All Bomb Bag Upgrade Locations in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Upgrading your Bomb Bag in the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake lets you carry more bombs for combat and exploration. The upgrades aren’t necessary to finish the game, but they’re worth collecting if you want a larger supply on hand.

All Bomb Bag upgrades in Ocarina of Time

After obtaining the Bomb Bag in Dodongo’s Cavern, you can carry 20 bombs. Two upgrades add 10 slots apiece, increasing your maximum capacity to 40.

You’ll find one upgrade in Goron City and the other at the Bombchu Bowling Alley in Hyrule Castle Town. Both are available relatively early, but you must play as young Link to obtain them.

Goron City Bomb Bag upgrade

On one of Goron City’s middle floors, you’ll encounter a Goron rolling around the level. Head to the northeast side of the city and look for a sign suggesting a reward for stopping him.

When the Goron rounds the corner, place a bomb in the middle of his path. Once the blast stops him, speak to him to receive a Bomb Bag upgrade.

Bombchu Bowling Alley Bomb Bag upgrade

The Bombchu Bowling Alley is west of the fountain in Hyrule Castle Town. It opens after you clear Dodongo’s Cavern and remains open during both the day and night.

Pay the attendant 10 rupees to play, then guide your Bombchus into the yellow target. Winning once permanently unlocks Bombchus for your use. Win a second round to receive the Bomb Bag upgrade.

The second round follows the same rules, but small wooden Cuccos move across the lane and can block your Bombchus. You can also win a third round to earn a Piece of Heart.

The Ocarina of Time remake differs from the original in places, so dungeon walkthroughs and side-quest guides can help if you get stuck. Completionists can also seek out every Piece of Heart and Gold Skulltula token, as well as every Magic Bean planting spot.
