Zelda Twilight Princess: Darknut

[metalsonic641]

i love a god swordsman on swordsman battle :D

[metalsonic641]

@metalsonic641 *good

[NealKoke05]

I love how this mini boss is harder then the end boss (that pussy spider who is felled in 3 hits) lol

[Randomest672]

Imagine if they attacked you during the final battle on horses. If they knocked you down, you'd have to fight every one of them.

Of course, Ganon would only have 1 or 2 of them, at least a limited supply.

[MrYokokurama1]

im only at arbiters grounds 0:

[ericmarshall19]

man you suck at this game

[rabbidluigi]

@ericmarshall19 Err...he lost half a heart. That's pretty good actually.

[malditobast]

dark nut, best zelda enemy ever



[shyguy725]

Yu can use bomb arrows against him...

He wil deflect them when you fire at him, but hen you fire at the ground next to him, he will get caught in the explosion.

[jordaniangamer]

Wind Waker's Darknuts are better. This Darknut is boring. They only shine until Ganon's dungeon where you'll fight a lot of them.

[ShadowReaperX07]

@jordaniangamer windwaker darknuts - Pathetically easy. They cannot even block helm splitters or parrying slice. i lost a minimum of 3 hearts fighting 4 at once.

Twilight darknuts - Hard, i spent a lot of hearts trying to kill them. Also, i bring up mention of the cave of ordeals... the final floor with 3 supreme darknuts... it isn't funny, i used up all of my potions and i only beat it thanks to the attack power up and the magic rupee armour.

[ravingvag69]

@ShadowReaperX07 helm splitter... windwaker? what?

[ShadowReaperX07]

@ravingvag69 the parry where you jump over the enemies head. which technically is a helm splitter (how it chops off the darknuts helmet).

All i'm saying is windwaker darknuts are far easier than these guys. Never have i lost so much life.

[DeadKevTheKnife]

Link's Crossbow Training's Darknut Boss is just as awesome, but with a crossbow and Darknut is made out ok crows or big mosquitos.

[lordofthepizzapie]

weak-ass wind waker darknuts got nothing on this

[jecjerich]

i want this guy on Skyward Sword it would epic.

[PTp1ranha]

Link: *kills Darknut*

Link: ... And on with the day.

[William6likes6Rock]

Probably the greatest enemy ever.

[JogBird]

after playing dark souls for the past few days, i cant take this series seriously anymore.. this would be like dark souls for pre school

[leafblight27]

wtf is a darknut. that there is an iron knuckle.

[ArraTonks]

you can shoot bombs at him...and his armor comes off way faster

[Governm3nt]

@ArraTonks But that isn't so fun, is it?

[ArraTonks]

@Governm3nt

no it ain't...the battle becomes pointless and easy

[Governm3nt]

@ArraTonks Well it's quite pointless to just blow him up and not experience the fight. Isn't fun to do the hidden attacks on him and feel like a sword fighter?

[ArraTonks]

@Governm3nt

I meant that it isn't fun to do it...is just easier. The hidden skills work very well once you're used to them. The helm splitter works well even if he already lost his helmet. I would just use the bomb arrows at the end of the cave of ordeals

[Governm3nt]

@ArraTonks Reminds me of Dark Link, and how people said you can use the hammer to kill him easily. I always thought the sword fights were the best.

[ArraTonks]

@Governm3nt what?...really? I have never tried that... it makes sense seeing that he copies your moves, and with the hammer he can't . That was a long fight...a real sword fight

[Governm3nt]

@ArraTonks Plus the mini boss theme music is on loop for a long time lol

[shaddowwarrior99]

I love that part when link looks at the sword he threw. He had that face like Oh HELL NO!

[MrBlueSoup6]

If you want to kill him quickly, wait til he attacks then he's open

[DigiTan000]

The Darknut Rises

[Char92xx]

I just realized that Ganondorf makes pretty much the same moves D:

[ExHero627]

@daladek Yea that's true but it is a pretty cool sword though.

[REDXJeenKs30000]

I LOVE The taught you can do in this game after you defeat an enemy i HOPE NINTENDO KEEPS THAT IN SS

[windwaker0rules]

the hardest monster of all...just a man in a suit of armour

[ExHero627]

I just notice,the sword it's using is Ganondorf's old sword from Oot/SSBM.

