Darknut

The Legend of Zelda

Darknuts appeared in the original Legend of Zelda in two variations. The two forms were identical other than the Blue Darknut took additional hits to defeat. These enemies were often times found within groups of 3 or more, making them tough to defeat in constricted areas.

The Minish Cap

Darknuts are some of the toughest enemies Link faces in Minish Cap. The black versions have the most health and use a 'tornado thrust' attack in which they stab forwards whilst unleashing a powerful rotary energy in their sword.

Twilight Princess

Enemy: Darknut
Attacks: Axe (one heart); Sword (half-heart)
Found: Temple of Time; Hyrule Castle cave if ordeals
Description: Link first faces off against a Darknut in the Mini Boss battle in the Temple of Time. From there, you will encounter Darknuts as regular enemies from time to time. When battling one, look for openings in its defense and attack it with your sword. It is recommended that you use many of the different Hidden Skills as they are quite useful in battles against a Darknut. When facing multiple Darknuts at once, attempt to tackle them one at a time. (See the Mini Boss Guide on Darknuts for more details.)
