'''Southern Swamp''' is the name of the southern area of [[Termina]] in {{MM}}. It is home to the [[Deku Scrub]]s and is ruled by a fierce [[Deku King]] who resides in the [[Deku Palace]]. When [[Link]] first enters Southern Swamp, the water is poisoned due to the curse of the [[Woodfall Temple]].

There is a second entrance leading into the swamp that is accessible through a river in [[Ikana Canyon]].

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.
