Super Bombs are items from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. They are the only red bombs in the entire series. These powerful bombs are available for purchase in the Bomb Shop in the Dark World, located where Link's House is in the Light World. Only available once Link has completed the Ice Palace and the Misery Mire dungeons, one Super Bomb costs 100 Rupees. When purchased, it follows Link wherever he goes. However, if Link dashes, the bomb will automatically be left behind with its three second detonation time.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The Super Bomb can be used for not only massive damage (although it's only good for one use, thus eliminating its economical efficiency), but also to blow up a special seal on the Pyramid of Power. Inside is a Mysterious Pond, where Link can speak to a Great Fairy to obtain both the Golden Sword and the Silver Arrows necessary to defeat Ganon.

Spoiler warning: Spoilers end here.
