The Crystal Switch makes its debut in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]''. These switches are similar in appearance to a crystal ball. Crystal Switches control how the color-matched block obstacles in the dungeon floors move. When it is red, the red blocks fall down and a pathway is revealed. When it turns blue, the blue blocks fall into square holes in the floor. This allows Link to walk forward across them.
