Bomb Knight

The Bomb Knight is an enemy specializes in explosive warfare that appears in A Link to the Past, Link's Awakening, and Four Swords Adventures.

In A Link to the Past and Four Swords Adventures, a Bomb Knight is a corrupted Hyrule Knight that specializes in explosive warfare. Such tainted knights have an endless supply of bombs and will follow Link whenever he is within close proximity; the best method to combat them is to simply avoid their explosions and attack directly with a sword.

In Link's Awakening, the Bomb Knight is called Mad Bomber. He can be found hiding in deep holes within the courtyard area of Kanalet Castle, and tosses bombs from a distance. To defeat this quick and agile soldier, Link must anticipate which hole he will appear in, and strike him as soon as he pops out. Doing so will earn Link one of the Five Golden Leaves that he must acquire for Richard.
