'''Armos''', or '''Armos Statues''', are recurring enemies in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. They are living statues that come to life upon contact and appear in every game in the series except ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords|Four Swords]]''. | '''Armos''', or '''Armos Statues''', are recurring enemies in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]].{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Encyclopedia]]'', pg. 163}} They are living statues that come to life upon contact and appear in every game in the series except ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords|Four Swords]]''. | ||

Armos appear as brown, rounded monstrous statues with a pair of orange curved horns and a smaller pair of short black horns on their head, a pair of red eyes, a wide nose and a patch of grey stone with a zigzag-esque pattern running through on its face, a grey, segmented column-like body and a pair of hands wielding a sword and an orange shield. Found within [[Dodongo's Cavern]] and the [[Spirit Temple]], they sit completely still until [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] touches them, at which point they come to life and start chasing Link. If not defeated fast enough, they will return to their original position and revert into a statue. Upon defeat, they will flash red and jump around before exploding. Making contact with them or being caught in their explosion will deal a half heart of damage. To defeat them, Link must use bombs, [[Deku Nut]]s or, as an Adult, the [[Megaton Hammer]]. | Armos appear as brown, rounded monstrous statues with a pair of orange curved horns and a smaller pair of short black horns on their head, a pair of red eyes, a wide nose and a patch of grey stone with a zigzag-esque pattern running through on its face, a grey, segmented column-like body and a pair of hands wielding a sword and an orange shield.

There are statues that resemble an inactive Armos that don't come alive upon contact and are often used for puzzles where they are to be pushed or pulled onto a floor switch. In the Spirit Temple, there is a particular puzzle where Link will need to trigger a live Armos to step over a floor switch to open a doorway. | There are statues that resemble an inactive Armos that don't come alive upon contact and are often used for puzzles where they are to be pushed or pulled onto a floor switch.

Like other games, Armos come to life by touch, but one difference is that there are two types of them: red and blue. The red ones only come to life when [[Link (Oracle Series)|Link]] activates a switch. They then move around the room. The three ways to defeat them are to place a bomb next to them (which can be difficult), hit them with the Magic Boomerang twice, or simply hit them with [[Biggoron's Sword]], which can only be found with a secret. The blue ones can be harder to defeat because they move really fast and also because they activate whenever Link walks past them. To defeat them, Link must either slash them with the sword three times or by blowing up bombs nearby twice. Both of them can take a single heart away if they touch Link. | Like other games, Armos come to life by touch, but one difference is that there are two types of them: red and blue.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', Armos work mostly the same way as usual. Instead of bombs, its weakness is a crystal on its back. It can be easier for [[Link (The Wind Waker)|Link]] to attack this weak point once it is stunned in the eye by an arrow. When they are defeated, they jump around like crazy with no direction as a last resort before exploding. | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', Armos work mostly the same way as usual.

[[File:Armos-Screen-Large.jpg|right|thumb|Link fighting an Armos]] Armos are statues found in various areas throughout the [[Lanayru Province]]. To defeat them, [[Link (Skyward Sword)|Link]] must use the Gust Bellows to spin the colored screw on top of their head, opening their mouth. From here, Link can slash the crystal inside their mouth, or place a bomb inside to kill them. | [[File:Armos-Screen-Large.jpg|right|thumb|[[Link (Skyward Sword)|Link]] fighting an Armos]] Armos are statues found in various areas throughout the [[Lanayru Province]].
