In {{TLoZ}}, Link can acquire a Boomerang by defeating all of the red [[Goriya]]s in a certain room within {{Term|TLoZ|Level 1|link}} of both the First Quest and the [[Second Quest]]. Goriyas attack Link with Boomerangs.

==Appearances==
==={{ALttP|-}}===
{{Manual|ALttP|Boomerang|If you hit an enemy with this, it will be stunned for a short time (some enemies will sustain damage when hit by the boomerang). The boomerang can also retrieve distant Rupees and Hearts.}}
{{Manual|ALttP&FS|Boomerang|This temmporarily paralyzes enemies when it strikes them. You can also use it to retrieve Rupees and other items in hard-to-reach places.}}
In {{ALttP}}, Link can obtain a Boomerang in [[Hyrule Castle (Dungeon)|Hyrule Castle]]. It is contained in a [[Treasure Chest]] a few rooms before the prison where the [[Ball and Chain Trooper]] holds [[Princess Zelda]] captive. It appears as a Big Chest on the Map, but is in fact a Small Chest. If Link fails to collect the Boomerang in the Hyrule Castle, he can find another one in the house of the [[Sweeping Lady]] in [[Kakariko Village]]. If Link does not open either Chest, he can obtain a Magical Boomerang from a Chest in the [[Village of Outcasts]]. Link can also obtain a Magical Boomerang as an upgrade to the Boomerang at the [[Waterfall of Wishing]]. The Boomerang is blue, while the Magical Boomerang is red, faster and can be thrown farther.<ref>{{Cite|You got the Magical Boomerang! You can throw this faster and farther than your old one!|N/A|ALttP}}</ref> Both varieties can be used to stun enemies, hit [[Switch]]es, and collect items from a distance.


===Standard Boomerangs===
==={{LA|-}}===
These Boomerangs function only to stun and retrieve out-of-reach items. Some of them can be upgraded.
In {{LA}}, Link can obtain the Boomerang by completing the {{Term|LANS|Trading Quest|link}} and using the [[Magnifying Lens]] inside a hidden {{Term|LANS|Cave|link}} at the eastern side of [[Toronbo Shores]]. Here Link will meet a Goriya who will offer to give Link a Boomerang in exchange for an item. The Boomerang can be used to stun enemies, hit Switches, collect items from a distance, and cut bushes. The Boomerang is one of the two items able to destroy {{Plural|LADX|Bubble|link}}, the other being the [[Magic Powder]]. It is also the only weapon able to defeat a [[Spark]]. It can also defeat certain enemies in one hit, such as [[Ghini]]s. The Boomerang is the most effective weapon against the final form of [[Nightmare]], as it can be defeated in one hit.


====''The Legend of Zelda''====
==={{OoT|-}}===
The Boomerang is one of the first items that can be acquired in {{TLoZ}}. In both the First and [[Second Quest]]s, it can be obtained by defeating a large number of [[Goriya]] in a room of the first [[Dungeon]] in the game, the [[Level-1 (The Legend of Zelda)|Level-1]]. It and the Magical Boomerang are the only major Dungeon items to not be contained in an underground room.
{{Manual|OoT|Boomerang|If you throw it, it comes back! The Boomerang can stun or defeat enemies. Use Z Targeting to improve your accuracy. Some enemies can only be defeated with the Boomerang.}}
In {{OoT}}, the Boomerang can only be used by Link as a child. It is the main item [[Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly]]. The Boomerang is needed in order to defeat [[Tailpasaran]]s, [[Parasitic Tentacle]]s, the [[Big Octo#Ocarina of Time|Big Octo]], and the [[Boss]] of the Dungeon, [[Barinade]]. It also allows Link to collect distant items such as [[Gold Skulltula]] Tokens. It can be used to stun and defeat certain enemies. Before being thrown, the camera shifts to a first-person perspective, allowing Link to aim. The camera will remain in a third-person perspective if Link is [[Targeting]] something. When Targeting, the Boomerang will follow its target until impact.


====''The Adventure of Link''====
==={{OoS|-}}===
While Link cannot obtain a Boomerang as a weapon in ''The Adventure of Link'', [[Goriya]]s continue to use them to attack him.
{{Manual|OoS|Boomerang|The Boomerang returns to you after you have thrown it. Use it to get objects like Pieces of Hearts and Rupees when those objects are out of your reach.}}
In {{OoS}}, the Boomerang can be found in [[Subrosia]] as a prize from the [[Dance Hall]]. It is upgraded to the [[Magical Boomerang]] in the {{Term|OoS|Ancient Ruins|link}}. The Magical Boomerang is faster, can fly higher distances and can be controlled at will. The normal Boomerang is an optional item in this game, whereas the Magical Boomerang is a required item.


