Bridge of Eldin: Difference between revisions

The '''Bridge of Eldin''' is a location found in both ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''.  

The bridge is located to the north-western ([[Nintendo Wii|Wii]]) section of [[Hyrule]], in the [[Eldin Province]]. The Bridge of Eldin is an important feature within the game as it serves as a crucial connection between two notable provinces and is the scene of one of the games many [[Mini-Boss]] fights.  

When [[Link]] acquires the [[Iron Boots]], the secret to outmatching the [[Goron]]s, from [[Mayor Bo]], he needs to return to [[Death Mountain (Breath of the Wild)|Death Mountain]], thus passing through [[Kakariko Village (Breath of the Wild)|Kakariko Village]]. When Link enters the village, a cutscene takes place, showing [[King Bulblin]] charging through the village and kidnapping [[Colin]] in the process. After damaging King Bulblin's armor in a horseback battle in [[Hyrule Field (Breath of the Wild)|Hyrule Field]], Link and King Bulblin face one-on-one, upon the Bridge of Eldin. Link has to charge at King Bulblin while on [[Epona]] and then slice to knock him off the bridge. When Link succeeds in doing so, Colin is returned to Kakariko Village, where he thanks the hero and says he now understands true courage.{{Ref|TP|1405-1407|Colin}} Colin is then taken to rest within the safe confines of the [[Elde Inn]].  

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.  

A very different Bridge of Eldin is a location in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''.

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.
