Appearances

Twilight Princess

In Twilight Princess, the Bridge of Eldin is a bridge found north of Kakariko Village that 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, the young hero 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.

Link's Crossbow Training

The The Bridge of Eldin appears as a Defender Mode scenario in Stage 6 of Link's Crossbow Training. Link is chased by Bokoblins, some riding on bullbos and firing flaming arrows. Kargaroks and bokoblins will also be found chasing Link. Link's mission is basically to cross the bridge, similiar to the caravan sidequest in Twilight Princess.

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 its ends extend beyond the left and right boundaries, making it possible to walk off the stage to a KO. This normally leaves no way to be KOed by a fall, but every once in a while, King Bulblin will ride across the stage on Lord Bullbo and blast open a gap in the bridge with an explosive barrel. After some time, the missing portion of the bridge will be restored via a Twilight Portal. In the Event Match "Dark Link Duel," Dark Link is fought on this stage. In addition, along with Pirate Ship, it is one of two stages where the player can fight any one of the characters from the Legend of Zelda series in the first fight of Classic Mode.
