If Link touches one from the front, he will immediately take half a heart of damage. They take three hits from the [[Sword (The Legend of Zelda)|original Sword]], two hits from the [[White Sword]] or one hit from the [[Magical Sword]] to be defeated. One bomb will also destroy them, and they are also vulnerable to arrows, the [[Candle]] and the [[Magical Rod]]. | ||

They look like normal statues until Link makes contact with them, after which they will hop after Link. A good few hits from the sword should take care of them, but it is still preferred to remain cautious with them. These enemies are similar to the six [[Armos Knight (A Link to the Past)|Armos Knights]] that Link will fight in the Eastern Palace. | ||

Armos | Armos appear as brown, rounded monstrous statues with a pair of orange curved horns and a smaller pair of short black horns on their head, a pair of red eyes, a wide nose and a patch of grey stone with a zigzag-esque pattern running through on its face, a grey, segmented column-like body and a pair of hands wielding a sword and an orange shield. Found within [[Dodongo's Cavern]] and the [[Spirit Temple]], they sit completely still until Link touches them, at which point they come to life and start chasing Link. If not defeated fast enough, they will return to their original position and revert into a statue. Upon defeat, they will flash red and jump around before exploding. Making contact with them or being caught in their explosion will deal a half heart of damage. To defeat them, Link must use bombs, [[Deku Nut]]s or, as an Adult, the [[Megaton Hammer]]. | ||
There are | There are statues that resemble an inactive Armos that don't come alive upon contact and are often used for puzzles where they are to be pushed or pulled onto a floor switch. In the Spirit Temple, there is a particular puzzle where Link will need to trigger a live Armos to step over a floor switch to open a doorway. | ||

Found in the [[Temple of Time (Dungeon)|Temple of Time]] and the [[Cave of Ordeals]], Armos will sit completely still until Link approaches them, at which point they come to life and jump around while swinging their hammers. The crystal on their back is their only weak point. Link can use the [[Hidden Skills#Back Slice|Back Slice]] or smash them with the [[Ancient Statue]]'s hammer while one is controlled with the [[Dominion Rod]]. Three shots to the back from a [[Clawshot]] will also take one down. Upon defeat, they will jump around swinging their hammer wildly before exploding.Being hit by their hammer takes away half a heart. | |||