[daladek]

@ExHero627 true

but its mainly just a Great sword.

[DWNmetalman777]

@ExHero627 yeah, it's the same type of sword... but the guard and overall color of ganondorf's sword is different.

[selan100]

I really wish nintendo could put a hardcore mode where all the enemies becomes smarter... The darknut is one of the few enemies I actually enjoy fighting.

[trixigt2]

@selan100 Agreed, he was the only somewhat challenging one in the whole game - lol, not even the giant skeleton in that pit was even close to this guy xd

[6874metallica]

Temple of Time is the best zelda music by far

[74205Defiant]

Best combo for me is jumpattack, shield attack, helmsplitter then a couple of spin attacks. I can't remember my combo for the non armor part though

[flygonrock56]

darknut has a pokeball shield XD

[TenorOrbi]

@midnafan11 well, maybe once he decides not to attack you... O_o ...

Hey, that could be good RPG material. o.o

[Ge1g3rC0unter]

Darknuts remind of me of the Teutonic Knights from the Baltic Crusades.

[midnafan11]

@EpicPrincess100 same here, He would be AWESOME as a bodyguard :)

[404Lovedoctor]

WHAT THE HELL!!!! LINK IS NOT RIGHT HANDED? It explains why he is getting scratch

[96Bevo]

I think if you ramped up the difficulty of him, he would make a better final sword fight with Gannondorf.

[murilobizkitbrito]

darknuts look so badass

[SageSquidward]

Man, it would be so sweet if you could get that equipment in Demon's Souls or Oblivion.

[AuracharmTheOverlord]

his shield looks like a black and gold pokeball!

[metaldragon3303]

The greatest thing about this fight is that it is a true sword fight, no projectiles or special weapons!

[EagleSharpPro]

@metaldragon3303 definently, i wanted to do this fight over and over again. i hate the cave of ordeals....

[th3zahhak]

Que pajeros los de nintendo xD,,... Darknut es zurdo y link diestro, al menos se pudieron haber dado el tiempo que corregir eso ¬¬

[METROIDROCKSXP98]

@th3zahhak tonto hijo de puta es al reves este es la version de wii y la version de wii es una version reflejada de la version gamecube y adeemas por qe mierda hablas es español en un video qe todos comentatn en ingles STUPID MOTHERFUCKER ¬¬

[th3zahhak]

@METROIDROCKSXP98 no entendiste ni el 20% de mi comentario -.- ademas lo comente por que sabia que weones como tu me iban a comentar xD,,,,,, ademas si darknut ubiera sido zurdo igual que link ubiera sido mas dificil golpearle

[METROIDROCKSXP98]

@th3zahhak entonces di eso entonces hijo de puta xD

[th3zahhak]

@METROIDROCKSXP98 y vo entiende bien la wea po conchetumadre xD

[METROIDROCKSXP98]

@th3zahhak xD

[PleasedToBeHere1]

@th3zahhak ¿Porque corregirlo? Lo dices como si fuera un error.

[th3zahhak]

@PleasedToBeHere1 Link siempre es y siempre sera zurdo

[PleasedToBeHere1]

@th3zahhak ¿Pero puedes asegurarlo? Si los creadores decidieran que de ahora en adelante haran a Link diestro ¿No seria Link diestro? Eso sin mencionar que segun el juego no hay un solo Link, sino muchos ¿No puede ser alguno de ellos diestro?

[th3zahhak]

@PleasedToBeHere1 Link es zurdo porque el creador lo es -.- y siempre sera zurdo ya que solo ahora es destro para acomodarse a los controles de wii, pero al menos deberían de haber puesto una opción para las personas zurdas

[Oudaen]

Damn tough, but I loved how I finally had to put my swordmanskills to the test.

[HalfJawArbiter166]

Wait a minute. WHY THE HELL ISN'T LINK TAKING DAMAGE?

[Oudaen]

@HalfJawArbiter166 He obviously blocks the attacks with his shield

[HalfJawArbiter166]

Why does EVERY BOSS that has a sword swings it around before the battle?

