'''The Bridge of Eldin''' ({{ja|オルディン大橋}}, ''Eldin's Great Bridge'') is a stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and {{forwiiu}} based on ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]''.  
'''Bridge of Eldin''' ({{ja|オルディン大橋|Orudin Ōhashi}}, ''Oldin Great Bridge'') is a stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', {{forwiiu}}, and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It is based off the bridge of the same name. In ''Ultimate'', {{SSBU|Ganondorf}} is fought here for his unlocking battle.


==Stage Overview==
==Stage overview==
Bridge of Eldin appears as a default stage in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.
Bridge of Eldin is normally completely flat, reaching both lateral [[blast line]]s.


Bridge of Eldin is a completely flat stage, except when the bridge is partially destroyed. [[King Bulblin]] occasionally interferes with the battle by throwing bombs that destroy the center of the bridge. Characters can take damage and massive knockback from the exploding bombs, touching King Bulblin which has low knockback and can also fall into the abyss underneath the bridge. After a short amount of time, a twilight portal appears and drops the missing section back onto the bridge.
Occasionally, a horn is heard: [[King Bulblin & Lord Bullbo|King Bulblin and Lord Bullbo]] then ride across the stage, dealing damage and moderate knockback to any fighters with which they collide. They can be attacked, and if hit their hitbox is temporarily removed. King Bulblin usually drops a bomb in the middle of the bridge. The bomb explodes shortly thereafter, dealing damage and heavy knockback to nearby fighters, at a deadly semi-spike angle in ''Brawl'', radially away in ''Smash 4'', and a diagonal vertical angle in ''Ultimate''. The bomb also destroys the middle part of the bridge, creating a pit with grabbable [[edge]]s.


If King Bulblin is hit a sufficient number of times before he gets to the middle of the bridge, he won't drop a bomb.
A {{s|zeldawiki|Bulblin}} may also appear, following behind King Bulblin as he rides through. Unlike King Bulbin, it cannot harm players, and can actually be stunned if attacked - if damaged enough or caught in the blast of the bomb, it will be knocked away.


==Ω Mode==
After a short while, a {{s|zeldawiki|Twilight Portal}} appears in the sky and restores the bridge to its complete state. Fighters trapped under the bridge's underside will be doomed to [[KO|die]] once it is completed.
The Omega version removes walk-off blast lines and King Bulbin. The platform can no longer be destroyed because of this. The platform is supported by two columns unlike the normal version.
 
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', the stage is larger with the bridge extended and a deeper bottom blast line. These changed are more noticeable through [[Special mode|Fixed Camera Smash]].
 
In [[8-Player Smash]], King Bulblin does not appear, and the bridge is never blown up. This also occurs if [[stage hazard]]s are turned off in ''Ultimate''.
 
===Ω form and Battlefield form===
In ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', the Ω form is set on a portion of the bridge that has two columns supporting it that extend below the [[blast line]]. [[Walk-off]]s and King Bulbin are absent.
 
In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the main platform of the [[Ω form]] and [[Battlefield form]] are similar to ''SSB4'''s Ω form; however, it no longer has two columns supporting it, and it is resized and reshaped to match {{SSBU|Final Destination}} and {{SSBU|Battlefield}}, respectively. The three [[soft platform]]s are made of stone and are unique to the Battlefield form.

==Changes from ''Brawl''==
==Origin==
The only difference between ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'' is the size of the stage. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', the stage is larger with the bridge extended and a deeper bottom blast line. This is noticeable through [[Special mode|Fixed Camera Smash]]. The bridge is somehow thinner possibly due to the camera zooming out.
[[File:Bridge of Eldin TP origin.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Bridge of Eldin as originally seen in ''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess''.]]
This stage is based on the Bridge of Eldin that appears in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess}}''. It is situated over a large canyon with {{s|zeldawiki|Zora's River}} running through it, and it connects the northern part of the {{s|zeldawiki|Eldin Province}} to the large field in the southern part. After [[Link]] traverses the bridge for the first time, a large section of it is teleported away by {{s|zeldawiki|Twilit Messenger}}s. Later in the game, Link and {{s|zeldawiki|Midna}} find the missing piece in the {{s|zeldawiki|Gerudo Mesa}} and teleport it back via a {{s|zeldawiki|Twilight Portal}}.
 
{{s|zeldawiki|Bulblin}}s, a race of goblin-like creatures, are a common enemy in ''Twilight Princess''. Their leader, {{s|zeldawiki|King Bulblin}}, is fought several times throughout the game, one of which takes place on the Bridge of Eldin. This stage's sunset setting is a reference to this battle with King Bulbin, which ignores the normal day/night cycle and is always set at sunset; however, the bridge's destruction has nothing to do with King Bulblin in ''Twilight Princess''.
 
