Blade Traps are formidable, mechanized obstacles equipped with spikes or blades. They come in a variety of types and are always impervious to all attacks, with some either staying dormant until approached, and others moving in a set path.
{{Plural|Series|Blade Trap}} are formidable, mechanized obstacles equipped with spikes or blades. They come in a variety of types and are almost always impervious to all attacks, with some staying dormant until approached and others moving in a set path. {{Plural|Series|Blade Trap}} are common as dormant obstacles in titles such as {{TLoZ}}, {{LA}}, {{OoS}}, and {{OoA}}. Upon crossing the path of a {{Term|Series|Blade Trap}}, whether vertical or horizontal, it will react instantly by closing in rapidly on {{Term|Series|Link|link}}. Contact with a {{Term|Series|Blade Trap}} damages {{Term|Series|Link}}; after being set off, they will slowly return to their original position.


Blade Traps as dormant obstacles are common to the 2D games, in titles such as {{TLoZ}}, {{LA}}, {{OoS}}, and {{OoA}}. Generally speaking, upon crossing the path of a Blade Trap, whether vertical or horizontal, the trap will react instantly by closing in rapidly on the intruder. Contact with a Blade Trap damages [[Link]] (usually one [[Heart]] by default) and may prove deadly in some circumstances. After being set off, they will slowly return to their original position.
Other {{Plural|Series|Blade Trap}}, such as those in {{OoT}} and {{MM}}, glide along a projected path. These {{Plural|Series|Blade Trap}} move along the ground regardless of {{Term|Series|Link}}'s presence, at a constant speed. The paths of these {{Plural|Series|Blade Trap|display=Traps}} vary; some move from one side to the next, while others move in a complete circle.


Other Blade Traps glide along a projected path, specifically those in {{OoT}} and {{MM}}, but also appears in some 2D games as well, such as {{ALttP}}. These Blade Traps move along the ground, regardless of Link's presence, at the same constant speed, competing for space. The path of these traps vary; with some either moving from one side to the next, and others moving in a complete circle.
Other, although much less common, types of {{Plural|Series|Blade Trap}} have also appeared throughout the series. {{ALttP|-}} and {{OoS|-}} and {{OoA|-}} introduced giant versions of {{Plural|Series|Blade Trap}}, which move in a set path around the room and take up large amounts of space.

In {{TP}}, a stone model used in the [[Arbiter's Grounds (Twilight Princess)|Arbiter's Grounds]] and a gilded model used in the [[Temple of Time (Twilight Princess)|Temple of Time]] appear, both of which appear as obstacles that move along the [[Spinner]] rails. The boss of Arbiter's Grounds, [[Stallord]], makes great use of them in its boss battle. These Blade Traps are the only kind that can be destroyed, as the [[Dominion Rod]] may be used to bring a nearby statue to life, consequently smashing the trap in question with its ax.

Blade Traps,(LA)[1] also known simply as Traps,(TLoZ)[2][3] are recurring traps in The Legend of Zelda series.

Characteristics

Template:TLoZManual

Blade Traps are formidable, mechanized obstacles equipped with spikes or blades. They come in a variety of types and are almost always impervious to all attacks, with some staying dormant until approached and others moving in a set path. Blade Traps are common as dormant obstacles in titles such as The Legend of Zelda, Link's Awakening, Oracle of Seasons, and Oracle of Ages. Upon crossing the path of a Blade Trap, whether vertical or horizontal, it will react instantly by closing in rapidly on Link. Contact with a Blade Trap damages Link; after being set off, they will slowly return to their original position.

Other Blade Traps, such as those in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, glide along a projected path. These Blade Traps move along the ground regardless of Link's presence, at a constant speed. The paths of these Traps vary; some move from one side to the next, while others move in a complete circle.

Other, although much less common, types of Blade Traps have also appeared throughout the series. A Link to the Past and Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages introduced giant versions of Blade Traps, which move in a set path around the room and take up large amounts of space. Similar traps called Chasers appear in Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages, Four Swords and The Minish Cap; they are sentient bladed traps that will follow Link down narrow corridors once he is within their line of vision.