If they want to be badass, they would have asked Chuck Norris to teach them.

[timeparadox888]

Anyone else notice he's using OoT Ganon's sword in the first phase?

[Duorsa]

@timeparadox888 looks nothing like it. OoT ganon had huge yellow sabers.

[sith00]

@timeparadox888 Absolutely not.

[EpicPrincess100]

I want him to be my body guard

[Duorsa]

I like how they transitioned the NES sprite to this, this is what they should look like in 3d, its better than wind waker (the character), and tougher.

[JJR202]

since only the first hidden skill is required... if you don't get the rest how do you beat him...

[TheBlueSoup]

cool way to hit him, attack so he blocks, shield attack then helm splitter!

[8super8sonic8]

where the ****did he go

[ReimuHakurei1020]

1:15 Invisa-shield O.o

[Jewtube0101011]

Can't believe this game is already four years old. I remember fighting this miniboss when it was only 2 days old. At first I thought the second sword was just for looks.

[bealtespip123]

@Jewtube0101011 I thought so too. But when he began to get serious I was like,"Oh shit O_o". Man,good times!

[OmegaChosen0]

It ain't fair why do all villains look so more badass than the hero

[Nesseight]

@OmegaChosen0 The hero needs to be "the little guy" in order for people to sincerely believe he's going against all odds.

Could you imagine being 17 and having to fight something like that? If you were some middle-aged dark lord people would just expect you to win.

[OmegaChosen0]

@Nesseight Just messing around

Link's (all timelines) actions already prove to make the entire lineage badass

[KoronofHearts]

Note that he's left handed, just like Link canonically is (only in Wii version f TP is he right handed to go along with right-handed players on the Wii)

[dbzelda123]

was anyone else dissapointed with the ganon swordfight after this? i mean you had to just tap A and thats it. i sure was dissapointed :P

[KytanoSkorpius]

I hate fighting these guys in the original Zelda, and I hate fighting these guys in Wind Waker. But I love fighting these dudes in this game. I have no idea why.

[62cky4powerthirst]

@KytanoSkorpius they put up a better fight in twilight pricess

[bobaneko]

idk why when i see him all whit out the armor reminde me of spawn

[ZeldaFreeak10]

BEHOLD THE PEANUT OF EVIL!

[Ryuzekia]

You see this fight in the back of the LoZ:TP cover for the gamecube!

[abhirao2001]

Awesome battle. Darknuts and Iron Knuckles rule!

[KingChozin]

but in cave of ordeals it was so fkin anoyying fighting the chain lizards and these things at the same time...

[KingChozin]

they are easy

[FlameZ1412]

Why is it called Darknuts???

Because his ballz are so hairy?

xD

[EmosnakeProductions]

meh, I beat a darknut as a wolf, so yeah

[GooBallGirl]

HOW DID u get 60 arrows?

[mark9241]

this guy sucks...

[LionsRainx99]

Is it just me, or is this guy harder in the Gamecube version?

I certainly couldn't pull off spin moves that fast then. And for some reason I couldn't land a hit on him at all unless I did a Mortal Draw when the armor is there.

[burra007]

this guy really surprised me, after fighting the ones from WW, I kinda underestimated this one for looking smaller and being slower, but it compensated all of that with strength and strong defense, and without armor lacked strong defense, but had the same strength and better speed. besides, the sparry attack in WW was automatic, this one not, besides, who had tough that you must use the shield attack after a strike in order to do a helm splitter?

[animeluver45]

Favorite mini boss!

[empoleon209]

@TheKoenGie lmao!!!!

[XGiftedGamerX]

Imagine a Darknut using an axe like Iron knuckles.... 0_0

[CorvetteCoonass]

@XGiftedGamerX Say goodbye to defense and 4 hearts.

