Large Block
Large Blocks,(FSA)[1] also known as Big Blocks,(FS)[2] are recurring Objects in The Legend of Zelda series. Large Blocks go unnamed in The Minish Cap and Tri Force Heroes.
Location and Uses
Four Swords
Four Swords Adventures
The Minish Cap
Large Blocks appear in three sizes in The Minish Cap, and require multiple Links to move them (at least two Links are needed to move a 2 x 2 Large Block, at least three are needed to move a 3 x 3 Large Block, and four are needed to move a 4 x 4 Large Block). To do this, Link must be able to copy himself on Flashing Spots on the Floor; the White Sword (Two Elements), White Sword (Three Elements), and Four Sword allow him to create copies of himself (one copy, two copies, and three copies respectively). As long as the original Link is making direct contact with a Large Block and each space along one side of the Large Block is covered by the Links, it can be pushed like a normal Block.
Tri Force Heroes
Large Blocks in Tri Force Heroes are metal cubes that can only be moved when all three Links push and/or pull on them together. One appears in Stage 3 of the Forest Temple, where the Links must push it to the north to reach the Stage's final pathway, then optionally push it to the east to shield themselves from a set of Arrow Traps pointed toward them. Another one appears in Stage 3 of the Fire Temple, where Lava Geysers shoot upward through a grated metal floor. The Links must navigate the Large Block to the other end of the Stage where a Lava Geyser blasts it into the air, allowing them to reach a Shock Switch that lowers a drawbridge to the Triforce Gateway.
In a single-player game where only one of the Links' movements can be controlled at a time, the metal Large Blocks are replaced by lighter, wooden versions that can be pushed by a single Link.
