Boomerang: Difference between revisions

The Boomerang makes its debut in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. Link can use it by assigning it to the B Slot and pressing that button to throw it. It can damage smaller enemies,{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda]] Game Manual'', pg. 24|Link can use [the boomerang] to inflict damage on weak enemies.}} such as [[Keese]], and stun all other enemies,{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda]] Game Manual'', pg. 24|[Link] can also stop  most of the enemy in their tracks if he throws the boomerang on target.}} like [[Goriya]]s. After being thrown, it only travels half the screen, making it very inconvenient. It is found in the first dungeon of the game, [[Level 1: The Eagle|The Eagle]]. Later on in the game, Link gets an upgrade to the Boomerang, entitled the [[Magical Boomerang]]. This upgrade is found in the second dungeon, [[Level 2: The Moon|The Moon]]. It travels much further than the original Boomerang,{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda]] Game Manual'', pg. 24|The magical boomerang flies further then the wooden boomerang.}} making it a much better weapon in combat.

In ''[[A Link Between Worlds]]'', the Boomerang is a rentable, and later purchasable item that can be found at any point in [[Ravio's Shop]] after completing the [[Eastern Palace (A Link Between Worlds)|Eastern Palace]]. It can be used to stun enemies, cut grass, grab items, and flip switches, similarly to most other ''Zelda'' games. After purchasing it for 800 Rupees, it can be upgraded by [[Mother Maiamai]] by collecting ten baby [[Maiamai]]. This turns it into the [[Nice Boomerang]], which functions the same, but with increased speed, and a triple throw.
