Within this boss battle Link must pursue the evil King Bulblin who has kidnapped Link's childhood friend, Colin. King Bulblin blows into his loud horn thus summoning his subordinates who chase after Link as he pursues the King. Link must ride Epona and try to strike Bublin, each strike takes off a piece of his armor, making him more and more exposed. Once he has been damaged enough, King Bulblin loses control and jumps the barrier to enter Eldin Bridge. Link and King Bulblin then face off on opposing ends of the bridge in an epic encounter. Link must sway to the side of Bulblin and strike him as they charge each other. Once Bulblin has been damaged sufficiently, he loses control of his [[Lord Bullbo|steed]] and falls off the bridge into the vast gorge and Link is seen heroically holding up his sword while on Epona at the end of the grueling battle.

The Bridge of Eldin also makes an appearance in ''[[Link's Crossbow Training]]'', in Level 6-2, which is entitled [[Bridge of Eldin: Defender]]. This type of stage is a defender mode. Similar to the boss fight with King Bulblin, Link has to fend off multiple Bublins riding Bullbos while crossing the bridge. Link must try and shoot the Bulblins as well as the Bullbos to earn points. However, if he is hit, Link takes a 100-point deduction. To pass this stage Link must earn a total of 60,000 points.

The Bridge of Eldin also makes an appearance in Nintendo's Wii fighting game, ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It is one of the 41 featured stages in the game as well as the third stage from [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. The stage is entirely flat, however, reminiscent of the boss battle, King Bulblin charges through the stage. Players must avoid King Bulblin otherwise they are knocked off the stage. After he has passed, the evil Bulblin leader drops a bomb that destroys the middle section of the bridge, again reminiscent of what happens in the main game. After a short while the missing bridge returns via a portal.

In addition this stage is also seen in the versus mode in ''Brawl'', in match 18. Within this match Link encounters [[Dark Link]] and once defeated it unlocks the Dark Mountain Forest theme from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]''.

==Trivia==
* The Bridge of Eldin is mostly in ruins. However, in early screenshots and trailers, it appeared much more intact.
* Within ''[[Link's Crossbow Training]]'', the Bridge of Eldin appears different in appearance than in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', as there are walls and the bridge isn't in ruins. This may indicate that the game takes place in a different time frame to ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''.
* When traversing through [[Zora's River]] by boat, [[Link]] can look up and see the underneath section of the Bridge of Eldin.
* In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', there is a common game breaker glitch that causes Link to be stuck on the opposite end of the bridge when trying to reach [[Lanayru Province]]. This only happens if Link saves before Link enters the [[Twilight]] after the bridge has been destroyed.
