Bombs are recurring items in. There are many varieties of Bombs, including Super Bombs, Bomb Flowers, Bombchus, Powder Kegs, Big Bombs, Water Bombs, Bomblings, Nice Bombs and Remote Bombs.

Location and Uses
Bombs are spherical devices used to create explosions. Only seconds after they are set, they will flash red and then explode in a puff of smoke and fire. People like Cannon and Barnes consider Bomb-making an art and sell the explosives at their Bomb Shops. Like most items in the series that come in quantities, Bombs can often be found in Pots, bushes, Shops and by defeating enemies. Bombs can be used in a variety of ways, such as for blowing up rocks or walls, defeating enemies and solving Puzzles. In some games, Link can find out which walls can be bombed by hitting or tapping them with his sword. Since, Link can pick up, carry and throw Bombs. In some games, including, a held or thrown Bomb will cause enemies to run away in terror, making them harder to hit. In, Link can throw Bombs into Gust Geysers to make them explode and blow up obstacles at a higher location. In SS undefined, Link can also roll Bombs with an underarm swing and can give the Bomb a spin to control its direction. The Beetle can also be used to pick up and fly with a Bomb to drop it somewhere else. The number of Bombs Link can set down at once varies in each game. In, Link uses the Remote Bomb Rune instead of Bombs, which allows him to control when they detonate. Additionally, he can drop them while gliding with the Paraglider.

The Legend of Zelda
Bombs first appear in and can be used to damage certain enemies or reveal hidden passageways in walls within Dungeons and the Overworld. These passageways often create shortcuts in Dungeons and lead to Caves in the Overworld that contain Shops or Old Men. When used, Bombs are placed directly in front of Link and explode shortly after. Bombs can only be obtained in bundles of four by purchasing them in a Shop for 20 Rupees or by defeating enemies. The only enemies that drop Bombs when defeated are blue Octoroks, blue Moblins, red Goriyas, red Darknuts, Vires, Gibdos, red Wizzrobes and blue Lynels. However, sometimes Bombs are rewarded to Link for defeating every enemy in certain rooms within Dungeons. Bombs are needed in order to defeat Dodongos and Link is usually rewarded with Bombs for defeating every Dodongo in a room. Link is always rewarded with Bombs for defeating a Dodongo by Bombing their side and hitting them once with any sword. Link can hold up to 8 Bombs at the start of the game, but can purchase the ability to hold more from two Old Men in Level-5 and Level-7 of the First Quest and Level-4 and Level-8 of the Second Quest. The first upgrade raises Link's Bomb capacity to 12 and the second raises it to a maximum of 16 Bombs. Each upgrade costs 100 Rupees.

A Link to the Past
In, Bombs can be obtained either by finding them in objects or Treasure Chests, defeating enemies or purchasing them in a Shop, such as the Bomb Shop in the Dark World. Here Link can buy 30 Bombs for 100 Rupees. Bombs can be used to damage certain enemies or reveal hidden passageways in walls within Dungeons and the Overworld. They can also destroy certain objects, such as cracked blocks. When Link uses a Bomb, it is placed in a short distance in front of him and detonates soon after. However, Link can also pick the Bomb up and throw it before it detonates. Bombs are an effective item for defeating Hinoxes, who throw Bombs when Link is nearby, allowing Link to throw their Bombs back at them without using his own Bombs. Certain Trees in the Dark World known as Talking Timbers will shoot a Bomb out of their mouth if Link touches their face. If Link gets hurt by a Bomb, including his own Bombs, he will take one Heart of damage. If he is wearing the Blue Mail, he will instead lose half of a Heart and if he is wearing the Red Mail, he will lose a quarter of a Heart.

Link can carry a total of 10 Bombs initially, but can increase the amount of Bombs he can carry at the Pond of Happiness in Lake Hylia. Every time Link tosses a total of 100 Rupees into the Pond, the Great Fairy Venus emerges to reward him with either an Arrow or Bomb capacity upgrade. If Link chooses to upgrade his Bomb capacity, Venus will grant him the ability to carry 5 more Bombs each time until he can carry 40 Bombs. At 40 Bombs, Link can upgrade one more time, granting him a maximum capacity of 50 Bombs. All of the upgrades cost a total of 700 Rupees. Link can temporarily use a special variety of Bomb called the Super Bomb. After completing the Ice Palace and the Misery Mire, Link can purchase the Super Bomb from the Dark World's Bomb Shop for 100 Rupees. After purchase, Link will carry the Super Bomb with him and it will detonate wherever he places it.

