Phantom

Insert non-formatted text here Phantom Guardians or often just Phantoms are shady defenders that appear throughout the Temple of the Ocean King in Phantom Hourglass. Phantom Guardians have near impenetrable armor that can't be overcome by any traditional weapons. To avoid the phantoms Link must sneak around them. If spotted he must quickly have to run to purple tiles called "safe zones" that prevent the Phantoms from finding or attacking him. Near the end of Link's adventure, he obtains the Phantom Sword, the only known weapon powerful enough to kill them. There are three types of Phantoms in the Adventure game, regular blue Phantom, which walks around slowly and has no tricks, the Swift Phantom, which is red and is a bit faster than the other, and the last  phantom is yellow (not quite sure of the name) and is VERY slow, but watch out, because it can warp if it sees you.

The Phantoms are also playable characters in Phantom Hourglasses multiplayer where they try to stop the opposing player from stealing Force Gems.
