**Bombs** are recurring Items in *The Legend of Zelda* series.[*name reference needed*]

## Location and Uses

Bombs are devices used to create explosions. Only seconds after they are set, they will typically flash red and then explode in a puff of smoke and fire. Like most items in *The Legend of Zelda* series that come in quantities, Bombs can often be found in various objects, such as Jars, Grass, and Treasure Chests. They can also be purchased in Markets or found by defeating enemies. Bombs can be used in a variety of ways, such as for blowing up rocks or walls, defeating enemies, and solving Puzzles. Since *A Link to the Past*, Link can pick up, carry, and throw Bombs. In some games, Link can find out which walls can be bombed by hitting or tapping them with his Sword.

### *The Legend of Zelda*

***The Legend of Zelda* Manual Description**
> BombSet one of these, and Link can overpower the enemy with the explosive blast.

Bombs first appear in *The Legend of Zelda* and can be used to damage certain enemies or reveal hidden passageways in walls within Dungeons and the Overworld. These passageways often create shortcuts in Dungeons and lead to Caves in the Overworld that contain Shops or Old Men. When used, Bombs are placed directly in front of Link and explode shortly after. Bombs can only be obtained in bundles of four by purchasing them in a Shop for 20 Rupees or by defeating enemies. The only enemies that drop Bombs when defeated are blue Red Octoroks, blue Moblins, red Red Goriyas, red Darknuts, Vires, Gibdos, red Wizzrobes, and blue Lynels. However, sometimes Bombs are rewarded to Link for defeating every enemy in certain rooms within Dungeons. Bombs are needed in order to defeat Dodongos and Link is usually rewarded with Bombs for defeating every Dodongo in a room. Links is always rewarded with Bombs for defeating a Dodongo by bombing their side and hitting them once with his Sword. Finally an obscure message from the Old Man in Death Mountain: "10TH ENEMY HAS THE BOMB" hints to a mechanic where defeating 9 enemies and destroying the 10th with a bomb, all without getting hit, would yield more bombs.

Link can hold up to eight Bombs at the start of the game, but can purchase the ability to hold more from two Old Men in Level 5 and Level 7 of the First Quest and Level 4 and Level 8 of the Second Quest. The first upgrade raises Link's Bomb capacity to 12 and the second raises it to a maximum of 16 Bombs. Each upgrade costs 100 Rupees.

### *A Link to the Past*

This section is incomplete.
**Reason: Which enemies drop bombs?**
You can help by adding the missing information.

***A Link to the Past* Manual Description**
> BombA bomb blast will damage enemies and knock holes in some walls, but it will also damage your character if he is too close to the blast. The bomb's fuse will burn for about two seconds, and up to two bombs can be set at a time. You can also pick up a bomb you have placed and throw it before it explodes (be careful!).

***A Link to the Past & Four Swords* Manual Description**
> BombsYou can set up to two bombs at a time. You can also pick them up and throw them.

In *A Link to the Past*, Bombs can be obtained either by finding them in objects or Treasure Chests, by defeating enemies, or purchasing them in a Shop, such as the Bomb Shop in the Dark World. Here Link can buy 30 Bombs for 100 Rupees. Bombs can be used to damage certain enemies or destroy loose rocks, cracked floors, or crumbling walls within Dungeons and the Overworld. When Link uses a Bomb, it is placed in a short distance in front of him and detonates soon after. However, Link can also pick the Bomb up and throw it before it detonates. This allows Link to activate Switches from afar. Bombs are an effective item for defeating Hinoxes, who throw Bombs when Link is nearby, allowing Link to throw their Bombs back at them without using his own Bombs. Bomb Soldiers also attack Link by throwing Bombs at him. Link can destroy the Helmasaur King's mask with Five Bombs instead of the Magic Hammer. Talking Timbers will shoot a Bomb out of their mouth if Link touches their face. If Link gets hurt by a Bomb, including his own Bombs, he will take one Heart of damage. If he is wearing the Blue Mail, he will instead lose half of a Heart and if he is wearing the Red Mail, he will lose a quarter of a Heart.

