===King's Lackeys===
 
The King's Lackeys fighting style is very similar to that of the [[Stalfos]] in {{OoT}}. To defeat them, Link must burn the drapes that block the windows with [[Fire Arrow]]s, letting the light in. He must cripple them with basic Sword techniques and then reflect a beam of light on them with the [[Mirror Shield]] when they are lying on the floor in order to destroy their bodies. The [[Bremen Mask]] is capable of causing them to march, leaving them open to an attack.
 
 
===Igos du Ikana===
 
The King will watch the first part of the battle from his throne, deflecting any attacks thrown his direction. If Link ventures near him, he will be kicked back into the midst of battle.
 
 
Igos can take off his head and chase Link while the rest of his body keeps attacking with the Sword. Link must watch out for the head when it comes off, as there is no way to counter it. If the flying head attaches to Link, it will latch on to his face, taking [[Heart]]s away. Thus, the best strategy is to try to avoid the head until it comes back to its body, which can easily be done by rolling in a large circle as [[Goron Link]]. Igos also can breathe deep purple flames as a mid-range attack. When he falls down on the ground, Link must shine the light on him using his Mirror Shield to defeat him.

*Other Warriors make use of the Giant Blade in certain [[Adventure Mode]] battles:
*If Link wears the [[Captain's Hat]] while fighting Igos du Ikana, or runs up to him with it while fighting the others, he will mistake Link for [[Captain Keeta]] in a cutscene, but then quickly realize that it is a mask.<ref>{{Cite|Ohhh! Keeta! Is it not Captain Keeta?!? ...............But you're so... ...T-Tiny!!! I was nearly fooled by what you have done...|Igos du Ikana|MM}}</ref>

<div style="display:none">
*The symbol that appears on Igos' brooch is a recurring symbol throughout the [[Ancient Castle of Ikana]], as well as the [[Stone Tower Temple]]. It can also be spotted on the wall behind the [[Happy Mask Salesman]] inside the [[Clock Tower]].
 
  +
{{#vardefine:Dark|style="background-color:#163d5f"}}
*Igos du Ikana and his Lackeys are the only enemies and obstacles in ''Majora's Mask'' that require light to be shone on them but that are immune to [[Light Arrow]]s.
 
  +
</div>
*The way the Lackeys squabble with each other after being defeated by Link is similar to the humourous argument between [[Twinrova|Koume and Kotake]], after they are defeated in ''Ocarina of Time''.
