[[File:LAboomerang.png|left]]In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', the boomerang is a very useful but optional weapon. It is one of the most powerful weapons in the game. In order to acquire it, Link must first complete a long trading sequence in order to receive the [[Magnifying Lens|magnifying lens]]. Link must then visit [[Toronbo Shores]] and find a hidden cave on the eastern side. Inside, he will meet a tiny creature (who cannot be seen without the magnifying lens) who will offer to trade Link a boomerang for a weapon of his choice. | [[File:LAboomerang.png|left]]In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', the boomerang is a very useful but optional weapon.

The boomerang can again be used in the traditional way, but it now has a few more uses. Though minor, it can be used to cut bushes. It's simply a faster way to get the job done. Its usefulness as a weapon has also been greatly improved. In this game, few weapons will get the job done faster than the boomerang. It is one of the two weapons able to kill an [[Anti-Fairy]], the other being the [[Magic Powder]] and the only weapon able to kill a [[Spark]]. It can also defeat certain enemies in one hit that no other weapons can, such as [[Ghini]]s. | The boomerang can again be used in the traditional way, but it now has a few more uses.

The boomerang is perhaps most useful in defeating the final form of the Final Nightmare, [[Dethl]]. Dethl is a large eye with two huge club-like arms that rotate around the eye. In order to defeat him, Link must avoid the arms and wait for the eye to open. When it does, he must shoot it with arrows, and he will need a lot of them. It can be a very difficult fight, but if Link has the boomerang, it is much easier. A single hit to the eye with the boomerang will defeat Dethl. | The boomerang is perhaps most useful in defeating the final form of the Final Nightmare, [[Dethl]].
