'''Bombs ''' are recurring items in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. They have appeared in every game except ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]''. Bombs are most often used to blow up walls to uncover secrets, and they are regularly stored in a [[Bomb Bag]]. Different varieties and uses of Bombs have been seen throughout the series. | |||

===Button Controls=== | ===Button Controls=== | ||
Button Controls are easily the most simple controls of them all. In order to use a Bomb in these games, | Button Controls are easily the most simple controls of them all. In order to use a Bomb in these games, Link had to first select the Bombs from his item screen, equip it into an item slot, and finally press the aforementioned item slot button, usually either A or B, and then press the button again to throw/place the Bomb. These controls are simplistic and easily memorized, making for a great and easy gameplay mechanic. Games that use this system are ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|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]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords|Four Swords]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', and the [[Nintendo GameCube|GCN]] version of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. | ||

The next Control system used to use Bombs can be called the Simple Motion Controls. This system is only found in the [[Nintendo Wii|Wii]] version of ''Twilight Princess''. The controls in this system are almost exactly the same as the previous system. All the steps done are exactly the same, the only difference is the last step. Instead of pressing the button again to place the Bomb, | The next Control system used to use Bombs can be called the Simple Motion Controls. This system is only found in the [[Nintendo Wii|Wii]] version of ''Twilight Princess''. The controls in this system are almost exactly the same as the previous system. All the steps done are exactly the same, the only difference is the last step. Instead of pressing the button again to place the Bomb, you can either press the button or move the Wii Remote. This will cause Link to throw the Bomb in-game. It is very simple, and can be mastered very easily. | ||
===Touch Screen Controls=== | ===Touch Screen Controls=== | ||
The third control scheme can be called Touch Screen Controls. As can be guessed by using its name, this system requires using the touch screen on the [[Nintendo DS]] to control Link's Bombs. This can be done by first equipping the Bombs, and then pressing the symbol in the top-right corner of the screen. This will cause Link to take out a Bomb and hold it over his head.

This can be done by first equipping the Bombs, and then pressing the symbol in the top-right corner of the screen. This will cause Link to take out a Bomb and hold it over his head. In order to throw the Bomb, press the location you would like the Bomb to go with the stylus. Link will proceed to throw the Bomb directly to that spot. This system is found in the two games for the DS, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]''. | ||
===MotionPlus Controls=== | ===MotionPlus Controls=== | ||
The fourth and final control system can be called the MotionPlus Controls. This system of controls use the Wii MotionPlus accessory, and thus is only found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'', the only game that uses Wii MotionPlus technology so far. After equipping the Bombs and taking one out, Bombs can be either rolled on the ground or thrown threw the air. To roll them, | The fourth and final control system can be called the MotionPlus Controls. This system of controls use the Wii MotionPlus accessory, and thus is only found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'', the only game that uses Wii MotionPlus technology so far. After equipping the Bombs and taking one out, Bombs can be either rolled on the ground or thrown threw the air. To roll them, you must lower the Wii Remote to a vertical position parallel to their legs. Quicking thrusting the remote back to its normal position will cause Link to roll the Bomb. Before doing so, you can change the direction by moving the Control Stick on the Nunchuk. In order to throw, you can do the opposite; raise the Wii Remote parallel with Link's head, and thrusting it downward. This control system is easily the most innovative yet. | ||

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'' | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', Link can combine Bombs with the [[Bow]], creating Bomb Arrows which can reach things [[Link]] cannot get to himself.
