'''Stalfos''' are a very common enemy in the ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda series]]''. The only game they don't appear in is ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. They appear as large skeletal figures, and are usually fairly difficult to kill. Sometimes they are weaponless, and sometimes they wield large swords and shields (with the exception of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', where they wield large spiked clubs). Stalfos are usually found in dungeons.

The original appearance of the Stalfos is probably actually the easiest version to defeat as well. They are found right away in [[Level 1: The Eagle|Level 1]], they deal a half a heart of damage, and only take a few slashes to defeat. They wield two swords and often have keys embedded into their ribcage.{{Ref|[http://www.zeldadungeon.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album{{=}}537&pid{{=}}14997#top_display_media The Legend of Zelda Instruction Manual] (US GBA Version), pg. 26|These skeleton soldier will come at you with two-handed sword.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', Stalfos are skeletons who have a sword, shield, and minor armor, much like they did in ''Ocarina of Time''. They can be found in the [[Arbiter Grounds]]. In order to take them out, Link must first defeat them in a sword fight, then bomb their remains that they crumble into once he has hit them enough times. One good strategy for taking out multiple Stalfos simultaneously is to simply to fire bomb arrows at them from afar, as it will instantly kill them. Alternatively, Link can strike these enemies with the [[Ball and Chain]] to instantly kill them.