[alvinleeman1]

I love fighting darknauts and I'm so good at it I dnt néed 2 use the master sword or hylian shield I jus use the ordon sword nd shield lol I love using thoes things 2 beat the bosses it makes the fights longer nd more difficult

[F3rTheskill]

darknut is probably the hardest mid-boss in my opinion and of course there's the cave ordeals where's theres a trio of them for the final battle which is a challenge in it's own. :P

[tyeb29]

@F3rTheskill eh, i would definatly say the hardest was that ball and chain lizard, my opinion

[game4ce]

LOL I liked this this mini-boss a lot, until I reached the last room in the Cave of Ordeals where F#cking 3 of them are walking around! It took me 15 minutes to kill those MothaF#ckers (running in circles like a pussy so they couldn't hit me.)

[we1need1revival]

game4ce

If you do the Cave of Ordeals again next time there is 4 of them! lol! Bombs are super useful in killing a group of them (and I had to beat them with one heart left xp )

[we1need1revival]

If you go through the cave ordeals again there will be 4 of them!!

[MrApophis]

Dammit. They should make darknuts roam around hyrule field. And keep the music!

[nintendoshadowbug]

whenever he gets hit he goes, tim hortin tim hortin tim hortin

[myrio007]

2:23: THIS IS ZELDAAA!

[AdeptJenna]

Honestly you act like little brats, this isnt the place for your crappy fighting.

[ZoraLink10nLink]

these things are effin hard in this game!!

[cyraxkilawatt]

This was by far my favorite and the coolest battle of the game, it felt like a real duel.

[oshronosaurus]

what i really love about this part of the game is the closing cutscene of the actual fight, because the darknut doesnt want to give up even though all of his strength has left him

[wackykid100]

awsome blackphoenix2257. i never noticed that. ill spread the word.

[BlackPhoenix2257]

has anyone noticed in the wii game link is right handed and in the gamecube version hes left handed O_o

[Smiffyers]

i think thats for 2 reasons:

1) Nintendo originally wanted this to be a GC Only Release, but they ported it to Wii aswell, they didnt want it to be a complete copy, thus new controls +everything is flipped.

2) Links right handed so it would be easier to control seeing as the majority of consumers are most likely right handed.

[Smiffyers]

No need to act like a dick.

[BlackPhoenix2257]

no need to act like a smartass >.>

[megarusan]

@Smiffyers He's using his shield at all time. A blow from the Darknut sword just throw you off balance when it hits your shield

[BrokenKhree]

Ooooookay... that was by far the WORST response to a question I've seen on Youtube...

[Monkeyboy92037]

no fucktard, i'm sure no one has noticed that. are you in some sort of special society for geniuses?

[BlackPhoenix2257]

yea, its called COLLEGE.. something u probably wont be going to, secondly was just SAYING, and thanks alot for rating ALL my comments down, i still say the dumbass dosent know how to tell the difference between somone ASKING and someone just SAYING... cause i already knew, was just wondering who knew

[Monkeyboy92037]

i'm a math major with a 4.0, champ. and i'm not the only one who gave your fucktarded comments thumbs downs, everyone thinks you're a douche. learn to control your asperger :D

[BlackPhoenix2257]

wow, what are you in like 5th grade.. i don't give a shit that you're a fricken math weirdo. i don't do shitty things like math anymore smart ass =\, why would i give a fuck xD. also asperger isn't a word so i has no idea what you're saying o.o..

[Monkeyboy92037]

lol yeah, soon i'll have a badass job making 6 figures while you live in a basement making idiotic comments on youtube xD o.o =\ if you don't know what asperger syndrome is go look on wikipedia you fucking idiot... your dumbass comments are a cum stain on youtube, gtfo and make some friends

[BlackPhoenix2257]

actually ill be a writer and be going to Antarctica to study polar bears and gloabal warming =\. that job pays about 3,000,000 a year for me :D! while you'll be making numbers on PAPER!!! O_o....

