The Bow of Light is a bow only available for use in the final battle with [[Dark Beast Ganon (Breath of the Wild)|Dark Beast Ganon]], gifted by [[Zelda]] to help defeat it. It has an attack of 100, range of 500 and a nominal durability of 100, but cannot break within the boss fight.

Wooden Bows have a base power of 4, base durability of 20 and base range of 20. They can often be found on the ground, or in the hands of [[Stalkoblin]]'s or Red [[Bokoblin]]s on the [[Great Plateau]]. Due to the construction being mainly wooden, this weapon can catch fire. They are tied with the basic [[Boko Bow]] as the weakest bows that Link can acquire in the game.

Traveler's Bows have a base power of 5, base durability of 22 and base range of 20. They are usually wielded by [[Stalkoblin]]s and Red [[Bokoblin]]s in and around the [[Great Plateau]] area. [[Link]] can find several Traveler's Bows on the Great Plateau, including one in a Treasure Chest at the [[Temple of Time (Breath of the Wild)|Temple of Time]], as well as one within the [[Oman Au Shrine]].

[[Link]] can find his first Soldier's Bow in a treasure chest on the [[Great Plateau]], located at the top of the [[Temple of Time (Breath of the Wild)|Temple of Time]]. Another Soldier's Bow will continuously spawn at the [[Tabantha Bridge Stable]], on top of tarp that covers some crates. As the [[World Level]] increases, they will tend to replace Traveler's Bows, and be replaced by Knight's Bows in turn.

Knight's Bows have a base power of 26, base durability of 48 and base range of 20. They can usually be found in the possession of [[Blue Bokoblin]]s in the [[Gerudo (Breath of the Wild)|Gerudo]] region and [[Black Moblin]]s in the [[Hebra]] region. They have a fully metal construction, meaning lightning will be attracted and potentially cause a strike to hit [[Link]]. As the [[World Level]] increases, they will tend to replace Soldier's Bows, and be replaced by Royal Bows in turn.

One must be equipped at all times whilst attempting [[The Test of Wood]] Shrine Quest, or [[Link]] will be disqualified and be required to start the trial again.

Silver Bows have a base power of 15, base durability of 40 and base range of 20. They can be found in various locations in [[Hyrule]], but they are most common in and around [[Zora's Domain]]. Made almost entirely from metal, in a thunderstorm lightning will be attracted to the weapon, potentially dealing significant damage to Link. They sport the classic Zora colors of blue and silver.

Golden Bows have a base power of 14, base durability of 60 and base range of 40. One, which respawns, can be found in the [[Barracks]] of [[Gerudo Town (Breath of the Wild)|Gerudo Town]]. Like Phrenic Bows, they have limited zoom capabilities.

Royal Guard's Bows have a base power of 50, base durability of 20 and base range of 30. They can be found all over the place within [[Hyrule Castle]]. Like all Royal Guard's weapons, they have high power, at the cost of relatively low durability. In appearance, they look similar to the [[Royal Bow]] in a darker color scheme.

Lizal Bows have a base power of 14, base durability of 25 and base range of 20. They are commonly wielded by Green [[Lizalfos]] in the [[Lanayru]] region, who also favor the use of [[Shock Arrow]]s. The construction of this bow is mainly wooden, with the occasional addition of bone. This means it won't attract lightning, but can still catch fire.

Duplex Bows are double-shot bows with a base power of 14 per arrow, base durability of 18 and base range of 40. They are used by members of the [[Yiga Clan]], in particular by the [[Yiga Footsoldier]]s who will occasionally teleport in close proximity to [[Link]] after he has defeated [[Master Kohga]] in the [[Yiga Clan Hideout]]. These bows will fire two arrows at once, and only consume one in the process, hence the name "duplex".
