[[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.

[[File:TLoZGW Boomerang Artwork.png|left]]

The Boomerang appears in {{TLoZGW}}. One appears in each room, and Link must collect it and use it to defeat all the [[Iron Ball]]s.

==={{TLoZ|-}} (Valiant Comics)===

The Magic Boomerang from ''The Legend of Zelda'' makes an appearance in the ''[[Day of the Triforce]]'' story of {{TLoZ|Valiant Comics}} comic. After [[Princess Zelda]] and [[Cassiopia]] arrive to the [[Water Town of Saria]] to fight off the monsters that have attacked the town, Cassiopia uses the Magic Boomerang to free her husband, the [[River Man]], from the chains that bind him.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=Wait till I have freed you with the magic boomerang!|book=TLoZ (Valiant Comics)|publisher= |page=4}}</ref>

==={{ZA|-}}===

In {{ZA}}, the Boomerang appears as a [[Spells of Zelda's Adventure|Spell]] which lets Zelda cast Boomerang projectiles with her [[Items in Zelda's Adventure#Wand|Wand]]. It can be found in a small area in western [[Plain of Andor]] with a lone [[Goriya]], which drops the Spell after being defeated. The Spell costs 1 Rupee to use.

==={{SSB|-}}===

The Boomerang functions as [[Link]]'s {{Ssb|Neutral Special Move}} in {{SSB}}. The Boomerang is based on its iteration from {{OoT}}.

==={{SSBM|-}}===

The Boomerang is [[Link]]'s {{Ssb|Side Special Move}} in {{SSBM}}. [[Young Link]] also wields the Boomerang as his Side Special Move. Both Boomerangs are based on their {{OoT}} iteration.

==={{SCII|-}}===

==={{SSBB|-}}===

The Boomerang is [[Link]] and [[Toon Link]]'s {{Ssb|Side Special Move}} in {{SSBB}}. Link's Boomerang resembles the [[Gale Boomerang]] from {{TP}} whereas Toon Link's Boomerang resembles the Boomerang from {{TWW}}.

==={{PH|-}} (Himekawa)===

As Link battles [[Blaaz]] in the Temple of Fire, [[Ciela]] points out the location of a [[Treasure Chest]].<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Look!|book= PH (Himekawa)|publisher= |page= 56}}</ref><ref>{{Cite Book|quote= A Treasure Chest?!|book= PH (Himekawa)|publisher= |page= 56}}</ref> Link opens the Chest to find the Boomerang.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= A Boomerang!|book= PH (Himekawa)|publisher= |page= 56}}</ref> With Ciela's guidance, Link uses the Boomerang to defeat Blaaz's split form and eventually destroys the monster.

==={{HW|-}}===

The Boomerang appears as an item in {{HW}}. It can be upgraded temporarily to the Gale Boomerang by collecting the Boomerang power ups. The Boomerang is able to slice through vines that block pathways. [[Manhandla]]s and their [[Manhandla Stalk|Stalks]] are weak to the Boomerang and it is also one of the items used to fight [[Ganon]] with. In the Master Quest DLC pack, the 8-Bit Boomerang from {{TLoZ}} appears as a weapon for [[Impa]]. It is statistically identical to and part of the [[Biggoron's Sword]] weapon type.

==={{SSB4|-}}===

The Boomerang is [[Link]] and [[Toon Link]]'s {{Ssb|Side Special Move}} in {{SSB4}}. Like in {{SSBB}}, Link's Boomerang resembles the [[Gale Boomerang]] from {{TP}} and Toon Link's Boomerang resembles the Boomerang from {{TWW}}.

==={{SSBU|-}}===

In {{SSBU}}, the {{Term|SSBU|Boomerang}} is used by {{Term|SSBU|Link|link}}, {{Term|SSBU|Toon Link|link}}, and {{Term|SSBU|Young Link|link}} as their {{Ssb|Side Special Move}}. {{Term|SSBU|Link}} uses the {{Term|SSBU|Boomerang}} from {{BotW}} whereas {{Term|SSBU|Toon Link}} uses the {{Term|SSBU|Boomerang}} from {{TWW}}, and {{Term|SSBU|Young Link}} uses the {{Term|SSBU|Boomerang}} from {{OoT}}. A {{Term|SSBU|Boomerang}} also appears as an item that can be used by {{Term|SSBU|Spirit|link}}s in {{Term|SSBU|Spirit Battle|link}}s.

{{Stub|CoH}}

The Boomerang appears as an item in {{CoH}}, where it can be wielded by {{Term|CoH|Cadence|link}}, {{Term|CoH|Link|link}}, and {{Term|CoH|Princess Zelda|link}}. Its primary use is to stun enemies, though it can be used to break open {{Plural|CoH|Treasure Chest|link}} and retrieve their contents from afar.<ref>{{Cite|{{Color|CoH Yellow|Boomerang}} -- Assign it to {{Icon|CoH A}} {{Icon|CoH B}} {{Icon|CoH X}} {{Icon|CoH Y}}<br/>Throw this at enemies to stun them.

*The Boomerang was also planned to be included in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', but was scrapped.

*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. The idea was later abandoned as it might have led to the skipping of important items and areas. This idea eventually evolved into the creation of the [[Beetle (Item)|Beetle]].<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= |book= E |publisher= |page= 297}}</ref>

*Despite being incredibly useful in {{ALttP}}, it is not required to complete the game and can be completely skipped.
