The '''Bridge of Eldin''' is a bridge found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' that links part of eastern [[Hyrule]] to a path that leads to the [[Hidden Village]], and further down to [[Zora River]]. [[Link]] engages in horseback combat with [[King Bulblin]] several times along this bridge. After the encounter, a significant portion of the bridge is removed by [[Zant]]'s [[Shadow Beasts]], thus blocking the path.  
==Features and Overview==
==={{TP|-}}===
In {{TP}}, the Bridge of Eldin is a bridge found north of [[Kakariko Village]]. It crosses a deep gorge where [[Zora's River]] runs through, essentially connecting the [[Eldin Province]] to a path leading to the [[Lanayru Province]].<ref name=quote>{{Cite|I would try to find the {{Color|TP Red|path}} beyond the {{Color|TP Red|Bridge of Eldin}} that leads to Lanayru Province.|Gor Coron|TP}}</ref> It also serves as the main access road to the [[Hidden Village]].<ref name=quote/>


Link eventually finds what appears to be the removed section of the Bridge of Eldin in the western part of the [[Gerudo Mesa]]. With the aid of [[Midna]], Link warps back to the area where the bridge of Eldin was removed. The [[portal]] that they must exit through will not appear until Link defeats the [[Shadow Beasts]] that removed the Bridge, located on the side opposite of Hyrule Field. Once they warp there, Midna will place the section back where it belongs, allowing Link to cross the bridge again.
After [[King Bulblin]] suddenly kidnaps [[Colin]] from Kakariko Village, he makes his way to the Bridge of Eldin, with [[Link]] in pursuit. Here, the two engage in horseback combat in which Link comes out victorious and rescues Colin from the [[Bulblin]]'s grasp. Once the young hero clears the [[Goron Mines]] and crosses this Bridge en route to the next province, a significant portion of the Bridge is removed by [[Zant]]'s [[Shadow Beast]]s, thus blocking the path. Defeating the beasts causes a [[Twilight Portal]] to be created, but it cannot be used due to the Bridge's removal.


When Link and Midna choose to return to the Gerudo Mesa, they will discover a cave that was originally sealed off by the bridge section. The cave is in fact the [[Cave of Ordeals]].
Link eventually finds what appears to be the removed section of the Bridge of Eldin in the {{Exp|GameCube version; eastern part in the Wii version|western part}} of the [[Gerudo Desert]], right on the [[Gerudo Mesa]]. With the aid of [[Midna]], the young hero [[warp]]s back to the area where the Bridge of Eldin was removed, taking the section with them.<ref>{{Cite|What is this thing? It does seem to be man-made. I wonder what it is? Why is it there? It doesn't look like it's been there long, does it?|Midna|TP}}</ref> However, if Link did not defeat the Shadow Beasts that appeared after the Bridge was removed, the portal will not appear and thus they will be unable to warp the missing section of the Bridge. Once the portal is created, Midna will place the section back where it belongs, allowing Link to cross the Bridge again.


{{clear}}
Once Link receives the [[Ancient Sky Book]] from [[Shad]], he will have to return to the Bridge of Eldin in order to receive a [[Ancient Sky Book#Sky Characters|Sky Character]] from the [[Owl Statue]] situated in the northern section of the bridge. Moreover, by transporting the statue to the other side of the Bridge and situating it exactly below a certain ledge will allow Link to jump over and obtain a [[Piece of Heart]].


==''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''==
A [[Golden Bugs|male Golden Phasmid]] can also be found in the northern portion of the Bridge of Eldin.
{{SSB Stages| name = Bridge of Eldin
 
|image = [[Image:Bridge of Eldin.JPG|250px]]
==={{BotW|-}}===
|Home to = Link & Zelda
In {{BotW}}, the Bridge of Eldin is a bridge that crosses over [[Death Mountain]]'s lava moat in the [[Eldin (Region)|Eldin]] Region, connecting Death Mountain with [[Eldin Canyon]]. It is denoted as Death Mountain Marker #8.<ref>{{Cite|Death Mountain Marker #8<br/>Bridge of Eldin|Sign|BotW}}</ref> A road leading from [[Goron City]] paves the way to the Bridge through the [[Abandoned North Mine]] and [[Stolock Bridge]]. On the western side of the Bridge of Eldin is a [[Cannon]], one of many stationed around Death Mountain that the [[Goron]]s use to drive away {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast Vah Rudania|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|I can't tell ya how many times we've used the {{Color|BotW Red|cannon}} to chase off that fiend.|Bludo|BotW}}</ref>
|Original game = The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
 
