Bomb Bag

From Zelda Wiki.org

The Bomb Bag is the case in which Link carries his supply of Bombs. In Ocarina of Time it is said that the Bomb Bag is made from the stomach lining of a Dodongo^[1]. It is often possible in Zelda games to acquire larger Bomb Bags as Link progresses.

Not all games that include bombs mention a special bag for them. In A Link to the Past for example, a Great Fairy can increase Link's bomb carrying capacity but the game never specifies how.

Ocarina of Time

In Ocarina of Time, Link can get two upgrades: one as a prize in the Bombchu Bowling Game and one from stopping Hot Rodder Goron's wild rolling around Goron City's 3rd floor.

Majora's Mask

In Majora's Mask, there is the regular Bomb Bag, a Big Bomb Bag, and a Biggest Bomb Bag. Link can obtain the Bomb Bag by going to the Bomb Shop in West Clock Town. They will have the Bomb Bag in stock, and Link can carry Bombchu and Bombs in it. The Big Bomb Bag can be obtained by rescuing the Old Lady from Bomb Shop from Sakon's arrest during the night of the First Day; afterwards, the Bomb Shop in Clock Town will have the Big Bomb Bag in stock. Then, Link can get the Biggest Bomb Bag from the Business Scrub in the Goron Village at Snowhead by trading in his Big Bomb Bag and 200 Rupees.

The Wind Waker

In The Wind Waker, the bomb bag is not actually shown as a physical item, however it is still possible to upgrade the number of Bombs Link can carry by visiting the Great Fairies. Initially it can hold 30 bombs, with increases to 60, then 99.

The Minish Cap

In The Minish Cap, the bomb bag can firstly be collected from a Forest Picori named Belari. Later on in the game, Link can find a Great Mayfly Fairy in Mount Crenel who will provide him with a bigger bomb bag. Also, fusing Kinstones later on with Belari will cause a treasure chest to appear in Wind Ruins which provides Link with an even bigger bomb bag.

Twilight Princess

Bomb Bags work a bit differently in Twilight Princess than they do in other games. A Bomb Bag with bombs can first be obtained from Barnes in Kakariko Village as part of a special package once he restocks his shop. There are three types of bombs which can be put into it — regular Bombs, Water Bombs, and Bomblings — and the maximum number depends on the type of bomb, being 30, 15, and 10 of each type respectively. Furthermore, only one type of bomb can be used in a bag at a time. To cope with this handicap, two more Bomb Bags can be obtained: one by using Bomb Arrows to clear away rubble downriver of Iza's boat rental, and the other by using Water Bombs to destroy the Molten Shard used to thaw out the throne room of Zora's Domain.

If Link scores 25 or more points on Iza's river rapid ride game, she will give him the Big Bomb Bag, which doubles the carrying capacity of all his bags, allowing them to hold up to 60 regular Bombs, 30 Water Bombs, or 20 Bomblings.