Link can carry a total of 10 Bombs initially, but can increase the number of Bombs he can carry at the Pond of Happiness in Lake Hylia. Every time Link tosses a total of 100 Rupees into the Pond, the Great Fairy Venus emerges to reward him with either an Arrow or Bomb capacity upgrade. If Link chooses to upgrade his Bomb capacity, Venus will grant him the ability to carry 5 more Bombs each time until he can carry 40 Bombs. At 40 Bombs, Link can upgrade one more time, granting him a maximum capacity of 50 Bombs. All of the upgrades cost a total of 700 Rupees.

Link can temporarily use a special variety of Bomb called the Super Bomb. After completing the Ice Palace and the Misery Mire, Link can purchase the Super Bomb from the Dark World's Bomb Shop for 100 Rupees. After purchase, Link will carry the Super Bomb with him and it will detonate wherever he places it.

### *Link's Awakening*

***Link's Awakening* Manual Description**
> BombThe explosive force of the device can damage enemies or knock holes in walls. After you have placed a Bomb, you can pick it up and throw it if you act quickly. You can place only a single Bomb at a time.

In *Link's Awakening*, Bombs can be obtained by defeating enemies, lifting certain objects such as Jar, grabbing them as Winged Items, or by purchasing some at the Town Tool Shop. Bombs can be used to damage certain enemies or destroy cracked walls and certain objects. Once used, Link can pick up Bombs to reset their detonation time, thus preventing them from exploding until thrown again. Link cannot be hurt by his own Bombs, but he can be damaged by Bombs used by enemies. In addition, there are Bomb-like enemies known as Bombites. If Link equips and uses both a Bombs and the Bow at the same time, he can fire a Bomb Arrow.

Link can initially carry 20 Bombs, but he can upgrade his carrying capacity to 60 Bombs by sprinkling Magic Powder on an underground altar to awaken the Mad Batter. The Mad Batter then asks Link if he is ready to carry more Bombs. If Link agrees, the Mad Batter will increase Link's Bomb carrying capacity.

### *Ocarina of Time*

***Ocarina of Time* Manual Description**
> BombDamage enemies or blow up walls with the Bomb. Be careful not to get too close to the blast or you may get hurt. Bombs explode approximately four seconds after you pick them up.

In *Ocarina of Time*, Bombs can be obtained in objects, by defeating enemies, or purchasing them at the Goron Shop in Goron City. Here Link can buy 5 Bombs for 25 Rupees, 10 Bombs for 50 Rupees, or 20 Bombs for 80 Rupees. Link cannot use or collect Bombs until he has obtained the Bomb Bag, the main item of Dodongo's Cavern. Link can use Bombs to damage enemies and destroy certain structures, such as walls. When Link uses a Bomb, he will pull one out of his inventory and hold it above his head as the fuse sparks. Link can then place the Bomb down or throw it. The Bomb will detonate after about four seconds, even if Link is still holding it. Link can be hurt by his own Bombs. Several large, yellow rocks can be found across the game which can be destroyed with Bombs. They often conceal Secret Grottos which house Treasure Chests and sometimes Pieces of Heart. If Link has the Shard of Agony, he can locate Secret Grottos that are hidden in the ground and can only be accessed by Bombing them open. Bombs are effective for defeating certain enemies, such as Beamos. Bombs are required in order to defeat the Boss of Dodongo's Cavern, King Dodongo.

Initially, the Bomb Bag can carry 20 Bombs. However, Link can upgrade it to the Big Bomb Bag, which holds 30 Bombs, and the Biggest Bomb Bag, which holds 40 Bombs. Link can obtain the upgrades by stopping the Hot Rodder Goron in Goron City as a child and by winning it in the Bombchu Bowling Alley Minigame. Link can also use other varieties of Bombs in *Ocarina of Time*.

