Template:Item

The Boomerang is a classic The Legend of Zelda item, appearing in almost every title in some shape or form. It works by returning to Link after he has thrown it every time, making it very versatile. It can be used in many different ways, like to pick up items, or stun and even kill enemies, or to hit distant switches and much more.

Appearances

The Legend of Zelda

The Boomerang debuted in The Legend of Zelda, which was also the debut of the Zelda series. Link can use it by assigning it to either the A Slot or the B Slot and pressing that button to throw it. It can kill Keese with one hit and stun all other enemies, like Goriyas. After being thrown, it will only travel half the screen, making it very inconvenient. It is found in the first Dungeon of the game, The Eagle. Later on in the game, Link will get an upgrade to the Boomerang, entitled the Magical Boomerang. This upgrade is found in the second dungeon, The Moon. It travels the length of the screen instead of half, which provides Link with a more convenient weapon.

A Link to the Past

"Boomerang
The Boomerang has weak destructive power, but it has the ability to stun most enemies for a short period of time. The Boomerang is the item of choice when walking about Hyrule because you can use it to quickly retrieve items such as Hearts, Rupees, Arrows and Bombs.
"

— Nintendo Power Player's Guide

"Link can't throw the Blue Boomerang too far, but he'll be able to retrieve items within a short distance."

— Nintendo Power Player's Guide

"Blue Boomerang
Link will pick up the Blue Boomerang in Hyrule Castle.
"

— Nintendo Power Player's Guide

In A Link to the Past, the Boomerang can be found in Hyrule Castle. It does the same thing it did in The Legend of Zelda: paralyze enemies and bring items from afar. It also has an upgrade, a red version, which can make the rounds launched by pressing the D-Pad. In the GBA version, the Boomerang can do things that it previously did not like mowing the lawn when released, etc.

Link's Awakening

In Link's Awakening, the Boomerang appears as the final item in the Trading Sequence. It is given to Link by the Secret Goriya at Toronbo Shores. With it, Link can easily defeat several enemies that previously were much more difficult, such as DethI, the final form of The Shadow Nightmares, who can be killed with one shot from the Boomerang.

Ocarina of Time

The Boomerang in Ocarina of Time is very similar to Boomerangs from previous titles, except in 3D. It can stun enemies, grab stuff, etc. It can be found Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly, the 3rd Dungeon of the game. It was one of the many items Link lost the ability to use while in the future. The Hookshot replaced the Boomerang while Link is an adult, though it was much more useful, and much easier to control.

Oracle of Seasons

The Boomerang can be obtained from the Subrosian Dance Hall in Subrosia after dancing with it's inhabitants the correct pattern. Its uses are similar to Ocarina of Time's.

Four Swords

Four Sword Adventures

The Wind Waker

The Boomerang in The Wind Waker is the first one to be able to lock onto multiple targets at once; five to be exact. It is found in the Forbidden Woods.

The Minish Cap

There are two Boomerangs in this game. The regular boomerang works like in previous Zelda games and can be bought in Castle Town for 300 Rupees. The Magical Boomerang can be obtained after Tingle's sidequest and fusing Kinstones. It can be controlled with the D-Pad. It will be found in North Hyrule Field.

Twilight Princess

Main article: Gale Boomerang

In Twilight Princess, Link gets the Boomerang, which is called the Gale Boomerang, in the first dungeon, the Forest Temple. The Gale Boomerang is different from the ones found in other games in that it gives the user the Power of Winds. After Link defeats the Mini-Boss of the Forest Temple, the possessed baboon leader Ook, he receives the Boomerang and gains the ability to make a hurricane of wind. The player can throw the Boomerang up to five times in various directions.

Phantom Hourglass

In Phantom Hourglass, Link receives the Boomerang in the first temple, the Temple of Fire. Instead of just launching the Boomerang as in previous Zelda titles, the player must draw a line on the screen of the Nintendo DS. The Boomerang will follow the same route of the line. If a torch is out and is next to a lighted torch, Link can route the torch lit and then extinguished the torch and it will cause the boomerang catch fire and ignite the torch. This is one of several features that Boomerang can do in this game.

Spirit Tracks

In 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. The Boomerang in Spirit Tracks does different things, and one of them is the ability to create ice bridges in the water when it is passed on the torch and passed into water, creating ice bridges, which Link may walk across.
