Location and Uses

The Wind Waker

---

---

Trapdoors are used by Rats in the Jail Maze. If Link crawls onto one, a nearby Rat will use a bell pull to activate the Trapdoor, ejecting Link out to the northwestern end of Windfall Island.

Four Swords Adventures

Trapdoors are indistinguishable from normal ground until activated, at which point they become Holes leading to lower levels.

The variant found in the Cave of No Return activates when a Link steps within its area, while the variant in The Field Shadow Battle arena is activated using a Star Tile.

Phantom Hourglass

---

---

Trapdoors appear in the Temple of Fire. Trapdoors appear as black squares on a hanging Map inside the Dungeon.
