==A Link to the Past==
'''Bow Soldier''', also known as '''Archers''' are recurring enemies in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]].{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Encyclopedia]]'', pg. 205}} They are a variety of [[Soldier]]s that specialize in utilizing [[Arrow]]s and are commonly found in the [[Light World]]. There are two varieties of this enemy: green and blue.
Archers reside in the [[Light World]] overworld. They hide in the grass and bushes waiting for you. When you come in their range, they begin to shoot at you. Sometimes they'll be in groups while running back and forth. Run up to them while moving in zigzag patterns to avoid their arrows. Use your sword on them after you get up to them. Another strategy  would be to give them a taste of their own medicine by shooting arrows at them. Archers look just like [[Soldier]]s but with Bows instead.
 
Making direct contact with the Archers or being hit by their arrows will deal 1/2 a heart of damage to [[Link]]. The arrows fired by them can easily be deflected with any shield.
 
==Green Bow Soldier==
[[File:Green-Archer-Sprite-1.png|left]]The Green Archers are stationary, hiding in the grass and underneath bushes awaiting Link to approach them. When Link draws near, they will pop up to shoot arrows at him before retreating back down. They can easily be defeated with two slashes with the [[Fighter's Sword]].

==Blue Bow Soldier==
{{main|Blue Bow Soldier}}
Unlike the Green Archers, the Blue Archers can be found patrolling areas of the overworld. Upon spotting Link, they will chase him while keeping their distance to shoot arrows at him. They are slightly stronger than their green counterparts, requiring three slashes with the Fighter's Sword to defeat. Blue Archers will also often leave behind arrows as a reward for defeating them.
