'''Bombs''' are explosive items that appear in most titles of ''[[The Legend of Zelda (series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' franchise. They first appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', and have appeared in every [[The Legend of Zelda (series)|main series]] title except ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]''.

Bombs are essential for [[Link]] to blow up cracked objects in his path, usually a [[rock]] or [[bombable wall|wall]], so that he can progress. When Link places a bomb, it explodes after a few seconds; a bomb flashes red just before it explodes. Link can also use bombs as a weapon against enemies, and many of them get defeated instantly if they are caught within the blast radius.

Link can obtain bombs through various means; he can buy them from a store or merchant, and can sometimes find bombs by breaking a [[pot]] or slashing [[bush]]es. Some enemies drop bombs when defeated.

==History==
===''The Legend of Zelda'' series===
====''The Legend of Zelda''====
Bombs first appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]''. Here, they can be used to blow up walls on the overworld and in dungeons, and are necessary to defeat [[Dodongo]]s. [[Gibdo]]s occasionally visibly carry bombs.

====''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past''====
Bombs make a second appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]''. In this game, Link can pick up and carry bombs he has placed around. If Link does not quickly place a bomb he is carrying, it explodes on him, causing him to be damaged. There is also a [[Super Bomb]] available at a shop in the [[Dark World]], which will follow Link around the overworld and explode if attacked. Green bombs are used by [[Bomb Soldier]]s, [[Hinox]]es, and [[Sluggula|Bomb Slug]]s.

====''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening''====
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'', bombs are mostly the same as in ''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past'', except Link does not get injured if he is caught within the blast radius of a bomb that he throws. Link can buy bombs from the [[Town Tool Shop]]. If he uses a bomb at the same time as an [[arrow]], it will create a [[Bomb Arrow]]. Bombs are additionally used by the enemies [[Zirro|Bomber]] and [[Mad Bomber]], which despite their similar English names are otherwise unrelated.

====''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time''====
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'', Link cannot carry bombs unless he has obtained a [[Bomb Bag]]. Instead of placing bombs immediately upon using them, Link will automatically carry them while lit, meaning he has to drop or throw them to not get hurt. Due to graphical limitations, bombs only use a model when being collected from a chest or a shop, with them otherwise being shown as sprites. The game introduces [[Bomb Flower]]s, an explosive type of plant that act the same as bombs, as well as [[Bombchu]], a mouse-shaped mobile bomb that can climb walls. Enemies do not use bombs, though as part of an Easter egg a [[Hylian soldier]] can throw one into [[Princess Zelda]]'s chamber.

====''The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask''====
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]'', bombs and the Bomb Bag can be obtained quite early in the game at the [[Bomb Shop]] in western [[Clock Town]]. Bombchu and Bomb Flowers return, and two new explosives, the wearable [[Blast Mask]] and powerful [[Powder Keg]] are introduced. The [[Real Bombchu]] enemy has a bomb on the end of its tail.

====''The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons/Ages''====
[[File:Ten Bombs obtained in OoS.png|thumb|Link obtains ten Bombs in ''The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons'']]
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages]]'', Bombs retain their appearance from ''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening'', but are used in a that is more similar to ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'' because Link starts carrying them when used, so they need to be thrown.

In ''The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons'', Link can obtain ten Bombs from a [[treasure chest]] in the [[Gnarled Root Dungeon]]. In ''The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages'', Link can trade [[Mystery Seed]]s to [[Queen Ambi]] in exchange for ten Bombs.

In both games, there are some [[ring]]s that change the way in which Bombs are used; the [[Bombproof Ring]] protects Link from being damaged by bomb blasts, the [[Bomber's Ring]] allows Link to place two Bombs at once, the Blast Ring doubles the power of Link's Bombs, and the [[Peace Ring]] allows Link to hold a lit bomb without it exploding. In either game, a certain [[secret]] can be traded via a [[Link System|linked game]] to allow Link to hold even more Bombs.

====''The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords''====
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords]]'', bombs appear as one of the many items available from podiums placed throughout the game, and act like they do in previous games.

====''The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker''====
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]]'', Link can carry up to 30 bombs by default. The bombs at the Bomb Shop of [[Windfall Island]] are originally priced at 10,000 [[rupee]]s, but after [[Tetra]] and her pirate crew raid the Bomb Shop, the shop owner lowers the price of the bombs.

===''Link: The Faces of Evil'' / ''Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon''===
In ''[[Link: The Faces of Evil]]'' and ''[[Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon]]'', three bombs can be bought from the respective shopkeeper for twenty [[Rupee|Rubies]]. Link and [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] can hold up to 99 bombs. They are used to destroy obstacles like [[boulder]]s and skull-topped barriers, and can also blow up nearby enemies. If a bomb hits a boulder or an enemy, it will explode instantly, and if it hits a wall, skull-topped barrier, or [[Darknut]] shield, it will bounce off of it. The bomb's explosions cannot harm Link or Zelda. 

In ''Link: The Faces of Evil'', the [[Gleeok]], [[Dodongo]]s, and [[Glutko (boss)|Glutko]] can only be defeated with bombs.
