====Soldier (Gold)====
====Soldier (Gold)====
The Gold Soldiers are Soldiers that have not yet been taken over by [[Agahnim]]'s magic. They have no weapons, but wield huge [[Shield]]s. These are the very first Soldiers that Link encounters in his quest, located on the outskirts of [[Hyrule Castle (A Link to the Past)|Hyrule Castle]]. They prevent Link from accessing much of the Overworld, and their primary purpose is to offer Link advice. They will tell Link how to use his [[Map]], how to swing his [[Sword]], and how to do other basic functions.

===Ocarina of Time===
===''Ocarina of Time''===
Soldiers make an appearance in various parts of the world of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. They guard [[Hyrule Castle Town]], [[Hyrule Castle]], and parts of [[Kakariko Village]]. They are most abundantly found protecting the garden entrance to [[Hyrule Castle]]. While most guards will happily partake in conversation with Link, the guards in the Castle Garden will immediately kick Link out if they spot him. Link is able to strategically sneak by the guards due to their poor line of sight. Once Link enters Hyrule Castle, he will have to sneak by the guards or will be kicked out of the Castle.

Line 27: Line 26:
When Link becomes an adult, there are no soldiers to be found at all, presumably because they have all been killed when [[Ganon]]dorf rose to power. The lone Poe Collector from the guard house is implied to be the same guard who patrolled the [[Guard House]] near the entrance of Hyrule Castle Town.
