Them Soldiers Are Lazy

Guards wear armor also. The Hyrule Knights have more important things to do then guard Castle Town and Hyrule Castle. All of which could be done by guards.

I don't think this belongs in theorizing. Apparently they left it to Impa to keep Zelda safe, while they remained at the Castle, and kept his Majesty and whatever noblemen/women were there safe.

i think the king might have been killed so that the guards were to busy to give chase, plus one of the towns people did notice him so brainwashing is less likely.

or maybe gannondorf killed all or most of the guards and thats why they didn't chase after him.

There's so much in these games that we don't see... but we're just supposed to imagine it happened.

they are lazy..all you ever see them do is stand or walk around.
And the ones in Tp Telmas bar are great chickens^-^

I think they were way too scared of Ganondorf.
Unlike Link who would be brave (sometimes even stupid) enough to risk his neck for
Anyone!

I agree with the 'theory' that the guards didn't know what was going on. After all, Ganondorf was a vassal of the king, I believe.

I'm just saying that there's no real reason for the guards to give chase, when Ganondorf was not an enemy.

We'll never really know what Ganondorf was planning. He obviously wanted the Ocarina of Time, and the Spiritual stones. Zelda left, and things in Hyrule were relatively normal, until Ganondorf started taking over while link was encased in the sacred realm. You can travel back and forth, but can't really get 'into' that 7 year timespan.

I think that the soldiers should be replaced by more competent race. Wouldn't it be cool to have gorons guarding the castle on land? If an enemy comes, all they have to do is roll at him. Maybe some Zoras could be guards in the castle moat. If an intruder comes close to the door, a Zora could sneak attack 'em. I don't quite see that happening but that would be more effective.

The soldier did do something, in OOT right before you go to the master sword you'll find a dying soldier in the back alley, so they obviously did put up resistence, they just lost and Impa used that time to escape with Zelda.

because they dont care they just do it to get payed

Ya I agree, she's lucky she had Impa. All they do is guard the castle and they don't even do a very good job of that either.
