Snowball Bowling, also known as Snowling, is a mini-game located at Pondo's Lodge in Breath of the Wild.
How to Play
When Link speaks with Pondo, right outside of Pondo's Lodge, he will offer the opportunity to play a game of Snowball Bowling.[1]
The game is a variation of bowling where there are 10 pillars at the foot of the hill. Link will need to toss a snowball down the hill, knocking down as many of the pins as he can.[2] The goal is to try and knock down all ten pins at once.[3] The game will cost 20 rupees for Link to play.[4]
Strategy
The best strategy is to grab the ball and then walk to the right side a bit. Angle the shot so it is heading straight for the center pin. When standing off-center to the right, the snowball will have a better chance of hitting the center pin. If you toss it from right in the middle, and aim straight ahead, the ball has a tendency to veer off to the right.
Overall, the Snowball Bowling gaming becomes an incredibly easy way to make a significant amount of rupees. A Strike will get Link a Gold Rupee, with a Spare giving Link a Silver Rupee. With the cost of only 20 rupees to play, Link should easily be able to get a strike or spear every few bowls.
