Guardians are enemies from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. They are incredibly powerful enemies that inhabit the Silent Realms. There are two types of Guardians: walking ones with an enormous club-like weapon and flying ones with two smaller sword-like weapons. The more common flying Guardians will constantly float towards Link through all obstacles, requiring no line of sight to see him. Though fairly slow, they will eventually surround Link through numbers and determination. Walking Guardians remain in place until Link comes within a moderate distance, where they shall proceed to chase Link at a speed slightly slower than Link's sprint, however it is faster than Link's walk.
