[[File:Bow-of-light.png|right]]

{{Main|Bow of Light}}

The Bow of Light is a bow only available for use in the final battle with [[Dark Beast Ganon (Breath of the Wild)|Dark Beast Ganon]], gifted by [[Zelda]] to help defeat it. It has an attack of 100, range of 500 and a nominal durability of 100, but cannot break within the boss fight.

The [[Breath of the Wild amiibo Exclusive Weapons|amiibo-only]] [[Twilight Bow]] is similar but weaker, and can be used outside of the final boss battle.

=== Wooden Bow ===

[[File:Wooden-bow.png|right]]

{{Main|Wooden Bow}}

Wooden Bows have a base power of 4, base durability of 20 and base range of 20. They can often be found on the ground, or in the hands of [[Stalkoblin]]'s or Red [[Bokoblin]]s on the [[Great Plateau]]. Due to the construction being mainly wooden, this weapon can catch fire. They are tied with the basic [[Boko Bow]] as the weakest bows that Link can acquire in the game.

=== Traveler's Bow ===

[[File:Travelers-bow.png|right]]

{{Main|Traveler's Bow}}

Traveler's Bows have a base power of 5, base durability of 22 and base range of 20. They are usually wielded by [[Stalkoblin]]s and Red [[Bokoblin]]s in and around the [[Great Plateau]] area. [[Link]] can find several Traveler's Bows on the Great Plateau, including one in a Treasure Chest at the [[Temple of Time (Breath of the Wild)|Temple of Time]], as well as one within the [[Oman Au Shrine]].

As the [[World Level]] increases, they will tend to be replaced by Soldier's Bows.

{{Main|Soldier's Bow}}

[[Link]] can find his first Soldier's Bow in a treasure chest on the [[Great Plateau]], located at the top of the [[Temple of Time (Breath of the Wild)|Temple of Time]]. Another Soldier's Bow will continuously spawn at the [[Tabantha Bridge Stable]], on top of tarp that covers some crates. As the [[World Level]] increases, they will tend to replace Traveler's Bows, and be replaced by Knight's Bows in turn.

{{Main|Knight's Bow}}

They have a fully metal construction, meaning lightning will be attracted and potentially cause a strike to hit [[Link]]. As the [[World Level]] increases, they will tend to replace Soldier's Bows, and be replaced by Royal Bows in turn.
