Stalfos are a very common enemy in the 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 as well. They are found right away in 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.

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 you than their regular sword attacks. Use Z targeting to get close while using your shield, then take a quick stab as soon as you see them let their shield down. Try to circle around them when they jump at you. Also, if you get right in their face, you can easily "force them" to attack and get a quick stab in. If done right, you 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 Stalfos that appear in ''The Wind Waker'' are large, skeletal enemies and they are probably larger in The Wind Waker than they are in any other Zelda title. To defeat a Stalfos you can hit them with your sword to break their bodies into bones, then slash away at the bouncing skull. An easier way to kill a Stalfos in The Wind Waker is to use a bomb to quickly demolish their bodies, then stun the bouncing skull with the Boomerang and then finally finish it with the Skull Hammer.
