 {{Term|CoH|Cadence|link}}, {{Term|CoH|Link|link}}, {{Term|CoH|Yves|link}}, or {{Term|CoH|Princess Zelda|link}} 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 {{Plural|CoH|Bomb|link}}, {{Plural|CoH|Bombchu|link}}, arrows fired from the {{Term|CoH|Great Bow|link}}, the legendary {{Term|CoH|Fragarach|link}} sword, or use any {{Term|CoH|Weapon|link}} while the {{Term|CoH|Ring of Piercing|link}} is equipped.
