Evolution of Darknut Battles in Zelda Games (1986-2024)

[@loftwingheropon2743]

In echos of wisdom I used the lvl 3 darknut almost always. I called him Norman.

[@mikegalbraith9999]

Yeah, the Darknuts in that game were really handy.

[@Flufux]

Wow, Vaati must have been paying his Darknuts something extra given how lethal the ones in Four Swords seemed to be...that, and how the three he spawn in before facing him in the Minish Cap either led to me getting the bad ending or reducing my health way too small before fighting the guy himself.

[@superpenguinzzz]

In OoT and MM they're Iron Knuckles. fun fact, if you use a camera hack you can see inside an Iron Knuckle and see a brainwashed Gerudo. that includes the miniboss one that has a different look and that specific one is revealed as a brainwashed Babooru.

[@Chris-gx1ei]

In Zelda 2 they are also called Iron Knuckles Unlike Dark Nuts they are fully Human, maybe enhanced, while Darknuts are Members of the Demon Tribe

[@mikegalbraith9999]

12:12 I've always wondered why the Darknut in the Tower of the Gods gets its own figurine. Also, Darknuts are my favorite enemy, especially the ones in Wind Waker and Twilight Princess.

[@superpenguinzzz]

I love how in Wind Waker you can cause friendly fire with Darknuts. For some reason the straps on the armor kinda look like an hourglass if you look hard

[@LeoSchneidersurreal]

Twilight Princess best Zelda ever ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺

[@blackhacker21]

The Twilight Princess ones are broken Fun fact: in Wind Waker the darknuts can make a spin attack/hurricane spin

[@elvininoa3367]

Darknut: Ganon doesn't pay me enough for this

[@TheMuequeton]

Wind waker is so awesome 🔥

[@PlayersPurity]

They seem like a hard time to deal with in Four Swords 💀

[@thunderbirdrc7071]

at 3:05 for OoT those are Iron Knuckles, not Darknuts, same for MM

[@MarkFendy-sw7hn]

But can they Iron Knuckles of Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask be part of Darknuts?

[@thunderbirdrc7071]

@@MarkFendy-sw7hn no, they are both there own entity, as both enemy's are separate in the original 1986 game

[@vytalman]

Beat me to it. They do look similar in some ways, though.

[@otamatonefan8996]

Darknut, or, in a certain fungus streamer's voice, Dark-NYUUTT!!

[@MarkFendy-sw7hn]

I always wondered when you first find approach a Iron Knuckle in Ocarina of Time Majora's Mask before you start slashing hitting them! Are they asleep sitting or standing?

[@I.T.P]

1:02, 3:01, 3:45 All of these are Iron Knuckles. I can see why that’d be confusing though, don’t think there’s ever a direct mention of their names in game

[@kristopherkranock4201]

I wanted to see a Darknut in Tears of the Kingdom, but sadly no. Zelda would use her powers to make some Darknuts fight for her and alongside Link to fight evil 👿!

[@yatanogarasu]

How the earlier 2D top down make the Darknuts so weak...

[@Deined]

Try actually fighting them, my man. Whoever was playing the original LoZ in this vid was almost inhuman in not taking a single hit.

[@yatanogarasu]

@@Deined Yeah, but 2 strikes to kill one? Pretty quick compared to 3D.

[@Deined]

@yatanogarasu It makes a world of difference when there are rooms that are swarming with Darknuts that can't be hurt from the front and can turn your way at any time when you're trying to strike. As I said, this player only made it _look_ easy.

[@milanalic]

cool

[@LeoSchneidersurreal]

I prefer Zelda's to be more realistic than cartoonish like this last one 🤣🤣🤣 such a beautiful series ends up in such decline

[@JinkTheJerkofHyrule12]

I love your vids, i'm sub, pin PLEASE!!😇😇💝
