Inside, after Roam dies saving Zelda, the princess uses Roam's crossbow to shoot an ordinary arrow at Ganon. As it approaches Ganon, the power of the [[Maiden]]s, Zelda, Link, and Roam, turn the arrow into the Silver Arrow,<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=It was the '''enchanted arrow'''...|book= ALttP (Ishinomori)|publisher= |page=6}}</ref> destroying the King of Thieves.
