Darknuts are recurring mini-bosses in the video game The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. They appear as heavily armored knights in black armor who wield a greatsword as their main weapons, with longswords acting as their backup. It is implied Darknuts are created by dark magic, as they disappear into puffs of black smoke when defeated.
During his quest to stop Ganondorf from taking over the Kingdom of Hyrule by enveloping it in Twilight, Link encountered sixteen Darknuts, who acted as guards in the Temple of Time and Hyrule Castle, though most were presented as challenges in the Cave of Ordeals.
Having no clear weaknesses, Darknuts require advanced sword-fighting techniques to beat. With each hit, a piece of the Darknuts' armor is dislodged, eventually leaving them in nothing but chainmail. At this point, Darknuts throw their greatsword and switch to their longsword. No longer being weighed down by their armor, they become much more agile, even being able to block arrows and perform great leaps.