[Monkeyboy92037]

LMAO, if you're going to make such a huge lie to make strangers on youtube jealous, at least choose a place that isn't antarctica.  i wouldn't go there for 3 fucking billions dollars. also, i doubt you'll be a writer since you can't spell "global" and are 12 years old

[BlackPhoenix2257]

s'cuse me for making a typo >.>, secondly Antarctica isn't just a hunk of ice =\, also your last sentence kinda failed when you said "and are 12 years old" >.> it would be "And since your 12 years old." xD

[Monkeyboy92037]

you obviously don't understand grammar, since my last sentence was just fine. learn parallelism, icebro >.> =\ xD

[BlackPhoenix2257]

and you obviously don't understand college :3

[Monkeyboy92037]

if you're actually in college, then our education system is fucked. xD :3 >.> gtfo

[BlackPhoenix2257]

wow, no offense but you're the one who replied to me saying "no fucktard, i'm sure no one has noticed that. are you in some sort of special society for geniuses?"

wow.... is it just me or do you think college is for homo's =\, plus, look at you, typing shit on the internet, bet you wouldn't be able to talk to me in PERSON. seriously why don't YOU gtfo.

[Monkeyboy92037]

i'm in college, faggot. and i said that because you were being a whiny internet asshole. and i have a mouth, so i'm sure i could talk to you in PERSON. and asperger apparently isn't a real word, so idk how to respond to that. commenting nonstop like this is killing my boner, so let's stop

[BlackPhoenix2257]

Quote from YOU "learn to control your asperger :D" obviously if it's not a word i was right in the first place XD

[Monkeyboy92037]

step 1. go to google

step 2. type in "asperger syndrome"

step 3. learn sarcasm

[BlackPhoenix2257]

wow, worst response xD. cause to me that sounded nothing like sarcasm in your other comment :3

[thelinkonar]

@BlackPhoenix2257 you are a dick :P

[BlackPhoenix2257]

also, calm your asperger why don't you :3

[SirCrocTube]

@Monkeyboy92037

Did I just hear someone make an offensive comment about people with asperger syndrome? -_-

[Monkeyboy92037]

yeah it was me

[BlackPhoenix2257]

don't see who the idiot was who rated my first comment down >.>

[lancecytan]

this reminds me of iron knuckles in Oot and MM...

[brazothegr8]

yay lightsabers

[brazothegr8]

if link had a lightsaber...

[sinceubeengone84]

behind satllord this is my favorite boss batlle in the whole game!

[Bobnumerotres]

I like how no matter how much the darknut breaks your guard, you'll always block his attacks.

[Archonus]

I like how Darknuts are harder to kill than Ganondorf...

[Seiji1991]

Dude, I whooped this guys ass the first time i played this game. But when it came to the Cave of Ordeals when there was more of them I got raped D:

[masterofsomthin]

It would be smart to use the magic armor when you're getting your ass kicked.

[Darkbeastganon2]

i got a better trick on the armored darknut: back slice then shield attack, helm splitter and some stabs. it always work.

[TheHellknight12]

Cheater you did not lose any health when you got hit. you probably suck

[Hylianhero777]

Hey noob, It's called SHEILDING.

[TMoody9]

The technical term is Turtling and it's considered a noob tactic by most >.>

[TheBlueSoup]

no, only those lizard things you find in temple of time, bulbins and a couple of other enemies. u cant do it on those purple things you find in hyrule field though

[DarknessUnleashed96]

What if "GAME OVER" popped-up when Darknut hit the floor.

[cloudkesh]

you'd think darknut would be hungry after being locked up for 20,000000 years....

[GamingFan5000]

Apparently the Darknut knew the Shield Attack, who knew.

[AtomicFlare64]

my absolute favorite mini-boss, nothing beats a good sword fight

[destinycoordinator77]

Agreed.

[thekhorneflake]

i hate wen u fight multiple darknuts in the cave of ordeals. i either use magic armour, or die hideously lol

[IMAWESOMEANDUNOIT]

dude how can you possibly hate that???? my absolute favorite part of that thing is near the end when you fight like 3 really strong ones. i do hate when you have to fight those huge ice things though.

[thekhorneflake]

yea it's fun and all. but i always die.

[TheHellknight12]

did you not notice. he did not lose any health when he was hit. he is a cheat

[darkfire1857]

i like how link puts his sword away after the fight...ive always wondered why he does it only after beating certain enemies...

[DarkPieman]

He only does it after fairly tough fights or using a lot of hidden moves, I've found.

[mofun0]

u can do it after u beat every enemy except hokgoblins nd rats nd enemies dat fly

[mari00123]

at 2:36 i thought he was going to stab his sword to himself
