The original appearance of the Stalfos is probably actually the easiest version to defeat as well.

A change to the usual Stalfos, the type that appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'' wields no sword and prefer to jump or throwing bone-like projectile at Link. They come in two variants: A Green Stalfos and Orange Stalfos.

Many of their sword techniques mimic Link's (i.e. the Jump Attack). This enemy can be prevented from jumping at Link with a sword slash by keeping the Shield up, holding Z and keeping as close to it as possible because it may jump and mid-air slash at Link if he is too far away.

A superstition exists with the [[Kokiri]] where if any adult becomes lost in the [[Lost Woods]], they turn into one of these creatures. This supposedly happens to [[Grog]] in the [[Ocarina of Time Trading Sequence|Trading Sequence]] when [[Fado (Ocarina of Time)|Fado]] gives Link the [[Poacher's Saw]].

The Stalfos in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'' are skeleton-like enemies that wield two large swords which they use both to block and to attack. Link must attack from specific directions that are unprotected, requiring good timing and accurate sword slashes.

These skeleton creatures wield two swords and will try to walk right up to Link, and slash at him with them. The attacks are incredibly slow and are very weak, making the Stalfos one of simplest enemies to defeat in the game. While they don't really travel in packs too often, they do tend to re-spawn. Link jusdt need to slash his sword once at the Stalfos and it will be defeated. Stalfos will almost always leave a single red [[Rupee|ruby]] behind as a reward. They can be found in Goronu and Lupay.
