There is also an enhanced variation of the Stalfos called a Stalmaster, which wields four weapons at once. According to Fi, all Stalfos are undead knights.

Interestingly, the Stalfos in Skyward Sword are depicted wielding two swords, just like the Stalfos from The Legend of Zelda.

The E3 demo of Skyward Sword featured a Stalfos as a hidden mini-boss. By bombing a wall in the demo's starting area, a hidden room could be found containing the Stalfos.
