First appearing in {{OoT|-}}, Bombchus are a special Bomb that are self-propelled devices that can traverse floors — and in the 3D games, walls and ceilings — with little effort, holding a constant speed until it reaches an enemy or a destructible obstacle. In {{MM3D|-}}, there appears to be a [[Hylian Language Translations/Majora's Mask#Bomb Shop|rejected sketch]] of a prototype with large, spoke wheels on the exterior. It could be assumed that the wheels were moved to the underside of the device. While there have been many takes on mechanized moving bombs in the real world, most curious would be the manner in how Bombchus can move across ceilings and walls, regardless of the surface or angles involved. It could be that there is some form adhesive on the assumed wheels, which would provide limited grip. Lastly, in {{PH|-}}, Bombchus can be given an on-the-go, customized path control, achieved by using the stylus. This would imply either manual remote control (and therefore, radio or sonic transmission), or some kind of on-board computer that can be quickly programmed to set a route.

Inhabited and run by [[Gerudo]] pirates, the [[Pirates' Fortress]] is a well-developed metallurgical building, capable of operating with currents of water (as seen underwater in the outer area), and disposing of small-sized telescopes for distant watch, thermally regulated aquariums to guard [[Zora Egg]]s, and cannons for long-distance attacks, among other things. Likewise, the pirates travel through water thanks to motorboats (whose fuel is likely stored in the metal barrels seen in some rooms). This technology may not actually belong to them, however. In the {{Term|MM3D|Marine Research Lab|link}}, there is a thermally-regulated aquarium as well, and is even deeper than the ones seen in the fortress. Likewise, the [[Fisherman]] has a motorboat to help tourists reach his island to play the [[Fisherman's Jumping Game]]; so either the Gerudo tribe copied the engineery, or it's simply a commonplace aspect of [[Great Bay]] as a whole. | Inhabited and run by [[Gerudo]] pirates, the [[Pirates' Fortress]] is a well-developed metallurgical building, capable of operating with currents of water (as seen underwater in the outer area), and disposing of small-sized telescopes for distant watch, thermally regulated aquariums to guard [[Zora Egg]]s, and cannons for long-distance attacks, among other things.

These are blasted by [[Auru]], who is seen hefting a fairly large launch tube, the design of which suggests something comparable to classical Chinese {{Wp|fire arrow}}s. | ||
