In ''Phantom Hourglass'', Bombchus are obtained in the [[Goron Temple]]. They are used very differently to in the previous ''Zelda'' titles, as in this game you can control them by drawing their path on the touchscreen.

Link can move around while the Bombchu is moving, and some puzzles make this necessary. There are little holes in walls in many places, and Bombchus are the only things that can fit through these holes. The Bombchus in this game are not carried in the Bomb Bag, but in the [[Bombchu Bag]].

Bombchus are recurring items in The Legend of Zelda series. Unlike Bombs, which can only be thrown or placed, Bombchus run forward after being placed on the ground until they make contact with something, at which point they explode. They can also run up walls. They are very useful against enemies that are far away. Its name and appearance are based on the creature known as a Real Bombchu.
