Fairy Bow: Difference between revisions

The '''Fairy Bow''' is a recurring [[Item]] in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. It is a variant of the [[Bow]], with the same uses.  

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', the Fairy Bow is the dungeon item of the [[Forest Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Forest Temple]]. It can only be used by [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Adult Link]]; he can use it to fire Arrows, aiming in a first-person view, to snipe faraway enemies or [[Switch]]es. It is used to engage the [[Poe Sisters]] by firing Arrows to dislodge their paintings, and can also be used when fighting [[Phantom Ganon (Ocarina of Time)|Phantom Ganon]]. Link is able to use and fire the Fairy Bow while riding [[Epona]], which comes in useful when hunting [[Big Poe]]s in [[Hyrule Field]]; The Fairy Bow is also used to participate in the [[Horseback Archery Range]] near the [[Gerudo Fortress]], as well as the [[Shooting Gallery]] in the future - in the latter case, Link can rent a generic Bow if he hasn't obtained the Fairy Bow yet.

Link can carry up to 30 Arrows in his [[Quiver]]; however, he can find two upgrades, each of which raise the capacity by +20 and +50, respectively. Link can also obtain [[Fire Arrow]]s, [[Ice Arrow]]s, and [[Light Arrow]]s to use in place of regular Arrows. These Arrows have various different effects and are mostly optional; however, the Light Arrows are required to defeat [[Ganon#Ocarina of Time|Ganondorf]].

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===

In the [[Super Smash Bros. (Series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], the Fairy Bow is used by Link as his neutral special in [[Super Smash Bros.|''Super Smash Bros.'' (N64)]]. [[Young Link]] also uses the Fairy Bow for his neutral special in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', shooting Fire Arrows instead of regular Arrows.

In ''[[SoulCalibur II]]'', Link can fire the Fairy Bow as one of his unique attacks. Holding the vertical attack button has Link take out and charge the Bow. The longer he charges for, the stronger the following shot becomes; at full charge, Link will shoot a Fire Arrow instead of a regular Arrow. Link can also angle the shot up or down. Arrows will deal 40 HP of damage and knock the opponent down, while Fire Arrows deal 60 HP and have the same effect.
