Bow, Fire, Ice and Light Arrows: Ocarina of Time Remake

Where do I get the bow and each arrow type?

These are adult equipment routes for the Switch 2 remake. Obtain the Fairy Bow before trying the Fire Arrow puzzle. Elemental arrows also use magic; owning an arrow type does not remove the need to check your supplies.

How do I get the Fairy Bow?

Progress through the Forest Temple to its Stalfos fights and open the reward chest. Follow the shared illustrated steps below; if a corridor is still locked, return to the complete Forest Temple route.

1. Unlock and cross the twisted corridor; hurry into the room on the right before the ceiling hand grabs you. Descend the stairs and defeat one Stalfos, then the pair that follows. Stay out of the central poison pool and open the bow chest.

How do I solve the Fire Arrow sunrise puzzle?

Finish the Water Temple, return to the central island at Lake Hylia and face the rising sun. Shoot the sun with the bow, then swim to the small island where the Fire Arrows land. The following pictures show the existing remake route.

After the temple: Fire Arrows

Lake Hylia · Lake Hylia

1. After clearing the Water Temple, stand on the lake’s central island and face east. Wait for the rising sun to line up with the small eastern island, then shoot an arrow at the sun.
2. A scene shows Fire Arrows landing on the small island; swim over and collect them. They consume magic: without enough magic, the bow fires a normal arrow instead.

Where are the Ice Arrows?

After obtaining the Gerudo membership pass, enter the Gerudo Training Ground and complete its trials. Collect small keys to open the central maze and reach the Ice Arrow chest. This is an optional detour, separate from the fortress rescue route.

Prepare for the training route before entering: the cited remake walkthrough uses the Scarecrow’s Song and Longshot. Its detailed room-by-room route is linked below; our existing fortress pictures are not presented as Ice Arrow screenshots.

When do I receive the Light Arrows?

Return to the Temple of Time after the adult temple sequence. The story event awards Light Arrows before Ganon’s Castle. The existing final-preparation steps below connect that event to the castle entrance.

Prepare for Ganon’s Castle

Spirit Temple · Outside Ganon's Castle

1. After receiving the Spirit Medallion, return to the Temple of Time. Watch Sheik’s event to receive the Light Arrows.
2. Leave through the Market toward Ganon’s Castle. With all six medallions, approach the entrance to create the light bridge, then cross into the final dungeon.

Why is the arrow puzzle not working?

For Fire Arrows, check that the Water Temple is finished, the lake has refilled and the sun is actually rising. If an elemental shot becomes a normal arrow, check magic. If you are trying to melt red ice in the Ice Cavern, follow the bottled Blue Fire route instead.
