The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wildis an open-world RPG with loads of different types of weapons to collect. Players can get all manner of swords, boomerangs, shields, bows, and most importantly, a variety of arrows.
Arrows are great for freezing enemies in place, lighting fires to rest or solve puzzles, blowing up walls, damaging enemies, and even shocking some monsters into dropping their weapons. There are several different types of arrows inBreath of the Wild, and players will want to make sure to collect them all, so they have whatever kind of arrow they need for the task at hand.
Purchasing Arrows in Breath of the Wild
There are many stores where players can pick up some arrows for Rupees. To get a wide selection of each kind of arrow, players will want to look for the shops in each town, Beedle, and theAkkala Ancient Tech Lab.

A number of other merchants also sell different types of arrows. These people can’t be found in towns, but will be at stables or wandering around the map.
Farming All Kinds of Arrows in Breath of the Wild
Plain Arrows
There are a number of ways to farm for plain arrows inBreath of the Wild, but the easiest takes place on theGreat Plateau.Head to the Great Plateau Tower, then look to the southwest. Just below the tower are twobokoblinswith bows; they will shoot arrows at Link without moving. Pick up the arrows as they shoot them. Then, then the arrows stop being an item Link can pick up. Fast travel back to the Tower, then repeat. This gets players hundreds of arrows per hour, so they can top off their plain arrows quickly.
Another great way to farm these is use the bow multiplier glitch to get tons of arrows. Head to the beginning of theKorok Forestand look for the first torch. Take out a multiplier bow, like a Lynel x3 or x5 bow. These bows use only one arrow, but it splits it into many arrows when in use. Shooting the arrow at this particular torch in the Korok Forest will give players more arrows than they shot at the torch in the first place.
Fire Arrows
The best way to farm fire arrows is to defeat enemies in theGerudo Desert. Look for bokoblins on the tops of arrow platforms that shoot this type of arrow, then kill them. While they won’t always drop bundles of fire arrows, they drop them more here than anywhere else.
Ice Arrows
There is really only one place to get Ice Arrows: players will need to kill enemies that carry them. Some good places to look are for bokoblin camps in the uppermostHebra Region.Lynelsare also a great way to get loads of different types of arrows, including the Ice kind.
Shock Arrows
Make a trip back to theLynelon the hill near the Zora’s Domainto get as many shock arrows as possible. These will respawn regularly, so make sure to check back often.
Bomb Arrows
There aren’t many places where players can pick up bomb arrows without paying for them. However, there is a group of bokoblins in theShadow Pass in Akkalathat regularly drop them.
Ancient Arrows
No enemies drop these rare arrows. While there are some chests inHyrule Castlethat have these, the best way to get them is tobuy them.Players can also use some of theZeldaamiibo to nab these and other kinds of arrows.
