Properties | |
The Great Eagle Bow is the Bow that the Rito Champion Revali once used before he was defeated by Windblight Ganon.[1] This Bow belongs to the Rito Gear equipment archetype.[3] It is said that Revali could fire Arrows from this Bow with the speed of a gale, making him adept at aerial combat.[1] Teba claims that it is too heavy for the average Rito to wield, as they would end up losing all their speed.[4] However, he states that Revali's strength and speed allowed him to counter the detriments of the Weapon.[5]
Kaneli will gift Link the Great Eagle Bow in Rito Village as a reward for calming Divine Beast Vah Medoh.[6] This is done at the suggestion of Teba, who was impressed by how Link handled his own Bow against the Divine Beast.[7] It can be retrieved from inside a Treasure Chest in Kaneli's House.
If the Great Eagle Bow breaks or becomes irreversibly lost, Harth can make a new Great Eagle Bow for Link if he provides a Swallow Bow, five bundles of Wood, and a Diamond.[8] If it was dropped somewhere but can still be reobtained, Harth will instead recommend trying to find it first, as it is expensive to make.[9]
The Great Eagle Bow is a powerful Bow for aerial combat that can fire three Arrows at once, similar to the Lynel Bow and its counterparts. It also contains the Quick Draw upgrade as a hidden feature. Being made of wood, it will burn if it touches Fire or is equipped in a Scorching Climate. It will also float if dropped in Water, and it will not attract Lightning during Thunderstorms or conduct Electricity. Finally, the Great Eagle Bow cannot be picked up with the Magnesis Rune.
Other Appearances[]
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity[]
The Great Eagle Bow is wielded by the Rito Champion, Revali. He wields it in several cutscenes. For example, Revali uses the Great Eagle Bow against Link during their first encounter. He briefly aimed it at a surge of Monster on the way back to Hyrule Castle. Revali also used it to defend himself against Windblight Ganon, which he later shot Bomb Arrows. Finally, he opened fire with it to protect Teba from a group of Guardians.
