Iron Knuckle

Iron Knuckle is a boss actor in Ocarina of Time.

← All actors

Placement

The high byte is its switch flag (0xFF = none): pre-set means it never spawns, and its death sets it. Engaging any Iron Knuckle swaps in the mini-boss music.

Variants (4)

This actor is placed in one of these forms. Pick it from the editor's Variant dropdown. The value is what the actor's parameters store. Each picture is fitted to its cell, so compare the stated sizes and not the images.

	Value	Variant
	0	Nabooru (cutscene — broken when placed)~64 units tallLow byte 0 is the Nabooru cutscene variant — placed fresh it renders NOTHING and waits for cutscene cues forever; on a save past her fight it never spawns, and beating it rewrites Nabooru quest flags. Use 1 (rises from a statue when approached) or 2/3 (already active).
	1	Knuckle (Pale)~72 units tall

Actors that share a number are linked: when one sets it, every actor reading it reacts. Flags 0 to 31 are saved with the game, 32 to 55 reset when you leave the scene, and 56 to 63 reset on every room change. Pick a number nothing else in this scene uses unless you mean to link them. The panel's link list shows who shares it.
