Fire Arrow

Ocarina of Time
The Fire Arrow is an upgrade to Link's bow arsenal. It causes the spot it hits to burst into flame. This attribute makes it quite useful for lighting torches, dealing significant damage to ice enemies, among other things. They are particularly useful for torches that are too far away for the Din's Fire spell to reach. Fire Arrows can be obtained by going to Lake Hylia, standing in front of a stone with writing on it (above the Water Temple entrance), and shooting an arrow at the sun. The arrow will freeze in mid-air and fall to the ground on an island in the lake, where Link can pick it up, granting him the ability to use Fire Arrows.

It is important to note that the Fire Arrows can only be obtained after completing the Water Temple.

Majora's Mask
The Fire Arrows are more useful in Majora's Mask than in the first game, Ocarina of Time. They are acquired in the Snowhead Temple after defeating a Wizzrobe.

They look basically the same and deal the same amount of damage, though they are used more often to complete various puzzles, particularly in the Snowhead area.

The Wind Waker
Link can receive the Fire Arrows in The Wind Waker at the Mother and Child Isles after receiving the Ballad of the Gales. He must warp inside the rock structure located in the isle in order to meet the Fairy Queen, who will grant him the power to wield these special arrows. However, the Fairy Queen will not hand over the ability to use the Fire Arrows until Link has rescued his sister, Aryll, from the Forsaken Fortress.

The Fire Arrows are needed in the storyline when Link has to melt the ice surrounding Ice Ring Isle in order to obtain the Iron Boots.

Twilight Princess
The Fire Arrows are not obtained in the normal game flow of Twilight Princess. However, using a hacking device, it can be seen that item number fifty-three, in the list of items, is named "Fire Arrow," meaning that they were originally meant to be obtainable. The Fire Arrows are still used, but by enemies; Bulblin Archers use them against Link, which can cause problems for his wooden shields.
