Enemy Details Stalfos Knight


The data below is what's found in the game's code. Sometimes a metadata entry concerns multiple enemies, and certain variables are then rewritten when the enemy is loaded by the game. This is taken into account in the statistics below. On the other hand, some enemies have particular behaviors that are hardcoded and override some of the values below. In such cases, I specify it in the "Notes" box to the best of my knowledge.

The official Japanese name is also given for the enemy when it can be found through an official source. The three main sources I relied on are the game's instruction manual, the official Japanese guide from that era (in its two volumes), the Hyrule Encyclopedia book in its Japanese version, and the game itself (original version). Next to the enemy's number, the name in capital letters is the enemy's code name assigned by the developers in the game's code.

The regional name, on the other hand, is either an official name that appears in an official guide / the English or French game manual, or a name given retroactively because other similar enemies appeared later in the series, or a name given by the speedrun community. If despite all this there is still no existing localization of the name, then I use the Japanese name by default, and if there isn't even an official Japanese name, then it's a brief description.

Stalfos Knight スタルフォン The same name as Stalfos but with an "n" ending to make it sound more dangerous.
Description A warrior version of the Stalfos equipped with a sword and shield. It leaps across the room to try and attack Link. To defeat it, Link must first strike it to make it collapse into a pile of bones, and then finish it off with a bomb.
Additional Information The Stalfos Knight takes no damage until it is in the form of a pile of bones. Once it transforms into a pile of bones, the damage dealt by bombs increases from 0 HP to 64 HP (which one-shots it). Also, this data does not change for each enemy instance, but for each enemy type, meaning that if another Stalfos Knight is present next to a Stalfos Knight in bone pile form, it will also be vulnerable to bombs even if it has not been hit by Link.

Does a weapon appear in multiple classes?

In the table above, you can see the Master Sword (level 2 sword) appearing in the rows corresponding to classes 1, 2, and 3. This doesn't mean that the Master Sword will deal random damage determined by these three classes, but rather it's the type of attack you perform with this weapon that will determine the damage it inflicts. If you hover over the name of one of the classes, a tooltip will show you the list of attacks associated with that class.
