From the official guides
The knives Ironknuckle throws are deadly, and the huge horse he rides makes him invincible to Link's attack. Link can make him dismount by jumping and using Downthrust. Once afoot, Ironknuckle is vulnerable.
Astride an unearthly horse, Ironknuckle charges in the final chamber of the Palace. Link jumps at his foe, swings his sword, and discovers that this technique may be the key. Many times the knight thunders toward him, but eventually he dismounts and fights hand to hand.
A knight picked from the kingdom's old royal guard. One of the guardians, he rides a magic flying horse. You cannot beat him while he is on the horse. You have to aim well at his back.
