The Soldiers that appear in A Link to the Past come in a lot of different forms. Each of them are slightly different from one another, based on their color and their particular skill sets. In addition to the varieties of Soldiers, there are also several types of Archers and Troopers found throughout A Link to the Past.
Green Soldier
The Green short sworded Soldier is the weakest soldier in A Link to the Past. They are the very first enemies that Link will encounter. After reaching the Hidden Path and finding your Uncle wounded, Link will acquire the Fighter's Sword and Fighter's Shield. On the following screen, Link will encounter two green soldiers.
These somewhat mindless soldiers will patrol back and forth, making no real attempt to harm Link. They will change direction and slowly move in Link's direction, but they do not show nearly the same aggression as other types of Soldiers.
Despite wielding shields, these base soldiers have no defensive mechanism at all and any sword slash that contacts the soldier will do damage. Two sword slashes with the Fighter's Sword will do them in.
Instead of large sword blades or spears like the other soldiers, these foes wield much smaller daggers. The actual daggers that the soldiers wield do no additional damage than any other part of its body. Thus, if Link has his Green Tunic, he will take a 1/2 heart of damage if the dagger hits him, or if Link simply comes into contact with any part of the soldier.
Green Sword Soldier
The Green Soldiers are the most common enemies found in the Light World of A Link to the Past. Unlike standard Green Soldiers, these enemies have a considerable amount of intelligence. They will patrol a particular area back and forth, but if they spot Link or if they hear an unusual sound, then they will charge towards Link.
Despite wielding shields, their actual shields will do nothing in preventing damage from Link's attacks. However, if Link slashes the soldier on its sword side, the sword will deflect the attack and no damage will be done.
Since it can be difficult to get the right angle in attacking these soldiers, Link can use other methods to defeat them. Link can lift up objects such as bushes or pots and toss them at the soldier from a distance. Furthermore, Link can use the Boomerang to stun the enemy before delivering some final blows.
Despite being more aggressive and difficult than standard green soldiers, these enemies have the exact same health and damage capabilities.
Blue Sword Soldier
The Blue Soldier are slightly stronger than the Green Soldier. Besides this they are exactly the same.
Trivia
All soldiers will wield their swords in their right hand. However, when they turn and face the west side of the screen, they will then be wielding their sword with their left hand. This is likely due to the top-down graphical display limitations.