Four Swords
-unlimited use

Four Swords Adventures
The Level 2 Bomb, which is exclusive to Four Swords Adventures, is an item upgrade Link can obtain by tossing the Bomb item into a Great Fairy Fountain. These Bombs are larger and have a larger blast radius.

The Big Bomb makes its first appearance in Four Swords Adventures, where it is often referred to as a Giant Bomb. It is not a helpful item, except in Shadow Battle, as its blast can KO a Link instantly if he is in range. Big Bombs are usually dropped by Shadow Link, but they will also appear in chests. It has a 10-second fuse and its explosion affects the entire area. Link can avoid its blast by escaping into a hole, walking into a cave, diving underwater, or leaving the area altogether.

-unlimited use

Twilight Princess
Water Bombs are special Bombs found only in Twilight Princess that are able to explode underwater, while other Bombs are unable to. They appear to be Bombfish, but the Water Bombs Barnes sells are handmade. Water Bombs are necessary to gain access to and explore the Lakebed Temple. Link must wear the Iron Boots to be able to use them underwater. They can also be used on land, but are much more costly this way compared to regular Bombs.

Bomblings are explosive creatures found in Twilight Princess. While they are just useful enemies at first, they can be added to Link's Bomb inventory later on. As items, they are similar to the Bombchu, except they will not crawl up walls but rather will explode whenever they crash into something. Wild Bomblings, necessary to complete the Forest Temple, spawn from small holes in the ground and will attack Link after taking a brief stance, but will not explode until Link attacks them back. They can be carried around and thrown afar by using the Gale Boomerang.



Bomb Arrows are a combination of both Bombs and Arrows. First appearing in Link's Awakening, Link can shoot them by dropping a Bomb and then shooting it with an Arrow. In Twilight Princess, they can simply be attached to Arrows. They can be fired to create distant blasts in high and low places.

A Link Between Worlds
-unlimited but uses magic gauge

Nice Bombs are an upgrade of the regular Bombs in. The upgrade can be obtained after collecting at least 10 lost Maiamais and then returning them to Mother Maiamai. The Bombs must be bought from Ravio first in order to upgrade them. Nice Bombs have a larger blast radius and cause more damage than regular Bombs.

Tri Force Heroes
The Big Bomb reappears in. When wearing the Big Bomb Outfit, all Bombs and Bomb Flowers Link uses turn into Big Bombs, which have an increased blast radius and do double damage. Big Bombs also break rocks down two levels, as opposed to a Bomb's one.

Bomb Flower
Bomb Flowers, which debuted in Ocarina of Time, are a special plant that are set to explode when plucked, and will regrow soon after detonating. They are necessary when Link does not have his own Bombs. A Bomb Flower can be lighted without being plucked if hit with an Arrow, touched with a burning Deku Stick, or if hit by a nearby explosion. In Ocarina of Time, they are too heavy for Young Link to lift without aid of the Goron Bracelets.

Bombchu
Bombchu are special Bombs that resemble Real Bombchu. Link requires a Bomb Bag to carry them, but in, he must have a separate Bombchu Bag. In their appearances in Ocarina of Time and, these Bombs, when set, will go forward on their own, even crawling up walls and ceilings if they encounter one. The Bombchu will continue to run until it collides with an object that cannot be climbed or an enemy or until its fuse runs out and it explodes on its own. In the Oracle Series, Bombchu home in on nearby enemies and blow up. In Phantom Hourglass, a Bombchu can be controlled manually by creating a set path for them.

Powder Keg
Powder Kegs, appearing only in Majora's Mask, have a bigger and more powerful blast than regular Bombs. They can only be used by Goron Link. Link can only buy Powder Kegs when he is certified to use them. Powder Kegs main uses are to clear the path to the Goron Racetrack and Romani Ranch, and to destroy the cracked ceiling of the Ancient Castle of Ikana. Powder Kegs can be purchased in two places in Termina, namely in the Goron Powder Keg Shop in Goron Village and in the Bomb Shop in Clock Town. After Link deploys a Powder Keg, its fuse will slowly burn down until it explodes. However, the process can be speeded up by shooting an Arrow at it, making the keg explode immediately.

