In addition to [[Archer]]s and [[Knight (Enemy)|Knights]], there are a variety of color variations and types of Soldiers in ''A Link to the Past''. The weakest of these enemies are the mindless [[Soldier (Enemy)|Green Soldiers]] that will patrol back and forth without making an attempt to attack Link. There are also the more aggressive [[Sword Soldier]]s that will charge towards Link as soon as they spot him.

The Gold Soldiers are not actual enemies, but they 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]]. 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.
