In {{OoT}}, the Bow is called the '''Fairy Bow'''.<ref>{{Cite|You found the Fairy Bow!

As an item obtained when Link is an adult, it cannot be used in the past as a child. As in previous games, the Bow is used to snipe enemies as well as objects such as switches, especially {{Plural|OoT3D|Eyeball Switch|link}}. Most notably, the Bow is used to engage the first three [[Poe Sisters]] in combat by firing Arrows at their portraits, although they do not actually require the Bow to be defeated. The Bow can also be used to fight [[Phantom Ganon]], although it is not necessarily required either. The Bow becomes necessary to fight Ganon at his [[Ganon's Castle|castle]] by shooting [[Light Arrow]]s at him when he is stunned.

{{OoT|-}} introduces horseback archery, in which Link can ride [[Epona]] and fire Arrows while galloping along. This method of archery is used to great extent in hunting [[Big Poe]]s in [[Hyrule Field]], which can only be attacked by shooting Arrows at them while riding Epona, as they will vanish if Link attempts to approach them himself. Link must also ride Epona to participate in the [[Horseback Archery Range]] near the [[Gerudo Fortress]], where Link must shoot at targets while Epona automatically gallops along the track.

In {{FSA}}, the Bow appears as a temporary item in certain Stages, similarly to {{FS|-}}. It is most often used to solve certain puzzles, but can also be used to attack enemies from afar. The {{Plural|FSA|Links|link}} can also upgrade their Bow by presenting it to a [[Great Fairy]] at her fountain, which she will raise to Level 2 - a stage at which not only gains the power to charge Arrows, but also can shoot an array of three Arrows at a time, instead of the standard one.<ref>{{Cite manual|quote= Tap A Button to fire three rapid shots.

In {{PH}}, the Bow is found in the [[Temple of Courage]]. The Bow is used differently in this installment, as the stylus and touch screen are dominantly used during all aspects of gameplay. Unlike the manual aiming and shooting of the Bow as seen in previous titles, the Bow is shot simply by tapping the touch screen with the stylus in the direction of a target or at the target itself. A line may also be drawn from Link to the target to better aim and shoot an Arrow; even if the line does not reach the target in question, Link's vision range will increase, revealing targets previously concealed by the borders of the normal game screen. As in previous games, the Bow is used mainly to snipe enemies and far off objects, especially {{Plural|PH|Eyeball Switch|link}}. [[Arrow Orb]]s are used to redirect Arrows to whichever direction they are pointing at, by shooting an Arrow into the orb. These Orbs allow Link to strike objects that are obscured at an angle.

In {{ST}}, the Bow is obtained at the [[Fire Temple]]. The Bow uses the same control scheme as in {{PH|-}}, by using the stylus and touch screen to aim and fire an Arrow. Arrow Orbs return and are again used to redirect Arrows to other directions.

An upgrade to the Bow, called the [[Bow of Light]], is obtained at the [[Sand Temple]] after the defeat of [[Skeldritch]]. The Bow is able to charge its Arrows and fire bolts of sacred light, producing a stronger attack. It was once used by the [[Spirits of Good]] against the Demon King [[Malladus]], and Link and Zelda are urged to find it as a means of driving his spirit from Zelda's body.<ref>{{Cite|In the battle between the Demon King and the spirits, there was a weapon called the Bow of Light...

After reconnecting her spirit with her body, Zelda takes the Bow of Light and uses it to stun Malladus in [[Cole]]'s body, allowing Link to strike him.

In {{TFH}}, the {{Term|TFH|Bow}} appears in certain [[Levels in Tri Force Heroes|Levels]] as an item the {{Plural|TFH|Links|link}} can use for the duration of that Level, similarly to those in {{FS|-}} and {{FSA|-}}. The {{Term|TFH|Bow}} is used identically to the one from {{ALBW|-}}, as it uses Stamina instead of actual ammunition to launch {{Plural|TFH|Arrow}}. The {{Term|TFH|Bow}} is often used in solving puzzles; some unique puzzles require the {{Plural|TFH|Links}} to form a {{Term|TFH|Totem|link}} so that the top {{Term|TFH|Link}} can fire an {{Term|TFH|Arrow}} at a target. This can also be used as a strategy in fighting enemies who are stacked on top of each other. The {{Term|TFH|Kokiri Clothes|link}} can be worn to upgrade the wearer's {{Term|TFH|Bow}}, allowing it to shoot an array of three {{Plural|TFH|Arrow}} at once.

{{Plural|BotW|Bow}} are no longer a singular item in {{BotW}}, but an entire class of weapons with varying stats that {{Term|BotW|Link|link}} can equip. As such, {{Plural|BotW|Bow}} can be found much earlier and more easily than in previous games. However, {{Plural|BotW|Bow}} have a {{Term|BotW|Durability|link}} system and will break after repeated uses. To counteract this, several {{Plural|BotW|Bow}} can be carried and switched between as needed. Different types of {{Plural|BotW|Arrow|link}}, such as {{Plural|BotW|Fire Arrow|link}}, can also be obtained and used with {{Term|BotW|Link}}'s currently equipped {{Term|BotW|Bow}}.

Some bows, like the [[Lynel Bow]] and [[Forest Dweller's Bow]], shoot multiple arrows. Most shoot three arrows, although the [[Duplex Bow]] shoots two and a randomly occurring item bonus allows some bows to shoot five arrows. Multiple-shot bows do not consume multiple arrows. Two additional types of bow, the [[Phrenic Bow]] and the [[Golden Bow]], allow the player to zoom in and gain a clearer view of the area they are aiming at when the bow is used. This effect also increases the range of the bow's shots, allowing Link to hit targets that are further away then would otherwise be possible.

Link is only seen using it once in the "[[Underworld Connections]]" episode, where he fires an Arrow tied to a rope to walk to the princess's alcove.

In {{SCII}}, Link can take out the Fairy Bow by simultaneously pressing the horizontal attack button and the vertical attack button. By holding the vertical attack button, he will charge his Bow. The more time that the Bow is charged, the more powerful the attack becomes. A fully charged Bow will allow Link to release a Fire Arrow instead of a normal Arrow. By tilting the control stick upwards or downwards, Link can change the direction that the Arrow will take, making the Bow a high, mid, and low attack. A normal Arrow will deal at least 40 HP worth of damage, while a Fire Arrow will deal a maximum of 60 HP damage. A hit from a Bow's Arrow, whether charged or not, will cause Link's opponent to fall to the ground.

The Bow appears as an item obtained in "[[The Sorceress of the Woods]]" Scenario in {{HW}}. The Bow is used to fire Arrows that inflict minor damage, but can also be used to stun or instantly kill certain enemies. The Bow can temporarily be upgraded to fire Light Arrows by picking up its power-up in battles, increasing its damage and area of effect for its duration. Its duration can be extended by crafting [[Hawkeye]] [[Badge]]s for Warriors. It is the only weapon that can kill [[Deku Baba]]s, which first appear in "The Sorceress of the Woods", as they emit a poisonous aura that they hide in whenever another attack is directed towards them, thus requiring the use of the Bow. The Bow is also used to stun [[Gohma]] when it shows its weak spot during the boss battles against it.
