The '''Bombchu''' is a recurring item that appears in multiple [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'']] titles. Unlike [[Bomb]]s, which can only be thrown or placed, a Bombchu will crawl forward after being placed on the ground until it makes contact with something, at which point it will explode. It can also crawl up walls. It is very useful against enemies that are far away. Its name and appearance are based on the creature known as a [[Real Bombchu]].


The '''Bombchu''' is an item that appears in 6 [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Zelda'']] titles: ''[[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 Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]''. It is almost exactly like a [[bomb]], with only a couple of differences. A Bombchu can be placed on the ground, from which it will crawl forward until it makes contact with something, and at that point it will explode. It can also crawl up walls. It appears to look like a mouse, hence crawling on the floor. It is very useful against enemies that are far away.
