When used, Zelda/Sheik draws a large bow and sets an arrow. During this time, any characters in her line of sight will flinch. A second later, the Light Arrow is released, dealing significant damage and likely KO'ing the struck characters, although its power decreases drastically for every target caught in the blow. | |||
This move covers a large distance from the user's line-of-sight, ignoring any terrain in the way. In ''Brawl'', it seems to cover infinite distance, but in ''SSB4'', it has a limited range. There are two hits involved in the move: a weak, stun hit, and the main hit which follows it. | This move covers a large distance from the user's line-of-sight, ignoring any terrain in the way.

In ''Brawl'', opponents that are close together when hit by this move may collide with each other, potentially preventing them from being KO'ed. Thus, spacing of opponents is very important when using the Light Arrow. This is even more important in Sheik's version, where opponents are launched at a very low angle. | In ''Brawl'', opponents that are close together when hit by this move may collide with each other, potentially preventing them from being KO'ed.

In conjunction with the [[Master Sword]], Light Arrows have been used in {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}} series as a weapon used to stun [[Ganondorf|Ganon/Ganondorf]], leaving him vulnerable to the [[Master Sword]]. The concept for them probably comes from the original NES ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', in which [[Link]] used a similar weapon called the {{s|zeldawiki|Silver Arrow}} to defeat Ganon. Link was first able to wield the Light Arrows in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'', where he utilized them in the penultimate showdown with Ganondorf. | |||
The first incarnation of Zelda to use Light Arrows was in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker}}'', wielding [[Toon Link|Link]]'s [[Hero's Bow]] and Light Arrows in the final battle against Ganondorf. In ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess}}'', Zelda is granted the Light Arrows by the {{s|zeldawiki|Spirits of Light}} and once again uses them in the final battle against Ganondorf. The bow and Light Arrows used in ''Smash Bros.'' are based on the ''Twilight Princess'' design. | |||

==Trivia== | |||
*Light Arrow is one of the only Final Smashes shared by multiple characters, along with [[Landmaster]], [[Triforce Slash]], [[Critical Hit]], and [[PK Starstorm]]. | |||
**[[Dark Pit Staff]] is very similar to this move, and is often considered a clone of Light Arrow due to its similar properties (down to the zooming in on hit). | |||
