\Stalfos is a bony enemy that you would find in several temples in Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake. It might be difficult to beat at first, but it can be defeated easily by keeping your shield up and attacking whenever it leaves itself vulnerable. In this guide, we’ll cover where to find Stalfos, how to defeat it, and how to fight it again at the Hall of Fallen Foes.
Stalfos Boss in Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake
You will be able to battle Stalfos once again at the Hall of Fallen Foes. You will only be able to unlock this place once you get the ability to change between Adult and Child Link. Once the location is unlocked, you can reach it from the various resting places in Hyrule.
Though both these enemies are known as Stalfos, they look very different and are also listed separately at the Hall of Fallen Foes. Another difference between these Stalfos is their manner of fighting. In the Forest Temple, Stalfos fight in groups of two. However, in the Shadow Temple and Spirit Temple, Stalfos fight alone.
How to Beat Stalfos
The Stalfos monsters found in the Shadow and Spirit Temples battle in a similar manner to the monsters that you faced in the Forest Temple. The best way to beat these creatures is to take a defensive stance and attack at the appropriate time. Always keep your shield up and look out for the jumping attack of the Stalfos monsters. When Stalfos jump towards you, they are vulnerable to an attack from you for a very short period. Make the most of this window of opportunity and attack them.
You can also attack them using the Deku Nut in order to stun them and then attack them. But remember not to use the Deku Nut when their shields are up, since they will easily block your attack. Another trick that you can use is to throw a Deku Nut while the Stalfos are in the process of making a jump attack.
