These behemoth warriors clad in armor are quite the force to be reckoned with. Their powerful ax can take a good chunk out of [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]]'s life in a single swing. The best method is to lure them to attack, then rush in and get a hit between strikes. [[Bomb]]s and [[Bombchu]]s can damage them too, but it's harder for the second part of the fight. Halfway through the battle, they lose a layer of armor and run faster, but it also makes them more vulnerable to Link's sword.

If he can time it well, lure them to attack, jump back, and just as they are finishing their attack, use a Jump Attack to deal lots of damage before they can retaliate. Link can also use the [[Deku Stick]] + Jump Attack combo or [[Biggoron's Sword]] to deal with these enemies quickly. If he is having trouble with them, he can use [[Nayru's Love]] to become invincible for a short period of time; unfortunately, they still knock Link over when he gets hit, but he will not lose any life this way.

There are only three Iron Knuckles in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. The first two can be found [[Beneath the Graveyard]], guarding [[Flat]]'s tomb and in a room where [[Link (Ocarina of Time)#Majora's Mask|Link]] battles it. There, Link can learn the [[Song of Storms]]. The third is on the [[Moon]], after Link speaks with the [[Moon Children|Moon Child]] that is wearing [[Twinmold's Remains]]. The Iron Knuckles in this game look and behave almost exactly as they do in ''Ocarina of Time''.

Being Young Link, another way to defeat them is to get right next to one and attack while defending (this doesn't work if you are Z-targeting). When doing this, its horizontal slashes should go right over Link's head; when it swings straight down, just simply take a few steps around it, guard, and keep attacking. Once Link knocks off a piece of its armor and it starts charging at him, just stay where Link is at and keep attacking while defended in its direction (he should hit it right as it goes to attack). The [[Bunny Hood]] is recommended, but not necessary.
