{{Quote|Link later became known as the most skilled archer in all of [[Hyrule]], and historians believe that he found and first used the Bow and Arrow in the Eastern Palace. They were the most effective weapons to use against the fierce Armos Knights and several other enemies.|Nintendo Power Player's Guide}}

|Nintendo Power Player's Guide}}

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. Similarly to the original ''The Legend of Zelda'', Link obtains the Silver Arrows inside the [[Pyramid of Power]], which do incredible amounts of damage and are needed to defeat Ganon.

[[File:Bow_LA.png|left|''Bow Sprite from 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 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.

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 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|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 at the [[Kakariko Village]] [[Shooting Gallery]] and the [[Gerudo Horseback Archery]] mini-game, respectively.

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]].

* In the [[Second Quest]] of ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', the [[Bow]] is found in the [[Level 5: The Lizard|fifth dungeon]] of the game instead of the [[Level 1: The Eagle|first]].
