Description
An arrow created using ancient technology. To be struck with one is to be consigned to oblivion in an instant. It deals devastating damage—even against Guardians.
Common Locations
Hyrule Field
Additional Effects
The ancient arrowhead deals massive damage.

Ancient Arrows are a special type of Arrow designed specifically for defeating Guardians. It deals moderate damage to Bosses, but heavy damage to Guardians. If an Ancient Arrow strikes a Guardian directly in the eye, the Guardian is instantly defeated. If used on enemies other than Guardians and Bosses, the enemy and its Weapons will vanish. Enemies that vanish due to the Ancient Arrow will also not drop any Materials. It is the rarest type of Arrow, as only a handful of them can be found throughout Hyrule. However, Link can create them in exchange for Ancient Materials, Arrows and Rupees by using the Ancient Oven, Cherry, at the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab. They can purchased individually, in bundles of three Arrows and in bundles of five Arrows.

Ancient Arrows can cause ice blocks made from the Cryonis Rune to vanish, though the Ancient Arrow used on them will still remain. Ancient Arrows can be used to instantly dispatch Divine Beast Vah Medoh's Cannons. Ancient Arrows are one of the only means of defeating Dark Beast Ganon, alongside the Light Arrows from the Bow of Light and Twilight Bow and Sword Beams from the Master Sword.
