In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]'', Link wins the Boomerang in the second temple, [[Snow Temple]]. To control the Boomerang, he can do the same thing as in ''Phantom Hourglass''; draw a line on the bottom screen of the Nintendo DS, and it will follow the same route. | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]'', Link wins the Boomerang in the second temple, [[Snow Temple]].

Often | Often there are enemies that cannot be hit from the front, so Link must draw a path with the boomerang and hit the enemy on its backside in order to stun it. While some enemies can be defeated with one hit of the boomerang, many others will only be stunned. This will, however, give Link an opportunity to finish them off with his sword. The boomerang is also capable of equipping fire and ice along its way. If Link targets a lit torch and then an enemy, the boomerang will carry the fire and can burn the enemy that Link targets. Link can use the boomerang on ice torches and then send it over water, which will cause the water to freeze and ice platforms to appear that Link can walk over. | ||
The boomerang is very commonly used to hit switches or other objects in order to solve puzzles. At times Link might need to hit several objects consecutively in a certain order to solve a puzzle and open a closed door, or to access a treasure chest. Other times Link must hit a distant object in order to create a bridge, or to lower or raise a platform to allow him to access new areas. | The boomerang is very commonly used to hit switches or other objects in order to solve puzzles.

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. | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|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]].

The Boomerang appears as an available item in many stages, beginning with the first section of the [[Volcano]], the [[Blazing Trail]]. Like in past games, it can be used to stun or defeat enemies, hit switches, and retrieve distant items, including other Links. The boomerang can also be used to transfer fire between torches, similarly to its use in ''Phantom Hourglass'' and ''Spirit Tracks''. It can be upgraded by wearing the [[Boomeranger]] costume, which grants it increased range, size, and damage output, as well as the ability to carry two items at once. | |||
===Breath of the Wild=== | ===Breath of the Wild=== | ||
The Boomerang makes a return in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', but this time in many forms, including the standard Boomerang, [[Giant Boomerang]], [[Lizal Boomerang]], and more. This weapon can be used as a sword, through means of melee attacks, but can also be thrown like a traditional boomerang. If it hits a solid object, it will lose all momentum and drop to the ground. In order to retrieve a boomerang after it has been thrown, the player must hit the A button as it nears Link. In the case of this not happening, it will keep going for a small distance and drop to the ground, where it can be picked up. | The Boomerang makes a return in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', but this time in many forms, including the standard Boomerang, [[Giant Boomerang]], [[Lizal Boomerang]], and more.
