Phantom Riders are enemies from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. They are ghostly entities that are summoned by Ganondorf during the penultimate battle. These conjurations are horseback riders who attempt to ram Link while he is riding Epona. Phantom Riders can be defeated with a sword, but since Ganondorf is the primary target, it is arguable that the better strategy is to simply out-pace and out-maneuver them, since they vanish shortly after they appear, regardless.
