Flying Tiles are recurring traps in The Legend of Zelda series. They are similar to Flying Jars in that they fly at Link when he nears them, but they are often laid out in patterns.

A Link to the Past

Flying Tiles appear in many dungeons in A Link to the Past. The tiles attack one at a time, and leave some design on the floor once they have all attacked Link.

Link's Awakening

Flying Tiles in Link's Awakening serve a similar purpose as they do in A Link to the Past, but now, occasional sets leave holes in the floor where they originally were.

Ocarina of Time

Flying Tiles are found in the Fire Temple in Ocarina of Time. The floor tiles themselves float up and fly towards Link. They can be destroyed with just about anything, but probably the sword or Deku Nuts work the best. The better alternative is to simply use a shield, or just dodge them.

Oracle of Seasons & Oracle of Ages

In the Oracle series, Flying Tiles are found in dungeons, and function the same way they do in Link's Awakening.

Echoes of Wisdom

"This magical floor tile flies at any who come near. If you stand on top of it, you can briefly fly with it."

— Echoes of Wisdom in-game description

Flying Tiles primarily appear within the Gerudo Desert, either in nearby caves or in the Gerudo Sanctum. They can be easily blocked and defeated by using a solid object to defend against them. This could be a Boulder, or an immovable enemy like a Sea Urchin. Before being destroyed, Zelda can run up to one and quickly collect the Flying Tile Echo.

Flying Tiles are a key part of The Flying Tile Side Quest.
