Armored Train

Armored Trains are enemies from The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. They are stronger versions of Dark Trains. Armored Trains display greater intelligence, and directly pursue Link, rather than travelling along patrol paths. They are also capable of turning around at any time. Armored Trains can be momentarily stunned by cannonballs but cannot be defeated in this fashion.

Armored Trains first appear in the Ocean Realm, on the underwater tracks leading to the Ocean Temple. A lone Armored Train attempts to pursue Link and must be outwitted in order to reach the Ocean Temple. After that, an Armored Train will regularly patrol the maze of tracks east of the Snow Temple in the Snow Realm.

Armored Trains appear most prominently in the Dark Realm, where six must be defeated. There are various Tears of Light strewn along the tracks, which make the Spirits' Train temporarily invulnerable, allowing Link to destroy Armored Trains by running into them.
