In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', the Fairy Bow is the dungeon item of the [[Forest Temple]]. It is the first Bow to shift [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] into a first-person view while aiming it, and is an overall upgrade to the [[Fairy Slingshot]] - Link can use it to snipe faraway enemies and Switches, and its shots are more powerful than those of the Slingshot. This is the first Bow to be able to use multiple types of Arrows, as Link can obtain the [[Fire Arrow|Fire Arrows]], [[Ice Arrow|Ice Arrows]], and [[Light Arrow|Light Arrows]] to use in place of regular Arrows.
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.

{{Main|Hero's Bow}}
The Hero's Bow is obtained in the [[Woodfall Temple]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. It functions in exactly the same way as ''Ocarina of Time's'' Fairy Bow, with the only difference being in its appearance. [[Link (Ocarina of Time)#Majora's Mask|Link]] also gets new types of arrows in every dungeon. Link acquires the [[Fire Arrow]]s in the [[Snowhead Temple]], [[Ice Arrow]]s in the [[Great Bay Temple]], and [[Light Arrow]]s in the [[Stone Tower Temple]]. There are two Shooting Galleries, one in [[Clock Town|East Clock Town]] and another in the [[Southern Swamp]]. Beating either upgrade Link's quiver once.
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', the Hero's Bow is the dungeon item of the [[Woodfall Temple]]. It functions almost identically to the Fairy Bow in ''Ocarina of Time'', but with an altered appearance. Link can obtain the Fire, Ice, and Light Arrows to use with it.
 
==''Four Swords''==
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past + Four Swords|Four Swords]]'', the Bow can be obtained as a temporary item in certain stages. It functions mostly identically to the Bow in ''A Link to the Past'', although [[Link (Four Swords)|Link]] can charge shots to increase their speed.


==''The Wind Waker''==

{{Main|Hero's Bow}}
{{Main|Hero's Bow}}
The Hero's Bow is obtained in the [[Tower of the Gods]]. It functions the same way as it does in previous 3D ''Zelda'' titles, except that the arrows travel entirely straight, instead of arcing upwards. Quiver upgrades are obtained from various [[Great Fairy|Great Fairies]], allowing [[Link (The Wind Waker)|Link]] to eventually hold 99 arrows. Link receives the [[Fire Arrow]]s and [[Ice Arrow]]s from the [[Queen of Fairies]], and the [[Light Arrow]]s in the catacombs.
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', the Hero's Bow is the dungeon item of the [[Tower of the Gods]]. It functions identically to its previous 3D appearances, except now Arrows fly in a completely straight line. Link can obtain the Fire, Ice, and Light Arrows to use with it.
 
==''Four Swords''==
The Bow can be randomly found on the Item Podiums that exist in the game. [[Link (Four Swords)|Link]] can charge it to make it shoot faster.


==''Four Swords Adventures''==
==''Four Swords Adventures''==
The Bow can be randomly found on the Item Podiums that exist in the game. The Links can shoot unlimited arrows from it. Charged shots can pierce multiple targets, and break objects as well as pin large objects (like force crystals) to the wall. If [[Link (Four Swords Adventures)|Link]] meets the [[Great Fairy]], she upgrades it to the Level 2 Bow, which can have 3 arrows on the screen at once.{{Ref|FSA|557|In-Game Description}}
Similarly to ''Four Swords'', the Bow in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures]]'' can be randomly found as a temporary item in certain stages. It is often used to solve puzzles, but also works as a ranged weapon. [[Link (Four Swords Adventures)|Link]] can present the Bow to the [[Great Fairy]] to upgrade it to the Level 2 Bow, which shoots three Arrows at once.{{Ref|FSA|557|In-game description}}

[[File:BowAndArrow_MC.png|thumb|right|150px|[[Link (The Minish Cap)|Link]] obtaining the Bow in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'']]
The Bow is found in [[Castor Wilds]]. Its firing rate can be increased by catching the [[Joy Butterfly]] found in the [[Wind Ruins]], which appears after [[Link (The Minish Cap)|Link]] successfully performs a [[Kinstone Fusion]] with [[Din (Oracle)|Din]]. The Bow can eventually fire [[Light Arrow]]s if Link performs an optional side quest, which is rather lengthy.
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', the Bow is located in northwest [[Castor Wilds]], through a small hole that Link can only pass through at [[Minish]] size. The Bow is used to solve puzzles and defeat enemies, and is required to activate (and thus defeat) Eyegore Statues. Unlike in previous games, the Bow is much less powerful, and is overshadowed by the completed [[Four Sword]].
 
Link can also obtain the Light Arrows to use with the Bow; however, they must be obtained ''before'' Link travels to the [[Palace of Winds]].
