		+	==Description==
		+
		+	===General===
		+	Ball and Chain troopers also move under incognito of Iron Ball Soldier, this mainly applies to the troopers in FS. These soldiers move around as individuals meaning that you will rarely encounter more than one Trooper per screen. They are not very mobile, but they can reach very far distances with the ball when they throw it around. All Troopers are heavily armored and will take several hits before they are defeated, moreover it is hard to get a close hit when they are swinging the ball around.
		+
		+	===A Link to the Past===
		+	The first time you meet one of these guys is in the same room where [[Princess Zelda]] is being kept captive. The Ball and Chain trooper was specially send down there to guard the key to the cell with his life (literary). The only way to claim it is by defeating it. This could be done very easily just by tossing the pots from the other cell on top of him. Three pots or eight sword slashes with your newly obtained L1 sword. After this mini-boss battle this enemy only appears a few times inside [[Agahnim's Tower]]. In this game the Trooper is also known to be called "Mace Knight".
		+
		+
		+	===Link's Awakening (DX)===
		+	In this game you will meet up with one of these special forces in the [[Kanalet Castle]], he is guarding one of the special [[Golden Leaf\|Golden Leaves]] you need to collect for [[Richard]]. Other than this place BnC Troopers are rarely found in this game.
		+
		+	===Oracle of Ages / Seasons===
		+	BnC troopers appear in some of the later dungeons in both games. They even start to appear on the overworld in some sections. The sprite of the trooper is basically the version of used in LA DX. Some examples of places where you meet BnC trooper in each game:
		+
		+	'''OoA:''' The [[Ancient Tomb]] (level 8) has one craftily placed on a icy floor. Making it very hard for you to destroy it if you don't have the [[Snowshoe Ring]] equipped. The last part of [[Veran's Tower]] featured a few BnC troopers as well.
		+
		+	'''OoS:''' Some BnC troopers appeared on the world map as well in this game, for example there is one just in front of [[Onox's Castle]] and also a few close to the [[Ancient Ruins]] (Level 6) dungeon.
		+
		+	===Four Swords===
		+	Since the dungeons are made up randomly it is hard to mention some locations. Although one appears in the only non-random tutorial dungeon: [[Chamber of Insights]].
		+
		+	The main characteristics of this soldier is that it has a golden armor and is also somewhat taller than the others. Once again this enemy can only be defeated when it isn't swinging the ball around in circles.
		+
		+	===The Minish Cap===
		+	Ball & Chain Soldier makes another appearance in this game as well.
		+
		+
		+	==Miscellaneous Notes==
		+	The Ball and Chain trooper is sometimes also referred to as the "Iron Ball Soldier". The are exactly the same type of enemy so it is basically the same as a trooper.
