Ancient Arrows are arrows from Breath of the Wild.
Breath of the Wild
Ancient Arrows are created using ancient Sheikah technology.
These arrows work much like Light Arrows in The Wind Waker, destroying most normal enemies in a single hit (although they won't drop any items or weapons). They will instantly kill any Decayed Guardian or Sentry, and will reduce any other Guardian's health by a third of its max HP. If used on any type of boss, the arrow will deal an extra 50 damage in addition to the attack power of the bow used.
If used with Ancient Proficiency (the Ancient Set's set bonus), it will deal a bonus +80% damage.
A single one of these arrows is given to Link by Beedle on Customer Appreciation Day. Customer Appreciation day is the day on which Link engages Beedle after having freed his first Divine Beast.
The best place to obtain these is either from opening chests around Hyrule Castle, or from purchasing them from the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab. The fact that they can be found in Hyrule Castle implies that either Robbie, Jerrin or Granté snuck into the castle and hid them there. It may have been Robbie en route to Fort Hateno, as he was said to have gone there to eliminate the remaining Guardians in atonement for failing to protect Link during the Great Calamity.
The Ancient Arrow is the result of a regular arrow being combined with an Ancient dagger, a piece of Ancient Technology discovered by Robbie. This is the reason the arrow's point opens like a switchblade when nocked in a bow for shooting. The first was created solely by him, 20-30 years before Jerrin joined him from Kakariko Village.

Trivia
- As shown in the E3 2014 trailer, the arrow requires Link to pull a trigger located on its hilt to release the dagger's blade. The trigger is hidden under a lid that Link lifts with his finger.
- It's been speculated by fans that the daggers used for the arrows, due to their tremendous power and obliterating effect, may have been used for assassination purposes originally, as no other Ancient Weapon features such an effect.
- Due to the assumption that they flee for safety after being defeated, it's shown that Ancient Arrows are the only way to effectively kill Yiga Footsoldiers and Yiga Blademasters, as the arrows completely obliterate them.
