Iron Knuckles, hulking armored knights, first appear in ''The Adventure of Link'' as guardians of [[Dungeon|Palaces]]. They are skilled with sword and shield, attacking [[Link]] relentlessly. Each variety from Orange to Red to Blue are more adept than the last, more adroitly blocking Link's attacks, countering, and absorbing more damage. Blue Iron Knuckles gain the additional ability to fire sword beams as Link does, requiring each of the knight's flurry of attacks to be blocked.

[[Rebonack]], the [[Boss]] of the [[Maze Island Palace]] and miniboss of the [[Hidden Palace]], confronts Link mounted on a horse. Once forced to dismount, Rebonack fights as a Blue Iron Knuckle.

These behemoth warriors clad in armor are quite the force to be reckoned with. Their powerful ax can take a good chunk out of your life in a single swing. The best method is to lure them to attack, then rush in and get a hit between strikes. [[Bomb]]s and [[Bombchu]]s can damage them too, but it's harder for the second part of the fight. Halfway through the battle, they lose a layer of armor and run faster, but it also makes them more vulnerable to your sword.

If you can time it well, lure them to attack, jump back, and just as they are finishing their attack, use a Jump Attack to deal lots of damage before they can retaliate. Use the [[Deku Stick]] + Jump Attack combo or the [[Biggoron's Sword]] to deal with these enemies quickly. If you're having trouble with them, use [[Nayru's Love]] to become invincible for a short period of time; unfortunately they still knock you over when you get hit, but you will not lose any life this way.

There are only two Iron Knuckles in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. The first can be found [[Beneath the Graveyard]], guarding [[Flat]]'s tomb. There, Link can learn the [[Song of Storms]]. The second is on the [[Moon]], after Link speaks with the [[Moon Children|Moon Child]] that is wearing [[Twinmold's Remains]]. The Iron Knuckles in this game look and behave almost exactly as they do in ''Ocarina of Time'',

Being Young Link, another way to defeat them is to get right next to one and attack while defending (doesn't work if Z-targeting). when doing this, it's horizontal slashes should go right over Link's head; when it swings straight down, just simply take a few steps around it, guard, and keep attacking. Once you knock off a piece of it's armor and it starts charging at you, just stay where you're at and keep attacking while defended in it's direction (you should hit it right as it goes to attack). The [[Bunny Hood]] is recommended, but not necessary.
