Bomb Flower

Bomb flowers can be seen throughout the Zelda series. They are bombs that grow in the ground that you can pick up and throw or roll to use against your enemies, or to blow up blocked passageways or rooms. They are activated once they're picked, so you can not carry them around for long. In Skyward Sword, you have the option of picking bomb flowers and storing them in your Bomb Bag, which you obtain in the Earth Temple.

Appearances

Ocarina of Time

In Ocarina of Time, Link can pick up Bomb Flowers to use before he gets the Bomb Bag. As a child, Link must obtain the Goron Bracelet from Darunia before being able to pick them up. Bomb Flowers can be found in Goron City, Death Mountain and Dodongo's Cavern. In this cavern, there is a very clever puzzle involving bomb flowers.

Oracle of Seasons

In Oracle of Seasons, the Bomb Flower is acquired in Subrosia and is needed to clear the way for the Tower of Autumn. By using the Bomb Flower, it not only gives you entry to the Autumn Tower (which will give your Rod of Seasons the Power of Autumn) but it also allows you to use the furnaces in order to make Hard Ore using Red Ore and Blue Ore.

Oracle of Ages

In Oracle of Ages, retrieving a Bomb Flower is vital in order for you to rescue the Goron Elder. This will allow Link to progress further in the game.

The Wind Waker

Bomb Flowers in The Wind Waker are found in many places around the Great Sea. Link can pick one up, and throw or drop it before it grows back. They will respawn after a little bit.

Twilight Princess

Main article: Bombling

Bomb Flowers did not actually appear in Twilight Princess, but something very similar called a Bombling did.

Skyward Sword

Bomb Flowers appear once again in Skyward Sword, but this time around, Link has the ability to pick one up, and store it in his Bomb Bag for later use.
