'''Bomb Flowers''' can be seen throughout [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. They are [[Bomb]]s that grow in the ground that [[Link]] can pick up and throw or roll to use against enemies. They can be used as simple bombs after being picked, i.e. to blow up blocked passageways or rooms. They are activated once they're picked up, so Link has a limited amount of time before they will explode in his hand. In ''Skyward Sword'', Link has the option of picking up Bomb Flowers and storing them in his [[Bomb Bag]], which he obtains in the [[Earth Temple (Skyward Sword)|Earth Temple]].

===Ocarina of Time===

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', Link can pick up Bomb Flowers to use before he gets the [[Bomb Bag]]. As a child, Link must obtain the [[Goron's Bracelet]] from [[Darunia]] before being able to pick them up. Bomb Flowers can be found in [[Goron City]], [[Death Mountain]] and [[Dodongo's Cavern]]. In this cavern, there is a very clever puzzle involving bomb flowers.

===Oracle of Seasons===

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'', the Bomb Flower is acquired in [[Subrosia]] and is needed to clear the way for the Tower of Autumn. By using the Bomb Flower, it not only gives Link entry to the Autumn Tower (which will give his [[Rod of Seasons]] the Power of Autumn) but it also allows him to use the furnaces in order to make [[Hard Ore]] using [[Red Ore]] and [[Blue Ore]].

===Oracle of Ages===

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'', retrieving a Bomb Flower is vital in order for Link to rescue the [[Goron Elder (Oracle of Ages)|Goron Elder]]. This will allow Link to progress further in the game.

===The Wind Waker===

Bomb Flowers in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' are found in many places around the [[Great Sea]]. Link can pick one up, and throw or drop it before it grows back. They will respawn after a little bit.

===Twilight Princess===

Bomb Flowers did not actually appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', but something very similar called a [[Bombling]] did. These mobile little critters will come out of holes in the ground and ran at Link, attempting an attack. At first, they are simple enemies that appear exclusively in the [[Forest Temple (Twilight Princess)|Forest Temple]]. However, after Link has obtained the [[Master Sword]], [[Barnes]] will start selling them at his [[Barnes Bombs|shop]].

===Skyward Sword===

Bomb Flowers appear once again in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'', but this time around, Link has the ability to pick one up, and store it in his [[Bomb Bag]] for later use.

===A Link Between Worlds===

A single Bomb Flower appears in Lorule, acting as a replacement for the [[Super Bomb]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]''. This Bomb Flower is very large, and much like the Super Bomb, will follow Link around until it is ignited. Unlike the Super Bomb, it is only necessary to purchase the Bomb Flower once; it will re-grow where Link picks it from, allowing infinite uses. Also unlike the Super Bomb, there are multiple uses for the Bomb Flower in the form of several large, breakable walls that can only be destroyed by detonating the Bomb Flower next to them.
