Bombs are an incredibly important part of moving forward in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD. In order to get bombs, however, there must first be a place for Skyward Sword's hero Link to store them. This requires a bomb bag.
In order to start storing bombs, players can get a bomb bag in Skyward Sword. The bomb bags come in three sizes in this game: small, medium, and large bomb bags. Each holds progressively more bombs, and players will want to upgrade this as quickly as possible. But in order to get the larger bags, players will first need to find a base bag.

Since bomb bags are so important for getting through the Earth Temple and the other Skyward Sword dungeons, players will need to get them as soon as possible. There is only one location players can find the base starting bomb bags. Players will need to first get to the Earth Temple, and look in the mini-boss room in Skyward Sword. Players will battle two Lizalfos in this room, and then a treasure chest will appear. Inside will be the base bomb bag.
The small bomb bags, which add 5 bombs to what Link can carry at a time, can be found in two places:
- In the Bazaar in Skyloft, players can find a small bomb bag for 150 rupees from Rupin.
- On the Isle of Songs, in the tower, there is a chest with a small bomb bag inside.
The next size up in a Medium bomb bag; they can be made by upgrading small bomb bags at the Scrap Shop. For this, players will need:
- A Blue Bird Feather
- A lizard tail
- Three Ornamental Skulls
- And 50 Rupees
Large bomb bags are also an upgrade-only item. This bag will hold a massive number of bombs for Link, and it's one of the best things in Skyward Sword to get. Players will have to have a medium bag first, then they can upgrade to a large bomb bag with the following items:
- A Golden Skull
- Two Hornet Larvae
- Four Jelly Blobs
- Three more Lizard Tails
- 100 rupees
If players are having trouble finding a Golden Skull, which are kind of rare in Skyward Sword, here are a few places to find them:
- Possible reward for Clean Cut challenge on Bamboo Island
- Purchase from the Moonlight Merchant for 200 Rupees.
- Dropped by bokoblins
- They can also rarely be found in treasure chests on the surface.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD is available for Nintendo Switch.
