Bombs are recurring items in. There are many varieties of Bombs, including Bomb Flowers, Bombchus and Remote Bombs.

Location and Uses
Bombs are devices used to create explosions. Only seconds after they are set, they will typically flash red and then explode in a puff of smoke and fire. 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. Since, Link can pick up, carry and throw Bombs. In some games, including and, Link can find out which walls can be Bombed by hitting or tapping them with his Sword. In, Link uses the Remote Bomb Rune instead of Bombs, which allows him to control when they detonate.

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.

Here Link can buy 30 Bombs for 100 Rupees. Bombs can be used to damage certain enemies or destroy loose rocks, cracked floors or crumbling walls within Dungeons and the Overworld. 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. This allows Link to activate Switches from afar. 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. Link can destroy the Helmasaur King's mask with Five Bombs instead of the Magic Hammer. 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.

Several large, yellow rocks can be found across the game which can be destroyed with Bombs. They often conceal Secret Grottos which house Treasure Chests and sometimes Pieces of Heart.
