They are found right away in [[Level 1: The Eagle|Level 1]]. They deal a half a heart of damage, and only take a few slashes to defeat. They wield two swords and often have keys embedded into their ribcage.{{Ref|[https://www.zeldadungeon.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album{{=}}537&pid{{=}}14997#top_display_media The Legend of Zelda Instruction Manual] (US GBA Version), pg. 26|These skeleton soldiers will come at you with a two-handed sword.

These skeletal warriors make their return from previous ''Zelda'' titles. Watch out for their jump attack, which can do a great deal more damage to Link than their regular sword attacks. Use Z-targeting to get close while using the Shield, then take a quick stab as soon as Link sees them let their shield down. Try to circle around them when they jump at Link. Also, if Link gets right in their face, he can easily "force them" to attack and get a quick stab in. If done right, Link can take them out very quickly this way. They are found in the [[Forest Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Forest Temple]], the [[Water Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Water Temple]], the [[Shadow Temple]], the [[Spirit Temple]], and in [[Ganon's Castle]]. | These skeletal warriors make their return from previous ''Zelda'' titles.

They can be found in the [[Arbiter's Grounds]]. In order to take them out, Link must first defeat them in a sword fight, then bomb their remains that they crumble into once he has hit them enough times. One good strategy for taking out multiple Stalfos simultaneously is to simply to fire Bomb Arrows at them from afar to instantly defeat them. Alternatively, Link can strike these enemies with the [[Ball and Chain]] to instantly defeat them. | ||

These skeleton creatures wield two swords and will try to walk right up to Link, and slash at him with them. The attacks are incredibly slow and are very weak, making the Stalfos one of simplest enemies to defeat in the game. While they don't really travel in packs too often, they do tend to re-spawn. Link just needs to slash his sword once at the Stalfos and it will be defeated. Stalfos will almost always leave a single red [[Rupee|ruby]] behind as a reward. They can be found in Goronu and Lupay. | These skeleton creatures wield two swords and will try to walk right up to Link, and slash at him with them.
