Flying Tile

Flying Tiles are seemingly possessed floor tiles that will rise up from the ground and hurl themselves at Link. The best way for Link to get past them is to not just dodge them but to place himself in a corner or doorway and destroy them using sword strikes, holding his blade out in defense, or simply by defending with his shield. In A Link to the Past and Oracle of Ages, the Cane of Somaria can be used to create temporary, but effective, barriers to hide behind. In Link's Awakening, Flying Tiles are the primary attack method of Facade, and are common in the dungeon he appears in, the Face Shrine.

In many appearances, the missing tiles leave a formation of a monsterous skull, often similar to the appearance of Ganon. In other games, they will leave behind pits as they appear, which can make progressing through a dungeon extremely difficult if Link does not move quickly or use the Roc's Feather or Roc's Cape.
