===Structure and Appearance=== | |||
[[File:Eldin Bridge Under View.jpg|200px|left]] | |||
The bridge itself is one of the main structures and view points seen in ''Twilight Princess'' and it is one of two notable bridges within Hyrule, the other being the [[Great Bridge of Hylia]]. The structure itself is a large, stone arch bridge that is seemingly unsafe due to the bridge having no barriers and the fact that it is easily broken. It crosses a vast deep gorge in which a section of [[Zora's River]] passes through. The bridge itself is rather important within the events of the plot as it connects the Eldin Province to the [[Lanayru Province]]. | |||

===Story=== | |||
===Saving Colin=== | |||
[[File:Link Victorious-Eldin Bridge.jpg|280px|right|thumb|Link victorious after the battle with King Bulblin]] | |||
When [[Link]] acquires the [[Iron Boots]], the secret to outmatching the [[Goron]]s, from [[Mayor Bo]], he needs to return to [[Death Mountain (Breath of the Wild)|Death Mountain]], thus passing through [[Kakariko Village (Breath of the Wild)|Kakariko Village]]. When Link enters the village, a cutscene takes place, showing [[King Bulblin]] charging through the village and kidnapping [[Colin]] in the process. After damaging King Bulblin's armor in a horseback battle in [[Hyrule Field (Breath of the Wild)|Hyrule Field]], Link and King Bulblin face one-on-one, upon the Bridge of Eldin. Link has to charge at King Bulblin while on [[Epona]] and then slice to knock him off the bridge. When Link succeeds in doing so, Colin is returned to Kakariko Village, where he thanks the hero and says he now understands true courage.{{Ref|TP|1405-1407|Colin}} Colin is then taken to rest within the safe confines of the [[Elde Inn]]. | |||

Within this boss battle Link must pursue the evil King | Within this boss battle Link must pursue the evil King Bulblin who has kidnapped Link's childhood friend, Colin. King Bulblin blows into his loud horn thus summoning his subordinates who chase after Link as he pursues the King. Link must ride Epona and try to strike Bublin, each strike takes off a piece of his armor, making him more and more exposed. Once he has been damaged enough, King Bulblin loses control and jumps the barrier to enter Eldin Bridge. Link and King Bulblin then face off on opposing ends of the bridge in an epic encounter. Link must sway to the side of Bulblin and strike him as they charge each other. Once Bulblin has been damaged sufficiently, he loses control of his [[Lord Bullbo|steed]] and falls off the bridge into the vast gorge and Link is seen heroically holding up his sword while on Epona at the end of the grueling battle. | ||
===Finding the Missing Bridge=== | |||
When Link obtains the second [[Fused Shadow]], he has to cross the bridge to make his way into the [[Twilight]] that shrouds Lanayru Province.{{Ref|TP|4868|[[Gor Coron]]}}{{Ref|TP|1498-1499|Midna}} After traversing the gargantuan bridge, a part of the bridge is broken and then warped away by [[Shadow Beast]]s.{{Ref|TP|2125|Midna}} Until that part of the bridge is found, Link can't cross or [[Warping|warp]] to the bridge. Later on in the game, Link finds the missing piece in the [[Gerudo Desert (Breath of the Wild)|Gerudo Desert]]. It is located atop the [[Gerudo Mesa]], blocking the entrance to the [[Cave of Ordeals]]. Now that he has found it, [[Midna]] can warp the bridge back to where it belongs. In doing so, the Bridge of Eldin is once again complete, meaning Link is able to access the bridge as he pleases. | |||
===Sky Character=== | |||
Another point in the game where Link has to return to this area is when he has to find one of the six missing [[Sky Character]]s hidden across Hyrule. Link needs the Sky Characters in order to complete the [[Ancient Sky Book]], at [[Shad]]'s request.{{Ref|TP|4999-5000|Shad}} One of the characters is situated towards the northern section of the bridge, underneath an [[Owl Statue]]. Additionally, Link can bring this Owl Statue to the southern side of the bridge, where he can use it to access a [[Piece of Heart]]. | |||
==Other Games== | |||
===Breath of the Wild=== | |||
{{Main|Bridge of Eldin (Breath of the Wild)}} | |||
'''Bridge of Eldin''' is a location in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''. | |||
==Non-Canon Appearances== | |||

===Link's Crossbow Training=== | |||

{{Main|Bridge of Eldin: Defender}} | |||
The Bridge also makes an appearance in ''[[Link's Crossbow Training]]''. In this game, the Eldin Bridge is seen on level six, on the second stage, which is entitled [[Bridge of Eldin: Defender]]. This type of stage is a defender mode. Similar to the boss fight with King Bulblin, Link has to fend off multiple Bublins riding Bullbos while crossing the bridge. Link must try and shoot the Bulblins as well as the Bullbos to earn points. However, if he is hit, Link takes a 100-point deduction. To pass this stage Link must earn a total of 60,000 points. | |||
===Super Smash Bros. Brawl=== | |||
[[File:Eldin Bridge SSBB.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Eldin Bridge stage from Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] | |||
The Bridge of Eldin also makes an appearance in Nintendo's definitive fighting game, ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It is one of the 41 featured stages in the game as well as the third stage from [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. The stage is entirely flat, however, reminiscent of the boss battle, King Bulblin charges through the stage. Players must avoid King Bulblin otherwise they are knocked off the stage. After he has passed, the evil Bulblin leader drops a bomb that destroys the middle section of the bridge, again reminiscent of what happens in the main game. After a short while the missing bridge returns via a portal. | |||
In addition this stage is also seen in the versus mode in ''Brawl'', in match 18. Within this match Link encounters [[Dark Link]] and once defeated it unlocks the Dark Mountain Forest theme from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]''. | |||
This stage also appears in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''. It functions and looks the same way as it does in ''Brawl''. | |||
==Trivia== | |||
* The Bridge of Eldin is mostly in ruins. However, in early screenshots and trailers, it appeared much more intact. | |||
* Within ''[[Link's Crossbow Training]]'', the Bridge of Eldin appears different in appearance than in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', as there are walls and the bridge isn't in ruins. This may indicate that the game takes place in a different time frame to ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. | |||
* When traversing through [[Zora's River]] by boat, [[Link]] can look up and see the underneath section of the Bridge of Eldin. | |||
* In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', there is a common game breaker glitch that causes Link to be stuck on the opposite end of the bridge when trying to reach [[Lanayru Province]]. This only happens if Link saves before Link enters the [[Twilight]] after the bridge has been destroyed. | |||
