The Bomb Bag treasure is an offensive, mechanical item. It appears as small satchel, comparable in size to a honeydew or small watermelon, which can be attached to a belt or backpack. At any given time, the user can reach into this sack to inexplicably pull out a fist-sized bomb, which is already lit with a fuse of about five seconds. When the fuse runs out, the bomb will explode violently. It will also explode with a phenomenally hard impact (harder than most people can throw), or intense heat, as from flames. Neither the bag, nor anything inside it, will explode from exposure to heat or impacts.
Strangely, this sack only functions when an individual bomb is pulled out one at a time. The user cannot simply dump out the would-be contents of the sack, and cannot pull out another bomb until either the last bomb has detonated or five seconds have passed.
An individual bomb, outside of the Bomb Bag, can be acquired for a set cost of 5 rupees. An individual bomb is a SingleUse treasure, and as such, it can only be used once.
Augments
The user can gain the Bomb Arrow, Blast Coating, or Powder Charge augment simultaneously with the original treasure for an additional cost, or as a separate treasure at a later time.

A user with the Bomb Arrow technique can use a Bomb in a new way. The user can swiftly attach one of his Bombs to the tip of an arrow, crossbow bolt, or similar fired projectile. Providing one hand handles the Bomb, and the other hand handles the projectile, this process takes less than a second, allowing it to be aimed a moment later. The arrow can then be fired, and unleashes as a Bomb-equivalent explosion on impact. Because of the added weight, the projectile may be somewhat front-heavy.
Blast Coating

Lower Cost P5: 20 rupees |
A user with the Blast Coating technique can use a Bomb in a new way. Using the powder from one of his Bombs, the user delicately applies it to the tip of a weapon, or other surface, in a particular way. When the surface next strikes an object with enough force, it will explode with roughly half the force of a normal Bomb, causing boosted damage and consuming the powder applied. The process of adding this powder is quite delicate, and takes roughly one minute to do so properly.
The strain of the explosion can damage the weapon. A weapon or surface made of steel will likely survive one blast without impact, but multiple blasts in less than few minutes' time will likely destroy it. A more delicate weapon, as one made from wood or straw, may be destroyed outright. An extraordinarily durable weapon, such as one made form Goron Iron, may suffer no damage even from repeated blasts.
Powder Charge

A user with the Powder Charge technique can use a Bomb to create a Powder Charge. A Powder Charge must be prepared beforehand, requiring at least one minute, and generally cannot be prepared during battle due to the volatile nature of the Powder Charge. The Powder Charge itself appears is a tiny packet, which essentially concentrates all the ingredients of a bomb into a small, highly-volatile container. The charge can be used in various ways; as a trip mine, as a remotely detonated mine (via a string), as an attachment to a projectile, etc.
Trivia
- The Bomb Bag treasure canonically appears in the Zelda series, initially in The Legend of Zelda. More information about the canonical version of this treasure can likely be found on Zelda Wiki. Bomb Arrow first appeared in Link's Awakening.
- Blast Coating and Powder Charge were both original creations of one of Hyrule Castle's members, WillowtheWhisp.
