Iron Knuckles are "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. A strong enemy who can use a shield and sword. He exists in many forms.|game= AoL|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 book|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.|book= NES Game Atlas|publisher= Nintendo|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 book|quote= THE GUARDIAN IRONKNUCKLE|book= NES Game Atlas|publisher= Nintendo|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.
