Bow Soldier

Archers are enemies that appear in A Link to the Past, and are commonly found in the Light World. They hide in the grass and bushes waiting for Link to approach them. When Link comes into their range, they begin to shoot at him. Sometimes they'll be in groups while running back and forth. Run up to them while moving in zigzag patterns to avoid their arrows. Use your sword on them after you get up to them. Another strategy would be to give them a taste of their own medicine by shooting arrows at them. Archers look just like Soldiers but with Bows instead.
