Whirling Scythes are traps found exclusively in the Shadow Temple of Ocarina of Time.
These traps are found in large open rooms and rotate in a counter-clockwise fashion. These traps cannot be defeated and will cause harm to Link if he is hit by the rotating scythes. Link is able to avoid the scythe attacks by holding his Shield and crouching down, in which the scythes will pass right over his head. The scythes do move slow enough where Link can avoid them if he is constantly moving in the same direction that the scythes are rotating. However, there are sometimes obstacles in the way, preventing Link from completing the path.
Very similar traps known as Ice Blades are encountered in the Ice Cavern.
