Green Sword Soldier

For The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past on the Super Nintendo (SNES).

From the official guides

Soldiers carry all kinds of weapons, but at heart they are all the same. Stop them first, then attack with the sword to beat them safely. When they come in a group, use magic.

A soldier who walks around Hyrule Castle and the Light World. When it spots Link it toddles toward him. Throw things from the ground at it and it goes down easily.
