Boomerang: Difference between revisions

The '''Boomerang''' is a classic Zelda item, appearing in almost every title in some shape or form. It works by returning to [[Link]] after he has thrown it every time, making it very versatile. It can be used in many different ways, like to pick up items, or stun and even kill enemies, or to hit distant switches and much more.

The Boomerang debuted in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', which was also the debut of the [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|Zelda series]]. Link can use it by assigning it to either the A Slot or the B Slot and pressing that button to throw it. It can kill [[Keese]] with one hit and stun all other enemies, like [[Goriya]]s. After being thrown, it will only travel half the screen, making it very inconvenient. It is found in the first [[Dungeon]] of the game, [[Level 1: The Eagle|The Eagle]]. Later on in the game, Link will get an upgrade to the Boomerang, untitled the [[Magical Boomerang]]. This upgrade is found in the second dungeon, [[Level 2: The Moon|The Moon]]. It travels the length of the screen instead of half, which provides Link with a more convenient weapon.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', Link gets the Boomerang (also called the [[Gale Boomerang]]) in the first temple, the [[Forest Temple (Twilight Princess)|Forest Temple]]. The Gale Boomerang is different from the ones found in other games in that it gives the user the "Power of Winds". After Link defeats the [[Mini-Boss]] of the Forest Temple, the possessed baboon leader [[Ook]], he receives the Boomerang and gains the ability to make a hurricane of wind. The player can throw the Boomerang up to five times in various directions.