The Bomb Flower is a plant that appears and functions like a Bomb. Link can detonate Bomb Flowers by either picking them up after obtaining the Goron's Bracelet, setting off another Bomb near them, shooting them with an Arrow, or touching them with a burning Deku Stick. The Bomb Flower grows back shortly after being plucked or detonated. Link can also collect Bombchus, which are explosives that move on their own. When Link places them down, they move forward in a jagged line across floors, walls, and ceilings and detonate after a certain period of time or after making contact with an object or enemy.

### *Majora's Mask*

***Majora's Mask* Manual Description**
> BombsPress the C Button once to lift bombs above your head, then press it again to either throw them or place them at your feet. Bombs will explode after a few moments and can be used to defeat enemies or knock down walls.

In order to collect and use Bombs, Link must have a Bomb Bag. Link can obtain a Bomb Bag by purchasing one at the Bomb Shop in West Clock Town for 50 Rupees. Link can carry 20 Bombs with the Bomb Bag, but can obtain the Big Bomb Bag to carry 30 Bombs and the Biggest Bomb Bag to carry 40 Bombs. Link can purchase the Big Bomb Bag for 90 Rupees at the Bomb Shop in West Clock Town after rescuing the Old Lady in North Clock Town from being robbed by Sakon the thief. Alternatively, Link can buy the Big Bomb Bag for 200 Rupees from the Business Scrub in Goron Village while wearing the Goron Mask. To obtain the Biggest Bomb Bag, Link must buy it from this Business Scrub for 200 Rupees while wearing the Goron Mask.

Link can use Bombs to damage enemies and destroy certain structures, such as walls. On the Second Day, the Honey and Darling's Shop hosts a Minigame in which Link must successfully throw Bombs into baskets while on a spinning platform.

Other varieties of Bombs in *Majora's Mask* include Bomb Flowers, Bombchus, and Powder Kegs. Powder Kegs are a special, powerful type of Bomb that can only be used by Goron Link. They are used to break the giant rocks blocking the path to Romani Ranch and the Goron Racetrack. Link can replicate the effects of Bombs by using the Blast Mask, a Mask which can cause explosions.

### *The Wind Waker*

In *The Wind Waker*, Link obtains Bombs by completing Niko's second Rope swinging challenges in Tetra's Ship at Windfall Island. Initially, Bombs are far too expensive for Link to afford, with 10 Bombs costing 10,000 Rupees at the Bomb Shop on the southern part of Windfall Island. However, after Tetra and her crew come and steal his Bombs, he lowers the prices. Link can then purchase 10 Bombs for 20 Rupees, 20 Bombs for 35 Rupees, and 30 Bombs for 50 Rupees. Link can also buy 30 Bombs for 60 Rupees from Beedle's Shop Ship. As soon Link has Bombs, he can use the Cannon on the King of Red Lions by using the Bomb item while on the boat. The Cannon allows him to fire his Bombs to distant objects and enemies in the Great Sea. If Link pulls out a Bomb near enemies, they will run away in terror to avoid the explosion. Link needs Bombs in order to defeat the Boss of the Tower of the Gods, Gohdan.

At first, Link can carry 30 Bombs, but he can upgrade his Bomb carrying capacity to 60 and then 99 by visiting the Great Fairies at Eastern Fairy Island and Southern Fairy Island.

Some giant bosses, such as King Dodongo, are particularly weak to them and can be used to make their Weak Point Gauge expose. The Bombs can be temporarily upgraded to a giant Bomb by collecting Bomb power-ups, which will throw one giant Bomb that clears a large area. Goron's Bracelet Badges in the Bazaar can be crafted to increase the duration of the upgrade.

In Adventure Mode, normal and Water Bombs appear as Item Cards. Normal Bombs are used to open cave entrances in mountain walls and to destroy boulders on land, whereas Water Bombs are used to destroy boulders on bodies of water.
