The Legend of Zelda The Minish Cap Walkthrough part 12
Episode 12: Dashing through Castor Wilds

Now that we're finally done with all those side-quests, we move on with the main quest and explore Castor Wilds.

We also get introduced to a new, but classic enemy, the Darknut. Darknuts can only get hit by the sides or from behind. When Darknuts attack, they are very vulnerable as it takes a few seconds for them to move again. So what I like to do, is to spin around them while being close enough for them to attack. They will most likely miss their attack (as I am rolling around them), giving enough opportunity to hit them. They can also be stunned by bombs, so if you have bombs you might want to use them.
