+'''Light Arrows''', also known as the '''Arrows of Light''', are recurring [[Item]]s in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. They are [[Arrow]]s imbued with the power of sacred light, and can be used as an alternative ammunition for the [[Bow]].
+The Light Arrows can pierce and destroy very evil itself, and are typically the strongest ammunition in games they appear in, at the cost of draining more [[Magic Power]] than the other elemental Arrows. They fundamentally differ from their classic counterpart, the [[Silver Arrow]]s, in that they do not directly damage [[Ganon]], but rather stun and weaken his defenses so that [[Link]] can attack freely.
+==Location and uses==
+===''Ocarina of Time''===
+In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', the Light Arrows are entrusted to [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] by [[Zelda (Ocarina of Time)|Princess Zelda]] in the [[Temple of Time]], after he has awakened all of the [[Seven Sages]]. They cause any [[Enemies]] killed by them to drop a [[Purple Rupee]], and are required to destroy the magical barrier blocking access to the upper levels of [[Ganon's Castle]]. They are required to defeat Ganondorf, and will stun Ganon when shot at him, making them useful in the game's climax.
-The '''Light Arrow''' is a recurring item from the [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]].
+===''Majora's Mask''===
+In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', the Light Arrows are the dungeon item of the [[Stone Tower Temple]], found after defeating the [[Garo Master]]. They are used to invert the dungeon and proceed through it by shooting the [[Red Emblem]], but also come in handy when fighting [[Twinmold]] and [[Majora's Mask]]. Light Arrows are significantly stronger than regular Arrows, being able to damage even an [[Iron Knuckle]] in full armor, and will cause anything they kill to drop 50 Rupees.
-A powerful variation on the [[Arrow]], Light Arrows are infused with light and have the ability to defeat many enemies in one hit. They are often used to combat [[Ganon]].
+===''The Wind Waker''===
+In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', the Light Arrows are the dungeon item of [[Ganon's Tower]], found after completing the [[Illusionary Room|Maze]] and then defeating [[Phantom Ganon (The Wind Waker)|Phantom Ganon]] for the second time. In this game, they resemble regular Arrows, but the entire body is pure gold.
-==''Ocarina of Time''==
+Light Arrows are the strongest weapon in the game, as they are able to instantly kill any non-boss enemy, even armored ones such as [[Darknut]]s, and are required to defeat Phantom Ganon, [[Puppet Ganon]], and Ganondorf. During the final battle, [[Tetra|Princess Zelda]] will assist [[Link (The Wind Waker)|Link]] by using the Light Arrows against Ganondorf.
-The Light Arrow is given to [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] by [[Zelda (Ocarina of Time)|Princess Zelda]] in the [[Temple of Time]] after awakening the [[Sage|Six Sages]]. It is one of the few items in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' that has the ability to stun [[Ganon]]dorf.
-==''Majora's Mask''==
+===''The Minish Cap''===
-The Light Arrow is found in the [[Stone Tower Temple]] after defeating the [[Garo Master]]. It is required to strike the Red Emblem on the Stone Tower Temple, inverting it. Though not required to defeat [[Twinmold]] and [[Majora's Mask|Majora]], the Light Arrow helps considerably.
+In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', the Light Arrows are a missable item that [[Link (The Minish Cap)|Link]] can obtain by saving [[Gregal]] from the [[Ghost]] haunting him; If Link obtains the [[Four Elements|Wind Element]] before curing Gregal, he will pass away, making the Light Arrows unobtainable. The Light Arrows deal massive damage compared to the regular Bow, making them highly useful.
-==''The Wind Waker''==
+===''Twilight Princess''===
-In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', [[Link (The Wind Waker)|Link]] obtains the Light Arrow after completing the [[Illusionary Room|Maze]] in [[Ganon's Tower]] and defeating [[Phantom Ganon]] several times. After going through many doors in the maze, Link ends up in a room that looks different from the previous ones. After Link defeats Phantom Ganon in this room, the phantom escapes and the Light Arrow appears in a treasure chest. The Light Arrow is used to defeat Phantom Ganon for good. It is also the only weapon which can inflict damage to [[Puppet Ganon]]. In the final fight with Ganondorf, Zelda shoots Ganondorf with Light Arrows to stun him to give Link a chance to attack him and eventually land the final blow.
+While [[Link (Twilight Princess)|Link]] himself does not use the Light Arrows, during the final battle against Ganon, [[Zelda (Twilight Princess)|Princess Zelda]] will summon the [[Bow of Light]] and Light Arrows to aid Link. While Link rides [[Epona]] across Hyrule Field, Zelda will stun Ganon with the Arrows, enabling Link to attack.
