Castle Guard

The Castle Guards are a heavy defense spearmen unit of the Kingdom of Hyrule.

History
Castle Guards took watch over the royal Castle of Hyrule and other locations of utmost importance. Armed with a long spear and trusty shield, they could hold the line against cavalry charges of all kinds and repel enemy arrow fire.

Role: Heavy Defense Spearmen
With their heavy shield and spear, Castle Guards were the go to choice to halt enemy charges, particularly cavalry. When marching close to other soldiers, they could cover armies from arrow fire as well. Their slow speed made them rather weak as an offensive unit and exposed in extended melee, so often they were resorted to purely defensive roles.
