Even Link's weak [[Fighter's Shield]] will be able to fend off basic arrow attacks from these archers. If Link does get it, whether it be from an arrow or simply by running into an archer, 1/2 heart of damage will be done. Three sword slashes with the Fighter's Sword will do this enemy in. Blue archers often leave behind [[Arrow]]s as a reward for defeating them.
