Bouncing Arrows appear similarly to normal arrows that would be fired from a bow. Unlike normal arrows, Bouncing Arrows can bounce off walls or other non-moving surfaces instead of impacting them. Such an arrow would bounce off the wall at an angle equal to the angle at which it hit the wall. That is, if it hits at a wide angle, it bounces off at a wide angle; or if it hits straight into the wall, it will bounce right back in the direction it came. The fired arrow can bounce up to three times, but none of the bounces slow it down significantly. This treasure provides an effectively infinite supply of these arrows.

Instead of arrows, the user may substitute another type of ammunition when acquiring this treasure, such as "Bouncing Darts" to be thrown, or "Bouncing Pellets" to be fired from a slingshot.

Trivia

  • A Weaponsmith can treat a Bouncing Arrows as a material for the purpose of combining its effects with other materials or treasures into one ammunition supply. For determining how many materials the Weaponsmith can craft into one item, treat this item as though it had a set cost of 15 rupees.
  • The Seed Shooter has a similar ability to bounce certain projectiles off walls, but cannot fire arrows.
  • The Bouncing Arrows treasure is an original creation by one of Hyrule Castle's members. Its concept is credited to Squishy.
