The Wooden Bow has a base power of 4, and can often be found on the ground, or in the hands of [[Stalkoblin]]'s or Red [[Bokoblin]]s on the [[Great Plateau]]. The design is minimalist with one simple curved tree branch, with a piece of wire to function as the bow string. Due to the construction being mainly wooden, this weapon can catch fire. | |||

Bow of Light
- Main article: Bow of Light
Zelda gives this bow to Link to finish off Ganon. It does a massive 90 damage, even though it is only used in this boss fight. The Twilight Bow is very similar, and can be used outside of the boss battle.

Wooden Bow
- Main article: Wooden Bow
The Wooden Bow has a base power of 4, and can often be found on the ground, or in the hands of Stalkoblin's or Red Bokoblins on the Great Plateau.

With a strength of just 4, the Wooden Bow, alongside the Boko Bow are the weakest Bows in the game. With low durability as well as low range, there is very little reason to use the Wooden Bow unless it is the only option available. The Wooden Bow quickly becomes obsolete once Link leaves the Great Plateau and is able to acquire more powerful bows that have more abilities.

Link can also acquire Soldier's Bows in treasure chests near a Bokoblin camp north of the Proxim Bridge and in an underwater treasure chest in the South Nabi Lake, just northwest of the Dueling Peaks Tower. Another Soldier's Bow will continuously spawn at the Tabantha Bridge Stable, on top of tarp that covers some crates.
With the power of 14 and decent durability, the Soldier's Bow is a quality Bow early in the game, and a much better option than the Wooden Bow, Boko Bow, and Traveler's Bow, that Link acquires on the Great Plateau.
