Guardian | {{Plural|BotW|Guardian Stalker}} are a type of {{Term|BotW|Guardian|link}} found throughout [[Hyrule]], most commonly in the area surrounding {{Term|BotW|Hyrule Castle|link}}. They were built by the ancient {{Term|BotW|Sheikah|link}} to be used as a powerful weapon against {{Term|BotW|Calamity Ganon|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|The Sheikah of ancient Hyrule developed this as a weapon to combat Ganon.|Hyrule Compendium|BotW}}</ref> During the events of {{BotW|-}}, they are an enemy to {{Term|BotW|Link|link}} under Calamity Ganon's influence. {{Plural|BotW|Guardian Stalker}} have 1500 health and can fire powerful blue laser beams from their eye that can deal up to 58 points of damage. If a target is too close to them, they will attempt to distance themselves in order to fire their lasers; otherwise, they will relentlessly pursue the target until they lose track of it. Sometimes when firing their lasers, they will fire in rapid succession if their health is low enough and {{Term|BotW|Link}} has not moved too far from when they fired their last laser. These rapid lasers will stop if {{Term|BotW|Link}} gets hit too far from their last firing point, if {{Term|BotW|Link}} is no longer within their range, or at a random stopping point. | ||
===Drops=== | |||
{{Term|BotW|Link}} can inflict 500 damage to {{Plural|BotW|Guardian Stalker}} by deflecting their lasers back at their eye with a [[Perfect Guard]], mainly known as a parry. When defeated, they may drop any combination of {{Plural|BotW|Ancient Material|link}}. {{Term|BotW|Link}} can cut off the legs of a {{Term|BotW|Guardian Stalker}}, which temporarily stuns them and results in {{Plural|BotW|Ancient Material}} being dropped. This can also topple them, rendering them helpless. However, a disarmed {{Term|BotW|Guardian Stalker}} will attempt to recover its footing and distance itself from {{Term|BotW|Link}} while attacking, making it difficult to land further hits. If {{Term|BotW|Link}} hits a {{Term|BotW|Guardian Stalker}} in it's eye using a bow, it will temporarily stun it in a similar fashion that cutting off it's legs would do. Sometimes when doing this, the {{Term|BotW|Guardian Stalker}} may move sideways in order to mess up Link's aim. Using [[Stasis|Stasis +]] on a charging up {{Term|BotW|Guardian Stalker}} will stun them afterwards, even if not hit during stasis. | |||
{{BotWDropTable | |||
| | In {{Term|BotW|Master Mode|link}}, {{Plural|BotW|Guardian Stalker}} will sometimes take slightly longer in their charge up phase before firing their laser to throw off Link's timing. | ||

{{ | {{Plural|BotW|Guardian Stalker}} retroactively debut in {{HWAoC|-}}, running roughshod over {{Term|HWAoC|Hyrule}}, just as they did in {{BotW|-}}. One is prematurely recruited by Ganon's Malice in order to kill Zelda before she can awaken her powers in [[Road to the Ancient Lab]]. Later in the game, they are properly faced as enemies after Ganon awakens on Zelda's 17th birthday and recruits them to his army. In gameplay, they attack the same way as in {{BotW|-}} with a few new attacks, such as slamming down into the ground and spinning their bodies. In addition, Fire, Ice, Electric, and Malice variants make their debut as stronger variants. | ||
In addition to the enemy {{Plural|BotW|Guardian Stalker}} appearing in the game, the DLC Pack [[Pulse of the Ancients]] includes a playable {{Term|BotW|Guardian Stalker}} under the name of [[Battle-Tested Guardian]], a nearly decayed {{Term|BotW|Guardian Stalker}} free of Calamity Ganon's influence (indicated by its yellow body lights in place of the purple ones and a brighter blue light for its eye) where one of its attacks featured is the signature optic laser beam which it can hold and sweep across a wide range. | |||
