Darknut

Darknuts are common enemies from The Legend of Zelda series. They are generally heavily armoured knights that appear in later, harder dungeons in the games. In more recent titles such as The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess they begin with lots of armour and heavy swords and shields. When attacked from the front they will block all damage Link attempts to inflict. The attacks are also one of the most powerful and often knock away 2 or 3 hearts for each hit. The always have a weak spot on their backs.
