Talk:Darknut

Will someone please shrink the picture on the right side it is too big and also please post how to do so on the Help:Editing page. Cloakblade 19:48, 12 July 2007 (PDT)

Its at 260 px now. Do you want it shrunk more? --TheWallflower 09:43, 19 September 2007 (EDT)


 * My fault, I should have posted a reply. I already shrunk it from full size to 260px a while back :) --Adam 14:00, 19 September 2007 (EDT)

Effective weapons
Shouldn't a mace be added for multiple times within the Twilight princess, and yes there is a mighty darknut at the bottom of the cave of ordeals.

By effective weapons it means that these are weapons that are effective at helping one defeat that certain enemy, not what weapons that enemy uses effectively.--Green 01:03, 7 January 2008 (EST)

Just Checking
Is this correctly said: "They will also perform the great spin attack if they see you charging said attack ." I'm not sure. It's under here. Master Storm 02:28, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Aye, 'tis. "Said attack" refers to the Great Spin. So if you charge it, they'll be like "I don't think so, punk" and use it themselves. 02:34, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much. Master Storm 02:39, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Since this question falls into the same category I'll put it here, rather than start an new topic:


 * "where Bellum takes control of Linebeck, has a very striking resemblance to the Darknuts in other games, mostly to those in Twilight Princess."

Is that supposed to be Windwaker? The twilight princess darknuts don't really look all that similar to Bellum's final form. The winwaker ones IMHO are closer, but the phantoms could go either way. Just checking that it isn't a typo. Technically its subjective anyway...--Magnus orion 02:51, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Twilight Princess
Was wondering if there was any official source that said the ones in TP were Darknuts, because the japanese wiki seems to state that they're called Darknuckles... Nook 23:02, 20 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Not sure there really is one, but I have the official Nintendo guide for TP, and it calls them Darknuts. 19:45, 20 August 2008 (EST)

Japanese name is TÂTONAKKU, compare to Iron Knuckle, which is AIAN'NAKKU TheManInTheMoon 01:51, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

It says in the article that the final Darknut you face before Ganondorf is blue, but the one directly in front of the boss door is gold. There is a blue one in the room with the stairs activated by the torches though. Unless I have some sort of strange copy... NintenJoe231 15:51, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

I noticed the same thing. It looked definitively golden to me and it was definately not blue at all. I even checked it out with the hawkeye from a distance and it's not blue. So where that came from is beyond me. Ragnarok 00:12, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Why douse anyone not resolve this issue and fix it! GFlame September the 22nd 2010

Sword Resembalance
The Darknuts Big Sword, GREATLY resembles that of Ganons sword, from the Gamecube graphics demo video. I think his could be added to a trivia section. Nicktheslayer 03:25, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Wow I just checked it out here. That should definitely be added. I'll ask around to see if anyone has a clean screenshot for comparision. 00:11, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Darknut Sword Types
Particularly pertaining to later enemy designs, like those from Wind Waker and Twilight Princess in specific. I know that the Wind Waker enemy wields a weapon that is more like a cross between a flamberge and a broadsword if not anything else. However, looking at the blade design that is used for the Twilight Princess enemy, I cannot identify it or relate it with any sword type that has appeared historically. For those who aren't clear about what I'm talking about, it's the sword that the first one encountered uses initially--characterized by a long, straight blade, which widens at a sharp angle at the end forming two jagged points, then being joined at the tip by a sharpened arc.

Any suggestions on the matter would not go unappreciated. --Gyridion 21:11, 12 January 2011 (EST)

Similarities to Phantoms?
Anyone else think that these look similar to Phantoms? (The Darknuts in Wind Waker, I mean!) http://www.zeldawiki.org/Phantom ...Is it actually worth mentioning the similarity, or is it due to the style of the game...?
 * It wouldn't be too far off to assume that the Phantoms were based on TWW Darknuts, but I think it's mostly just the style of the game. Phantoms just look like generic soldier armor.
 * And you can link to pages on this site by surrounding the name with brackets. For example: Phantom becomes Phantom. 19:55, 31 March 2012 (EDT)

Game by Game
Does anyone think the article could be written so as to go game by game? Delsait (talk) 06:36, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
 * It should be, that's the reason why it has the reorganization template. 06:41, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Anyone mind if I start? If there's already a sandbox, let me know. Delsait (talk) 07:52, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

Darknut Article Split/Consolidation
So I haven't looked at specifically the Darknut page in awhile, but I'm really curious and confused as to why all these Darknut variations have been split up over upwards of seven pages. Before we had all the various color variations and the Mighty Darknuts covered under this single page, but now they're split up all over the place. I would be able to understand organizational purposes if each of the Darknut variations were as different as each of the -blin types (Stal-bokos to plain Boko or Moblins), but it's more like comparing a Green Bokoblin to a Red Bokoblin and now there's 7 or 8 more pages that look really unnecessary, especially when you go into one (the Green Darknut for example) and it's completely threadbare because there's not enough information on each individual Darknut to fill a full page. It looks especially silly when I can go to the Red Darknut page and the Mighty Darknut page and see pictures of them, and aside from their helmets and knowing which eras they come from, they look virtually identical. I can see that Zelda Enclyclopedia is being referenced to distinguish between the different variations, but even then, I don't understand why it couldn't just be referred to for each of them on this article.

To me, it seems like a lot more work to find out very little more on something that seems like it should all be on the same page- which it used to be. Naside (talk) 02:29, 5 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Different variations of enemies are split from each other by policy. The solution to this problem you've described is to flesh out the pages further, not to merge them back into one mediocre page. Splitting them into their own pages is just the first step. TriforceTony (talk) 02:54, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

Need help on Minish Cap entry
I'm adding The Minish Cap to the list of games they appear in. I need a little help classifying them, though. Except for the miniboss-type Red Dark Nut, the other variations are all simply called Dark Nut according to their in-game Figurine. I'm new to the citation system here, so if anyone could assist with getting that sorted out I'd appreciate it. --Otakuunitedstudio (talk) 14:01, 4 December 2019 (UTC)


 * The basic NaN Darknuts in are now called NaN Silver Darknuts, while the others are NaN Red Darknuts and the TMC:. TriforceTony (talk) 01:14, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
