'''Bows''', also known as '''Hero's Bows''' or '''Fairy Bows''', are recurring items in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. | |||
==Locations and uses== | |||
Bows are used as Link's primary ranged weapon, using [[Arrow|Arrows]] as ammunition; these projectiles must be equipped in order to use the Bow, and are consumed upon firing. With the Bow, Link can snipe faraway [[Switch|Switches]], enemies, and other objects. Sometimes, Link will be able to use different types of Arrows with the Bow, such as [[Fire Arrow|Fire Arrows]] or [[Bomb Arrow|Bomb Arrows]]. | |||
Being a staple item in the series, the Bow is almost always a dungeon item; in the 3D games, the Bow is typically guarded by a [[Sub-Boss]]. In 2D games, the Bow can shoort Arrows in any cardinal direction, while in the 3D games, Link will typically switch to a first-person view when aiming the Bow and can fire at any angle. Since its debut, the Bow has received several different upgrades, as well as different types of Arrows to use in conjunction with it. | |||
A recurring, upgraded Bow, the [[Bow of Light]], has the ability to fire [[Light Arrow|Arrows comprised of sacred light]]. A variant of the Bow, the [[Crossbow]], also appears in ambiguous and non-canon media, firing Arrows from a wider angle. | |||
''[[The Legend of Zelda: | ==''The Legend of Zelda''== | ||
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', the Bow is one of the dungeon items of [[Level 1: The Eagle]], although it is instead found in [[Level 5: The Lizard]] in the [[Second Quest]]. Once [[Link (The Legend of Zelda)|Link]] has purchased an Arrow from a [[Shop]] for 80 [[Rupee|Rupees]], he can use the Bow to fire Arrows; each shot consumes 1 Rupee. Arrows shot from the Bow deal 2 damage, instantly kill [[Pols Voice|Pols Voices]], and are the only weapon capable of damaging [[Gohma (The Legend of Zelda)|Gohma]]. Link can later upgrade his Arrows to the [[Silver Arrow|Silver Arrows]], which deal double damage and are required to defeat [[Ganon]]. | |||
''[[ | ==''A Link to the Past''== | ||
{{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.|''[[A Link to the Past Nintendo Player's Guide]]''}} | |||
''[[ | {{Quote|Bow & Arrows<br/>When Link acquires the Bow from the Big Chest in the Eastern Palace, he will need to begin building his supply of Arrows. Arrows can most easily be obtained by defeating enemies who use Arrows as their primary weapon. It's possible for him to carry many more than 30 Arrows, but he must visit the Fountain of Happiness. | ||
|''[[A Link to the Past Nintendo Player's Guide]]''}} | |||
''[[The Legend of Zelda: | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', the Bow is the dungeon item of the [[Eastern Palace (A Link to the Past)|Eastern Palace]]; Arrows are now introduced as their own, separate resource, enabling [[Link (A Link to the Past)|Link]] to shoot the Bow without spending Rupees. Arrows shot from the Bow deal piercing damage, making it stronger than the [[Fighter's Sword]], and is the only weapon capable of damaging certain enemies, e.g. the [[Eyegore|Eyegores]]. Like in the previous game, Link can upgrade his Arrows to Silver Arrows, which deal double damage compared to regular Arrows and are required to defeat Ganon. The Bow is also required to play the [[Shooting Gallery]] at the [[Village of Outcasts]]. | ||
''[[The Legend of Zelda: | ==''Link's Awakening''== | ||
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', the Bow is purchased from the [[Town Tool Shop]] in [[Mabe Village]] for 980 Rupees; however, Link can steal it instead. Link must first have purchased the [[Shovel]] before he can obtain the Bow. It functions mostly identically to its previous appearances, being able to shoot strong Arrows that damage certain enemies the [[Sword (Item)|Sword]] cannot. However, the Bow is mostly optional in this game, only being required to defeat the [[Armos Knight (Link's Awakening)|Armos Knight]] and for a specific puzzle in [[Turtle Rock (Link's Awakening)|Turtle Rock]]. The Bow is also one of the items that Link can trade to the [[Secret Goriya]] for the [[Boomerang]]. | |||
''[[The Legend of Zelda: | ==''Ocarina of Time''== | ||
{{Main|Fairy Bow}} | |||
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 Legend of Zelda: | ==''Majora's Mask''== | ||
{{Main|Hero's Bow}} | |||
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. | |||
''[[The Legend of Zelda: | ==''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 Legend of Zelda: | ==''The Wind Waker''== | ||
{{Main|Hero's Bow}} | |||
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. | |||
''[[The Legend of Zelda: | ==''Four Swords Adventures''== | ||
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}} | |||
==''The Minish Cap''== | |||
[[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]]'']] | |||
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]]. | ||
{{clear|left}} | |||
==''Twilight Princess''== | |||
{{Main|Hero's Bow}} | |||
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]], [[Link (Twilight Princess)|Link]] 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. | |||
==''Phantom Hourglass''== | |||
