Floor Switch

Template:Object Floor Switches are recurring objects in The Legend of Zelda series.

Location and Uses

Floor Switches normally take the form of a large button or plate, which can be activated by being stepped on by Link, or sometimes by placing a heavy object on top. Some Floor Switches are less sensitive than others. Some Rusty or malfunctioning switches may need to be forced with the Megaton Hammer or similar item.

Ocarina of Time

Template:Sectstub In Ocarina of Time, Link has to carry Princess Ruto with him to depress it or weigh himself down with Iron Boots.

Majora's Mask

Template:Sectstub In Majora's Mask, Deku Link is notably too light to depress some switches.

Breath of the Wild

In Breath of the Wild, Floor Switches can be distinguished if they stay pressed once activated or need to be held down. This is indicated by the latches on the border of the Switch.
