The Bridge of Eldin (オルディン大橋, Eldin's Great Bridge) is a stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U based on The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
Stage layout
Bridge of Eldin is normally completely flat, reaching both lateral blast lines.
Occasionally, a horn is heard: King Bulblin then rides along the stage, slightly damaging players who touch him. He can be attacked: if damaged enough he just passes by, otherwise he drops a bomb in the middle of the bridge. The bomb soon explodes, dealing damage and massive knockback and destroying the entire middle part of the bridge, creating a pit with grabbable edges. After a short while, a twilight portal appears and restores the bridge to its complete state.
Ω Mode
The Omega version removes walk-off blast lines and King Bulblin. The platform can no longer be destroyed because of this. The platform is supported by two columns unlike the normal version.
Changes from Brawl
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 Fixed Camera Smash.
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
The Bridge of Eldin is known for various glitches that involve using Final Smashes 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 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 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 Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
Origin
Bridge of Eldin appears in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, in the 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 Shadow Beasts. The destroyed section of the bridge was teleported to the Gerudo Mesa in the 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 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 Ordon Village, and later to alert the Bulblin Riders for the horseback battle against Link. Also in Twilight Princess are common enemies called Bulblins. 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 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.

Trivia
- A Bulblin may run on to the stage, following King Bulblin. It cannot harm players and will be stunned if attacked. If the Bulblin is caught in the blast of the bomb or damaged enough by players, it will be knocked away.
- In the background of the stage, the Twilight Princess version of the Hyrule Castle is visible, which appeared as a playable stage in Super Smash Bros. 64. Note that the Super Smash Bros. 64 version of Hyrule Castle is the The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time version of the castle.
