An example of the Cracked Tile, in Ocarina of Time.
A Cracked Tile is a common indication of weak construction on a wall or floor; these areas are most susceptible to explosions, often yielding secret passageways or treasures when destroyed. Because of this, the Bomb is considered the best option for dealing with reachable structural cracks, and the Bombchu for cracked tiles far out of Link's reach. If the partially destroyed appearance is not enough to suggest vulnerability, the Cracked Tiles make a stark sound when hit by the sword, when compared to the same action applied to a normal wall face or floor tile.
