The Light Arrow is a recurring item Link uses in The Legend of Zelda series. They are powerful variations on the arrow that are infused with light and have the ability to kill many enemies in one hit. It is often used to combat Ganon.
Appearances
Ocarina of Time
The Light Arrows are given to Link by Princess Zelda in the Temple of Time after awakening the the six sages. They are one of the few items in Ocarina of Time that can stun Ganondorf.
Majora's Mask
The Light Arrows are found in the Stone Tower Temple after defeating the Garo Master. They are required to strike the Red Emblem on the Stone Tower Temple, inverting it. Though not required to defeat Twinmold nor Majora, they help considerably.
The Wind Waker
In The Wind Waker, Link can obtain the Light Arrows after completing the Maze in Ganon's Tower and defeating Phantom Ganon several times. After going through many doors in the maze, Link ends up in a room that looks different from the previous ones. After Link defeats Phantom Ganon in this room, the phantom escapes and the Light Arrows appears in a treasure chest. The Light Arrows are used to defeat Phantom Ganon for good. They are also the only weapon which can harm Puppet Ganon. In the final fight with Ganondorf, Zelda shoots Ganondorf with the Light Arrows to stun him to give Link a chance to attack him and eventually land the final blow.
The Minish Cap
To obtain the Light Arrows in The Minish Cap, Link must go through a sequence of events. Before obtaining the Wind Element, Link can fuse Kinstones with Stranger from Hyrule Town to cause a portal to open in South Hyrule Field. Once Link steps into the portal, he is teleported to the Tower of Winds where the Wind Tribe now lives. Here, Link meets cursed Gregal. In order to remove the curse on Gregal, Link must suck him with the Gust Jar. Link can exit the tower and enter it again through the front door.
Finally, Gregal gives Link the Light Arrows. It is important for Link to follow the steps shown properly, as messing up on any one of them can make it impossible to obtain the Light Arrows anymore. Though they are able to defeat many enemies very easily, they not required to complete the game.
Twilight Princess
Princess Zelda summons Light Arrows to use in the final battle against Ganondorf. While Link rides Epona around Hyrule Field, Zelda shoots Light Arrows to stun Ganondorf so that Link can attack with the Master Sword.
