[[Image:bombs.gif|thumb|Bombs as seen in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'']]'''Bombs''' are staple items in [[the Legend of Zelda series]], premiering in [[The Legend of Zelda (Game)|the first game]] and recurring in almost every game since. Needless to say, they are used to create explosions; a few seconds after they are used, they will flash red and explode in a puff of smoke. Bombs have many different functions, such as blowing up rocks or walls, defeating [[Dodongo]]s, or damaging other enemies (or even [[Link]] himself, if he’s near the bomb when it goes off). Given these functions, bombs have been a staple of secret-finding, and an excellent combination of a tool and a weapon. In The Legend of Zelda, they appeared as blue balls with a white fuse coming out of them, and they kept this design until [[Twilight Princess]], in which they were made black with a grey paper wrapping, keeping with the more realistic artistic approach in the game.

==Biography==
Bombs are usually found relatively early on in each game, and sometimes are kept inside a [[Bomb Bag]]. Generally, Link can only carry a set amount of bombs when he obtains them, but this amount can usually be upgraded throughout the game. Bombs can be obtained buying them from shops, obtaining them in pots or treasure chests, or from defeated enemies. Since [[A Link to the Past]], they can be dropped, picked up, carried, and thrown. As soon as they touch the water, the fuse will turn out and they will not explode, with the obvious exception of water bombs. In the [[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|Wind Waker]], they can also be thrown with the [[The King of Red Lions|King of Red Lions]]’ cannon. Additionally, in [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]] and [[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]], they can be combined with arrows to create [[bomb arrows]].

==Variations==
 
Being one of the original and most used of the Legend of Zelda series items, there are many variations to the bomb, not only in appearance but also in function.

*Malanya's theme music, which plays in Malanya's Spring after you have paid him 1,000 Rupees, is a combination of the [[Lon Lon Ranch]] theme from {{OoT}} (itself an expanded version of [[Epona's Song]]) and the Great Fairy Fountain music.
[[Image:Super_Bomb.PNG|right|frame|Super Bomb]]The Super Bomb is a red and bigger version of the bomb found only in [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]. It can only be obtained from the [[Bomb Shop]] in the [[Dark World]], and it's available for 100 [[rupees]], after clearing both the [[Ice Palace]] and [[Misery Mire]]. Unlike other items, however, this giant bomb is not in Link's inventory, but rather it follows him around until he needs to use it. It is only required to gain access to the cursed [[Fat Fairy]], who gives [[Link]] the [[Silver Arrows]] required to kill [[Ganondorf]].

'''Bomb flowers''' are a special exploding fruit found in the mountains, and they work exactly the same as regular bombs. They are usually used when Link isn’t able yet to carry bombs on his own, but needs to make certain rocks or walls nearby explode.

'''Bombchus''' are special bombs that resemble a mouse. These bombs, when set, will go forward on their own, even crawling up walls if they crash with one. They seem to be based on the [[Real Bombchu]]s from [[Termina]].

[[Image:Remotebomb.gif|left]]This special kind of bomb has only appeared in [[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]. In this game, regular bombs can be exchanged for the silver-colored '''remote bombs''' with [[Belari]] after getting the regular bombs and fusing [[Kinstone]]s with [[Gentari]], the [[Minish]] elder. After being set, these bombs will explode only when the button to which they are assigned is pressed again. Because of this, it is impossible to have two remote bombs out at a time. These functions can be positive or negative, depending on the situation, and so they can be exchanged back for regular bombs at any time with Belari. When Link has the remote bombs, he will obtain these items the same way as the regular bombs.

[[image:Waterbombs.png|right|frame|Water Bomb]]'''Water bombs''' are special bombs, found only in Twilight Princess, that are able to explode underwater. They appear as black balls covered in a fish-like wrapping, appearing as if they were being eaten by the fish. These bombs allow Link to blow up boulders underwater that normal bombs would normally defuse once reached. They are essential items found and required to complete the [[Lakebed Temple]]. To use them while underwater, Link has to have his [[Iron Boots]] on. Other than that, they work exactly the same as regular bombs, even on land. However, they are more expensive than regular bombs, so it is not recommended to use them when it's not necessary.

Template:Character Malanya is a character in Breath of the Wild.

Biography

Malanya is the god who watches over the horses of the world.[1] He makes his home in the Faron Region in Malanya Spring near the Lake of the Horse God, though he has been trapped in a Great Fairy Fountain-like flower bud for a unspecified length of time,[2] and requires 1,000 Rupees to regain his power.[3] Once Link procures the necessary Rupees, Malanya will offer to revive a horse the young hero loves that has died over the course of his journey.[4]

Malanya is usually calm and refined, though he will occasionally loudly threaten Link if he believes the hero is mistreating horses;[5] he always follows this up by claiming he was merely jesting, however.[6]

Trivia

  • Malanya's theme music, which plays in Malanya's Spring after you have paid him 1,000 Rupees, is a combination of the Lon Lon Ranch theme from Ocarina of Time (itself an expanded version of Epona's Song) and the Great Fairy Fountain music.

Etymology

The Chinese names Ma means "horse",[7] Lan means "orchid",[8] a type of flower, and Ya means "elegant" and "refined".[9]
