Appearances

The Legend of Zelda

The Magical Boomerang is an upgrade to the Boomerang in The Legend of Zelda. In the First Quest, it is found in Level 2: The Moon. It is guarded by three Blue Goriyas, all of which must be defeated. The main difference between this version of the Boomerang is the fact that the original one only traveled half the screen, while this one travels the full length of the screen. Most enemies will be simply stunned when the Boomerang hits them. However, some small enemies, e.g., Keese and Gel, will be defeated on contact. In the Second Quest, it is found in Level 3: The Manji instead of Level 2.

A Link to the Past

"Boomerang
The Boomerang has weak destructive power, but it has the ability to stun most enemies for a short period of time. The Boomerang is the item of choice when walking about Hyrule because you can use it to quickly retrieve items such as Hearts, Rupees, Arrows and Bombs."

"Magical Boomerang
The Mysterious Pond behind a waterfall is where Link will be able to get the Magical Boomerang. The resident Faerie will exchange Link’s Blue Boomerang for a Magical red one."
