Properties | |
Royal Bows are Bows that King Rhoam used to gift to the most talented archers in Hyrule Kingdom.[1] Both their combat ability and design are noted to be impressive.[1] They are commonly found in Treasure Chests or in use by high-tier Enemies on the Tabantha Frontier and in the Hebra Mountains.
When scanned with the amiibo Rune, the following amiibos have a chance to spawn a Treasure Chest containing a Royal Bow:
- Super Smash Bros. Series Princess Zelda amiibo
- Breath of the Wild Series Link (Archer) amiibo
Due to their metallic composition, Royal Bows will conduct Electricity and attract Lightning if they are outdoors during a Thunderstorm. They will also sink if they are dropped in Water, but they can be picked up using the Magnesis Rune. Finally, they will not burn if exposed to Fire or a Scorching Climate.
Royal Bows belong to the Royal Gear equipment archetype, which is associated with the Royal Family of Hyrule.[2]
Tears of the Kingdom[]
The Royal Bow returns in Tears of the Kingdom and is mostly found at Hyrule Castle.
