__NOTOC__
 
A '''Guardian''' is a powerful creature featured in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''.

:''I don’t see the harm in having a page. It’s a bit better than having a category. Categories really aren’t that pretty or user-friendly. And not something you want to cover a topic with.''
==Characteristics==
 
There are two types of Guardians that inhabit [[Silent Realm]]s. One looks like a mace-wielding [[Darknut]], which can run quickly, but 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, and vaguely resembles a [[Garo]]. Both types have three distinctive glowing eyes and 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 has to collect [[Sacred Tears]] to successfully complete the trial. The Guardians will try to prevent him from accomplishing that goal by chasing him as soon as Link leaves the safety of the circle he starts in.<ref>{{cite|If you take even a single step outside the protective circle you stand in, the Guardians of this realm will wake up and pursue you, Master.|Fi|SS}}</ref> If they land a single hit on him, Link's spirit will shatter and he will have to restart the trial.<ref>{{cite|If a Guardian manages to land even a single hit on you, your spirit will shatter and you will fail the trial.|Fi|SS}}</ref> Link can stop the pursuit by collecting a [[Sacred Tear]], which will return the creatures to their inert statue-like state for 90 seconds.<ref>{{cite|You got a Sacred Tear!

Well, I have expanded this article, hopefully WolfLink's intentions will not be in vain after all. My phylosophy as an editor from ZW is to '''''Add, reorganize, expand and/or modify''''' articles or sections as a plan A, so I had that in mind with this article. besides, Yusei, according to your (frankly ambiguous) logic, articles like [[Dungeon|this]], [[Sidequests|this]] or even '''''[[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|THIS]]''''' would be useless as well (although you're free to believe whatever you want, as long as you don't disrupt articles just to illustrate a point). The idea in these cases is to provide a brief definition of the subject, since there are terms and conventions that are worth being conceptually covered in separate articles.--[[User:K2L|K2L]] 01:24, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Whether Wall Merging is a Transformation

Just thought I'd start some discussion on whether Wall Merging from A Link Between Worlds should be mentioned on this page. Opinions?