|How to Unlock = Unlocked from the start
The Bridge is initially inaccessible as [[Bludo]], the Gorons' Boss, has drawn the Bridge to prevent Vah Rudania from crossing over.<ref>{{Cite|The problem is...good ol' Boss raised the {{Color|BotW Red|Bridge of Eldin}} to make sure that mean Divine Beast couldn't get over here.|Yunobo|BotW}}</ref> After Link saves [[Yunobo]] a second time from a pair of [[Black Moblin]]s at the Bridge's Cannon, and informs him of Bludo's inability to come and use the Cannon, the two decide to attack Vah Rudania themselves so that Link can board it.<ref>{{Cite|WHAT?! You're gonna try to board the Divine Beast? Who do you think you are...{{Color|BotW Blue|Lord Daruk}}? It's dangerous in there, goro! <small>Though I guess if you weakened it first, it might be possible...</small> But...why risk it?! [...] Hmm. Well, I don't really get it, but I'm sure you have your reasons, goro...|Yunobo|BotW}}</ref> Yunobo uses [[Daruk's Protection]] and instructs Link to fire him at the Bridge using the Cannon to lower it.<ref>{{Cite|Oh! It occurs to me that YOU know how to use the cannons! Don't you, goro? <small>Maybe we CAN get across after all...</small> So let's just do what I do to help {{Color|BotW Blue|Boss}} sometimes. That means I'm gonna be the cannonball! And you'll launch me, goro! [...] I've got {{Color|BotW Blue|Daruk's Protection}}, goro! My ancestor's help can't possibly fail me!|Yunobo|BotW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|So rest easy, got it? Well, go on then! Take aim at the {{Color|BotW Blue|Bridge of Eldin}} and fire away, goro!|Yunobo|BotW}}</ref> From there on, the Bridge becomes accessible.
|Unique Traits =  King Bulbin will occasionally destroy the middle section of the bridge, which is later warped back into place.

==={{TotK|-}}===
The Bridge of Eldin is also a stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. The stage is totally flat, similar to [[Final Destination]], but at times [[King Bulblin]] will appear and blast a hole in the bridge with a bomb, but after some time the missing portion of the bridge will be restored via a [[Twilight Portal]]. [[Dark Link]] also appears as a boss here in the Event Match "Dark Link Duel".
{{Stub|TotK}}
 
==Other Appearances==
==={{LCT|-}}===
{{Noncanon|Start}}
In {{LCT}}, the Bridge of Eldin appears as a Defender Mode scenario in [[Link's Crossbow Training#Level 6|Level 6]].

==={{SSBB|-}}===
{{Noncanon|Start}}
{{Smashwiki}}
[[File:SSBB Bridge of Eldin.png|thumb|250px|The Bridge of Eldin Stage from {{SSBB|-}}]]
The Bridge of Eldin is featured as a Stage in {{SSBB}}. The Stage is totally flat, similar to {{ssb|Final Destination}}, but its ends extend beyond the left and right boundaries, making it possible to walk off the stage to a {{ssb|KO}}. Every once in a while, King Bulblin riding [[Lord Bullbo]], randomly followed by a Bulblin, will appear crossing the stage to drop a [[Bomb Barrel]], opening a gap in the middle of the Bridge. After a while, a {{Term|SSBB|Portal|link}} appears in the sky restoring the missing part of the Bridge. In the Event Match "{{ssb|Dark Link Duel}}," [[Dark Link]] is fought on this Stage. In addition, along with the [[Tetra's Ship|Pirate Ship]], it is one of two Stages where Fighters can fight any one of the characters from {{TLoZ|-}} franchise in {{ssb|Classic Mode}}.

{{Noncanon|End}}
 
==Trivia==
*In {{TP|-}} during the horseback portion of the battle against [[Ganondorf]], the Bridge will appear destroyed regardless of whether or not it was repaired.
*In some copies of {{TP|-}}, there is a game breaking glitch which prevents Link from advancing to the Lanayru Province. If the game is saved and then quit after the Bridge has been destroyed, but before entering the [[Twilight]], Link will appear on the south side of the bridge after opening the file, making it impossible to continue through the game.
