How to Find Arrows in Tears of the Kingdom

New to Tears of the Kingdom? Learn the best ways to find arrows, from defeating archers and smashing crates to buying from merchants and looting chests.

Hey there! So, you're diving into The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and running low on arrows? Don't sweat it, it happens to everyone when they're starting out. Firing a bow uses up those precious arrows, and while you can carry a good amount, stocking up can feel a bit tricky at first. The good news is, not every arrow you fire is lost forever! If you miss your shot, you can usually pick it up off the ground or out of a wall, as long as it didn't fly somewhere you can't reach. The same goes for arrows shot by enemies – if they miss you, take a look around; you might find them stuck in the terrain.

One of the most reliable, though a bit slow and potentially dangerous, ways to get arrows is by farming enemy archers. These guys are notoriously bad shots and don't even try to track their aim, so they miss a lot! When you defeat them, they'll usually drop a few arrows. You might only get one or two at a time, but if you get lucky, you could score a bundle of up to 5x Arrows!

Another straightforward method is to simply buy arrows from merchants. For instance, the merchant over at Lookout Landing sells bundles of 5x Arrows for 20 Rupees. It's probably not the most budget-friendly way to stock up, but hey, it's an option if you're in a pinch.

You can also find Arrows in chests scattered throughout Hyrule. Make sure to keep an eye out for them in Shrines and enemy camps. Just remember, chests are usually a one-time deal, so they aren't the most consistent source for arrows in the long run.

Honestly, arguably the best and most consistent source of arrows in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom comes from smashing crates. These things almost always give you one or two arrows, and sometimes you'll find stacks of five! If you stumble upon some ruins with a bunch of crates, you're practically guaranteed to walk away with a decent supply. Barrels can also contain arrows, but they're a bit more likely to give you other materials, like Apples, or sometimes, nothing at all. So, keep your eyes peeled for crates as you explore, give 'em a good whack with an axe or hammer, and you'll be well-equipped to handle any Bokoblin mob you accidentally run into!
