Red Knight

The Red Knight is a character from The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures. A red-armored Knight of Hyrule, he guards the Red Jewel. At one point, the Red Knight was sucked into the Dark World and morphed into a Big Stalfos.

Link encounters the Big Stalfos in the Desert of Doubt, shortly after leaving the Zuna encampment. After destroying the Knight Mark, perpetuating the curse, the Red Knight returns to normal. He tells Link that he and his fellow knights were "bested by a foe with a mighty weapon", referring to Ganon and the Trident. He goes on to explain that Ganon created Shadow Link as a means of tricking the hero into breaking the seal placed on Vaati.
