===A Link to the Past===
===A Link to the Past===
[[File:Blade-Trap-1.png|left]]In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', Blade Traps first appear within the [[Dark Palace (A Link to the Past)|Dark Palace]]. Unlike their ''The Legend of Zelda'' counterparts, the Blade Traps in ''A Link to the Past'' move by themselves, not needing to be triggered by Link's movements. Often times they appear in bunches, just moving horizontally back and forth in a small room. Link can often times push blocks or hit [[Crystal Switch]]es, causing blocks to rise and changing the area in which the Blade Traps can reach.

Blade Traps cannot be defeated and they are usually just obstacles that Link needs to get by. In some cases, such as within [[Ganon's Tower (A Link to the Past)|Ganon's Tower]], there are tons of Blade Traps in a particular room. Link can use the [[Magic Cape]] to safely sneak by these traps as they will not be able to harm Link when the Cape is being worn. If Link does get hit by one of these traps, he loses a full heart in damage.

Blade Traps can be found in dungeons around [[Koholint Island]]. They have the same function as they did in ''The Legend of Zelda'', and can be jumped over with [[Roc's Feather]].

===Ocarina of Time===
===Ocarina of Time===
These spiked obstacles are invulnerable and come in two varieties: ones that move in a set path and ones that ambush you if Link gets close. Either way, they cannot be defeated, so just wait for them to get on the far side of you and sneak past. In some puzzles, Link can use blocks or statues to put in their path so they don't 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]].

Unlike most of the other traps, this one does not slow down and retract. It continuously goes back and forth, making it a bit more difficult to pass, similar to the ones from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' except faster.

===Four Swords===
===Four Swords===
The Blade Traps found in ''Four Swords'' are very similar to other appearances. They only dash out at Link when he crosses their path, the kind that follows a set path is not present. Another enemy, similar to Blade Traps, can retract its blades when in rest. The latter enemy comes in two kinds: those that dash out at Link when he crosses their path, and those that chase him until he loses it, e.g. by placing a bush between Link and the blade. All the varieties are found throughout most of the stages; however, the [[Hero's Trial]] (in the Anniversary Edition) makes abundant use of them.

===Twilight Princess===
===Twilight Princess===
Blade Traps appear in the [[Temple of Time (Dungeon)|Temple of Time]]. They are very similar to their other appearances because they are basically a moving obstacle. However, this is the first and only time that they are destructible. By taking control of the huge statue and its hammer, one swing obliterates a Blade Trap.

===Trivia===
* Observing the [[Blade Trap]] after merging with a wall allows players to see that the Blade Trap is not actually on the ground, but levitating above.