====''A Link to the Past''====
In certain dungeons, red [[Moblin]]s wield Boomerangs. They are blue in color, but do damage to Link instead of having the stun effect of Link's Boomerang. Also, the miniboss of the [[Gnarled Root Dungeon|first dungeon]] features a pair of [[Brother Goriyas]] who throw a Boomerang to each other, injuring Link when in the way.
[[File:BoomerangALttP.png|left]]
In {{ALttP}}, the Boomerang is again found in [[Hyrule Castle]]. Its exact location is a few rooms before the prison where the [[Ball and Chain Trooper]] holds [[Princess Zelda]] captive, contained in a [[Treasure Chest]] that is listed as a Big Chest on the map but is in fact a regular Small Chest. If Link fails to collect the Boomerang in the Dungeon, he can also find another one in the house of the [[Sweeping Lady]] in [[Kakariko Village]]. If Link does not open either chest, he can obtain a Magical Boomerang from a chest in the [[Village of Outcasts]], although he can also obtain it by taking the regular Boomerang to the [[Waterfall of Wishing]].


Unlike most other games in the series, the regular Boomerang is blue, while the Magical Boomerang is red.
==={{OoA|-}}===
In {{OoA}}, the Boomerang can be found in the [[Rolling Ridge]] as a prize from either the [[Shooting Gallery#Oracle of Ages|Goron Shooting Gallery]] or the [[Target Carts]]. It is an optional item in this game.


====''Ocarina of Time''====
In certain dungeons, red [[Moblin]]s wield Boomerangs. They are blue in color, but do damage to Link instead of having the stun effect of Link's Boomerang.
[[File:OOTBoomerang.png|50px|left]]
In {{OoT}}, the Boomerang is found [[Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly]]. It allows Link to get out-of-reach items such as [[Gold Skulltula]] Tokens. It can also be use to defeat weak enemies or stun bigger ones. When used, the camera shifts to a first person perspective. When targeting at an enemy, the Boomerang will follow its target until hit. If the enemy gets out of its reach, the Boomerang will return to Link. It can only be used by [[Young Link]].


====''Oracle'' Series====
==={{FS|-}}===
In {{OoA}}, the Boomerang can be found in the [[Rolling Ridge]] as a prize from the [[Shooting Gallery#Oracle of Ages|Goron Shooting Gallery]]. In {{OoS}}, it can be found in [[Subrosia]] as a prize from the [[Dance Hall]]. The Boomerang is a required item in ''Oracle of Seasons'', but not in ''Oracle of Ages''.
{{Manual|FS|Boomerang|Use this weapon to attack enemies from a distance. You can also use this to retrieve hard-to-reach Rupees and hearts. Some enemies might even get stunned when hit...}}
In {{FS}}, the Boomerang appears in various [[Stage]]s. It can only be used in the Stage where it was obtained. It is useful for collecting [[Rupee]]s.


====''Four Swords''====
==={{TWW|-}}===
In {{FS}}, the Boomerang appears in various stages. It can only be used in the stage where it was obtained. It is useful to collect [[Rupee]]s.
The Boomerang is the main item of the [[Forbidden Woods]] in {{TWW}}. In addition to stunning and defeating enemies, collecting distant items, and activating Switches, the Boomerang can lock on to up to five different targets.<ref>{{Cite|You got the Boomerang! Set it to and throw it with [Y], [Z], or [X]. Target specific objects by holding the button you set it to and aiming at something until the red targeting cursor changes to a [Target lock mark]. You can target up to five objects at once.|N/A|TWW}}</ref> This ability can be used for solving puzzles involving Switches or for collecting multiple items in one throw. The Boomerang is needed in order to defeat [[Kalle Demos]], the Boss of the Forbidden Woods, and [[Puppet Ganon]].


====''The Minish Cap''====
==={{FSA|-}}===
In {{TMC}}, the Boomerang can be bought in the [[Hyrule Castle Town|Hyrule Town]] Shop for 300 [[Rupee]]s. It can be upgraded to the Magical Boomerang by [[Kinstone Fusion|fusing]] [[Kinstone]]s with the [[Tingle Brothers]].
{{Manual|FSA|Boomerang|Daze enemies by hitting them with this weapon. You can also use it to pull items like Force Gems, Hearts, and even other characters close to you. Hold the A Button to make it hover in midair.<br/>{{Big|Lev. 2}}<br/>This faster boomerang flies even farther.}}
In {{FSA}}, the Boomerang can be held in place before returning to Link. This is useful for retrieving moving [[Force Gem]]s. The Boomerang can be upgraded to the Level 2 Boomerang, which is faster and has a longer reach.


====''A Link Between Worlds''====
==={{TMC|-}}===
In {{ALBW}}, the Boomerang can be obtained from [[Ravio's Shop]]. Like other items in the game, it can be borrowed and bought permanently. The Boomerang can be rented for 50 Rupees and bought for 800 (unless it is the first item bought, in which case, it will cost 400 Rupees). It can be upgradable to the Nice Boomerang by bringing 10 Lost [[Maiamai]]s to [[Mother Maiamai]]. The upgrade improves the speed and range of the Boomerang and allows Link to throw three Boomerangs at a time. The boomerang can be thrown in any direction according to which way Link is facing.
{{Manual|TMC|Boomerang|Hit an enemy to daze him: he’ll stop moving for a short period time. You can also use the boomerang to nab Rupees and other items beyond your reach.}}
In {{TMC}}, the {{Term|TMC|Boomerang}} can be bought in {{Term|TMC|Stockwell's Shop|link}} for 300 {{Plural|TMC|Rupee}}. It can be upgraded to the {{Term|TMC|Magical Boomerang}} by {{Term|TMC|Kinstone Fusion|link|display=Fusing}} {{Plural|TMC|Kinstone|link}} with the {{Term|TMC|Tingle Siblings?|link}}.


