Fire Arrows are recurring items in the Legend of Zelda series. As their name implies, Fire Arrows are arrows enchanted with a perpetuating fire that damages enemies. In games not featuring fire arrows, flaming arrows can be created by shooting an arrow through a Torch.

[edit] Appearances
[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Fire Arrows are one of three special arrow types Link can obtain for the Fairy Bow. One Fire Arrow deducts magic from Link's Magic Meter. When a Fire Arrow hits its target, it causes the spot it hits to burst into flames. This attribute makes it quite useful for lighting torches, melting ice, as well as dealing significant damage to enemies. They are particularly useful in case Link is in an area where Din's Fire cannot reach the torches in a room. In Ocarina of Time, the Fire Arrows are obtained at Lake Hylia by shooting a regular arrow at the sun as it rises; the Fire Arrows appear on a pillar near the hill housing the Water Temple. Link must then swim to the island with two pillars or summon Pierre with the Scarecrow's Song to reach the island and use the Longshot on his body (this makes it possible to get the Fire Arrows before completing the Water Temple).
[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Fire Arrows are similar both in appearance and function to those from Ocarina of Time. One of the special arrow types Link can obtain for the Hero's Bow, Fire Arrows are found in the Snowhead Temple after the defeat of the mini-boss Wizzrobe, and are needed to begin the battle with the dungeon's boss, Goht.
[edit] The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Link receives both the Fire and Ice Arrows for his Hero's Bow from the Queen of Fairies residing in the fountain at the center of the Mother & Child Island. After Link has learned the "Ballad of Gales" and Tetra's true identity, being Princess Zelda, is revealed, Link can travel on a cyclone to the Mother & Child Island, where the Queen of Fairies gifts him with Fire and Ice Arrows. The Fire Arrows are used to gain access to Ice Ring Island, where the Iron Boots are found. Fire Arrows can also be used to easily light torches or burn away wooden barriers, and are powerful even against tougher enemies. Winged Mothulas can be defeated with a single Fire Arrow. Additionally, enemies knocked back by a Fire Arrow shot (such as Darknuts once their armor straps have been cut) will set other enemies on fire if they come into contact with them while falling backwards.
[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Fire Arrows do not turn up as usable items for Link in Twilight Princess, but Link encounters Bulblins that shoot fire arrows as a weapon.
