Floormasters are enemies in some Legend of Zelda games

Ocarina of Time

Floormasters are enemies in the game The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. They take the form of dead hands with clawlike fingernails.

Floormasters are rather difficult to defeat at first. When a Floormaster is attacked it will separate into three mini-Floormasters. They need to be destroyed before they unite. If a smaller monster manages to grab the player after two are destroyed, it turns into a new Floormaster. The spin attack or Din's Fire is especially useful as mini-Floormasters tend to blindly run into Link after retreating. If a Floormaster turns green, it is invincible. Link will need to stay away from it until it goes back to its normal color, or defend himself with his shield. Some Floormasters are invisible, so Link needs the Lens of Truth to see them, disabling the use of the spin attack or Din's Fire.

They are related to the Wallmaster, a giant hand that dwells on the ceiling.

Majora's Mask

Floormasters appear in this game too, in Ikana's castle. In this game the sunlight is their major weakness and will be harmed upon contact. They can be also beaten by reflecting light via the Mirror Shield onto them.

The Wind Waker

In The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, they are black hands with a violet glow around them. They reside in small holes on the floors of the Earth and Wind Temples, but are also found in smaller, mini-dungeons throughout the Great Sea (such as on Needle Rock Isle). There is one in the Forsaken Fortress as well. However, these holes are different - they move, wiggle, and perpetually suck inward as would a black hole. Their personality according to their figurine is surprisingly lonely.

A Floormaster's attack in this game is very similar to the Wallmaster's attack in The Ocarina of Time. They will try to grab Link and take him to a previous room, this will also happen to a partner. However, you will be able to see the Floormaster's hole before you are attacked. They can also pick up nearby objects and throw them at Link, including bombs you drop.

The Minish Cap

In The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, they are Large blue glowing hands. waiting long enough in a room that they are in may result in them coming after you. they don't have very many attacks, and there are also wallmasters.
