The Bridge of Eldin is a location in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. It is a large stone bridge connecting Hyrule Field to northern part of the Eldin province. Bulblin Archers are common enemies around this area and are normally located at the apposings ends of the bridge.

After Link has acquired the Iron Boots from Mayor Bo, he will need to return to Death Mountain, thus passing through 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 Bulbins armor in a horseback battle in Hyrule Field, Link and King Bulblin will face upon the Bridge of Eldin. Link will have to charge at King Bulbin and then swip at him with his sword to knock him off the bridge. After Link succeeds in doing so, Colin will be returned to Kakariko Village, where he will rest in the Elde Inn.

After obtaining the second Fused Shadow, Link will have to cross the bridge to make his way into the Lanayru Province. After crossing, a part of the bridge is warped away by the Shadow Beasts. Until that part of the bridge is found, Link can't cross or warp to the bridge. Later on in the game Link will find the missing piece in the Gerudo Desert, 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 will be once again be complete, meaning Link will be able to access the bridge as he pleases.

Another point in the game where Link will have to return to this area is when he has to find the six missing Sky Characters across Hyrule. One is located in 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.
