The Legend Of Zelda: 10 Most Powerful Items

As well as a master swordsman, Link is a demolition expert. Not a game passes that he doesn’t find a reason to implement powerful explosives, and while there are some great items to choose from - the powder keg and the bombchu, for example, the most devastating of the bunch is A Link To The Past’s super bomb.

This enormous red orb is primarily used to access an area in the Pyramid of Power vital for completion of the game, but with its pure destructive power, there are far more fun uses to which the item can be put. Its blast radius is, unsurprisingly, enormous - it later appears in the non-canonical Hyrule Warriors, in which it can be used to destroy hoards of foes in one fell swoop. In A Link To The Past, it doesn’t damage Link, meaning it can be put to some creative uses.

What’s more, speedrunners have found that the super bomb is a useful tool for sequence breaking A Link To The Past. The super bomb is a powerful tool for those looking to take out swarms of baddies, and for those in a rush - a truly efficient item.
