In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'' one can combine Bombs with the [[Bow]], creating Bomb Arrows which can reach things [[Link]] cannot get to himself. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' Bomb Arrows can be equipped, making them much easier to use.

Bomb Flowers are most commonly found in volcanic areas such as [[Death Mountain]], [[Dragon Roost Island]], and [[Eldin Volcano]]. To use a Bomb Flower Link must pick it up and then throw it wherever he wants to. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' Link must acquire the [[Goron's Bracelet]] before he can pick up Bomb Flowers. In [[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]] Link can put Bomb Flowers in his [[Bomb Bag]] for later use. Also, in ''Ocarina of Time'', Bomb Flowers are rarely seen in sunny areas, as in, they usually grow in dark places.

In ''Ocarina of Time'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'' Bombchus move forward until they hit something and blow up. They are able to crawl on walls and ceilings. In ''Ocarina of Time'', they are used in the [[Bombchu Bowling Alley]] as well as for a puzzle in the [[Spirit Temple]] and [[Ganon's Tower]].

In ''Majora's Mask'' the Powder Keg is a more powerful bomb that can only be used by Link in his [[Goron Mask|Goron form]]. To be allowed to carry one, Link must use a Powder Keg to blow up the rock blocking the entrance to the [[Goron Racetrack]]. Later on, he can use it to blow up the giant rock in front of [[Romani Ranch]] on the first day in order to get [[Epona]] back and complete other sidequests before the third day (when the rock is broken by the carpenter). It is also used in Ikana Castle to create a hole in the roof. Link can only carry one at a time because they are extremely heavy.

The Blast Mask is another unique bombing item from ''Majora's Mask''. It is a [[Mask]] that can be used to blow up things, very similar to Bombs. When the Blast Mask is used it will take a while to charge up again, and it will also hurt Link. However, if he uses his [[Shield]] when activating the Blast Mask, he will not take any damage. Link gets this item by saving the Old Woman on the first night who would otherwise be robbed by [[Sakon]].

In ''Twilight Princess'' Link can carry Water Bombs which are able to explode underwater. To place a Water Bomb in the water, Link must be submerged in the water and be wearing the [[Iron Boots]]. Water Bombs can be purchased early on in the game from [[Barnes]], and later, if [[Malo]] opens his shop in [[Castle Town]], the Water Bombs can be purchased there for a very low price. To get the Water Bombs for free, Link can fish in a place with [[Bombfish]]([[Lakebed Temple]] for instance). He can catch them and store them in his [[Bomb Bag]].

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.{{clear}}

In [[Hyrule Warriors]], the Giant Bombs are a power-up to the normal bomb sub-weapon. The Giant Bomb can be used to take out large groups of enemies quickly, and quickly capture keeps.
