In {{SS}}, there are two types of Guardians that inhabit [[Silent Realm]]s. One wields a mace and can run quickly; however, it is limited by obstacles and generally confined to certain areas. The other type is a robed beast that slowly hovers around with two blades, passing through any obstacle in its way. Both types have three distinctive glowing eyes, pure white armor, and robes laced with black and gold. As [[Link]] is unarmed while in Silent Realms, Guardians are effectively indestructible.

In {{BotW}}, a different group of enemies also known as Guardians are ancient machines with an octopus design based on [[Octorok]]s.<ref>{{Cite web|quote= In creating a huge world, I went back to the first Zelda title. And I wanted to see an enemy like Octorok. Octorok to me when I was playing felt really large. That’s why the first enemy I created for the game was the Guardian. But then just creating a large octopus is kind of gross, so we decided to take the more sci-fi, technology route, and that’s where the visual for the Guardian comes from. And that decision leads into the storyline, and influenced many other elements we added to the game.|author= Matt Peckham|published= June 15, 2016|url= http://time.com/4369527/zelda-breath-wild-open-world/|title= Why Nintendo Had to Destroy Tradition to Create the New 'Zelda'|site= Time}}</ref> They are powerful enemies, with high health and a laser beam attack that deals six [[Heart]]s of damage.

Although she is a bit delusional, she is very kind and caring. She is one of the few characters who is not afraid of [[Wolf Link]], but rather, asks if he would like to play with her, as she thinks he is a puppy. She apologizes for not being able to speak puppy, indicating she thinks that Wolf Link wants to tell her something.<ref>{{Cite|Oh, hello, puppy… I'm sorry, but I don't speak puppy. Do you want to play?|Agitha|TP}}</ref> Sometimes she can be found outside the southern gates of Hyrule Castle Town during the daytime before Link has brought her all 24 Bugs; she states she is looking for bugs in the flowers. This is the only time she carries her trademark parasol and basket with her. If Link speaks to her around sunset when she is walking back to the city, she says she is heading home and if Link wants to talk to her, he should come visit her at her posh castle.<ref>{{Cite|Why, hello! I'm so sorry, but I was just finishing up here. If there's something you need, you'll simply have to visit me in my posh castle on the other side of the gate.|Agitha|TP}}</ref>

===''Hyrule Warriors''===
 
Agitha is a playable Warrior in {{HW}}. She fights primarily by summoning swarms of Golden Butterflies and giant Golden Beetles with her Parasol weapon to aid her in battle.<ref>{{Cite web|quote= |author= |published= June 24, 2014|retrieved=June 24, 2014|url= http://www.famitsu.com/news/201406/24055797.html|title= Agitha and Lana in Hyrule Warriors|site= Famitsu|type=}}</ref>
 
 
In [[Legend Mode]], Agitha first appears in the [[Twilight Field]] Scenario, "[[Land of Twilight]]". She becomes cornered by the [[Forces|Dark Force]]s' [[Bulblin]]s, but is shortly saved by [[Lana]]. She decides to aid the [[Hyrulean Forces]] to find the land's [[Gate of Souls]] by having her [[Goddess Butterfly]] lead the way. It is, however, captured by [[Midna]] (Whom Agitha refers to as "Miss Kitty"), who then uses it to locate [[Cia]].<ref>{{Cite web |published= 2014-07-01|retrieved=July 1, 2014|url= https://twitter.com/zelda_musou/status/483906964401831936 |title= 「ゼルダ無双」公式 on Twitter |site= Twitter}}</ref> The Hyrulean Forces manage to defeat her and retrieve the Goddess Butterfly. Agitha accompanies the Hyrulean Forces as they combat [[Zant]] in the [[Palace of Twilight (Hyrule Warriors)|Palace of Twilight]], and later Cia and her Dark Forces.
 
 
Agitha is unlocked as a playable character through [[Adventure Mode]]. She is occasionally also fought as an enemy Warrior in certain Adventure Mode Battles, or sometimes in the form of "[[Dark Link|Dark]] Agitha". She occasionally drops [[Agitha's Basket|her Basket]] as a [[Material]] when defeated, and rarely [[Agitha's Pendant|her Pendant]].

==Trivia==
  +
*Guardians in ''Skyward Sword'' are very similar in function to the [[Phantom]]s from {{PH}} and {{ST}}.
*The first time Link talks to Agitha, she thinks he is an insect. The insect she calls Link depends on the tunic he is wearing. It can be a giant grasshopper,<ref>{{Cite|…Oh, boy! I thought you were a giant grasshopper!|Agitha|Twilight Princess}}</ref> jewel beetle,<ref>{{Cite|…Oh, boy! I thought you were a giant jewel beetle!|Agitha|Twilight Princess}}</ref> or scarab beetle.<ref>{{Cite|…Oh, boy! I thought you were a giant scarab beetle!|Agitha|Twilight Princess}}</ref> The third result is impossible to see in the original game because Link cannot afford the Magic Armor's 598 Rupee price without the Big Wallet. In {{TPHD}} it is possible to obtain the Big Wallet from the [[Cave of Shadows]] to obtain the Magic Armor before talking to her.

*Guardians in ''Breath of the Wild'' originally emitted a blue light instead of a pink one.
*In ''Hyrule Warriors'', Agitha claims to have learned how to pick locks from termites.

*Although not similar in shape or function, both the ''Skyward Sword'' and ''Breath of the Wild'' Guardians appear mechanical in nature.

Template:Enemy Guardians are enemies in Skyward Sword and Breath of the Wild.

Characteristics and Weaknesses

Skyward Sword

In Skyward Sword, there are two types of Guardians that inhabit Silent Realms. One wields a mace and can run quickly; however, it is limited by obstacles and generally confined to certain areas. The other type is a robed beast that slowly hovers around with two blades, passing through any obstacle in its way. Both types have three distinctive glowing eyes, pure white armor, and robes laced with black and gold. As Link is unarmed while in Silent Realms, Guardians are effectively indestructible.

While Link is in a Silent Realm, he must collect Sacred Tears to successfully complete the trial. Guardians will try to prevent him from accomplishing that goal by chasing him as soon as he leaves the safety of the circle he starts in.[1] If they land a single hit on Link, his spirit will shatter, failing the trial.[2] Link can stop the pursuit by collecting a Sacred Tear, which returns the creatures to their original positions in their inert statue-like state for 90 seconds.[3] A flower above the Spirit Vessel acts as a timer, with its petals disappearing to indicate how long the Silent Realm Guardian will remain inactive.[4] If Link is spotted by a Watcher or touches Waking Water,[5] the effect of the tears will be nullified, and the Guardians will reawaken, resuming their search for him.

Breath of the Wild

Template:Future game In Breath of the Wild, a different group of enemies also known as Guardians are ancient machines with an octopus design based on Octoroks.[6] They are powerful enemies, with high health and a laser beam attack that deals six Hearts of damage. When defeated, they drop Ancient Springs and Ancient Screws. Smaller variants of Guardians can be found within Shrines of Trials, while deactivated Guardians can be found in various locations around Hyrule.

A crippled Guardian appears in the Eastern Abbey, unable to mobilize itself. Instead, its head section will simply rotate and search for targets to lock on to before firing a laser from its eye.

Trivia

  • Guardians in Skyward Sword are very similar in function to the Phantoms from Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks.
  • Guardians in Breath of the Wild originally emitted a blue light instead of a pink one.
  • Although not similar in shape or function, both the Skyward Sword and Breath of the Wild Guardians appear mechanical in nature.
