Block

Blocks which can be pushed around are an important element in the The Legend of Zelda series. Block pushing puzzles appear in every Zelda game. Blocks are used for getting to higher ledges, and to keep a switch on by pushing it on top of the switch.

The Cane of Somaria can creates blocks that Link can push and sometimes can be carried around in A Link to the Past and Oracle of Ages. Only a single block can be created at a time.

Some Key Blocks appear in Link's Awakening, Oracle of Seasons, The Minish Cap, Oracle of Ages, Four Swords Adventures, and Phantom Hourglass. These blocks will stop Link's progress through Dungeons and paths, and they can only be opened by using a small key (or the Ghost Key in Phantom Hourglass).

Some blocks in Ocarina of Time bear the same Gerudo Symbol that appears on the Mirror Shield. Because of complaints, the crescent-shaped symbol that appears in early version of Ocarina of Time is replaced in later versions by a different symbol. The blue blocks that have a Symbol of Time designed on it can be removed and bring back by playing the "Song of Time."
