Arrow

Arrows are projectiles used in conjunction with the Bow, appearing in several games in the Zelda series.

Functions
The main function of Arrows is piercing objects and enemies from afar. Arrows are a replenishable items, so the Bow will not function without themrrows. The amount of Arrows Link can hold can usually be increased by upgrading the Quiver They can be bought at various Shops, from Business Scrubs, or freely gathered by cutting grass, defeating enemies, or in small Chests scattered around the overworld and Dungeons.

Arrows are often the only object able to activate switches within Dungeons and across the overworld, switches that some times cannot be activated by the Hookshot or a Slingshot Pellets.

and incorporate the use of Arrows in horseback fighting. Enemies like Bulblins ride alongside Link at sporadic and sometimes far intervals where the Sword is not a reliable weapon to use when it comes to such fights. The Arrow, with its long-range capabilities, can sling and force these enemies off of their steeds from afar.

Fire Arrow


The Fire Arrow is mostly use for melting ice, lighting torches, and burning wood and spiderwebs. It is also a powerful weapon in battle against enemies such as Anubis. Shooting a standard Arrow through a torch lights the Arrow turning it into a Fire Arrow. This technique can be used in Dungeons before Link obtains the Fire Arrows, or whenever Link has exhausted his Magic Meter.

Ice Arrow


The Ice Arrow functions primarily to freeze objects and enemies, In Ocarina of Time it is entirely optional, however, Majora's Mask incorporates it as a required item in the Great Bay Temple, as it is necessary to complete the Dungeon. It also requires the Magic Meter to be used.

Silver Arrow
The Silver Arrow is used in and  to defeat Ganon, although they are changed to the Light Arrow in later games. The Silver Arrow is infused with a evil-piercing power that is effective when defeating Ganon furing the ending of many early games. However, even though it is equippable, the Silver Arrow acts like a standard Arrow to all other enemies.

Light Arrow
Like the Silver Arrow, the Light Arrow is required to defeat Ganon, but is sometimes used by Princess Zelda instead of Link. These holy Arrows are also infused with evil-brandishing light just like the Master Sword, having equal power against dark beasts. Light Arrows can defeat almost any enemy in one shot in and.

Bomb Arrow
The Bomb Arrow first appeared in, although not appearing as an item. It can be used when placing a Bomb and then shooting it with an Arrow. It later appear in as an alternative option to standard Arrows. It can be used to shoot far enemies and to destroy rocks that are out of reach. Bomb Arrows will also make an appearance in the upcoming Zelda Wii U.

New Arrow Type
Zelda Wii U introduces a new type of Arrow which transforms its tip into a spearhead-like form.
