The Boomerang makes its debut in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. [[Link (The Legend of Zelda)|Link]] can use it by assigning it to the B Slot and pressing that button to throw it. It can damage smaller enemies,{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda Instruction Manual|The Legend of Zelda Instruction Booklet]]'', pg. 24|Link can use [the boomerang] to inflict damage on weak enemies.}} such as [[Keese]], and stun all other enemies,{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda Instruction Manual|The Legend of Zelda Instruction Booklet]]'', pg. 24|[Link] can also stop most of the enemy in their tracks if he throws the boomerang on target.}} like [[Goriya]]s. After being thrown, it only travels half the screen, making it very inconvenient. It is found in the first dungeon of the game, [[Level 1: The Eagle|The Eagle]]. Later on in the game, Link gets an upgrade to the Boomerang, entitled the [[Magical Boomerang]]. This upgrade is found in the second dungeon, [[Level 2: The Moon|The Moon]]. It travels much further than the original Boomerang,{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda Instruction Manual|The Legend of Zelda Instruction Booklet]]'', pg. 24|The magical boomerang flies further then the wooden boomerang.}} making it a much better weapon in combat.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'', the Boomerang is obtained from the [[Goron Shooting Gallery]] or [[Target Carts]] in [[Rolling Ridge]]. Link must earn at least 400 points in the Goron Shooting Gallery mini-game or hit all targets in Target Carts, at which point the owner gives Link the Boomerang.{{Ref|OoA|1155|Goron Shooting Gallery Owner}} It is not required to complete the game.

The Boomerang can be found in various stages in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]''. It can be thrown to pick up [[Force Gem]]s and other items as well as stun enemies. The Level 2 Boomerang can be obtained from a [[Great Fairy Fountain]] and can be thrown faster than the original version.{{Ref|FSA|556|In-Game Description}}
