Darknuts (タートナック,Tartnuc) areenemies fromthe Legend of Zelda series.
Origin[edit]
Darknuts made their debut inThe Legend of Zelda as a common enemy, and has become a recurring enemy in laterZelda games. They are large knights who wear armor and carry around a large sword and a large shield.
Darknuts are known for their status as minibosses inThe Legend of Zelda series. InThe Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker and in laterZelda games, they use advance swordfighting techniques while their heavy armor gives them heightened defense. During their miniboss battle, if the player attacks the Darknut enough times, they will lose their defensive armor, but will become faster and more agile in the process.
InSuper Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]
TheTwilight Princess version of the Darknut appears as a collectible trophy, while theWind Waker version of the Darknut appears as a sticker.
Despite it's major appearances inThe Legend of Zelda series, the Darknut trophy only referencesTwilight Princess.

InSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS[edit]
InSmash Run[edit]
Darknuts appear as enemies. Their design is based on their appearance inTwilight Princess. Darknuts attack by swinging their large sword, which does heavy damage and knockback, and their shields are areflector.
Darknut's armor slows down their speed, but they are highly resistant toflinching. Their armor can be removed by dealing enough damage to them, but their move speed becomes quicker, but their flinching resistance is reduced: weaker attacks barely cause them to flinch, but stronger attacks can interrupt their movements. Also, Darknuts without their armor will respond by throwing their sword before switching to a slightly smaller sword. Defeating them earns the player's fighter large stat bonuses.
Trophy[edit]
- Darknut
These heavily armored, bulky enemies often seen in the Legend of Zelda series are slow but powerful and can use their swords to block attacks and projectiles. When you're faced with one, you'll need to slowly cut away its armor. Once it's gone, the Darknut will become more agile, but it'll also be more vulnerable!