{{s|zeldawiki|Bomb Barrel}}s appear in several ''Zelda'' games, including ''Twilight Princess'', in which they are marked with a large white X. They usually act as damaging hazards, but they are not used by King Bulbin. They also do not generate a large explosion, though ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask}}'' features a usable version, the {{s|zeldawiki|Powder Keg}}, whose powerful explosion can destroy large rocks or walls that block the path.

==Tournament legality==
==Tournament legality==
The stage is almost always banned in competitive settings because it is possible to walk off into the [[blast line]], which allows for [[camping]] and easy K.Os, especially since characters like King Dedede can [[chain grab]] opponents over the edge of the blast line with little difficulty. In addition, when the center of the stage is destroyed, players - especially those with great recoveries - can camp by moving from one end to the other.

==Glitches==
==Glitches==
The Bridge of Eldin is known for various [[glitch]]es that involve using [[Final Smash]]es in the destroyed bridge area as the bridge reforms. One such minor glitch is if a character uses a Final Smash that suspends them in midair in this area while the bridge reforms around them, such as {{SSBB|Donkey Kong}}'s [[Konga Beat]], they'll be able to move while airborne inside the bridge until they jump out of the bridge or fall through the bottom.  The player could also use [[Puff Up|Jigglypuff's Final Smash]] to remain giant, even after the Final Smash is over by inflating in the broken bridge segment while it is being regenerated. This is one of the variants of the [[regenerating terrain glitch]]. The regenerating terrain glitch was fixed in {{forwiiu}}.

[[File:BridgeofEldinTP.png|thumb|left|250px|Bridge of Eldin as originally seen in ''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess''.]]
Bridge of Eldin appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]'', in the {{s|zeldawiki|Eldin Province}}. It connects the northern part of the Eldin Province to the large field in the southern part. The bridge is situated over a large canyon. In ''Twilight Princess'', this bridge was temporarily unusable as a large section of it had been teleported away by {{s|zeldawiki|Shadow Beasts}}. The destroyed section of the bridge was teleported to the {{s|zeldawiki|Gerudo Mesa}} in the [[zeldawiki:Gerudo Desert#Twilight Princess|Gerudo Desert]]. Later in the game, [[Midna]] and [[Link]] recover and teleport the section back after it becomes necessary to use the bridge. In this stage, the middle section of the Bridge of Eldin isn't teleported away, but this stage does retain how the section of the bridge is teleported back via {{s|zeldawiki|Twilight Portal}}. The overall design and surroundings of the bridge look very similar to how they appeared in ''Twilight Princess''; however, the bridge has been greatly scaled down.


In ''Twilight Princess'', [[King Bulblin]] is a mini-boss who duels Link across the Bridge of Eldin (as well as a few other locations). When King Bulblin gets damaged he leans back from the blow. When Link defeats him, he falls into the river below. In this stage, King Bulblin can be attacked, but he does not fall into the river. He does retain how he leans back from getting hit. A fanfare blares out from a horn when King Bulblin is about to charge across the stage. The sound matches the one made by King Bulblin at two points in ''Twilight Princess'': first to call in reinforcements for the attack on {{s|zeldawiki|Ordon Village}}, and later to alert the Bulblin Riders for the horseback battle against Link. Also in ''Twilight Princess'' are common enemies called [[Bulblin]]s. In this stage, a Bulblin can be seen running across the bridge. He can fall off of the bridge when the mid-section of the bridge gets destroyed or when a player attacks it enough times.

This stage is always set at sunset. This is likely a reference to how the time is always set at sunset when battling against King Bulblin on the Bridge of Eldin.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]'', there is an item called a {{s|zeldawiki|Powder Keg}}, which is a barrel that makes a powerful explosion when detonated. It is used to destroy large rocks or walls that block the path. In ''Twilight Princess'', there are explosive barrels with white X's painted on them. These barrels, however, are not very powerful. The bomb that King Bulblin uses in this stage resembles the explosive barrels with the white X's in ''Twilight Princess'', but is as powerful as the Powder Keg.

*Occasionally, a lone Bulblin will run on to the stage, accompanying King Bulblin. He is usually knocked away from the bomb on the bridge, yet he can be attacked to halt his movement. He deals no damage to the player. If the Bulblin is damaged enough, it'll fall off of the bridge. If it is not hit by the bomb's explosion, it will simply walk off the bridge once it reaches the gap.
*In the stage's files for ''Brawl'', a model of {{s|zeldawiki|Colin}} tied up to a spear, referencing his kidnapping in ''Twilight Princess'', can be seen, but goes unused.