-==''The Minish Cap''==
+===''Spirit Tracks''===
-In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', [[Link (The Minish Cap)|Link]] must go through a sequence of events to receive the Light Arrow. Before obtaining the [[Four Elements|Wind Element]], Link can fuse [[Kinstone]]s with [[Stranger]] from [[Hyrule Town]] to cause a portal to open in South [[Hyrule Field]]. Once Link steps into the portal, he is teleported to the [[Tower of Winds (The Minish Cap)|Tower of Winds]] where the [[Wind Tribe]] now lives. Here, Link meets cursed [[Gregal]]. In order to remove the curse on Gregal, Link must inhale him with the [[Gust Jar]]. Link can exit the tower and enter it again through the front door.
+In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks]]'', the Light Arrows are the main ammunition for the Bow of Light. The Arrows are required to defeat [[Malladus]] by exorcising him from [[Zelda (Spirit Tracks)|Zelda]]; During the climax, Zelda herself uses the Bow against Malladus' beast form to assist Link.
-Finally, Gregal gives Link the Light Arrow. It is important for Link to follow the steps shown properly, as messing up on any one of them makes it impossible to receive the Light Arrow anymore. Though it has the ability to defeat many enemies very easily, it is not required to complete the game.
+===''Breath of the Wild''===
+In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', both the Bow of Light and the [[Twilight Bow]] have the ability to fire Light Arrows. The former is required to defeat [[Dark Beast Ganon (Breath of the Wild)|Dark Beast Ganon]], while the latter shoots Arrows in a perfectly straight line with unlimited range.
-==''Twilight Princess''==
+==Other appearances==
-[[Zelda (Twilight Princess)|Princess Zelda]] summons Light Arrows to use in the [[Ganondorf (Twilight Princess)|final battle against Ganondorf]]. While [[Link (Twilight Princess)|Link]] rides [[Epona]] around Hyrule Field, Zelda shoots Light Arrows to stun Ganondorf so that Link has the ability to attack Ganondorf with the [[Master Sword]].
+===''Hyrule Warriors''===
+In "[[Liberation of the Triforce]]" in [[Legend Mode]], [[Zelda (Hyrule Warriors)|Zelda]] blesses the [[Bow]], transforming it into the Bow of Light, so that the [[Hyrulean Forces]] may use it to defeat Ganon - if the player is controlling Zelda or [[Sheik]], [[Ruto]] will provide the blessing instead. They are used in-game to stun Ganon when he performs his charge, opening his Weak Point Gauge. Otherwise, they behave identically to the standard [[Sacred Bow|upgraded Bow]].
-==''Breath of the Wild''==
+Zelda, Tetra, and [[Ravio]] also use Light Arrows in several of their movesets; Zelda uses the Bow of Light in one of her attacks with the {{Light}} [[Rapier]] weapon, Tetra can summon Light Arrows for some of her attacks, and Ravio uses the Sacred Bow in his Special Attack and manual [[Focus Spirit]] finisher.
-The Light Arrows in this game can only be used during the boss battle against [[Dark Beast Ganon (Breath of the Wild)|Dark Beast Ganon]]. They are used with the [[Bow of Light]], and [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] has an infinite quantity of them during the battle.
+===''Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity''===
+{{Stub|section}}
-Link does not get to keep the Bow of Light, but he can still use Light Arrows outside of this fight, if he has the [[Twilight Bow]], which can be obtained by scanning the [[Zelda (Twilight Princess)]] [[amiibo]]. This functions identically to the Bow of Light; but has a durability, so can only be used for a set amount of time, and only a third of the power.
+===''Super Smash Bros.''===
+In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]'', the Light Arrows are the Final Smash for both [[Zelda]] and Sheik. When used, the character fires a powerful Light Arrow from the Bow of Light, dealing heavy damage and sending the opponent flying. The Light Arrow also appears in several Trophies.
 ==Trivia==
-* If Link defeats a specific enemy with the Light Arrow in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', the enemy drops a [[Rupee|Purple Rupee]], worth 50 [[Rupee]]s.
+*In the French instruction booklet for ''Ocarina of Time'', Light Arrows were mistranslated as "Flèches légères", meaning they are not heavy.
+*In ''The Wind Waker'', if Zelda accidentally shoots Link with a Light Arrow, he will be electrocuted instead of being outright killed. This is because the Light Arrows are designed to eradicate evil, and Link is a heroic individual of pure heart, therefore the Light Arrows do not work on him.
