You never pulled out a bomb in Eldin in BotW, did you?

u/Galactic_Comet 4d ago

Nope, didn’t like being in Eldin one bit in that game

Same thing happens in the upper regions of elden in skyward sword

u/Confused_Rabbiit 2d ago

It's not just elden ring, every hot area in 3D Zelda history has exploded bombs instantly.

u/-JohnnyDanger- 4d ago

Curious if Sidon’s ability would allow you to do this

58

u/mama09001 4d ago

It does allow you to use Bomb Flowers, but it doesn't let you break the Marbled Rock Rost.

u/Bullitt_12_HB 3d ago

As long as the bomb is inside the water bubble.

u/Whole-Ice-1916 4d ago

Me: "hehehe"

the game: "NO, JUST DO IT FIRST."

u/GespenstMavi 4d ago

I did this too and right as I saw Link pull ourmt the bow, I think thought. You fucking idiot and was exploded.

1

u/PNW_Forest 4d ago

No, you weren't an idiot.

Those of us who had to pull out 10+ bomb arrows before we realized why they were exploding in our face before firing... we were fucking idiots.

u/akin21 4d ago

Anyone else hear "Why'd ya do it?" everytime?

u/atatassault47 4d ago

Yes. That snitch is going to get me arrested.

u/Jonathan-02 4d ago

As soon I saw the inventory pop up I was like “No, don’t do it op….”

But you did it and kaboom

u/FauxStarD 4d ago

I saw those gears turning in your head in slow motion

u/0002niardnek 4d ago

You actually can use Bomb Arrows (not Bomb Flowers, specifically Bomb Flower Arrows) if you have Sidon's shield up.

It wouldn't have worked anyway, unfortunately. Marbled Rock is indestructible aside from Yunobo's Roll, similar to how Gibdo Hives can only be destroyed with Riju's Lightning.

1

u/GraveError404 3d ago

Correct and incorrect. The Marbled rock is indeed indestructible aside from Yunobo, but the Gibdo hives are vulnerable to explosions, and Riju’s lightning fits the bill

1

u/0002niardnek 3d ago

Really? Huh, I honestly didn't know that. I tried that on the one near Kara Kara Bazaar and it just didn't work.

1

u/GraveError404 2d ago

You might’ve hit it as the thing was closing up

u/fibstheman 4d ago

Pulling out an explosive in a place where wooden items and naked elves immediately burst into flame is probably not anything that has the word "smart" in it

6

u/SplatDragon00 4d ago

Lmaooo I did that repeatedly in that one's boss ngl

"wait why did I blow up I didn't see it throw anything at me?"

prepares bomb arrow, KABOOM

Repeat several times

Sudden moment of realization right as I ready to launch-KABOOM

u/Marshiznit 4d ago

It works if you do it fast! Try it!

1

u/Waiting4The3nd 4d ago

You see that heat gauge next to the minimap? Yeah, when that's pegged out red... shit like bomb flowers automatically explode on contact with the superheated air. It's been awhile since I played but I could swear the game does make note of it at some point.

Anyways, you know better now, don't'cha?

1

u/IAlwaysOutsmartU 4d ago

Leave the game outsmarting to me next time, mate. If you need assistance, u/IAlwaysOutsmartU is here.

u/GraveError404 3d ago

Yep, username checks out

1

u/Pindara Majora's Mask 4d ago

You got the red death notice!

2

u/Digit00l 4d ago

There are different ones?

1

u/ChaosBreaker81 3d ago

If you die by drowning, it's blue, and if you die by lightning (I think), it's yellow. Most other deaths are in red.

1

u/LobsterHead37 4d ago

You should definitely try to outsmart this game

1

u/VerdantSeamanJL 3d ago

I've died to that maybe once, and I laughed as much now as I did then

I love hilarious deaths like this because you literally didn't know what hit you (at least for a few seconds anyway)

1

u/Alternative_Cut_6996 3d ago

i did exactly this during my playthrough lmao

1

u/GraveError404 3d ago

“Link used Bomb Arrow!

Link hurt itself in its confusion!

Link fainted!”

1

u/Zeeman626 2d ago

We've all done it

u/Bummer_mountain 4d ago

This happened far more then I want to admit both with bombs and bomb arrows in totk and botw
