| How To Get A Bow In Zora's Domain |
Option 1: The Tourist Approach (Easy, with a Side of Tourist Traps)
Let's be honest, you probably haven't exactly RSVP'd to Ruto's pool party. You're just passing through, bow drier than a Zora after a sandstorm. But hey, beggars can't be choosers, and tourists can't be picky eaters (especially when Bokoblin kebabs are on the menu).
Here's your best bet:
Tip: Every word counts — don’t skip too much.
- Hit Up the Shops: There's a shop right smack in the middle of Zora's Domain. They probably won't have the latest Hylian Hunting gear, but a basic bow and some arrows should do the trick. Just don't ask them for a broadsword – these Zoras take their pacifism very seriously (and with good reason, considering the average Moblin's hygiene standards).
Things to Consider:
- Rupees: Those Zora souvenirs ain't cheap. Be prepared to cough up some cash for that sub-par bow.
- Selection: Don't expect a smorgasbord of archery delights. You might end up with a sparkly pink bow that clashes horribly with your armor. But hey, at least you'll be the most fabulous Bokoblin slayer in Hyrule.
Option 2: The "Borrower" Approach (Moderate Difficulty, High Risk of Getting Dunked)
Feeling a bit more adventurous? Maybe a touch Robin Hood-esque? Well, there's a Silver Bow just chilling on a railing overlooking the watery depths of Zora's Domain. Tempting, right?
QuickTip: Break reading into digestible chunks.
How to "Borrow" it:
- Embrace Your Inner Fish: This bow is just out of swimming distance. Time to channel your inner Zora and take a dip. Just make sure you have the Zora armor equipped, otherwise that borrowed bow might come with a complimentary unplanned bath (with electric eels, no less).
- The Art of the "Magnesis Maneuver": Can't quite snag it with your Zora mitts? No problem! The Sheikah Slate's Magnesis rune is your best friend here. Just don't accidentally pull up a grumpy Lizalfos instead.
Things to Keep in Mind:
Tip: Look for small cues in wording.

- Sticky Fingers = Big Problems: These Zoras take pride in their hospitality, but stealing's generally frowned upon. Getting caught might mean facing the wrath of King Dorephan, and let me tell you, that's not a water fight you want to lose.
- Durability Dilemma: Borrowed bows have a nasty habit of breaking fast. Be prepared to hit the shops often (or "borrow" some more...)
Option 3: The "Eye of the Korok" Approach (High Difficulty, High Reward)
Looking for a challenge and a truly legendary bow? Well, there are rumors of a Korok who guards a special bow hidden somewhere in the Domain. Finding this little tree-sprite is no easy feat, but the reward is supposedly worth it.
The Korok Whisperer's Guide:
Tip: A slow, careful read can save re-reading later.
- Follow the Yahaha! Trail: Keep an ear out for the tell-tale giggle of a nearby Korok. These elusive forest spirits love hiding puzzles in plain sight. Solve their little challenges, and they might just lead you to the legendary bow.
- Patience is a Virtue: Finding Koroks takes time and a keen eye. Don't get discouraged if you don't stumble upon one right away. Just remember, there's always another Korok puzzle around the bend (or waterfall, as the case may be).
A Word of Warning:
These Koroks are notorious pranksters. The "legendary bow" might just turn out to be a particularly pointy stick. But hey, at least you'll have a good story to tell (and maybe a new appreciation for the humble Bokoblin bow).
So there you have it, adventurers! With a little know-how and maybe a touch of Zora hospitality (or light-fingered borrowing), you'll be a sharpshooting sensation in no time. Just remember, aim true, don't anger the Zora king
