Instead of acquiring different types of arrows in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you have the opportunity to merge a variety of items with regular arrows. These mergeable items can slightly increase the attack damage or unleash a powerful elemental attack.
In order to craft bomb arrows, you must affix the bomb flower. This flower is a diminutive, spherical blossom that possesses the ability to unleash formidable detonations, vanquish adversaries, and fracture boulders. Regrettably, locating them can prove to be somewhat arduous. Here, we shall deliberate upon the methods for cultivating bomb flowers efficiently.
Updated on September 22, 2023 by Jacqueline Zalace: We have made slight revisions to the format of this guide to assist you in quickly determining where you can locate and purchase bomb flowers in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Where To Buy Bomb Flowers
The most straightforward way to obtain bomb flowers is by purchasing them. There are two shops where you can find bomb flowers, as well as a statue that offers them in exchange.
Below you will find both shops that offer bomb flowers. In both shops, bomb flowers are priced at 40 rupees.
Shop Location |
Where In Town? |
|---|---|
Gerudo Town |
From Riju's Throne Room, head down the main stairs and look left. The Bomb Flower Vendor is the first stall, where you can find Chuchu Jelly as well. |
Tarrey Town |
Right after walking into town across the bridge, the General Store will be to the right (next to the Break-a-Part Shop). |
Bargainer Statues
Peddling statues are unique statues that emerge from the depths (one of them is located in Josha's research area). At these statues, you can exchange Poes for various items, including bomb flowers.
Acquiring a bomb flower at this statue will cost you 16 Poes. While many items need to be unlocked by finding additional statues, bomb flowers become available as soon as you locate the first statue.
How To Find Bomb Flowers In Caves & Wells
In addition to purchasing bomb flowers, you can find them in caves and wells scattered across the surface of Hyrule.
Be cautious not to disturb the bomb flower while it is growing, as this can result in a tremendous explosion. It will destroy the flower and there is a risk of getting injured.
With all the caves and wells scattered throughout Hyrule, where is the best place to gather resources? Below are some excellent locations for resource gathering.
Location |
Description |
|---|---|
Hateno Village Wells |
There are several wells in the village that connect together, with Bomb Flowers spread along the tunnels. |
The Bottomless Cave |
This is on the Great Sky Island, close to Gutanbac Shrine. |
Royal Hidden Passage |
This can be found within the underground bunker at Lookout Landing, and also contains a Forbidden Horned Statue. |
How To Find Bomb Flowers In The Depths
Lastly, you can find bomb flowers while exploring the depths. These flowers typically grow at the base of large trees rather than in the middle of a flat area.
While exploring, it is highly recommended to circle around trees you come across; there might be one or two hidden bomb flowers waiting to be discovered.
The depths are quite vast, so here are some locations where you can find bomb flowers. They can appear practically anywhere, but these are the places that are easily accessible while you gather resources.
Location |
Description |
|---|---|
Great Abandoned Central Mine |
North of the Mine, you will see a forest of sorts, with many trees being surrounded by Bomb Flowers. |
Netamnet Lightroot |
There are over a dozen Bomb Flowers scattered around this Lightroot, which is just south of the Elma Knolls Chasm (north of Hyrule Castle). |
Nisoij Lightroot |
This is the first Lightroot you will see when diving into the Hyrule Field Chasm (as part of the Camera in the Depths quest). In this area, there are several big trees surrounded by Bomb Flowers. |
Once you have picked a bomb flower, it takes several days for it to regrow. As a result, you cannot continuously gather resources from the same spot over an extended period. We recommend taking a "round" approach and visiting all of these locations as well as the merchants.
How To Use Bomb Flowers
When aiming with your bow, press the arrow upward to display a list of materials you can attach to your arrows. From here, you can scroll to bomb flowers and select one.
This will attach it to your next arrow and cause a significant explosion that can also destroy nearby rock walls. If you happen to be caught in the explosion, you will also sustain damage, so be cautious!
If you spot a planted bomb flower near an enemy, you can strike the flower from a distance to trigger an explosion and inflict damage upon nearby foes.
Lastly, you should avoid using bomb arrows in areas of extreme heat. If you require special Goron armor to provide flame resistance, bomb flowers will not function properly. When you merge them with an arrow, the heat will cause them to explode instantly, resulting in damage to yourself and wasting the bomb flower.
