Properties
Bow 44

The Ancient Bow is obtained from Cherry in the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab. It can be bought for 1,000 Rupees, 15 Ancient Springs, 10 Ancient Gears, and one Giant Ancient Core. It can only be purchased after Link has activated the Furnace with Blue Flame.

The Ancient Bow has high power and very high durability, but its most notable feature is its immense range. The Ancient Bow fires Arrows in a straight line for quite some distance before the Arrows become affected by gravity, making it ideal for hitting far-off targets.

Like other Ancient and Guardian weapons, when Link is not holding the Bow it will fold into a more compact shape on his back.

Other Appearances
