Not to be confused with Bombite.

Bob-ombs are recurring enemies in The Legend of Zelda series.[1] They are directly based on the Bob-omb enemies from the Mario series.

Bob-ombs are similar in appearance and behavior to the earlier Bombites, as walking Bomb-like enemies that ignite their fuse and quickly dash about in a panic when struck by the Sword, eventually exploding. If they are struck a second time, they cease running and can be picked up and thrown.

Characteristics

Four Swords

In Four Swords, Bob-ombs are typically encountered in small groups. They move slowly, but when they are struck by the Sword, they immediately light their fuse and dash about while bouncing off of walls, making them difficult to avoid. They will then eventually explode. Bob-ombs, however, can also be helpful enemies, as they can be used to destroy cracked walls or blocks when the Links are without Bombs. When they are hit again after their fuse is lit, they stop moving and turn red. At this point, they can be picked up and thrown elsewhere before exploding, allowing the Links to use them to destroy obstacles or other enemies. They appear in the Chambers of Insight, Death Mountain, Vaati's Palace, as well as the Realm of Memories.

The Minish Cap

In The Minish Cap, Bob-ombs appear identically to those in Four Swords. They are typically found in small groups in enclosed areas or narrow spaces. They can be used as Bombs as before, by striking them twice with the Sword and throwing them where needed. This becomes necessary to solve a puzzle in Dark Hyrule Castle. They appear in the Cave of Flames, the Palace of Winds (The Minish Cap), and the aforementioned Dark Hyrule Castle.
