The Bombos Medallion is an item from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. When it is used, the Bombos Medallion summons mighty pillars of fire in a circle around Link, and then releases explosive force on all enemies in sight, effectively destroying almost any common enemy. It is even capable of destroying the yellow enemies in the Dark World which temporarily undo the effect of the Moon Pearl, even if they are hidden in pots. It is the only of the three medallions in the game that is not needed to advance in the game. It cannot be used without the Master Sword, however, as Link finds if he tries to use it while his Master Sword has been left at the Dwarves' Smithy for tempering.
The medallion can be obtained in the Desert of Mystery. If Link uses the Magic Mirror near the dead end that should have been the entrance to the Desert of Mysteries in the Dark World, he appears, in the Light World, on top of the ledge where a strange stone with inscribed Hylian letters on it. If Link uses the Book of Mudora to decipher the letters, the Bombos Medallion descends from the sky.
