'''Floor Spikes''',<ref>{{Cite|I don't think you can get through these floor spikes, Link. Leave it to me! I'll figure something out!|Princess Zelda|ST}}</ref> also known as '''Spiked Floors''',<ref>{{Cite|1/2 damage from spiked floors|Red Luck Ring description|OoX}}</ref> are recurring traps in {{TLoZ|Series}}.

In {{ALttP}}, Floor Spikes can be avoided by using the [[Magic Cape]], as [[Link]] can walk right over them with no harm done. The Magic Cape is necessary to obtain the [[Cane of Byrna]], as it is preceded by a number of Floor Spikes that Link would be unable to traverse safely otherwise.

{{Sectstub|LA}}

In {{OoT}}, many Floor Spikes are found inside the [[Water Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Water Temple]], typically blocking passage until the water level rises. In the [[Shadow Temple]], certain Floor Spikes are invisible, requiring that Link use the [[Lens of Truth]] in order to see them. The [[Hover Boots]] can also be used to walk above spikes, momentarily avoiding damage, while the [[Goron Tunic]] causes Link to take damage less frequently from them.

[[File:OoS LinkCarryingDodongo.png|thumb|right|Link tossing Dodongo into a Spiked Floor in {{OoS|-}}]]

In {{OoS}}, in order to defeat [[Dodongo]], the boss from [[Snake's Remains]], Link must toss it to the Spiked Floor found in the center of the room after stunning it with a [[Bomb]].

In {{TWW}}, Floor Spikes appear in the [[Forsaken Fortress]] and the [[Wind Temple]], though in the former they are unable to damage Link and serve only to obstruct his path. In both [[Dungeon]]s, the spikes can usually be retracted once a certain puzzle is solved or all enemies in the area have been defeated.

{{Sectstub|TMC}}

In {{TP}}, Floor Spikes appear within the [[Arbiter's Grounds (Twilight Princess)|Arbiter's Grounds]], where they emerge from holes in the floor only when Link draws near enough. Several of their locations are also concealed by [[Quicksand]], making it difficult to judge their position and maneuver around them. When they are above the ground, however, Link is able to destroy them permanently using Bombs.

==={{PH|-}} and {{ST|-}}===

In {{PH}} and {{ST}}, Floor Spikes appear inside numerous Dungeons, where they serve to impede Link's progress and will damage him on contact. Link can usually deactivate them by defeating enemies and solving puzzles. In both games, [[Phantom]]s are able to move over Floor Spikes without injury due to their heavy armor. As such, [[Princess Zelda]] can also harness this immunity when she gains the ability to possess Phantoms in {{ST|-}}, and use it to cross over the spikes and help solve puzzles normally out of Link's reach.

{{PH|-}} also introduces spikes that move up and down intermittently, so that Link must be quick to pass over them safely during their brief periods of inactivity.

[[File:Gust Bellows SS.png|thumb|right|200px|Floor Spikes in {{SS|-}}]]

In {{SS}}, Floor Spikes appear within a single room inside the [[Lanayru Mining Facility]], where they are stealthily concealed by large amounts of sand. They activate quickly when Link draws near, similar to {{TP|-}}. This requires Link to work his way through the mazelike room by using the [[Gust Bellows]] to blow away the sand and find a safe path.

In {{TFH}}, Floor Spikes appear in the [[Frozen Plateau]] level of the [[Drablands]]. Here, fireballs can be bounced across them using the [[Fire Gloves]], which is used to light torches and defeat enemies that are otherwise out of reach.

In {{BotW}}, Floor Spikes can usually be found around some enemy camps. They block Link's path alongside enemies, damaging him on contact. Spikes are usually made of wood, thus, they can be burned with [[Fire Arrow]]s, an elemental weapon, or any other fire source.
