The '''King's Lackeys''''<ref name=IgosTatl>{{cite|Stick with using the basic target methods while defending. ...He's a different rank than those other two lackeys, though...|Tatl|Majora's Mask}}</ref> fighting style is very similar to that of the [[Stalfos]] in {{OoT}}. To defeat them, Link must burn the drapes that block the windows with [[Fire Arrow]]s, letting the light in. He must cripple them with basic sword techniques and then reflect a beam of light on them with the [[Mirror Shield]] when they are lying on the floor in order to completely destroy their bodies. Note that the [[Bremen Mask]] is capable of confusing the soldiers to humorous effect, causing them to march ceremoniously, as well as giving a more than generous opening to attack and kill one of the soldiers (provided Link possesses the [[Swords of Majora's Mask#Gilded Sword|Gilded Sword]] or the [[Swords of Majora's Mask#Great Fairy's Sword|Great Fairy's Sword]]).

===The King of Ikana===
When fighting the King himself, he can take off his head and chase Link while the rest of his body keeps attacking with the Sword. Link must watch out for the head when it comes off, as there is no way to counter it. If the flying head attaches to Link, it will latch on to his face, taking [[Heart]]s away. Igos du Ikana can also breathe purple flames as a mid-range attack. When he falls down on the ground, Link must shine the light on him using his [[Mirror Shield]] to defeat him.
{{ImageCaption|image=File:Igosduikana.png|size=120px|align=right|caption=Official artwork|captionalign=center}}For Igos, Link should fight him in a similar way, attacking him several times right when he's about to attack. Igos can take off his head and chase Link while the rest of his body keeps attacking with the sword. Link must watch out for the head when it comes off, as there is no known way to counter it (rolling around with the Goron Mask can almost always avoid it, providing spikes are up). If the flying head attaches to Link, it will latch on to his face, taking hearts away in a very similar way to that of the [[ReDead]] and [[Gibdo]] in ''Majora's Mask'' and ''Ocarina of Time''; thus, the best strategy is to try to avoid the head until it comes back to its body, which can easily be done by rolling in a large circle as [[Goron Link]]. Igos also can breathe deep purple flames as his mid-range attack. Then, when he falls down on the ground, Link must shine the light on him using his [[Mirror Shield]] to defeat him.  


Both Igos and his lackeys back away and will not attack when Link steps into one of the rays of light. If the young hero wears the [[Captain's Hat]] while fighting Igos du Ikana (or runs up to him with it while fighting the others), he will mistake Link for [[Captain Keeta]] in a humorous cutscene, but then quickly realize that it is a mask.<ref>{{cite|Ohhh!

The two lackeys make their first appearance beside the King's throne. The First Lackey appears to Igos' left; he has a rounder, sturdier bone structure and a deep, growling voice. The Second Lackey has a narrower, leaner bone structure and a whiny, higher pitched voice. They wield impressive swords and are adorned with military headdress. After their defeat, their glowing, disembodied heads have a humorous argument reminiscent of [[Twinrova]]'s from ''Ocarina of Time''. When Igos angrily interrupts them, they shrink into nothingness.
