Found in dungeons, an arrow orb's function is to redirect an [[arrow]] towards a determined direction when Link hits it with said arrow. The direction of the shot depends on the position of the curved golden pointer that surrounds the orb. When hit with a [[sword]], [[boomerang]] or [[whip]], the orb moves the pointer clockwise to a new direction. Sometimes this can be done to hit switches that unveil secret [[Treasure Chest|Treasure Chests]]s.


When an Arrow Orb is in use, the game shows the shot arrow's motion through a cutscene; this is done so that one can see what the arrow will hit in the end. It is possible to guide a shot arrow with multiple Arrow Orbs and, in ''Spirit Tracks'', they can be carried by either Link or [[Princess Zelda]] to customize a new shot trajectory. This is important to solve otherwise impossible puzzles.

Arrow Aimers are recurring Objects in The Legend of Zelda series.[1] Arrow Aimers go unnamed in Phantom Hourglass.

Location and Uses

Phantom Hourglass

Arrow Aimers are used to redirect Arrows when they are struck by them. The direction of the shot depends on the position of the curved golden pointer that surrounds the Arrow Aimer. Arrow Aimers can be struck with a Sword or the Boomerang to rotate their direction clockwise. When an Arrow Aimer is in use, the camera follows the position of the Arrow, showing its path through the Arrow Aimer. Multiple Arrow Aimers can be used to guide a single Arrow through a room.

Arrow Aimers can be found in the Temple of Courage and inside Mutoh's Temple.

Spirit Tracks

As with Arrow Aimers in Phantom Hourglass, Arrow Aimer can be used to carry and redirect Arrows across distances. When struck with a Sword, the Boomerang, or the Whip, Arrow Aimers will rotate clockwise and change the direction that Arrows shot through them go. Both Link and Phantom Zelda can carry Arrow Aimers, serving as mobile points to redirect loose Arrows.

Arrow Aimers can be found in the Fire Temple and the Tower of Spirits.
