In *Breath of the Wild*, Arrows are commonly found and are made from sturdy Trees. They can also be found as bundles. They can be used to strike Enemies from afar with any Bow, except for the Twilight Bow and Bow of Light, which only shoot Light Arrows. Shooting an Enemy in the head with an Arrow will inflict double damage. If an Enemy is scouting on a lookout post, Link can shoot them in the head to deal 10x damage to them.[*citation needed*] Link can shoot Arrows while riding a Horse and from atop the Master Cycle Zero. Arrows will penetrate and stick to certain Objects, such as wood, and certain Materials, such as Hylian Shrooms.[*which?*] Arrows can also be lit on fire and used to spread Fire to flammable Objects, such as grass, wood, and Torches.

Arrows can be purchased from the following locations:
