The Gold Soldiers are Soldiers that have not yet been taken over by [[Agahnim]]'s magic. They have no weapons, but wield huge [[Shield]]s. These are the very first Soldiers that Link encounters in his quest, located on the outskirts of [[Hyrule Castle (A Link to the Past)|Hyrule Castle]]. They prevent Link from accessing much of the Overworld, and their primary purpose is to offer Link advice. They will tell Link how to use his [[Map]], how to swing his [[Sword]], and how to do other basic functions.


In addition to [[Archer]]s and [[Knight]]s, there are a variety of color variations and types of Soldiers in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]''. The weakest of these enemies are the mindless [[Soldier (Enemy)|Green Soldiers]] that will patrol back and forth without making an attempt to attack Link. There are also the more aggressive [[Sword Soldier]]s that will charge towards Link as soon as they spot him.

Soldiers make an appearance in various parts of the world of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. They guard [[Castle Town|Hyrule Castle Town]], [[Hyrule Castle]], and parts of [[Kakariko Village (Ocarina of Time)|Kakariko Village]]. They are most abundantly found protecting the garden entrance to [[Hyrule Castle]]. While most guards will happily partake in conversation with Link, the guards in the Castle Garden will immediately kick Link out if they spot him. Link is able to strategically sneak by the guards due to their poor line of sight. Once Link enters Hyrule Castle, he will have to sneak by the guards or will be kicked out of the Castle.
