NEW BOMB IDEAS

I'm talking about what the name should be and what it should do.

Name: Hi-Bomb.

Effect: It is possible to detonate it.

The catch is to fill the bomb with something. Then, when it explodes, it's contents will be sprayed all around, creating various effects. These could include:

-Lamp oil = fire bomb, lights enemies/objects on fire.
-Water = can be used to extinguish flames/fire based enemies, maybe in some other puzzles too (creating patches of ice in an ice cavern etc).
-Some sort of smoke pulver = smoke bombs, you can cover your escape/dazzle enemies.
-Poison = well, you can poison enemies with it.
-Healing potion = you can uh . . . heal enemies with it? Hmmm.
-Nails, glass, other sharp objects = fragmentation grenade.
-And many more!

(Note: maybe it's for the best that you can't stuff faeries or other living beings inside these bombs; that would be cool but cruel!)

That sexy man sure has some sexy ideas. Oh yeah.

I love that idea Otuz

Maybe some kind of trip mine. Link buries it, lures an enemy in, and BOOM!

I love that idea for the Hollow Bomb. And it'd certainly be interesting to see it being implimented in puzzles and against bosses. Like... maybe you have to swoop poisionous water from somewhere, and get that boss (or enemie) to EAT it. I bet it'd be fantastic against Dodongos. I just... hope Link doesn't set himself a-flame. That's just embarassing.

Let's see... I'll make one up too.

Set Bomb
Just what it means. Place the bomb (or bombs) on the ground, then click a button that sets them all off. Good for puzzles, and large cumbersome enemies.

Pros : Don't have to carry a flaming bomb. Can set it, and set it off from a distance. Has a large blast radius and does great damage.

Cons : Expensive. And you can't use very well in quick situations.

there is a thread for weapn ideas, please post there unless you want to discuss the overall use/purpose of bombs in future games. If so, make a new thread. This one is THWOMPED!
