Mine | {{Plural|Series|Mine Cart}}, simple vessels with wheels, appear mostly in {{Plural|Series|Dungeon|link}} (usually fire- or mine-themed) and certain {{Plural|Series|Mini-Game|link}}. They are essential to the navigation of the {{Plural|Series|Dungeon}} in which they appear, as they are often able to break open doors that {{Term|Series|Link|link}} cannot. {{Plural|Series|Mine Cart}} always run automatically along a defined track, though {{Plural|Series|Switch|link}} that alter the {{Term|Series|Mine Cart|display=Cart}}'s path can often be found near the tracks. In all its appearances except in {{TMC}}, {{Term|Series|Link}} can use his {{Plural|Series|Item|link}} while riding in the {{Term|Series|Mine Cart|display=Cart}}, either to defeat {{Plural|Series|Enemy|link}} or to flip the {{Term|Series|Switch}} that will change the {{Term|Series|Mine Cart|display=Cart}}'s path. | ||

They are heavily featured in {{Plural|OoS|Dungeon|link}} throughout the games. On occasion, gates will block the {{Term|OoS|Mine Cart|display=Cart}}'s path, which can be lifted by a nearby {{Term|OoS|Switch|link}}. {{Plural|OoS|Mine Cart}} are featured in the {{Term|OoS|Gnarled Root Dungeon|link}}, the {{Term|OoS|Dancing Dragon Dungeon|link}}, the {{Term|OoS|Unicorn's Cave|link}} and the {{Term|OoS|Sword & Shield Maze|link}} in {{OoS|-}}; and in the {{Term|OoA|Wing Dungeon|link}} and the {{Term|OoA|Skull Dungeon|link}} in {{OoA|-}}. | ||

The object of the game is to hit crystal-like targets using the {{Term|OoA|Seed Shooter|link}} while riding in a {{Term|OoA|Mine Cart}}.<ref>{{Cite|Welcome to Target Carts!

Compared to its other appearances, the {{Plural|TMC|Mine Cart}} in this game travel at an extremely high velocity, practically flinging {{Term|TMC|Link|link}} out of the {{Term|TMC|Mine Cart|display=Cart}} when it comes to a stop. Since {{Term|TMC|Link}} must hold on to the {{Term|TMC|Mine Cart|display=Cart}} with both hands to avoid being thrown out, he cannot use his {{Plural|TMC|Item}} while riding in the one. Occasionally, {{Plural|TMC|Mine Cart}} are found flipped upside-down, and must be righted using the {{Term|TMC|Cane of Pacci|link}}. | ||

Contrarily, {{Term|TMC|Ezlo}} does not share {{Term|TMC|Link}}'s humor.<ref>{{Cite|Sweet jumping jellyfish, that was awful! Hey, kid, what are you smiling about?

{{ST}} | The {{Plural|ST|Mine Cart}} of {{ST|-}} have no wheels and run on one single rail, therefore they are more of a monorail than a conventional {{Term|ST|Mine Cart}}. When the {{Term|ST|Mine Cart|display=Cart}} reaches the end of its track, it will dump {{Term|ST|Link|link}} out, causing him to fall face-first to the ground. | ||
{{Plural|ST|Mine Cart}} are featured heavily in the {{Term|ST|Fire Temple|link}}, where they are the centerpiece of a puzzle on the final floor of the {{Term|ST|Dungeon|link}}, where the {{Term|ST|Boss Key|link}} is obtained. {{Plural|ST|Switch|link}} that alter the {{Term|ST|Mine Cart|display=Cart}}'s tracks are flipped by using {{Plural|ST|Arrow|link}} or the {{Term|ST|Boomerang|link}},<ref>{{Cite|Jump in the cart and keep an arrow ready for when you find the switch.|Gossip Stone|ST}}</ref> the only weapons {{Term|ST|Link}} is able to use while riding in the {{Term|ST|Mine Cart|display=Cart}}. The {{Term|ST|Mine Cart}} is also essential to defeating the {{Term|ST|Dungeon}}'s {{Term|ST|Boss|link}}, {{Term|ST|Cragma|link}}. | |||
The {{Term|ST|Mine Cart}} also appears in a part of the {{Term|ST|Pirate Hideout|link}} {{Term|ST|Mini-Game}}, where {{Term|ST|Link}} must rescue a prisoner kept within the hideout while fighting off {{Plural|ST|Miniblins|link}} coming in on their own {{Plural|ST|Mine Cart}}. | |||
