Armos Series

from Zeldapedia, the Legend of Zelda wiki

An Armos Knight from A Link to the Past

The Armos Series is the collective name for the sword and shield set typically used by Armos Knights. Since the Armos themselves were made by the Minish, it is likely that the Armos Series sword and shield were too.

[edit] Soulcalibur II

Link used these weapons in the Gamecube version of the game Soulcalibur II.

The design for the weapon set was taken from the Armos in the Spirit Temple, in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The set consists of a worn out rock-like shield and a sword. While initially weak, their power and defense increases when Soul Charge is used.

Link can purchase these for 900 gold in chapter 2. It resembles the ovular shield of stone and short sword of the Armos. If Link uses these, his offense is at 100%, his defense at 70%, making it the second worst weapon Link has (the first being the Bug-Catching Net with Hylian Shield). As a side effect, offense increases with soul charge, but soul charge effect slowly decreases. It should be noted that the shield has the worst defense of Link's weapons, which isn't surprising when one considers how easy it is for Link to hurt an Armos, sometimes with only his sword. Strangely, the in game description of the weapon says that they are too heavy for Link and that he cannot use them effectively, but when he uses them he wields them just as well as any of his other weapons.
