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 Shields. These are the very first Soldiers that Link encounters in his quest, located on the outskirts of 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

Soldiers make an appearance in various parts of the world of Ocarina of Time. They are most prominently seen guarding the garden entrance to Hyrule Castle. Various units are positioned in Castle Town as well.

Twilight Princess

Main article: Hylian Soldiers

The Hylian Soldiers in Twilight Princess are the cowardly Soldiers that can be found in Hyrule Castle. When Link scares a group of them as a Wolf, they sometimes lose Hearts, Rupees, or Arrows. These Soldiers are cowardly and either scream or run away if Link scares them.

Spirit Tracks

The guards in Spirit Tracks can be found near Hyrule Castle where they wear green tunics. The leader of the group is the Guard Captain Russell who will give Link the Recruit's Sword after he properly trains with him. The rest of the group consists of the veteran Castle Guards, as well as the new Recruits.

A Link Between Worlds

The Soldiers in A Link Between Worlds can be found predominantly in and around Hyrule Castle. Various Soldiers can be found performing different tasks, from guarding the Castle itself, guarding Princess Zelda, or practicing attacks against scarecrows.

After Yuga takes control of Hyrule Castle, the Soldiers are transformed into enemies by his magic.

Two Soldiers can also be found throughout the game in Kakariko Village; one patrolling the Village and another resting at the Milk Bar.

Hyrule Warriors

The Soldiers help out by fighting. At the start of the game, Link is fighting one for training.
