Link first faces off against a Darknut in the mini-boss battle in the Temple of Time. From there, Link will encounter Darknuts as regular enemies from time to time. When battling one, look for openings in its defense and attack it with the sword. It is recommended that Link uses many of the different Hidden Skills as they are quite useful in battles against a Darknut. When facing multiple Darknuts at once, attempt to tackle them one at a time. (See the Mini-Boss Guide on Darknuts for more details). Darknut also appears in the [[Hyrule Castle (Twilight Princess)|Hyrule Castle]] and [[Cave of Ordeals]].

When battling one, look for openings in its defense and attack it with the sword. It uses its massive sword to attack, but this can be blocked with the shield. The back slice works well against the Darknut but even that will be blocked quite often. The best bet is to hold out a shield and keep side jumping, at which point he can be hit with the sword. The shield attack and helm splitter if the attacks pop-up. Each time a Darknut is hit a piece of armor will fall off of him. After several hits, all his armor will be removed and he'll toss away his massive sword and pull out a more traditional blade.

In the second phase of the battle Link can simply wait for him to attack, dodge its strikes, and then slash at him repeatedly with the sword. Alternatively, using the back slice attack will cause the Darknut to block. Once it blocks the attack, it will be vulnerable for a few seconds at which point Link can slash at him with his sword.
