'''Stalfos''' are a very common enemy in | '''Stalfos''' are a very common enemy in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. The only game they do not 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 defeat. 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. | ||

These skeletal warriors make their return from previous ''Zelda'' titles. Watch out for their jump attack, which can do a great deal more damage to Link than their regular sword attacks. Use Z-targeting to get close while using the Shield, then take a quick stab as soon as Link sees them let their shield down. Try to circle around them when they jump at Link. Also, if Link gets right in their face, he can easily "force them" to attack and get a quick stab in. If done right, Link can take them out very quickly this way. They are found in the [[Forest Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Forest Temple]], the [[Water Temple]], the [[Shadow Temple]], the [[Spirit Temple]], and in [[Ganon's Castle]]. | These skeletal warriors make their return from previous ''Zelda'' titles.

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. | Many of their sword techniques mimic Link's (i.e. the Jump Attack).

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]]. | A superstition exists with the [[Kokiri]] where if any adult becomes lost in the [[Lost Woods]], they turn into one of these creatures.

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. | 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.
