"These characters block Link's path. Thump them once on the head and then move on."
Moles are recurring traps in The Legend of Zelda series.
A Link to the Past
Moles first appear within the Dark Palace. They are stationary barriers that block Link from progressing onward. These Moles sometimes block off nearby ledges, pathways within rooms, or large Treasure Chests. Link cannot do anything to get by these barriers initially, but once he acquires the Magic Hammer, he can pound on these Moles. Once a Mole has been hit with the hammer, Link will be able to walk on the block where the Mole previously stood.
Four Swords Adventures
Like A Link to the Past, Moles appear in several areas and dungeons. The Links can push them downward using the Hammer. They will remain pushed down until they exit the screen.
A Link Between Worlds
The Mole makes another appearance in A Link Between Worlds. It is very similar to that in the first game but the effects of the Hammer are now temporary. If Link is standing when the Mole resurfaces, he will be propelled, often to a platform. This means that the Mole itself is used primarily for puzzles rather than as a true enemy.

Trivia
- The method of defeating a Mole could very well be an ode to the Whac-A-Mole arcade machine, since it requires use of the Magic Hammer.
