The Magical Boomerang is a recurring item in The Legend of Zelda series.

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 Magical Boomerang travels further than the normal Boomerang,[1] making it a much more reliable option in combat. Most enemies are simply stunned when the Boomerang hits them.[2] However, some small enemies, like Keese and Gel, can be damaged using the Magical Boomerang.[3] In the Second Quest, the Magical Boomerang is found in Level 3 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.

The Magical Boomerang is found early in both Level 3 of MAP1 and Level 3 of MAP2 by killing all the Goriyas in the south-easternmost room of each dungeon. As with the basic Boomerang, stuns most basic enemies, but kills Keese and Gels outright; and can also be used to collect items out of reach. It flies farther and faster than the basic Boomerang.
