Breaks all the rules of previous boomerangs and is incredibly powerful. Anything that a previous boomerang can stun, it not only stuns but deal 2 damage points to. Anything that a previous boomerang could not stun, it can stun. It can even stun enemies like Darknuts (if not thrown at the front), Peahats, or Bubbles. If the quest rule to give the fire boomerang sparkles is turned on, the sparkles themselves can hurt enemies for 1 damage point. This item originated in BS Zelda.
