Stalfos (A Link to the Past)
Stalfos are enemies that come in multiple variations and colors within A Link to the Past. They all share the same boney characteristics as other Stalfos from other Legend of Zelda titles.
Blue Stalfos
Blue Stalfos first appear within the Eastern Palace. They are the most fundamental of the Stalfos family and provide very little harm to Link. They quickly move around the ground, wandering back and forth in no particular order. If Link draws near and swipes at them with his sword, the Stalfos will jump back to avoid the attack. In order to harm them, Link must attack from up close, so the attack hits before the Stalfos can jump away. Alternatively, Link can corner a stalfos by backing it into a wall before slashing at it.
It will take two strikes with Link's Fighter's Sword to defeat this creature. Alternatively, Link can toss his Boomerang at a Stalfos and can defeat it with four strikes. If Link sprinkles Magic Powder on a Blue Stalfos, it will transform into a Slime enemy.
