Silver Arrow

A silver arrow is a form of arrow used in the Legend of Zelda series.

The silver arrow's role in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is vital to the defeating of Ganon. To recieve the silver arrows, the player must defeat dungeons one through six of the Dark World, then going to the bomb shop (Link's house in the Light World) and buying a super bomb, carefully walking it back to the pyramid where there is a crack. The crack opens and the player must enter. Then, the player reaches a mysterious pool that asks you to throw something in. Throw in your bow and arrows, and a Faerie will change the arrows so they are made of silver, hence the term "Silver Arrow." Then, after defeating the rest of the dungeons, the player faces Ganon. At one point, he seems encased in ice. This is when the player must shoot the silver arrow at Ganon to give him a mortal blow.
