The '''Hero's Bow''' ({{ja|勇者の弓|Yūsha no Yumi}}, ''Hero's Bow'') is [[Link]]'s, [[Toon Link]]'s, and to an extent, {{SSBM|Young Link}}'s, [[neutral special move]] in all the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' games that they appear in, excluding Link's in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', where it is the [[Boomerang]] instead. There are differences with each Link's Hero Bow, though they all involve firing an arrow which is useful for stopping foes or camping, and holding the special button will greatly increase the range of the arrow fired. | |||

'''Hero's Bow''' ('''Bow''' in ''[[Melee]]'') is {{SSBB|Link}}'s and {{SSBB|Toon Link}}'s neutral special move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. As pointed out by [[Sakurai]], it is faster than its ''Melee'' counterpart. Even when the attack isn't charged up, the arrows fly farther than in ''Melee''. Toon Link's arrows shoot at a very slight upwards angle and are noticeably "floatier" than Link's; it is slightly slower traveling through the air than Link's arrows. | |||
Link can still hold the arrow in place when it's fully charged. A fully charged arrow is strong enough to KO a character in Sudden Death. A fully charged arrow also has great range, useful for stopping approaches. | |||
Link can turn around in mid air, if the backwards direction is pressed right after the bow is taken out. However, if combined with the [[Quickdraw]] technique, a glitch may occur in which Link points his bow in one direction, but the arrow is fired in the other direction. This can be avoided if the bow is initiated in the air just before Link touches the ground, instead of the same instant Link touches the ground. This move is notable for being used in the [[Quickdraw technique]]. | |||

'''Fire Bow''' is a variation of the Hero's Bow, and it is {{SSBM|Young Link}}'s neutral special move in ''[[Melee]]''. With this version, Young Link shoots flaming arrows that do not travel as far as Link's and do slightly less damage. However, it has more [[Flinch|hitstun]] than the other bows, and sets the foe on [[flame|fire]]. | |||
{{SSBM|Kirby}}'s use of the attack (after copying Young Link) is similar to a Copy Ability (specifically, Burning/Needle) in ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'', where Kirby turns into a bow and can shoot flaming arrows. In ''Melee'', he uses Young Link's Bow. | |||
Fire Bow returns in ''[[SSB4]]'' as an alternate neutral special move for {{SSB4|Toon Link}}. The arrow now releases a small toon-like burst of fire when hitting a wall or floor, resembling their appearance in ''The Wind Waker'', and the embers linger for a second, burning foes who wander into them. | |||
==Origin== | ==Origin== | ||
The bow is one of Link's main weapons in ''{{uv|The Legend of Zelda}}'' series. In ''{{s|zeldawiki|Ocarina of Time}}'' Link could use fire arrows, as well as ice and [[Light Arrow]]s. In ''Melee'', Link and Young Link's bow are based on the Fairy Bow from ''Ocarina of Time'' appearance; this is odd, as Young Link could not use the Fairy Bow or fire arrows in ''Ocarina of Time'', but could use the Hero's Bow and fire arrows in ''Majora's Mask''. In ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', Link's Hero's Bow is derived from ''{{s|zeldawiki|Twilight Princess}}'' while Toon Link's is from ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Wind Waker}}''. | |||
The bow is one of Link's main weapons in {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}} series. In '' | The Quickfire Bow is a reference to the Light Arrows, as well as the bow having a quicker firing rate in the ''Zelda'' series than in ''Smash''. | ||
