The Fairy Bow is an item from Ocarina of Time. It is a variant of the Bow, with the same uses.
Ocarina of Time
In Ocarina of Time, the Fairy Bow is the dungeon item of the Forest Temple. It can only be used by Adult Link; he can use it to fire arrows, aiming in a first-person view, to snipe faraway enemies or switches. It is used to engage the Poe Sisters by firing arrows to dislodge their paintings, and can also be used when fighting Phantom Ganon. Link is able to use and fire the Fairy Bow while riding Epona, which comes in useful when hunting Big Poes 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 Arrows, Ice Arrows, and Light Arrows 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 Ganondorf.

Super Smash Bros. Series
In the Super Smash Bros. series, the Fairy Bow is used by Link as his neutral special in 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.
SoulCalibur II
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.
