The Ancient Bow is an item from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It is a high-tech bow crafted with the ancient Sheikah technology. It was developed and designed by Robbie through his Anti-Calamity armaments research. Link can have the Ancient Oven Cherry craft one at the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab after relighting thelab's Furnace during the Side Quest "Robbie's Research". The Ancient bow is a high damage bow, with an important range and durability. The bow's damage can further be augmented with the "Ancient Armor" set's bonus, for a whopping 80% damage bonus, or roughly 79 damage when applied to this bow. The bow also gets a 30% damage bonus when fighting Guardians, as with all weapons made with ancient Sheikah technology.
