Bow: Difference between revisions

|[[A Link to the Past Nintendo Player's Guide]]}}

[[Link (A Link to the Past)|Link]] obtains the Bow as the treasure of the [[Eastern Palace (A Link to the Past)|Eastern Palace]], also the first dungeon of the game. Link starts out with the ability to hold 30 arrows, but this amount can be increased by five if he donates 100 rupees to the [[Venus|Great Fairy]] in [[Lake Hylia]]. This is repeatable until Link reaches the maximum amount of 70. In a similar fashion to the original ''The Legend of Zelda'', Link obtains the [[Silver Arrows]] from the [[Cursed Fairy]] inside the [[Pyramid of Power]], which do incredible amounts of damage and are needed to defeat Ganon.

==''Link's Awakening''==

The Bow functions like it does in other 2D ''Zelda'' titles, but in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', [[Link (A Link to the Past)#Link's Awakening|Link]] can create a [[Bomb Arrow]] by dropping a bomb and firing an arrow at the same time. The Bow can be purchased from the [[Mabe Village]]'s [[Town Tool Shop|Shop]] for a whopping 980 rupees. It is possible to steal it by simply grabbing it and heading out the head. However, stealing from this shop will cause two annoying consequences. Firstly, for the rest of the game, Link will be called THIEF by everyone instead of the name chosen on the Select File Screen. Secondly, every time Link enters the shop after he has stolen an item, the shopkeeper will yell at Link and kill him.

==''Ocarina of Time''==

{{Main|Fairy Bow}}

The [[Fairy Bow]] is found in the [[Forest Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Forest Temple]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] receives [[Fire Arrow]]s by shooting at the sun above [[Lake Hylia]] and [[Ice Arrow]]s by completing the [[Gerudo Training Ground]]. Also, Link receives the [[Light Arrow]]s from [[Zelda (Ocarina of Time)|Princess Zelda]] once he has awakened all the [[Seven Sages]]. Using the Bow puts the user in a first-person perspective, and the arrows arc upwards somewhat. Link's original quiver can hold 30 arrows and can be upgraded to 40 and 50 in the [[Kakariko Village (Ocarina of Time)|Kakariko Village]] [[Shooting Gallery]] and the [[Horseback Archery]] mini-game, respectively.

==''Skyward Sword''==

The Bow is received in the [[Sandship]], and can be used to defeat far-off enemies, activate [[Timeshift Stone]]s, and more. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'' ([[Nintendo Wii|Wii)]], it is used with the Wii Remote in the right hand and the Nunchuck in the left. After holding C to nock an arrow, [[Link (Skyward Sword)|Link]] can pull back the Nunchuck, as if Link is pulling back the string on an actual bow, and release the C-button to shoot an arrow. This is the same control scheme that can be found in Wii Sports Resort for archery. As usual, Link can shoot enemies with the Bow, and items can be knocked off trees and other objects. Additionally, items dropped by enemies (such as hearts) can also be shot with the Bow and pinned to walls. By doing this, Link can reclaim his dropped heart as well as his arrow.

===''BS The Legend of Zelda''===

The Bow is found in both [[Level 1 (BS The Legend of Zelda MAP 1)|Level 1 of MAP1]] and [[Level 1 (BS The Legend of Zelda MAP 2)|Level 1 of MAP2]]. As in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', it is useless until [[arrow]]s are purchased from an [[Item Shop]], after which each arrow costs 1 rupee to fire. The bow and [[Silver Arrow]]s are required to defeat [[Ganon]] at the end of Week 4.

===''Super Mario Maker 2''===

In ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', when Mario uses the [[Master Sword]] power-up to transform into Link, Link can use the bow to shoot either straight ahead, up diagonally or down diagonally. The resulting arrow is strongly affected by gravity, and shoots in a ballistic trajectory.
