TP Help Please

I am trying to do the "Cave Of Ordeals" and I'm having a problem with the "Darknuts". Is there a certain way to kill them? I've tried following the guide I have but, it seems almost impossibe to kill them. I've even tried the "mortal draw" but it wasn't mortal lol. I have read some comments about how easy the enemies in this game are but, I don't find these easy at all.
I would appreciate any suggestions... Thanks

You need to use the Helm Splitter and Back Slice to penetrate their armor.

I would recommend waiting until after you beat the game to try to play the Cave of Ordeals, because as you probably already know, it's no cakewalk, especially the Darknuts. You need to use, like Avenged said, the Helm Splitter and Back Slice against them. The Mortal Draw regrettably won't do anything to them because of their armor.

My thanks to both of you... do you think the magic armour would help?

[Shadow Goris]

If you have a lot of rupees then yes. I wouldn't have survived the cave with out the magic armour! Btw linkman8, cakewalk?

Thanks Shadow Goris, I've been playing Zelda since the original LOZ and I've never had an enemy frustrate me the way the "Darknuts" have. Anyone who doubts that playing video games keeps you young should have seen me yelling curses at the TV while trying to get past them. It didn't help that I had made it through 38 of the rooms and had to start all over after I died. I don't think my 1 year old grandson could have thrown a better tantrum lol.

You need to make sure youre stocked with potions/fairies/etc, bombs, arrows, and have full hearts before entering. Plus a lot the items needed to complete the cave are obtained from later temples, so you need to either complete the game or get close to completion before attempting the defeat the Cave of Ordeals.

Sometime you can dig up hearts as a wolf, so make sure you try that.

Also, i see that using link's sword is easier than fighting with wolf link. Might help :/

I've just started the "Palace Of Twilight" and I've got all four bottles (which I had filled with blue potion), I didn't even have to use any potion until I got to the "Freezards". You can't get close enough to kill them without getting caught in the "ice breath". I'll probably at least finish this temple, maybe even try to beat the game, before I try tackling the "Cave" again. It has me really frustrated right now.It wouldn't be so bad if the fairies renewed your life instead of just giving you fairies at the springs and you didn't have to start at the beginning every time.
I really appreciate all the help, that's one reason I like this site so much, people are willing to help and are nice about it.

No problem, and good luck with the Cave in the future.

Btw linkman8, cakewalk?
Yes. :)
