Bomb: Difference between revisions

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 equiping 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, the player can press the location he/she would like the Bomb to go with the stylus. Link will proceed to throw the Bomb directly to that spot, making for some interesting puzzles. 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]]''.

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 equiping the Bombs and taking one out, Bombs can be either rolled on the ground or thrown threw the air. To roll them, the player 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, the player can change the direction by moving the Control Stick on the Nunchuk. In order to throw, the player can do the opposite; rise the Wii Remote parallel with his 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]]'' one can combine Bombs with the [[Bow]], creating Bomb Arrows which can reach things [[Link]] can not get to himself. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' Bomb Arrows can be equipped, making them much easier to use.

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.
