Bomb Shop

The Bomb Shop is a type of recurring shop in that specializes in Bombs and their different varieties.

Features and Overview
Bomb Shops cater to customers with Bombs and other Bomb-related goods, including Bomb Bags of different sizes and occasionally other explosive varieties. These shops usually sell bushels of Bombs in different quantities and at reasonable, although sometimes a bit overpriced, rates. The shops are commonly located in populated centers such as Hyrule Castle Town and in assorted villages across the overworld of Hyrule.

A Link to the Past
In, the Bomb Shop appears in the Dark World. It is situated exactly where Link's House appears in the Light World. The Shop is kept by a strange creature known as the Bomb Shopkeeper. At first he sells only regular Bombs, but after completing the Ice Palace, Misery Mire and reuniting the Dwarven Swordsmiths, he will sell a special Super Bomb that will allow Link to access the Mysterious Pond at the base of the Pyramid of Power, where the Silver Arrows and Golden Sword can be acquired.

In, the Goron Shop in Goron City sells Bombs in many different quantities, more so than any other shop in the series. There is also a Bombchu Shop in the back alley of Castle Town that sells Bombchu and is open only at night. Once a particular bundle of Bombchu has been purchased, its spot will be replaced with a "Sold Out" sign. The store's supplies will not be replenished.

The Carpet Merchant also sells Bombchu. However, the supplies there never run out. The catch is the high price; a staggering 200 Rupees.

In, the Bomb Shop is located in West Clock Town. It is run by the Bomb Shop Owner and his mother, who originally ran it with her late husband. The Shop sells the usual Bombs as well as Bombchu. After saving the Old Lady in North Clock Town from Sakon the thief, the Shop will sell a Big Bomb Bag. There is a second Bomb Shop located in the Goron Village, known as the Goron Powder Keg Shop, that sells the Powder Keg for 100 Rupees. Link must pass Medigoron's certification test before he may purchase any Powder Kegs however. The Shop in Clock Town also sells these Kegs for half the price by another Goron. However Link must have already passed Medigoron's test to be able to purchase Powder Kegs there.

Unique decorations inside the shop include a large model rocket, a giant model Bomb, and notes and schematics for a planned trip to the Moon using Bomb-powered flight. The Owner often recommends the fireworks show at the Carnival of Time, which may indicate that the Bomb Shop provides them.

The Wind Waker
In, the Bomb Shop is located on the southern part of Windfall Island. It is run by Bomb-Master Cannon, the only Bomb maker left in the entire Sea. At first, Master Cannon's Bombs are far too expensive for Link to afford, and as such cannot obtain them yet. However, after Tetra and her crew come in and steal his precious Bombs, he lowers the prices to be quite reasonable.

Twilight Princess
In, Barnes Bomb Shop is located in Kakariko Village, and is owned by the mechanic of the village, Barnes. At first, Barnes cannot sell Link any Bombs because his suppliers, the Gorons, have broken off relations with the village. Link must earn the Gorons' trust before they will begin supplying Barnes with the materials he needs to make them.

Initially, he only sells regular Bombs, and informs Link that they can be used to create Bomb Arrows. Later on, he will then sell Water Bombs and eventually, Bomblings, which are similar to Bombchu. Barnes will also buy back Bombs from any of the Bomb Bags Link has for a deflated price. However, if Link wishes to sell his Bombs, he must sell all of the Bombs in the selected Bomb Bag. This is sometimes necessary as Link can only hold one type of Bomb at a time in each Bomb Bag he has.

Around the store are a bunch of warning signs that say not to use any flammable objects in the store. If Link uses his Lantern, a sprinkler system will turn on and put out the Lantern.

A Link Between Worlds
In, the Bomb Flower Store appears in Lorule, south of Thieves' Town. It is owned by the Bomb-Shop Man. The Store's only ware is the Big Bomb Flower, which grows in a garden outside of the store. Link can purchase the Big Bomb Flower for 200 Rupees to destroy several large boulders around Lorule, including the boulder barricading the entrance to the Swamp Palace.

Link's Crossbow Training
In, Barnes Bomb Shop appears as part of Stage 3.
