So i played around with Link today and found out, that he can drop his Bomb in midair, if he uses his Z-Air. This has the fantastic effect, that Link's Bomb will not explode on the ground and stay as traps, shields and extra ammo. He can even drop a bomb without drawing his hookshot, if you time it right after an short hop. The user pants name guy in this thread on the Link board already posted his discovery and i filmed this small video showing off Link's Bomb Dropping:
The mechanic behind this behavior is properly, that the games needs Link right hand to be empty to have him draw his hookshot. So instead of just throwing the item first and weaken his Z-Air recovery, he simply drops the item. Since thie game doesn't count this as an throw, the bomb will not explode immediately.
It looks like a great tool for Link, but there could be more characters with Z-Air be able to do this. Since i have only the demo, i can't test out the others characters.
