Fire is an essential element in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and for good reason. It provides a much-needed respite from the rigors of the game and is a vital tool for cooking food, a necessary activity for surviving in Hyrule. But did you know that fire arrows are just as valuable, if not more so? In addition to providing a quick and easy way to start a fire, fire arrows are also a more powerful weapon against enemies. In this guide, we’ll teach you everything you need to know about making fire arrows in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
The Basics of Making Fire Arrows
The primary method of making fire arrows in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is through fusing. Below, we’ve outlined the steps you need to take to fuse an arrow into a fire arrow:
Step 1: Gather Supplies
Before you can make fire arrows, you need to ensure that you have the necessary supplies. First and foremost, you’ll need a bow and plenty of arrows in your inventory. If you’re running low on arrows, be sure to check out our previous guide on how to farm them.
Next, you’ll need to find a Fire Fruit, which can be found to the south of the Royal Ancient Lab Ruins (northeast part of the map). Fire Fruits can also be found in various other locations throughout Hyrule.
Step 2: Equip Your Bow
Once you have your supplies in order, equip your bow. Then, press “Up” on your D-Pad to attach an item.
Step 3: Select the Fire Fruit
Scroll through your items until you find the Fire Fruit. Select it, and it will fuse with your arrow, setting the tip ablaze.
Step 4: Use Your Fire Arrow
Congratulations, you’ve successfully made a fire arrow! You can now use it to start fires or as a more powerful weapon against enemies.
An Easier Way to Make Fire Arrows
If you’re looking for a more convenient way to make fire arrows, there is an alternative method. All you need to do is put an active arrow next to a flame source. Simply take out your arrow, approach a fire, and the tip of your arrow will be set ablaze once you get close enough.
While this method is much simpler, it’s not as consistent as the fusion method. The flame source you use can also impact the strength of the fire arrow, so keep that in mind.
Final Thoughts
Fire arrows are an incredibly valuable resource in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. They provide a quick and easy way to start fires and are a more powerful weapon against enemies. While the process of making fire arrows is not particularly easy, it’s worth the effort. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you’ll be able to make fire arrows consistently and use them to your advantage throughout the game.