*In ''Ultimate'', [[Metroid]]s and [[Devil]] can only be summoned from an [[Assist Trophy]] on the Battlefield and Omega forms of this stage. Additionally, due to being a walk-off stage, [[Abra]] can only be summoned from [[Poké Ball]]s on the stage's Battlefield and Omega forms.

Article on Zelda Wiki Bridge of Eldin

Bridge of Eldin (オルディン大橋, Oldin Great Bridge) is a stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It is based off the bridge of the same name. In Ultimate, Ganondorf is fought here for his unlocking battle.

Stage overviewEdit

Bridge of Eldin is normally completely flat, reaching both lateral blast lines.

Occasionally, a horn is heard: King Bulblin and Lord Bullbo then ride across the stage, dealing damage and moderate knockback to any fighters with which they collide. They can be attacked, and if hit their hitbox is temporarily removed. King Bulblin usually drops a bomb in the middle of the bridge. The bomb explodes shortly thereafter, dealing damage and heavy knockback to nearby fighters, at a deadly semi-spike angle in Brawl, radially away in Smash 4, and a diagonal vertical angle in Ultimate. The bomb also destroys the middle part of the bridge, creating a pit with grabbable edges.

A Bulblin may also appear, following behind King Bulblin as he rides through. Unlike King Bulbin, it cannot harm players, and can actually be stunned if attacked - if damaged enough or caught in the blast of the bomb, it will be knocked away.

After a short while, a Twilight Portal appears in the sky and restores the bridge to its complete state. Fighters trapped under the bridge's underside will be doomed to die once it is completed.

In Super Smash Bros. 4, the stage is larger with the bridge extended and a deeper bottom blast line. These changed are more noticeable through Fixed Camera Smash.

In 8-Player Smash, King Bulblin does not appear, and the bridge is never blown up. This also occurs if stage hazards are turned off in Ultimate.

Ω form and Battlefield formEdit

In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, the Ω form is set on a portion of the bridge that has two columns supporting it that extend below the blast line. Walk-offs and King Bulbin are absent.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the main platform of the Ω form and Battlefield form are similar to SSB4's Ω form; however, it no longer has two columns supporting it, and it is resized and reshaped to match Final Destination and Battlefield, respectively. The three soft platforms are made of stone and are unique to the Battlefield form.

  • Ω form in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

  • Ω form in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

  • Battlefield form in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

OriginEdit

 
Bridge of Eldin as originally seen in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

This stage is based on the Bridge of Eldin that appears in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. It is situated over a large canyon with Zora's River running through it, and it connects the northern part of the Eldin Province to the large field in the southern part. After Link traverses the bridge for the first time, a large section of it is teleported away by Twilit Messengers. Later in the game, Link and Midna find the missing piece in the Gerudo Mesa and teleport it back via a Twilight Portal.

Bulblins, a race of goblin-like creatures, are a common enemy in Twilight Princess. Their leader, King Bulblin, is fought several times throughout the game, one of which takes place on the Bridge of Eldin. This stage's sunset setting is a reference to this battle with King Bulbin, which ignores the normal day/night cycle and is always set at sunset; however, the bridge's destruction has nothing to do with King Bulblin in Twilight Princess.

Bomb Barrels appear in several Zelda games, including Twilight Princess, in which they are marked with a large white X. They usually act as damaging hazards, but they are not used by King Bulbin. They also do not generate a large explosion, though The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask features a usable version, the Powder Keg, whose powerful explosion can destroy large rocks or walls that block the path.

Tournament legalityEdit

The stage is almost always banned in competitive settings because it is possible to walk off into the blast line, which allows for camping and easy KOs, especially via chain grabs. Because of this, King Dedede and Ice Climbers had disproportionate advantages on this stage. In addition, when the center of the stage is destroyed, players - especially those with great recoveries - can camp by moving from one end to the other.

GlitchesEdit

The Bridge of Eldin is known for various glitches that involve using Final Smashes in the destroyed bridge area as the bridge reforms: these are specific cases of the regenerating terrain glitch, which was fixed in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

If a character uses a Final Smash that suspends them in midair - such as Donkey Kong's Konga Beat - while the bridge reforms around them, they'll be able to move inside the bridge until they jump out of it or fall through the bottom. The player can also use Jigglypuff's Final Smash to remain giant - even after the Final Smash is over - by inflating in the broken bridge segment while it is being regenerated. If Yoshi then uses Egg Lay on the giant Jigglypuff, the Pokémon will grow to a size that doesn't fit on the screen. Jigglypuff's hitbox remains its size, making it easy to get KO'd especially after Yoshi's Egg Lay.
