Duplex Bows are Bows used by skilled archers of the Yiga Clan.[1] They belong to the Yiga Clan Gear equipment archetype, which includes all Weapons used by the Yiga.[2] They can be found by only two methods. The first is to infiltrate the Yiga Clan Hideout in the Gerudo Highlands, where they are both abandoned and in use by several Yiga Footsoldiers. The second is to defeat the random Yiga Footsoldiers assassins that appear and take their Duplex Bow from them. Unlike other Bows, Duplex Bows have been engineered to fire two Arrows in order to ensure targets are stunned.[1]

Nebb, as part of the "The Weapon Connoisseur" Side Quest, will ask Link to show him a Duplex Bow.[3] If Link brings one back to Hateno Village for him, Nebb will be excited and thank Link with a Purple Rupee.[4][5]

Being made of wood, Duplex Bows will burn if they touch Fire or are exposed to a Scorching Climate. They will also float if they are dropped in Water, and they will not conduct Electricity or attract Lightning during Thunderstorms like metal Weapons do. Finally, they cannot be picked up with the Magnesis Rune.
