TotK Bomb Flower Farming: Merchants, Statues, Depths Patches

The Bomb Flower is the consumable you burn through fastest in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: fused to an arrow it becomes a Bomb Flower arrow, and you can also throw it or blow open rock walls in shrines and caves, often a dozen in one sitting. The game describes it as: “A dangerous flower that contains explosive elements. Does not mix well with fire or electricity, unless the goal is to blow things up.” This page uses the game’s shop and placement data to show where to buy them and where they are densest, then gives a route. For the map of single spots and the chests see the Bomb Flower material page.

Where can you buy Bomb Flowers?

Danda’s stall is in Gerudo Town and also sells Red, Yellow and White Chuchu Jelly; Fyson is in the general store in Tarrey Town. Each puts out only a few and restocks after selling out.

A Bargainer Statue costs no rupees: 16 Poes each, and Poes are picked up in the Depths. The statue at Lookout Landing trades Bomb Flowers from the start; the rest are on the Bargainer Statues page.

Where are the most flowers in the wild?

The game’s placement data has 6,762 Bomb Flowers you can pick, very unevenly spread:

The surface 8 are three in Gerudo Town, three in the East Passage, and one each at Hebra North Summit and Rodai Lake. The Bomb Flowers on the merchants’ shelves in Gerudo Town and Tarrey Town are not counted. So to gather in bulk, go to the Depths.

The Depths

Depths flowers sit mostly around abandoned mines, quarries and tree seas. These landmarks have the most:

Each landmark is big, so rather than walk a whole loop, pick the densest spot you can warp straight to. These are the Lightroots with the most Bomb Flowers within 250 m, from the placement data (the median Lightroot has 17):

Netamnet Lightroot under the Imprisoning Chamber also has 25 within 250 m (Show on map), north of Hyrule Castle and not far below the surface.

The Depths are dark, so carry enough Brightbloom Seeds; Gloom eats your hearts, so read the Depths guide first. Warp points are on Lightroots. It is said Bomb Flowers mostly grow at the foot of big trees, so circle any big tree you pass.

Caves and the sky

The 325 in caves are scattered; these are the biggest groups:

A few more sit in the Royal Hidden Passage under Lookout Landing, next to the Bargainer Statue. The Great Sky Island has 8, around the Bottomless Cave (Show on map), within reach soon after the start.

A route

1. At the very start. Pick the 8 on the Great Sky Island; then in each town, stock up from Danda or Fyson on the way.
2. Once you have the Lookout Landing statue. Bring Poes picked up in the Depths back and trade: 16 Poes a flower beats 40 rupees.
3. When you need dozens. Warp to Netinet Lightroot (Grove of Time) and circle it for about 40; then Nihcayam Lightroot and Iayusus Lightroot in Daphnes Canyon Mine, about 100 across the three.
4. Around Gerudo. Abandoned Kara Kara Mine and Abandoned Gerudo Mine are densest; mine zonaite while you are there.
5. Do not camp one spot. A picked flower is said to return after a few days, so rotate several. Leave a growing flower alone: it is said to blow itself up.

What do you do with Bomb Flowers?

The usual use is fusing to an arrow: draw the bow, press up on the D-pad and pick the Bomb Flower; it explodes on impact, and shrines use it on Constructs and rock walls. For arrow prices see Arrow Farming, and for other materials to fuse see Bows. It is said that in extreme heat, without fire protection, the flower explodes the moment you fuse it, wasting it, so prepare before the volcano areas.

A Bomb Flower sells for 10 rupees against a 40-rupee price, so never buy to sell. For money see Rupee Farming.
