Template:Minigame The Bombchu Bowling Alley is a mini-game in Ocarina of Time that is run by a young, purple-haired woman who is often dozing off.[1]
Location and Rules
The Bombchu Bowling Alley Operator asleep
The entrance to Bombchu Bowling Alley is located west of the central area of Hyrule Castle Town Market. This game is only available after obtaining the Bomb Bag from Dodongo's Cavern. The object is to aim a Bombchu past Cuccos and a Blade Trap into a hole.[2] Prizes rotate seemingly randomly and are only revealed after paying, but before beginning the actual game.[3] Prizes include a Purple Rupee, a Piece of Heart, Bombs, Bombchus, and a larger Bomb Bag.
Despite the simplicity of its setup, Bombchu are erratic while moving. A bit of trial and error is often necessary to win this game.
In Ocarina of Time 3D, the shop has blue neon lighting, a newspaper showing the Mini-game Operator and several posters, some of which depict a Goron and the Transformation Masks from Majora's Mask.
