In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', it is Link's [[neutral special move]], while in every other game, it is Link, Toon Link, and Young Link's [[side special move]]. | ||

The | The Boomerang is a useful tool for [[spacing]] opponents. One can tap the [[control stick]] while doing this move to increase its range, and tilt the stick up or down to aim it towards those directions. If the player dodges the Boomerang as it comes back to them, it will continue flying and curving towards the direction they dodged in. Link can only have one Boomerang on screen at any time; trying the attack again while a boomerang is out only results in Link doing his boomerang throwing animation without actually throwing anything. | ||
Originally, Link took out the boomerang and merely tossed it with a slight overhanded toss, while as of ''Melee'' he instead swings it behind himself before tossing it forward sideways and somewhat underhanded. | Originally, Link took out the boomerang and merely tossed it with a slight overhanded toss, while as of ''Melee'' he instead swings it behind himself before tossing it forward sideways and somewhat underhanded. | ||

The '''Boomerang glitch''' {{YouTube|mfJQzWQOxNk}} is a [[glitch]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' (version 1.1). It is a minor glitch discovered by Jimmymcjimthejim that causes {{SSBM|Link}}'s [[Boomerang]] to get stuck to his arm, thus disabling his ability to throw it again. This glitch is caused by getting touched by a [[Poison Mushroom]], or in Tiny Melee, during the frame animation when Link is throwing his [[Boomerang]]. | |||
The glitch may fix itself at times, and [[self-destruct]]ing will end it automatically. | |||
The [[Boomerang superjump|Boomerang Superjump glitch]] can be performed by both Link and Young Link. | |||

Boomerangs have been one of Link's main weapons since the very first ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' game; while generally inferior to the [[Bow]] as a means of indirect attack, it is reusable, capable of pulling items back to Link, stuns enemies, and triggers switches, making it more of a tool than a true offensive weapon; enemies such as {{s|zeldawiki|Goriya}}s also possessed boomerangs as their main weapons as well. Some weak enemies could be defeated using the boomerang, and in some games the boomerang was capable of cutting down objects. | |||
