The bomb's fuse will burn for about two seconds, and up to two bombs can be set at a time. You can also pick up a bomb you have placed and throw it before it explodes (be careful!).}}

In {{ALttP}}, Bombs can be obtained either by finding them in objects or [[Treasure Chest]]s, by defeating enemies, or purchasing them in a Shop, such as the [[Bomb Shop#A Link to the Past|Bomb Shop]] in the [[Dark World]].
