The Yiga Footsoldier is the common grunt of the Yiga Clan, an agile assassin with a sickle or a bow. With only 64 to 72 health it falls quickly, but it likes to catch you off guard. Many pose as ordinary travelers until they strike. Shield parries and headshots make them easy to handle.

Where to find it
Footsoldiers ambush you across Hyrule, often appearing from a disguise as a traveler or villager. Archers also stand guard inside the Yiga Clan Hideout in the Gerudo Highlands.
How to beat it
Spot the ambush
Be suspicious of strangers who approach you directly. Back away and keep your weapon ready.
Parry and counter
Footsoldiers rush in quickly. Dodge sideways for a flurry rush or parry the swing, then hit back with a combo.
Go for the head
A headshot with an arrow stuns a Footsoldier, and its low health means one strong combo usually finishes it.
Drops
- Green, Blue, Red and Purple Rupees
Mighty Bananas- Their Vicious Sickle or Duplex Bow
