In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', the Bow is called the Hero's Bow and is obtained in the [[Goron Mines]]. Depending on what system the game is being played on, the controls regarding the Bow vary. In the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] version, the aiming system is the same as in previous 3D Zelda titles. On the [[Nintendo Wii|Wii]], the player must aim the Wii Remote at the point where they want to shoot. The camera can be rotated using the joystick, allowing for simultaneous movement and aiming. The quiver upgrades can be obtained by completing the [[STAR Game]] in [[Castle Town]] with the [[Clawshot]], or, to make it easier, the [[Double Clawshots]]. These upgrades allow Link to hold 60 and 100 arrows, respectively.

This game features [[Bomb Arrow]]s, which are projectile explosives that can destroy faraway obstacles. They can be equipped by first making Link equip his Bow, and then moving the cursor over a [[Bomb Bag]], and pressing the appropriate button.

The Bow is again featured in the 16th ''The Legend of Zelda'' installment, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. In this game, the Bow is received in the [[Sandship]], and can be used to kill far-off enemies, activate [[Timeshift Stone]]s, and more. The controls are much different than that Link has ever since before. It is used with the Wii Remote in the right hand and the Nunchuck in the left. After holding C to nock an arrow, the player can pull back the Nunchuck, as if the player 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.

After getting the Bow from the Sandship, Link can upgrade it to the [[Iron Bow]] and then the [[Sacred Bow]] at the [[Scrap Shop]] in the [[Bazaar]] in [[Skyloft]].

The Bow is first made available while Link is in search of the first dungeon of the game, the [[Eastern Palace (A Link Between Worlds)|Eastern Palace]]. While he is in the [[Eastern Ruins]], he comes upon a dead end, with signs that have a picture of the Bow on them. If Link returns to his [[Link's House|home]], he tells [[Ravio]] about what he saw. Ravio asks Link what was the picture on the signs, and if Link answers correctly, Ravio lets Link borrow his Bow. With the Bow in hand, Link can get past the dead end and make his way into the Eastern Palace, where the Bow is used frequently.

The first time the player gets a Game Over, [[Sheerow]] will come in and take the Bow back from Link, meaning if he needs it again, he must pay the rental fee of 50 [[Rupee]]s. However, if Link dies before completing the Eastern Palace, he can rent the Bow for 10 Rupees instead of the 50 Rupees.

Later on in the game, Link can upgrade the Bow into the [[Nice Bow]]. This upgraded version shoots three arrows at a time instead of one, dealing three times as much damage. It can be acquired by returning ten [[Maiamai]]s to [[Mother Maiamai]], and then giving her the Bow. However, Mother Maiamai can only do the upgrade on the Bow if Link has purchased it, not rented.
