Link's bomb, a character-specific item, can be thrown at other opponents, where it will explode on impact. The character hit by the bomb will take about 6% [[damage]]. If the bomb is dropped, then other characters can pick it up and use it as an [[item]]. The bomb can also be caught by other characters. When the bomb is flashing red, that indicates that it is about to explode. If a bomb explodes on the character holding it, then they will take a minor amount of damage.

In ''SSB4'', however, if Link hits an enemy with a thrown bomb, he will take no damage even if he is in the blast radius. As the bomb is an item, Link cannot use the move if he is already holding another item. Link's bomb is unique in the fact that it can deal damage to anyone, including the user's team members. | ||

In ''Brawl'', and ''SSB4'', Link's bombs are from ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess}}''. In ''Ultimate'', Link’s [[Remote Bomb]]s are based on their appearance in ''Breath of the Wild'', and are remotely detonated rather than detonated on a fuse, due to the way bombs work in that game. | ||

Young Link's bombs are largely identical to Link's. They have a slightly different design and are smaller, reducing the projectile hitbox, but also making it harder to see when thrown. However, unlike Link's bombs, Young Link's bombs explode the second they touch the ground, whereas Link's bombs explode after the timer on the bomb runs out even if they touch the ground. | Young Link's bombs are largely identical to Link's.

[[File:SSB4 Toon Link Screen-7.jpg|thumb|{{SSB4|Toon Link}}'s Bomb explodes in {{forwiiu}}]]Toon Link's bombs, based on Link's bombs but with a ''Wind Waker''-inspired design, can be thrown at other opponents, where it will explode on impact. The character hit by the bomb will take anywhere from 5% to 9% damage. The blast has a larger radius than Link's and has a more cartoonish appearance to match Toon Link's appearance. If a bomb explodes while a character is holding it, the character holding it and characters in the immediate vicinity will take reduced damage, around 3%. His bombs glow yellow and fluctuate in size to indicate that it is about to explode. | [[File:SSB4 Toon Link Screen-7.jpg|thumb|{{SSB4|Toon Link}}'s Bomb explodes in {{forwiiu}}]]Toon Link's bombs, based on Link's bombs but with a ''Wind Waker''-inspired design, can be thrown at other opponents, where it will explode on impact.

Toon Link can also set the bomb on the ground by dropping it right before landing, or right after a [[ledge recovery|ledge jump]]. | ||
It is interesting to note that while Link's bombs deal damage to breakable terrain such as the towers of [[Shadow Moses Island]], the organic bridge and pillars of [[Brinstar]], and the floors of [[Skyworld]], Toon Link's do not. As the bomb is an item, Toon Link cannot use the move if he is already holding another item.

In ''Melee'', bombs dropped by Link can explode when hit. This can be useful in that [[Spin Attack]] can collide with the bombs and deal damage, to Spin Attack again. However the spin attack must be fresh in order to deal enough damage to detonate the bomb; hitting an opponent with a spin attack merely once before using a bomb recovery will lower the move's damage output too much.

However, if Link/Young Link/Toon Link drop a bomb extremely close to the ground, the bomb will stay there, similarly to a dropped [[Hand Grenade]]. The simplest way to do this is to short hop, then drop it at the opportune moment. It can also be done by dropping it while jumping up through a platform or dropping down from a platform. Occasionally, a platform will be high enough for one of the Links to just throw up from the ground. | ||

If the attack button is held during an animation where Link/Young Link/Toon Link cannot throw his bomb (such as during a roll, or during the time when he takes out the bomb), it will allow the player to do a [[forward smash]] with the [[C-Stick]] without throwing the bomb.

However, if Link or Toon Link use their [[tether recovery#Grab Air|Grab Air]] right before it explodes while in knockback (other than the knockback of the Bomb), it cancels all knockback allowing them to survive at percents they'd usually get [[KO]]'d for that move. However, it is very situational because it takes 7 seconds for a Bomb to explode and the attack that knocks them has a chance of making them dropping the Bomb. Without Link or Toon Link having a way to force the bomb to explode, there's rarely a chance of pulling it off with a result of surviving longer. | ||

When a bomb is thrown or z-dropped on a airborne opponent underneath, the opponent will be sent upwards for a guaranteed aerial follow up. The most commonly chosen follow ups are Link's nair for its speed and his dair for its KO power. Toon Link's down air is notable for being a meteor smash. As such a bomb can be used a effective spike setup, provided the opponent is close enough. | ||

They are however much larger than they appear in ''Smash'': rather than holding them in his hand, Link has to carry them above his head with both arms. In most games Link can carry a limited number of bombs in the inventory, though replacements can be dropped by enemies, found in chests or bought in stores. | Bombs are operated by being placed on the ground, and in several games they can be picked up and thrown: a few seconds after its activation, a bomb starts flashing and finally blows up, creating an explosion that, in addition to destroying walls and obstacles and damaging enemies, can damage even Link himself.
