'''Ice Arrows''' are recurring [[Item|Items]] in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. They are [[Arrow|Arrows]] imbued with the elemental power of [[Ice]], and can be used as an alternative ammunition for the [[Bow]] at the cost of [[Magic Power]] (in games with such a mechanic).

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', the Ice Arrows are the dungeon item of the [[Great Bay Temple]], guarded by [[Wart]]. Ice Arrows in this game no longer damage enemies, only freezing them solid, and more enemies are invulnerable to their effects, so they are mainly used to solve puzzles. They can now create ice platforms on the surface of water, freeze waterfalls (although in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D|Majora's Mask 3D]]'' they can only create platforms on sparkling water), and temporarily freeze [[Chuchu|Chuchus]] into ice blocks that can be pushed and climbed onto. The Ice Arrows are also required to access [[Ikana Canyon]] by using ice platforms to cross the [[Ikana River]].

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', the Ice Arrows are located alongside the [[Fire Arrow|Fire Arrows]] at the [[Mother and Child Isles]]. To obtain them, Link must use the [[Ballad of Gales]] to warp inside the large rock structure, where he will meet the [[Fairy Queen]]; However, the Fairy Queen will not give Link the Arrows until he has saved [[Aryll]] from the [[Forsaken Fortress]].

Ice Arrows freeze most enemies solid, enabling [[Link (The Wind Waker)|Link]] to shatter and instantly defeat them with the [[Skull Hammer]]; Certain flying enemies will be instantly defeated regardless, as the fall will often be enough to shatter them. They are required to gain access to [[Fire Mountain]] and obtain the [[Power Bracelet|Power Bracelets]].

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', Ice Arrows are a type of Arrow that can be used with any Bow. They can be dropped by archer enemies, found inside [[Treasure Chest|Treasure Chests]], or purchased from the following vendors:

When shot from a Bow, Ice Arrows deal +10 damage and freeze the target solid, instantly defeating [[Fire Wizzrobe|Fire Wizzrobes]], [[Meteo Wizzrobe|Meteo Wizzrobes]], and [[Fire-Breath Lizalfos]]. They also emit cold and light while drawn, enabling them to keep [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] cool in hot climates and illuminate dark areas.
