Blade Trap: Difference between revisions

The '''Blade Trap''' is an inanimate enemy first introduced in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. It has appeared in every game to date with the exception of ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]''.

These traps appear in the corners of some rooms in dungeons. When [[Link]] crosses their path, they fly toward him until they hit each other or another obstacle, then retract to their original position. They cannot be defeated because they are essentially an obstacle.

These spiked obstacles are invulnerable and come in two varieties: ones that move in a set path and ones that ambush Link if he gets close. Either way, they cannot be defeated, so just wait for them to get on the far side of Link and sneak past. In some puzzles, Link can use blocks or statues to put in their path so they do not have much wiggle room. They appear in [[Dodongo's Cavern]], [[Ice Cavern (Ocarina of Time)|Ice Cavern]], [[Water Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Water Temple]], [[Shadow Temple]], [[Spirit Temple]], and [[Ganon's Castle]].

Blades Traps appear and function in the same manner as in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. They are found [[Beneath the Well]].   

There are four different types of Blade Traps featured within ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]''.

These work the same like the traps from ''The Legend of Zelda'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]''.

There are two traps seen in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'', blue and green. They act exactly similarly to the blue and green traps from ''Oracle of Seasons''.

Blade Traps are officially referred to as traps in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]''. The Blue variant follows a motion controlled path and follows Link if he crosses certain points. Green traps travel along a set line and are located only in dungeons.

The Blade Traps featured in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'' can only be encountered when a [[Timeshift Stone]] is activated. These enemies can be found specifically in [[Lanayru Gorge]] when delivering a Timeshift Stone to [[Lanayru (Dragon)|Lanayru]] to learn the [[Song of the Hero]].

The Blade Trap returns in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]'' and functions similarly to those in ''A Link to the Past''. They do not react to Link's movement, but instead move on fixed paths. They make an appearance in the [[Tower of Hera (A Link Between Worlds)|Tower of Hera]] where they can be ignored by merging with the wall. The animation shows the Blade Trap constantly spinning even when it stops moving.
