Ok so I have lots of ideas floating around in my head and I’m wanting some LoZ arrow ideas. I want serious answers of things that may actually look somewhat realistic to a LoZ game and I don’t want any OP arrows either. Also no guns or bullets or something like that.
Here are some of my arrow ideas so you don’t say the same arrows as me (also if you have feedback I’d like that too):

Sheika Arrow- an arrow carved by the sheika for extra range



Steel Arrow- an arrow with a steel arrowhead for extra damage



Royal Arrow- an arrow that is special and meant for knights that has great damage and range



Magic Arrow- an arrow that is enhanced with magic and once was a steel arrow, can be infused with magic to increase range or power or 2 magic for both



Net Arrow- an arrow that explodes on contact into a net that incapacitates up to 2 enemies for 10s


Light Arrow- an arrow that does extra damage to bosses and corrupted enemies



Dark Arrow- an arrow that does extra damage to spelled enemies



Growth Arrow- an arrow that causes a climbable vine to grow from the ground, they disappear if they hit an enemy without dealing any damage



Gust Arrow- an arrow that pushes the enemy or object it hits with a gust of wind that pushes them, can be infused with magic to push them further and increase range of the arrow



Rope Arrow- an arrow with a rope attached so that when link shoots the arrow into a target he can climb up the rope



Piercing Arrow- an arrow that can pierce through thick armored enemies and on non-armored enemies it pierces through one and can hit another



Water Arrow- an arrow that has terrible range but when shot underwater it has an increased range



Master Arrow- an arrow that is made of unknown material that is quite rare and impossible to make, it seems to feel sacred and connected to you and if you have full hearts it glows and has increased power and range



Sniper Arrow- an arrow that has incredible range and when it land a headshot it will do double damage



Phantom Arrow- an arrow that moves through thin walls or fences or obstacles to hit targets or enemies on the other side



Cryonis Arrow- an arrow that creates a column of ice where the arrow land if it lands on any water, if it hits an enemy it will slow their movements down



Poison Arrow- an arrow that does normal damage but does extra damage overtime over a period of 10s



Glass Arrow- an arrow that breaks on impact, it causes a lot of damage and has a small AoE and deals a little damage in AoE

I like some of your suggestions, I think they'd be interesting to see implemented.
I must say however that both the Bomb Arrow and the Light Arrow already exists. Especially the Light Arrow is often in Zelda-games
Ok, tysm for your feedback

Impact Arrow-A non-lethal arrow with a blunt head that incapacitates rather then kills(could maybe be used on human enemies that are under demonic possessions out of their control or something); a headshot will result in an instant knockout.

Homing Arrow-An enchanted malice-seeking arrow that can home in on enemies. Costs some MP.

Petrification Arrow-An enchanted arrow that temporarily drains enemies of their life force, turning them to stone for a limited time. Smashing them with a hammer/ball of chain or other heavy object during this time will destroy them permanently. Costs a little bit of MP.

Black Hole Arrow-Creates a black hole when shot that sucks in enemies; not guaranteed to work on heavier, stronger foes. Costs alot of MP.

Acidic Arrows-Burns enemies from the inside when they get shot with one; does damage over time. Costs some MP.

Mine Arrows-Plants a mine wherever it makes its mark, whether on an enemy or on terrain. Can be remotely detonated at any time. Works well for traps on wandering enemies when you're feeling stealthy.

Magnet arrow- attracts enemies weapons while it's flying to make more pointy things hit the target

Beetle arrow- basically the same as a homing arrow except the tip looks like the Beetle weapon from SS

Four arrow- can split in midair and hit four targets at once, rumored to be made from a similar material as the four sword

Timeshift arrow- restores the immediate area around where it hits to its past state. Can be useful in areas where there's no platforms in the present. Gives off an eerie blue glow, and has little effect on enemies.

Blowback arrow- deals a great amount of damage but gives Link a shoulder ache. Lose 1/4 of a heart.

Korok arrow- the Koroks carve these for Link as a sign of their friendship. They're entirely made of wood and leave. Don't deal much damage but it's a nice gesture and they work in a pinch

Spirit arrow- can harm poes when they aren't in solid form

Zora arrow- can be fired underwater

I would actually love these or sleep arrows as a way to let me be pacifist toward nonthreatening enemies like wolves or weak bokoblin. The only issue would be supply as incapacitating ranged attacks tend to be strong and therefore hard to obtain

I have a habit of not killing things that aren't aggro and trying to run past things that aren't really a threat to me
