Block

The block has appeared in nearly every Zelda game to date, each incarnation serving the same purpose - to hinder, to be pushed, or be pulled. In the first Zelda game, Link found blocks in all of the eight dungeons, usually arranged in patterns, with one of the blocks being movable. From then on, the block would be pushed out of the way for a treasure chest or two, as in the "Desert Block Maze" Piece of Heart in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Later, the Cane of Somaria would come along in creating blocks for rooms without them, pots, or Armos Statues. In The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures, there is a cane that can make orange blocks, then when desired, the blocks can burst into four flames shooting out in four different directions.
