How To Get Normal Arrow
Under The Great Plateau Tower In The Early Stage
Steps
- 1. Get found by the Bokoblins with bows.
- 2. Move away from the enemy until they cannot reach you.
- 3. Collect the arrows stuck in the ground.
- 4. Save and load when the arrows no longer stick to the ground.
- 5. Return to Step 3.
Go southwest of the Great Plateau Tower, move away from the two red Bokoblins with Bows until you are out of arrow's reach. They will continue to shoot arrows at you, so you just need to collect the arrows stuck in the ground.
Arrows Are Also Falling Around Bokoblin
These two red Bokoblins may have been practicing shooting, and there are many arrows lying around the area, you could pick them up while you are at it.

Collect From Horse-Riding Bokoblin In Kasaime Plain
There are several horse-riding Bokoblins with bows in the area between the Kasime Plain and the Tehota Marsh, east of the Ishto Soh Shrine. Since they are not very accurate in shooting, collect the arrows that they missed while using Link as a practice target.

A treasure chest containing Arrow x 10 is sunk in a small rocky area east of the Korgu Chideh Shrine on the Eventide Island. You can save and load to respawn the treasure chest and collect as much as you like.
Need To Complete The Trial
The first time you visit the Eventide Island, you will be forced to start the Stranded on Eventide, so you have to complete the Trial first.
How To Get Fire Arrows
Dropped By Lizalfos At The Abandoned North Mine
Fire Arrows drop when you defeat the Lizalfos with bows at the lookout and hideout of the Abandoned North Mine in Goron City. You can get about 20 Fire Arrows at once. Visit there whenever the Red Moon comes.
Easier With Ice Weapons
Fire-Breath Lizalfos are vulnerable to ice, so a Frostblade or similar weapon can defeat them with a single blow.

No More Arrows Available If You Own More Than 100
Arrows will disappear from stores if you own arrows around 60 to 120. No matter how many days pass, they will no longer be available in stores unless your arrows are reduced.
Tips | It has been verified that there are cases where you can find arrows on store shelves even if you have 100, and there are also cases where they stop restocking after you have more than 70. |
