Bow and Arrows

The Bow is an item that can be bought in the Store for the sum of 980 rupees. It appears after the player has bought the Shovel (citation needed).

It is one of the better weapons in the game, although oddly it can only be obtained after the player already has the Magic Rod, which is much better. This makes the Bow all but worthless, particularly considering the hefty price.

There are a total of 999 rupees in Link's Awakening, which is slightly more than enough to buy the Bow and nothing else. However, since the player has to buy the Shovel before it will appear, this item can only be obtained by stealing.
