The most effective method to defeat a Ball and Chain Soldier is to throw jars at it. It takes just two jars to defeat one. Link can also incorporate a hit and run tactic. Run to it, hit it, and run before its swinging ball and chain has a chance to hit Link. Ball and Chain Soldiers take several hits, but taking his time with a hit and run tactic is better than all-out-attacking, since it can quickly defeat Link if he does this. | The most effective method to defeat a Ball and Chain Soldier is to throw jars at it.
