Darknuts are basically kind of "free" in Wind Waker with parries and boomerang spam and the like but actually their armor does take damage, shown here with a horizontal Skull Hammer swing. (Vertical hits their helmet which is invulnerable to all but a sword parry.) I'm not sure entirely how it works; their armor seems to have their own health bar, however they take some residual damage after their armor is destroyed it seems. Either way this enables a pretty fun Skull Hammer only run. (Although it should be noted that you can still hit their weak point with the Skull Hammer to immediately destroy their armor.)
