'''Light Arrows''', also known as the '''Arrows of Light''', are recurring [[Item|Items]] in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. They are [[Arrow|Arrows]] 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|Silver Arrows]], in that they do not directly damage [[Ganon]], but rather stun and weaken his defenses so that [[Link]] can attack freely. | |||

The Light Arrows deal massive damage compared to the regular Bow, making them highly useful. | ||
===''Twilight Princess''=== | |||
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.

===''Spirit Tracks''=== | |||
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks]]'', the Light Arrows are the main ammunition for the Bow of Light.

===''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. | |||
==Other appearances== | |||
===''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]]. | |||
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. | |||

===''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== | ==Trivia== | ||
* | *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. | |||
