How do fire arrows work?

Answer 1

Fire arrows are used to quickly burn up enemies, but are also important towards the end of the game. You mainly use them to light unlit torches in the Fire Temple, and during the "trials" in the castle during the last couple hours of the game.

On the Nintendo 3DS, the controls are: Go to "Items". Tap your bow, then assign it to a button, I, X,Y, or II, then double tap it to select "fire arrows." Press the assigned button, then aim and shoot at something flammable by pressing the button again.

Controls for the original game: Press START, go to ITEMS, select your bow and arrow, assign it to DOWN, LEFT, or RIGHT, then select FIRE ARROWS. Hit START, to return to the game, and then tap the assigned button, then aim with the middle joystick and hit the assigned button to fire.

If you are using another version of the game, such as the Wii Virtual Console edition, or an emulation, please consult the manual.

To open the manual for the Wii edition, press the HOME button while your game is running and hit "Manual."
