Properties | |
Giant Boomerangs are massive metallic Boomerangs that require two hands to wield. They were originally used for hunting, but they have been modified to be used as Weapons.[1] They can be used to deal melee damage in front of Link, or they can be thrown to hit distant targets. Giant Boomerangs will curve after traveling a short distance and will travel back to Link, which he can catch in mid-air. If something obstructs the Giant Boomerang mid-air or if Link fails to catch it in time, the Giant Boomerang will bounce and land somewhere for Link to retrieve himself.
Giant Boomerangs are commonly found wielded by certain Lizalfos in the Hebra Mountains, primarily around Goflam's Secret Hot Spring. They can also be found in West Necluda.
Since Giant Boomerangs are made of metal, the Magnesis Rune can be used to move them. The metal will also attract Lightning during Thunderstorms, striking Link if he equips one for too long. However, this also means that they conduct Electricity. They will sink in Water, but they will not burn if exposed to Fire or a Scorching Climate.
Trivia[]
- A glitch can be performed using the Giant Boomerang where if the Boomerang is thrown and Magnesis is quickly used on it while it is still in mid-air, the Giant Boomerang will continue spinning while Link controls it with Magnesis.[2] While the spinning animation around the Boomerang and the sound for spinning both continue to play, the Boomerang does not show the animation of spinning. If the Boomerang ever collides with a solid object, it stops spinning. While spinning, the Boomerang can be used to cut Grass and other non-solid objects, or damage Enemies once. Enemies hit by the Giant Boomerang will be launched a short distance away from the Boomerang.
