==Location and Uses==
The Boomerang is an item that [[Link]] can throw, at which point it will return to him. It can be used for both combat and [[Puzzle]] solving. It can be used to stun enemies, although a single hit will defeat weak enemies, such as [[Keese]].<ref>{{Cite book|quote=As a weapon, the Boomerang can be thrown to stun or dispatch an enemy depending on the strength of the target. |book=Phantom Hourglass Official Game Guide |publisher= Prima Games |page=11}}</ref> It can also be used to retrieve items that are out of [[Link]]'s reach.<ref>{{Cite manual|quote= 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).

In {{ALttP}}, Link can obtain a Boomerang in [[Hyrule Castle (A Link to the Past)|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.

In {{LA}}, Link can obtain the Boomerang by completing the [[Link's Awakening Trading Sequence|Trading Sequence]] and using the [[Magnifying Lens]] inside a hidden [[Cave]] 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 [[Anti-Faeries]], 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.

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 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.
 
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:ZCS That Sinking Feeling Boomerang.png|left|thumb|Zelda wielding a Boomerang]]
The Boomerang is one of the most used items in {{TLoZ|TV Series}}, 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]]. Although the series mostly exemplifies the use of the Boomerang for fighting enemies, the "[[Doppelganger]]" episode demonstrates how Zelda uses the Boomerang to break free from the ropes that Ganon had tied around her hands.

*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.
