The Bridge of Eldin is a bridge found in Twilight Princess which essentially connects the Eldin Province to a path that leads to the Lanayru Province.[1] It also serves as the main access road to the Hidden Village.[1]

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 ends up rescuing Colin from the Bulblin's grasp. Once the young hero clears the Goron Mines and goes past this bridge in way to the next province, a significant portion of the bridge is removed by Zant's Shadow Beasts, thus blocking the path. Defeating the beasts causes for a Twilight Portal to be created, but it cannot be used due to the bridge's removal.

Link eventually finds what appears to be the removed section of the Bridge of Eldin in the western part of the Gerudo Desert. With the aid of Midna, Link warps back to the area where the bridge of Eldin was removed.[2] 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.

When Link returns to the Gerudo Mesa, he will discover a cave that was originally sealed off by the bridge section. The cave is in fact the Cave of Ordeals.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Template:SSB Stages 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".
