As a kingdom, [[Hyrule]] must protect itself. And in many games there are '''castle guards''' that protect the important landmarks of the kingdom.

==Characteristics and Behavior==
''A fervent sense of duty runs through the veins of every Hyrulean Soldier, as it is their calling to protect the royal palace and maintain order. Hyrulean Soldiers make up the bulk of the Royal Guard.'' - From the Zelda.com encyclopedia

Fire Babas look like a simple bulb, but when approached, the creature sprouts out of the bulb. Fire Babas, when in flower form, can spit a fire ball that does a quarter of a heart damage. If [[Link]] gets close, however, they will try to eat him. If they swallow the young hero and if the stylus is not rubbed back and forth, they will cause about a heart and 3 quarters of a heart damage. When the Fire Baba is sliced once, its bulb part will fly off. Even though it looses its fire ability, when it eats Link, it does greater damage.
   
  +
Using the [[Whip]] on a Fire Baba will risk pulling the bulb towards Link, getting swallowed in the process. Without its stem, Fire Babas are more versatile and cannot be stunned by a [[Boomerang]]. Boomerangs are only effective when the Fire Baba still has a stem. [[Bomb]]s and [[Arrow]]s are very effective.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', castle guards appeared around [[Hyrule]] during the rainstorm at the beginning of the game. They prevented [[Link]] from straying too far from the castle, and they provided helpful advice. However, their fellows, and later themselves, fell victim to the evil influence of [[Agahnim]], after which they would attack [[Link]] on sight. They are easy to defeat with a few sword swipes. They come in several varieties; the weakest wear green armor and wield a sword, dagger or bow. Those with bows usually hide in bushes and assault you when you get close. Stronger soldiers are blue and wield swords or bows. Red soldiers are the strongest and wield spears. Stronger varieties of soldiers include [[Knight]]s and [[Bomb Knight]]s, and even more powerful are the [[Ball and Chain Trooper]]s.

In order to meet with [[Princess Zelda]] as a [[Young Link|child]], you must infiltrate the castle and get past the guards. You can sell the [[Keaton Mask]] to the soldier in Kakariko Village who guards the gate to [[Death Mountain]], which to enter you must give the guard [[Zelda's Letter]]. Following Zelda's flight from [[Hyrule Castle]], before you obtain the [[Master Sword]], a dying guard can be found in the alley, slain by [[Ganondorf]]. After [[Ganondorf]] takes over, the guards seem to disappear. Though, it is possible that the [[Poe Collector]] was actually the guard that had been waiting in that storehouse seven years previous.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', there are soldiers that guard each exit of [[Clock Town]]. They will not let any children get past them. Link may only pass in [[Goron Link|Goron]] form and [[Zora Link|Zora]] form. [[Deku Link]] may not exit as he is seen as a child. In human form, Link may exit as they notice his sword and assume that he is an experienced swordsman. Using the [[Lens of Truth]], Link can locate an [[Shiro|invisible soldier]] that has been injured. If you give him a [[potion]] he will reward you with the [[Stone Mask]], the mask that granted him the ability to be invisible. There is also another guard seen with [[Viscen]].

They are seen guarding the flower garden just outside of [[Ambi's Palace]]. If Link is caught by the guard, he is kicked out of the garden. After entering the palace, however, the guards inside become hostile whenever Link is spotted by them. They do one heart damage and will not stop until the room is left.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', they are found guarding [[Hyrule Castle]] and [[Hyrule Town]]. In the town, they would block Link from straying to places that were unsafe. In the castle, they would try and prevent Link from entering the castle.

Due to their cowardly ways a [["The Group"|group of vigilantes]] take it upon their own hands to restore and preserve peace in Hyrule. If Link enters [[Castle Town]] as a [[Wolf Link|wolf]], the soldiers will surround him, looking as if they are trying to attack him, but if [[Link]] then uses the dark energy attack he uses on the [[Shadow Beasts]], they will run away screaming, a lot of times leaving behind [[rupee]]s or a bundle of [[arrows]].
 
In the Hyrule Castle stage in Twilight Princess, strange ghostly Stalfo-like spirits wearing Hyrule soldier outfits guide Link over a floor pieces that fall away to safe pieces and finally to the next room. They can only be seen as Wolf Link. It seems strange that they can only be found in one room, and their real identity is never revealed.

Template:Enemy Fire Babas are flower-like enemies found in the Fire Sanctuary in Spirit Tracks.

Characteristics and Behavior

Fire Babas look like a simple bulb, but when approached, the creature sprouts out of the bulb. Fire Babas, when in flower form, can spit a fire ball that does a quarter of a heart damage. If Link gets close, however, they will try to eat him. If they swallow the young hero and if the stylus is not rubbed back and forth, they will cause about a heart and 3 quarters of a heart damage. When the Fire Baba is sliced once, its bulb part will fly off. Even though it looses its fire ability, when it eats Link, it does greater damage.

Using the Whip on a Fire Baba will risk pulling the bulb towards Link, getting swallowed in the process. Without its stem, Fire Babas are more versatile and cannot be stunned by a Boomerang. Boomerangs are only effective when the Fire Baba still has a stem. Bombs and Arrows are very effective.
