Stone Elevator
Stone Elevators are recurring Enemies in The Legend of Zelda series.(LA)[1][name references needed] Stone Elevators go unnamed in Link's Awakening for Nintendo Switch.
Characteristics
Link's Awakening
In Link's Awakening, a Stone Elevator appears in a side-scrolling passageway near the end of the Bottle Grotto. At first, it appears identical to other moving elevators (which either move automatically or drop when Link stands on them), but when stood upon, the Stone Elevator's grimacing face appears as it holds up Link's weight, making it impossible to get past it and progress through the Dungeon to reach the Nightmare. To pass the Elevator, Link must use the Power Bracelet to carry one of the large Jars to be heavy enough to move the Stone Elevator.
Four Swords Adventures
In Four Swords Adventures, a Stone Elevator appears during The Mountain Path Stage, in another sidescrolling area. Unlike its previous incarnation, the face is always visible, and the four Links can move it using their own weight. Rather than blocking the Links' path, it instead drops to make it difficult for them to reach a series of paths on one side of the cave.
Nomenclature
This creature's Japanese name, オシン (Oshin), is a name meaning "patience" or "endurance", and is very similar to that of the Mega Thwomp, ドシン (Doshin), suggesting a relation.
