Bomb Bags are recurring Items in The Legend of Zelda series.[1][2] [note 1]

Location and Uses

Bomb Bags are satchels in which Link can carry Bombs. They are often obtained as a Dungeon Items that give Link access to Bombs and allow him to continue his quest,[4] though in some cases, the Bombs themselves are treated as Link's essential Item,[5] while the Bomb Bag they come with is either shown in his inventory or merely alluded to.[6]

Upgrades to the Bomb Bag, which increase the amount of Bombs they can carry, are quite commonplace across Link's adventures. Most games featuring the Item also have several subsequent Bomb Bags for Link to discover, which act as upgrades to the initial Bomb Bag and can usually be collected in any order.[7][8]

In earlier games, such as The Legend of Zelda, A Link to the Past and Link's Awakening, Bombs are available to be found or purchased without the need for a Bomb Bag, as they are not tied to Link's progression. Link's Bomb capacity can still be increased by the blessings of other characters, such as the Old Man, Venus, and the Mad Batter, respectively.[9]
