The '''Bomb''' is a classic ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|Zelda]]'' item found throughout the series. It has appeared in every game except ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]''. Bombs are most often used to blow up walls to uncover secrets, and they are regularly stored in a [[Bomb Bag]]. Different varieties and uses of Bombs have been seen throughout the Zelda series.
 
==Controls==
The Controls players has used to use Bombs have changed constantly throughout the series. From slot setting to motion controls, all controls are described below.
 
===Button Controls===
Button Controls are easily the most simple controls of them all. In order to use a Bomb in these games, the player had to first select the Bombs from his item screen, equip it into an item slot, and finally press the aforementioned item slot button, usually either A or B, and then press the button again to throw/place the Bomb. These controls are simplistic and easily memorized, making for a great and easy gameplay mechanic. Games that use this system are ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords|Four Swords]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', and the [[Nintendo Gamecube|GCN]] version of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''.
 
===Simple Motion Controls===
The next Control system used to use Bombs can be called the Simple Motion Controls. This system is only found in the [[Nintendo Wii|Wii]] version of ''Twilight Princess''. The controls in this system are almost exactly the same as the previous system. All the steps done are exactly the same, the only difference is the last step. Instead of pressing the button again to place the Bomb, the player can either press the button or move the Wii Remote. This will cause Link to throw the Bomb in-game. It is very simple, and can be mastered very easily.
 
===Touch Screen Controls===
The third control scheme can be called Touch Screen Controls. As can be guessed by using its name, this system requires using the touch screen on the [[Nintendo DS]] to control Link's Bombs. This can be done by first equiping the Bombs, and then pressing the symbol in the top-right corner of the screen. This will cause Link to take out a Bomb and hold it over his head. In order to throw the Bomb, the player can press the location he/she would like the Bomb to go with the stylus. Link will proceed to throw the Bomb directly to that spot, making for some interesting puzzles. This system is found in the two games for the DS, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]''.
 
===MotionPlus Controls===
The fourth and final control system can be called the MotionPlus Controls. This system of controls use the Wii MotionPlus accessory, and thus is only found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'', the only game that uses Wii MotionPlus technology so far. After equiping the Bombs and taking one out, Bombs can be either rolled on the ground or thrown threw the air. To roll them, the player must lower the Wii Remote to a vertical position parallel to their legs. Quicking thrusting the remote back to its normal position will cause Link to roll the Bomb. Before doing so, the player can change the direction by moving the Control Stick on the Nunchuk. In order to throw, the player can do the opposite; rise the Wii Remote parallel with his head, and thrusting it downward. This control system is easily the most innovative yet.

Bomblings are an enemy found in the [[Forest Temple (Twilight Princess)|Forest Temple]] in ''Twilight Princess''. However, after Link completes the [[Lakebed Temple]], [[Barnes' Bombs|Barnes' bomb shop]] in [[Kakariko Village]] will carry them in item form. Link can hold 10 in his normal [[Bomb Bag]] and 20 in the [[Giant Bomb Bag]], that he gets from [[Iza]]. Bomblings act like [[Bombchu|Bombchus]], moving forward after they are placed. Unlike Bombchus, Bomblings are unable to move on walls or ceilings.

Unlike Bombchus, Bomblings are unable to move on walls or ceilings.
==Appearances==
The Bomb has appeared in every Legend of Zelda game apart from ''The Adventure of Link''. Below is a brief description of each games' different appearance and use.
===The Legend of Zelda===
The Bomb found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' were the first to be seen, and can be used to break down cracked walls, and to kill certain enemies, like a [[Dodongo]]. They can be obtained by either killing a whole bunch of enemies and hoping one of them drops a Bomb, or to go to one of the four shops found in [[Hyrule]] that sell them. The cost is 20 [[Rupee]]s for four Bombs. [[Link]] starts with a maximum capacity of eight Bombs.
====Upgrades====
There are two available upgrades that each allow Link to carry four more Bombs than before, to twelve and then to sixteen. Each upgrade can be recieved from the [[Old Man]], and cost 100 [[Rupee]]s. The locations of these upgrades are inside [[Level 5: The Lizard]] and [[Level 7: The Demon]].
===A Link to the Past===
===Link's Awakening===
===Ocarina of Time===
The first Bombs Link can use in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' are [[Bomb Flower]]s, which he can pick up and use after he has acquired the [[Goron's Bracelet]]. He can only use these types of Bombs until he has collected the [[Bomb Bag]], which can be found in [[Dodongo's Cavern]]. At first, the Bomb Bag only carries twenty Bombs, and can cause untimely shortages in Bombs. Fortunately, Link can upgrade the capacity to 30 by stopping the [[Hot Rodder Goron]], whom can be found on the middle section of the [[Goron City]]. The final upgrade allow Link to carry up to 40 Bombs, and it can be found at the [[Bombchu Bowling Alley]] as a prize for winning.
===Majora's Mask===
The Bombs in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' can only be used after Link has bought the Bomb Bag from the [[Bomb Shop]] in [[West Clock Town]]. They have a nearly identical use and appearance to their ''Ocarina of Time'' counterparts.
====Upgrades====
The Bomb Bag can be upgraded in this game to allow it to hold more Bombs. If Link the [[Old Lady from the Bomb Shop]] on the [[Night of the First Day]] from the thief [[Sakon]], Link can buy the [[Big Bomb Bag]] from the Bomb Shop. If he doesn't save the Old Lady, Link can buy it from the [[Curiosity Shop]] on the [[Final Day]] for a much higher price.
Also, Link can acquire the [[Biggest Bomb Bag]] from a [[Business Scrub]] located in the [[Goron Village]]. he others two methods of purchase:
*Buy it straight for 1000 [[Rupee]]s, OR
*Buy it in exchange for the Big Bomb Bag and 200 Rupees.
Seeing how Link maximum Rupee capacity is 500, the second option is the way to go.
===Oracle of Ages===
===Oracle of Seasons===
===Four Swords===
===The Wind Waker===
===Four Swords Adventures===
===The Minish Cap===
===Twilight Princess===
===Phantom Hourglass===
===Spirit Tracks===
===Skyward Sword===
The functions of the normal bomb were very much improved in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. Instead of just being able to place and throw Bombs, Link can roll them across the ground or toss them, giving him more control over their motion and where they land. Link can also store Bomb Flowers in his [[Bomb Bag]]. Also, if Link tries to use a bomb when he is on fire, it will immediately explode in his hands.
