==Overview==
Levers commonly exist in dungeons across the Zelda universe; in their simplest form, they yield an open passageway when pulled. In {{ALttP}}, {{LA}}, {{OoA}}, and {{OoS}} it is quite commonplace to see two levers in the same room, one of which activates a door, yields a key, reveals a passageway, et cetera, while the other acts as a roof drop - once the latter is pulled, a large amount of enemies fall from the ceiling. In {{OoS|-}} and {{OoA|-}}, and unlike the other versions, the "real Lever" and the "monster Lever" will randomly switch function, making choosing the "real Lever" a matter of luck, whenever two such levers exist in the same room. Such pull levers exist in {{FSA}} as well, however some must be pulled with the strength of all four Links, instead of just one. Levers often open a new path for Link to access an item. However, some of these are timed, and will deactivate if Link takes too long to reach the effect of the pull lever.
Pull levers are sometimes hidden under debris piles in {{TP}}, requiring [[Wolf Link]] to dig them up. These levers could be grappled with the [[Clawshot]] to pull them across dangerous flooring. The pulleys in {{PH}} and {{ST}} can be pulled with the [[Grappling Hook]] and  the [[Whip]], respectively, and will sometimes slowly retract back into the wall as a visual indicator of how much time remains before their effects expire. However, the statued incarnations in {{ST|-}} incorporate a pull lever that can be completely removed from its statue and placed in another. Unique to {{PH|-}} and {{ST|-}}, when multiple switches are found they must be pulled in the correct order. Like in {{ALttP|-}}, and especially in {{ST|-}}, pull levers are sometimes disguised as statue tongues.

{{Plural|TMC|Lever}} appear in {{Plural|TMC|Dungeon|link}} in {{TMC}}, and pulling them will often produce a {{Term|TMC|Small Key|link}}, extend a bridge, or make an {{Term|TMC|Enemy|link}} appear. One {{Term|TMC|Lever}} appears in the {{Term|TMC|Figurine Gallery|link}} in {{Term|TMC|Hyrule Town|link}}; after {{Term|TMC|Link|link}} trades a number of {{Plural|TMC|Mysterious Shell|link}} to {{Term|TMC|Carlov|link}}, pulling the {{Term|TMC|Lever}} will deposit an egg containing a {{Term|TMC|Figurine|link}} from the {{Term|TMC|Figure-Dispensing Machine|link}}.


The '''Pull Lever''' is an tangible object often encountered throughout [[Link]]'s journeys, often opening a new path for Link or access to an item or dungeon [[key]]. However, many of these [[switch]]es are timed, and will deactivate if Link takes too long to reach the effect of the pull lever.

Levers commonly exist in dungeons across the Zelda universe; in their simplest form, they yield an open passageway when pulled. In {{ALttP}}, {{LA}}, {{OoA}}, and {{OoS}} it is quite commonplace to see two levers in the same room, one of which activates a door, yields a key, reveals a passageway, et cetera, while the other acts as a roof drop - once the latter is pulled, a large amount of enemies fall from the ceiling. In the ''Oracle'' titles, and unlike the other versions, the "Real Lever" and the "Monster Lever" will randomly switch function, making choosing the "Real Lever" a matter of luck, whenever two such levers exist in the same room. Such pull levers exist in {{FSA}} as well, however some must be pulled with the strength of all four Links, instead of just one.


Pull levers are sometimes hidden under debris piles in {{TP}}, requiring [[Wolf Link]] to dig them up. These levers could be grappled with the [[Clawshot]] to pull them across dangerous flooring. The pulleys in {{PH}} and {{ST}} can be pulled with the [[Grappling Hook]] and  the [[Whip]], respectively, and will sometimes slowly retract back into the wall as a visual indicator of how much time remains before their effects expire. However, the statued incarnations in ''Spirit Tracks'' incorporate a pull lever that can be completely removed from its statue and placed in another. Unique to ''Phantom Hourglass'' and ''Spirit Tracks'', when multiple switches are found they must be pulled in the correct order. Like in ''A Link to the Past'', and especially in ''Spirit Tracks'', pull levers are sometimes disguised as statue tongues.
