Strengthened Lizal Bow

Strengthened-lizal-bow.png

Steel Lizal Bows have a base power of 36, base durability of 50 and base range of 20. They can usually be found in the hands of Black Lizalfos in the outer regions of Hyrule.

Main article: Savage Lynel Bow

Savage Lynel Bows are triple-shot bows with a base power of 32 per arrow, base durability of 45 and base range of 20. They can be obtained by defeating White-Maned Lynels or Silver Lynels scattered in the overworld, for example in the Coliseum Ruins. These bows will fire three arrows at once, and only consume one in the process. They can be found in five-shot variants.

"This Lynel bow is made from a special steel found at the peak of Death Mountain. It has tremendous stopping power and can pierce thick armor as easily as thin paper."
