Curiously, unlike in ''Brawl'' where King Bulblin destroys the bridge's center, in ''Twilight Princess'' he never destroys it; it was actually swallowed and transported to the Gerudo Desert by a twilight portal. [[Midna]] would later restore it to its correct place.

Origin

In The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess King Bulblin appears as a reoccurring boss and the driving force of Link's actions in the beginning of the game, before Zant's introduction. King Bulblin attacks the Ordon Village and kidnaps Ilia and Colin, incapacitating Link. Link then travels the land of Hyrule to find the kids of Ordon, meeting up with and defeating King Bulblin four times over the course of his adventure. King Bulblin rides the oversized Lord Bullbo, who Link fights on horseback, jousting style.

While in Twilight Princess one of King Bulblin's battles is fought on the Bridge of Eldin, he is not the cause of its destruction: rather, part of the bridge is transported to the Gerudo Desert by a twilight portal.