====''Tri Force Heroes''====
==={{PH|-}}===
[[File:TFH Nice Boomerang Icon.png|left|The Boomerang equipped with the Boomeranger]]
In {{PH}}, the Boomerang allows Link to to draw a specific path for it to follow. The Boomerang's path has a range limit.<ref name="PH Guide 11"/> It can be used to stun and defeat enemies, hit Switches, and collect items from a distance. It is the main item of the [[Temple of Fire]].
In {{TFH}}, the Boomerang is first obtained in the [[Drablands#Volcano|Volcano]]'s [[Blazing Trail]], but reappears several times in later Levels. The Boomerang can be used to carry another Link, or two while wearing the [[Boomeranger]]. This [[Outfit]] also enlarges the Boomerang, allowing it to pass throw foes and deal damage.


===Boomerangs with Added Characteristics===
==={{ST|-}}===
These Boomerangs have other added characteristics.
The Boomerang's flight path can be drawn in {{ST}}, similarly to how it behaved in {{PH}}. It can be used to stun and defeat enemies, collect distant items, and hit Switches from afar. It can also fly through [[Fire]] to light [[Torch]]es or fly through ice to freeze water. It is the main item of the [[Snow Temple]].


====''Link's Awakening''====
==={{ALBW|-}}===
[[File:LA Boomerang.png|thumb|right|Link obtaining the Boomerang in ''Link's Awakening'']]
In {{ALBW}}, the Boomerang can be obtained from [[Ravio's Shop]]. Like all items in the game, it uses Link's [[Energy Gauge]] with each use. The Boomerang can be rented for 50 Rupees and bought permanently for 800.{{Note|The first item purchased from Ravio always costs 400 Rupees}} The Boomerang can be upgraded to the [[Nice Boomerang]] by bringing 10 Lost [[Maiamai]]s to [[Mother Maiamai]]. The upgrade improves the speed and range of the Boomerang and allows Link to throw three Boomerangs at a time. The Boomerang can be thrown in any direction according to which way Link is facing.
In {{LA}}, the Boomerang is an optional weapon. To obtain it, Link must first complete [[Link's Awakening Trading Sequence|the trading sequence]] in order to receive the [[Magnifying Lens]]. Link must then visit [[Toronbo Shores]] and find a hidden cave on the eastern side. Inside, with the help of the Magnifying Lens, he will meet a [[Goriya]] who will offer to trade Link a Boomerang for a weapon of his choice.


The Boomerang can be used in the traditional way, but it now has more uses, such as cutting bushes. The Boomerang is one of the two weapons able to defeat an [[Anti-Fairy]], the other being the [[Magic Powder]]. It is also the only weapon able to defeat a [[Spark]]. It can also defeat certain enemies in one hit such as [[Ghini]]s. The Boomerang is the most effective weapon against the final form of [[Nightmare]], as it can be defeated in one hit.
==={{TFH|-}}===
In {{TFH}}, the {{Term|TFH|Boomerang}} can be used to grab another {{Term|TFH|Link}} and pull him toward the wielder, and has the ability to hover in place for several seconds at its furthest point by holding the Item button.

====Zora Boomerang====
In ''Majora's Mask'', the Boomerang does not appear as an item but as an ability of [[Zora Link]]. The fins in his forearms become Boomerangs when the B button is charged. The actions of Link are the same as if he were holding the a Boomerang, with the exception of this version being two. The attributes of these weapons are the same as their previous incarnation. In the "Zora Fight Song", [[Mikau]] calls them the double cutters.<ref>{{Cite|For my deadly move, press and hold (B). Now release! It's the final blow. My double cutters!|[[Mikau]]|MM}}</ref>

The boomerang is one of the most used items in {{Animated}}, and one hit from this weapon is capable of defeating most of Ganon's minions. It is mostly used by [[Princess Zelda]], although Link, [[Moblin]]s and [[Goriya]]s wield it as well. The boomerang first appears in "[[Cold Spells]]", where Zelda defeats various magically-possessed cleaning supplies with it. Later, in "[[Sing for the Unicorn]]", Zelda once again uses it to defeat an [[Armos Knight]] and [[Ganon]], rescuing Link and [[King Harkinian|her father]] in the process. The boomerang shown in "[[That Sinking Feeling]]" is given to Zelda by Link so that the two of them can fight off several [[Tektite]]s that have ambushed them. Link is not shown wielding this item until the "[[Stinging a Stinger]]" episode, which he uses it to defeat a [[Gohma]] with the help of Zelda's [[Magic Rope]].

*During development of {{SS}}, a Remote Boomerang was planned to be included. With it, Link would have been able to drop anywhere after grabbing it and controlling its trajectory.

**At another point during development of {{SS|-}}, a Rocket Punch was proposed for grabbing items. This idea as well led to the creation of the Beetle.
