When he collapses, he is vulnerable to another weapon.|Saharsahla|ALTTP}}</ref> are a variety of exceptionally large, strong [[Stalfos]] that appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', armed with large blades. They are stationed in the [[Ice Palace]], where they drop from the ceiling in certain rooms to attack. They then proceed to leap across the room to assault Link. Attacking a Stalfos Knight with a sword will simply cause it to collapse into a heap, only to reform shortly afterwards. They commonly appear in pairs. The Stalfos Knights in ''A Link to the Past'' are the largest non-boss enemy in the game: they are about four times the size of a regular Stalfos and tower over Link.

==Strategy==
 
The only way to destroy a Stalfos Knight is to attack with a certain weapon when they have crumpled in a heap, [[Bomb]]s. A single Bomb once the knight is stunned is enough to destroy it for good. If Link does not have Bombs, it is actually possible to destroy a Stalfos Knight with repeated hits from a [[Boomerang]], but it takes many many strikes to deliver the final blow. Stalfos Knights often drop bombs for Link to collect when they are destroyed.
 
 
Stalfos Knights also appear in the [[Palace of the Four Sword]] of the [[Game Boy Advance]] release. These knights are a red color compared to those in the Ice Palace, but they are the same strength.
 
 
==Trivia==
 
*The regular [[Stalfos]] of ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]'' share the same Japanese name as the Stalfos Knights of ''A Link to the Past'', "Stalfon".
 
*[[Master Stalfos]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'' is a particularly dangerous Stalfos Knight boss that is defeated in the same manner as those in ''A Link to the Past''.
 
*Early screenshots of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' show Stalfos with a very similar design to the Stalfos Knights of ''A Link to the Past''.
 
*The behavior of Stalfos Knights and Master Stalfos went on to influence the behavior of normal Stalfos in ''Ocarina of Time'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', such as using Bombs on their bones to destroy them.