The Bow in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'' is found in the [[Temple of Courage]]. Because this game features touch screen controls, here you touch the screen where you want to shoot and release to fire. [[Link (The Wind Waker)#Phantom Hourglass|Link]] starts out with a quiver that can hold 20 arrows. After completing the [[Temple of Courage]], Link gets a [[Letter]] from [[Romanos]], which tells Link about his new [[Shooting Gallery]]. Playing his mini-game and scoring between 1,700 and 1,990 points awards Link with a larger quiver; one that can hold 30 arrows. Purchasing the final upgrade for 1,000 rupees from the Molida or Mercay island item shops allows Link to hold 50 arrows. | |||
==''Spirit Tracks''== | |||
The Bow is found in the [[Fire Temple (Spirit Tracks)|Fire Temple]], and is fired in the same way as it was in ''Phantom Hourglass''. In the [[Sand Temple]] [[Link (Spirit Tracks)|Link]] obtains the [[Bow of Light]], which he must use to activate certain switches and defeat [[Malladus]]. After completing the Fire Temple, Link can purchase the first quiver upgrade at the shop in [[Goron Village]] for 2,000 rupees, allowing Link to hold 30 arrows. For an upgrade to 50 arrows, score between 3,500 and 4,000 points in the [[Pirate Hideout Mini-Game]]. | |||
==''Skyward Sword''== | |||
[[File:Bowlinkpng.png|right|150px|Link drawing the Bow in Skyward Sword]] | |||
The Bow is received in the [[Sandship]], and can be used to defeat far-off enemies, activate [[Timeshift Stone]]s, and more. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'' ([[Nintendo Wii|Wii)]], it is used with the Wii Remote in the right hand and the Nunchuck in the left. After holding C to nock an arrow, [[Link (Skyward Sword)|Link]] can pull back the Nunchuck, as if Link 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 [[Skyward Sword Upgrades|upgrade]] it to the [[Iron Bow]] and then the [[Sacred Bow]] at the [[Scrap Shop]] in the [[Bazaar]] in [[Skyloft]]. | |||
==''A Link Between Worlds''== | |||
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]'', the Bow can be rented (50 rupees) or purchased (800 rupees) from [[Ravio's Shop]]. However, there are no arrows - instead, every time [[Link (A Link Between Worlds)|Link]] uses the Bow, his [[Energy Gauge]] depletes; this is the first game since the original ''The Legend of Zelda'' to feature the Bow, but not collectible arrows. | |||
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 Link 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 when 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 Link gets a Game Over, [[Sheerow]] comes in and takes the Bow back from Link, meaning if he needs it again, he must pay the rental fee of 50 rupees. 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. | |||
== | ==''Tri Force Heroes''== | ||
{{stub|section}} | |||
In Tri Force Heroes the bow can be obtained on select stages. Wearing the [[Kokiri Clothes]] will allow you to shoot three arrows at once. | |||
== | ==''Breath of the Wild''== | ||
{{main|Breath of the Wild Bows}} | |||
{{stub|section}} | |||
Numerous types of bow are available for [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] in ''Breath of the Wild'', but all lose durability with use until they ultimately break. | |||

===''BS The Legend of Zelda''=== | |||
[[File:Bow - BS Zelda.png|62px|right|Bow sprite from BS The Legend of Zelda]] | |||
The Bow is found in both [[Level 1 (BS The Legend of Zelda MAP 1)|Level 1 of MAP1]] and [[Level 1 (BS The Legend of Zelda MAP 2)|Level 1 of MAP2]]. As in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', it is useless until [[arrow]]s are purchased from an [[Item Shop]], after which each arrow costs 1 rupee to fire. The bow and [[Silver Arrow]]s are required to defeat [[Ganon]] at the end of Week 4. | |||
{{Clear}} | |||
== | ===''Hyrule Warriors''=== | ||
The Bow is found in the [[The Sorceress of the Woods]] [[Legend Mode]] scenario. It is required primarily to destroy [[Deku Baba]]s. | |||
== | ===''Cadence of Hyrule''=== | ||
In ''[[Cadence of Hyrule]]'', the Bow is a modular permanent item. After acquiring it, players can find [[Fire Arrow]]s, [[Ice Arrow]]s, [[Lightning Arrow]]s, [[Poison Arrow]]s, and the [[Great Bow]] scattered across [[Hyrule]]. The Bow starts with a maximum capacity of ten [[arrow]]s, but can be upgraded to hold 20 arrows. | |||
== | ===''Battle Quest''=== | ||
{{Main|Hero's Bow}} | |||
The Bow is featured in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Battle Quest|Battle Quest]]'', one of 12 attractions that make up Nintendo Land, a launch title for the [[Nintendo Wii U|Wii U]]. It is specifically called the Hero's Bow. It is the weapon of choice for Link who is using the GamePad. It is used by holding down the right control stick to load the shot, and then releasing to let the arrow fire. The GamePad's gyroscope is used to aim. | |||
== | ===''Super Mario Maker 2''=== | ||
[[File:Link Holding Bow - SMM2.png|right|64px|Link drawing the Bow in Super Mario Maker 2]] | |||
In ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', when Mario uses the [[Master Sword]] power-up to transform into Link, Link can use the bow to shoot either straight ahead, up diagonally or down diagonally. The resulting arrow is strongly affected by gravity, and shoots in a ballistic trajectory. | |||
