Darknuts are large armored soldiers that commonly are found in dungeons. These warriors are armed with swords and often have shields as well. Unlike [[Iron Knuckle]]s, Darknuts wear capes and tend to be only vulnerable from the back. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', Darknuts are heavily armored soldiers that usually appear in large groups. They are not very aggressive, but difficult to attack due to their erratic movement.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', Darknuts are large warriors that wear colorful and decorated armor. Some wield only swords, whereas some have shields and capes. They are difficult to beat, but often leave themselves vulnerable after attacking. In ''The Wind Waker'', Darknuts left behind the highly prized Knight's Crest. Their powerful swords could also be picked up and used afterwards. Interestingly enough, if their helmets are knocked off, they are revealed to be strange dog-like creatures underneath.

The Darknuts also appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', starting in the [[Temple of Time]] where the Darknut acts as a miniboss. There are also several found in [[Hyrule Castle]] and on the 39th and 49th floors of the Cave of Ordeals. Once again they are difficult to defeat, especially when attacking in groups, and some wield maces rather than swords. After taking enough damage, Darknuts will drop their armor and become more agile.
