Soldiers, also known as Hylian Soldiers or Hyrulean Soldiers, are a recurring group of warriors in the Zelda series. They appear mostly in [[Hyrule]] and serve the [[Royal Family of Hyrule]] by protecting them and their citizens. They also appear, however, in others lands such as [[Termina]] and [[Labrynna]]. In some games, they are known to be scarred or dumb. For example in Twilight Princess, when you are a wolf, when you attack they scream and run away.

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]]. 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.

Soldiers make in appearance in various parts of the world of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. They are most prominently seen guarding the garden entrance to [[Hyrule Castle]].  Various units are positioned in [[Castle Town]] as well.

The Hylian Soldiers in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' are the cowardly soldiers that can be found in [[Hyrule Castle]]. When you scare a group of them as a wolf, they sometimes lose hearts, rupees, or arrows.  

The Soldiers in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]'' can be found predominately in and around [[Hyrule Castle]]. Various soldiers can be found performing different tasks, from guarding the Castle itself, guarding Princess Zelda, or practicing attacks against scarecrows.  

The soldiers help out by fighting. At the start of the game, Link is fighting one for training.
