Stalfos

STALFOS

Whether you’ve explored the full overworld or not, eventually the player will have to plunge into the eight dungeons scattered throughout the map. Inside they will discover even more enemies and challenges, including hordes of reanimated skeletons who tend to come back to life if you take too long slaying their friends.

These are the Stalfos, or at least, Stalfos is the most common name of the enemy type. Many games will include slightly smaller versions called Stalchildren, and games like Breath of the Wild will include variants for all the various enemies. Strictly speaking though, we’ll be mostly focused on the core Stalfos design.

In game, they will be tough and nimble warriors generally able to go toe-to-toe with Link in a one-on-one fight. They’ll be armed with swords and shields, and their movesets will pull from all their game appearances and the abilities of their multiple variants.

Likelihood rating: Could happen.
