Bomb Arrow

Bomb Arrows are a recurring item in the, first appearing in. It is essentially an exploding Arrow that results from combining Bombs with Arrows. They are shot like normal Arrows, but when the Arrow reaches its target, the Bomb explodes.

Link's Awakening
In, Bomb Arrows can be shot by equipping both the Bow and Bombs and using them at the same time. While they are not required to use in any instance, they can be used as a stronger projectile attack against enemies at the cost of both an Arrow and a Bomb.

Twilight Princess
To use a Bomb Arrow in, the bow must first be equipped, then the R Button (for the Nintendo GameCube version) or the Z Button (for the Wii version) must be pressed when any kind of Bomb is selected in the inventory screen. Bomb Arrows consume both a single Bomb and a single Arrow per shot. They are useful when attempting to blow up far-away rocks, which becomes necessary when Link ventures to the Lakebed Temple. Should Link hold the Bomb Arrow to the bow for too long, the Bomb will explode and the young hero will take damage.

Spirit Tracks
In, Bomb Arrows are not a usable item. Instead, they are fired from Bulblins on the Overworld while riding the Spirit Tracks.

Breath of the Wild
In, Bomb Arrows appear as a type of Arrow that can be equipped to the Bow; combining is no longer necessary, as they are already loaded with an explosive at its tip. They can be found inside Treasure Chests. They are ineffective in the rain, as it causes them to fizzle out.

Link's Crossbow Training
Bomb Arrows also appear in the spin-off game. They can be used by holding the trigger on the Wii Zapper to "charge a shot".

Hyrule Warriors Series
In and, Linkle uses Bomb Arrows as part of the moveset for her Crossbows Weapon. Like their appearance in Link's Crossbow Training, she may "charge a shot" before firing a Bomb Arrow at her enemies but she can also unleash a barrage of Arrows and Bomb Arrows. During her Crossbows Weapon's Focus Spirit Attack, Linkle fires a Giant Bomb attached to an Arrow before smashing it to the ground with a fiery kick.

In the A Link Between Worlds DLC Pack, Ravio uses Bombs attached to Light Arrows as part of the Special Attack for his Rental Hammer Weapon.
