Lever Switch

The Pull Lever is an item often encountered throughout Link's journeys, often opening a new path for Link or allowing him access to an item. However, many of these switches are timed, and will deactivate if Link takes too long reaching his goal.

A Link to the Past
Pull Levers first appeared in A Link to the Past, serving the afore mentioned function.

Link's Awakening
Pull Levers also appeared in Link's Awakening. These Levers were most commonly found in Eagle's Tower.

Oracle series
Pull Levers returned in the Oracle series. However, some Levers are not beneficial here and will result in a group of monsters falling from the ceiling. This is encountered in places where there is more than one Lever in a room. The "Real Lever" and the "Monster Lever" will randomly switch function, making choosing the "Real Lever" a matter of luck.

Twilight Princess
Pull Levers made their first 3D appearance in Twilight Princess, serving the same goal as ever. Here, they were depicted as a long chain with a handle. These chains were also attached to Fyrus, and were used to pull him off of his feet.