Cannon
As soon Link receives Bombs in The Wind Waker, he can use the Cannon on the King of Red Lions by simply using the Bomb item while on the boat. The Cannon in Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks have an unlimited supply of shots, although they have to be obtained.

In the Snowpeak Ruins in Twilight Princess, there are many cannons that require the insertion of a cannonball and then a Bomb for them to activate. These cannons can blast through thick ice and any enemy in their way.

In, the Stalfos Pirates' cannon is used to destroy the boulder on Mount Desma.

Tingle Bomb
A Tingle Bomb is an item provided by the Tingle Tuner at a cost of ten Rupees per use. It can be set wherever the Tingle icon goes onscreen. It is almost like a normal Bomb, but it is invisible, cannot be thrown, and can reveal certain hidden pots and Treasure Chests containing Tingle Statues. Tingle Bombs can be detonated immediately if the cursor is not on Link, or rooted into place with a three second countdown, which will cause Tingle to warn Link to run. Tingle Bombs are only half as strong as normal Bombs are. A successful hit on an enemy will drop a yellow Rupee, covering the cost of using the Bomb. More successful hits on enemies within the same room will increase the value of the dropped Rupees, from a red Rupee to a purple Rupee. Tingle Bombs can also blow away piles of leaves.

Remote Bomb
First appearing in The Minish Cap, Link can get Remote Bombs from Belari in exchange for his regular Bombs. This can be done after getting the regular Bombs and fusing Kinstones with Gentari, the Minish elder. After being set, these Bombs will explode only when the button to which they are assigned is pressed again. Because of this, it is impossible to set two Remote Bombs at a time. Belari can trade the Remote Bombs back for regular Bombs whenever Link talks to him again. When Link has the Remote Bombs, he will obtain these items the same way as the normal Bombs. Even though Remote Bombs are the first to be referred as such, Bombs in Four Swords can be activated in a similar manner. Bombs are remote by default in, and can be detonated at will.

Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland
In Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland, two types of Bombs appear. The first type, Tingle Bombs, can be concocted by using two Bomb Fruits, two Gelatine, and two Explosive Claws. They are stored in empty jars. Cauldrons of the concoction exist in Desma's Labyrinth. The second type, Nitro Bombs, are also stored in empty jars, and are a more powerful version of Tingle Bombs. The recipe for Nitro Bombs (Bomb Fruits, three Gelatine, three Explosive Claws, and three Multi-Bomb Fruits) is obtained from the Stalfos Pirates' Engineer when their pirate ship is being attacked by insects. They can shatter large boulders.

Philips CD-i Games
In and, Bombs are used to damage stronger enemies and to destroy breakable rocks and small walls. They are purchased from Morshu's shop in The Faces of Evil, and The Merchant's shop in The Wand of Gamelon. In both games, Bombs are purchased in packs of three for 20 Rubies. Link and Zelda can carry up to 99 of them.

Hyrule Warriors Series
In, Bombs are items kept in the inventory. They are first obtained in "The Armies of Ruin" Scenario, after Link finds them in the field's Mine Entrance. Bombs are thrown in small spurts. They are primarily used to destroy cracked walls and boulders, but can also be used to damage enemies. Some giant bosses, such as King Dodongo, are particularly weak to them and can be used to make their Weak Point Gauge expose. The Bombs can be temporarily upgraded to a giant Bomb by collecting Bomb power ups, which will throw one giant Bomb that clears a large area. Goron's Bracelet Badges in the Bazaar can be crafted to increase the duration of the upgrade.

In Adventure Mode, normal and Water Bombs appear as Item Cards. Normal Bombs are used to open cave entrances in mountain walls and to destroy boulders on land, whereas Water Bombs are used to destroy boulders on bodies of water. In the Lorule Map from, the Bomb Item Card activates the Rupee Nice Power on the Ravio Board when used.

In the A Link Between Worlds DLC Pack for Hyrule Warriors and Hyrule Warriors Legends, Ravio uses Bombs at part of the moveset for his Rental Hammer Weapon. He can bat a bomb towards enemies with the Hammer and roll giant Bombs at enemies, shoving it away from him before it explodes.

Oracle of Ages (Himekawa)
When battling Veran's spider form in the Black Tower, Link spies a crate of Bombs from the Tower's construction. Link tosses a Bomb at Veran, momentarily blinding and stunning her.
