Vassals

Vassals are servants of King Daltus in The Minish Cap. The Vassal guards mostly stay in Hyrule Castle or in its garden, but some scout in Hyrule Town, Lon Lon Ranch, and North Hyrule Field after Vaati's treachery at Hyrule's sword tournament. The Vassals with the blue stripes guard Hyrule Castle whilst the Vassals with the green stripes patrol Hyrule Town. When Vaati takes over the King, he will order the vassals to search for the Light Force and not allow anyone to pass Hyrule Castle's gates.

Later on, Vaati transforms the castle into Dark Hyrule Castle and turns the vassals to stone. This is their last appearance literally, but they are mentioned by Zelda when Hyrule is restored.
