    FYI, Zonaite Bow Locations. There's 10 chests in the whole game that have them, 8/10 are in 8/9 Labrinths - such as the Eastern-most chest in the North Lomei Labrinth and the northern-most chest in the Lomei Labrinth Island. But you can purchase them after completing the Spirit Temple for Zonaite.
    Note: I mention the statue of the Eighth Heroine Room for weapons. This room may havew special coding that does not allow it to re-stock based on random respawn intervals OR blood moons. Looking into this...

Other than that you don't really need great weapons. Just kill boss enemies and fuse the items to the bad weapons to make them decent.

    Concerning the "no frills" bows, something to keep in mind is that the construct bows and the "bone" bows are not made of metal, and therefore are safe to wear/use in a lightning storm. So MAYBE keep a mighty construct bow in your inventory to use on a "rainy day", assuming you don't have lightning immunity.

    I'm glad you gave a special note to the Zonaite bow. It's one of my personal favorite weapons in the game and I feel it's very underrated. Sure, the damage may not be the highest, but that feeling of nailing a headshot on an unsuspecting enemy half a mile away is one of the most satisfying moments I've experienced in this game. Also, try fusing a keese wing to an arrow with the Zonaite bow. No joke, you can hit a target from the opposite side of a canyon with that combo. That kind of range may not be very practical, but I still think it's pretty cool nonetheless.

      Gems are actually the highest damage elemental fusion materials to arrows, they are also the highest damage arrow attachment possible.
      It's because of the damage of their elemental effect. All elemental effect items do 20 elemental damage(except chuchu jellies which do 10 and rubies/sapphires/topaz/opals).. The elemental gemstones do 80 elemental damage, and have the same radius as dragon parts/gleeok horns. Which makes them the highest possible damage attachment, given it's almost purely elemental damage though.. An example, you get 30(base dmg)+20(elemental dmg) from a gleeok horn totaling only 50. Or 40x1.8(72 damage) for a gibdo bone infused arrow and bone proficiency.. You get 81 from an elemental gemstone, 80 elemental effect damage +1 from the gemstone it'self. Opals are only 10 damage same as Chuchu jellies for those curious, but have the same explosion radius(x16) as dragon parts/other gems/gleeok horns.
      There's a datamine spreadsheet that has all this info listed. If you check it out you'll notice that Ruby, Topaz, and Sapphires are listed as base field attack power 80. Which is the damage their elemental explosion "field"(radius) does. Far higher than any other elemental part :).

      ​@@lollyd3828 unfortunately, gibdo bone infused arrows do not benefit from bone proficiency. Bone proficiency only influences weapon damages, not projectile ones. Since you can't infuse the bow, only arrows, you need an actual bone bow to exploit the proficiency, but even then it will only effect the weapon component of the damage, not the arrow one.

      A pretty simple tl;dr guide to elemental properties is anything that has fire ice electric or similar in the name will give that effect, many if not all items that have elemental effects also include it in the description of the item.
      When using elemental melee weapons the elemental properties will last for 4 attacks in succession, after which they require a short cooldown of you not attacking to recharge. The only exception to this is gleeok horns, which don’t need to recharge EVER. Also gems will turn the weapon into a magic rod like note’s wizrobe rods, but using the magic wand/staff/scepter as the base will make the upgraded rods(blizzard,meteor,thunderstorm) star fragments can also be used for rods to illuminate dark areas

    You can also get a Gerudo bow in Gerudo town in the barracks/training area. Back right corner. It respawns. I think you need to be at least as far as the siege in town for it to appear, but every step after that it's there.

    Thanks Austin! When I need bows I just go kill some silver lynels close to shrines and lightroots so it takes no more then 5 minutes (with the right equipment/tactics) to get at least 3/4 savage lynel bows, I still have my inventory full of bows but by the time I have used 3/4 of them a bloodmoon has already occured again. Obviously my Lynels have already scaled up but I just go to the shrines like Ishokin or Kurakat and Lightroots like Uihcoke, Muihcoro and U-u-ujoj. After that I just go to my marked Octorocs close to the shrines in Eldin (2 right in front of the Momosik shrine to the right side of the mountain and 6 above the Sibajitak Shrine (north side) to do the modifiers for 5-shot. I also keep a great eagle bow for if I am in the middle of a fight with a bow and a lightning storm occurs just as I need to shoot something. It is honestly way more fun then just duping your weapons and I will be sure to also get a zonaite bow from now on to keep in my backpocket if I need the distance for Koroks etc.

    There's a gerudo bow in gerudo town, right next to the training soldiers, very close to the shrine. I love the gerudo bow for sniping enemy lookouts - Any enemy with a bow in an enemy camp, you can one-shot if you hit them in the head, regardless of how powerful they are, or how wimpy your bow is.

    Duplex bow can be pretty handy for clearing a way through rock walls in caves. I found that two bomb shots one after the other seems to have more effect than 3 at the same time from say a lynel bow, especially when up against the tougher rocks that require a couple of blasts.

    would like to add that gerudo bows respawn regularly at the guards training area in gerudo town and also in a small cave immediately between the yiga clan hideout and the birida lookout, it was a go to place in botw for respawning gerudo items for me and checked very early on in totk to see if it was still there and the gerudo bow and radiant shield are found there, you do have to ultrahand rocks out of the entry way but it’s really easy to get to from the gerudo highlands tower

    Something very important you missed about multishot bow is how they scale with gibdo parts : 32+40 is 72 per arrow, so 360 by a single shot. Multishot bow also works very well with eyes since you have 5 auto target arrows, able to flinch every head of a gleeok in a single shot. There is also fuse with wings which is very poweful and basically make any long range bow useless.

    The Demon Bow: I stored several of them fused to weapons or shields and put them on pedestals in my house, so when i want one i can unfuse in Tarrey town. The great eagle bow is too much of a hassle to repair, so it has a nice pedestal to its own and will likely stay there.
    One thing that might be more emphasized is, what the bows can be modified to with an octoroc, i.e. the x3 bow could still get a +10 damage modifier (but that's a hassle to get), or e.g. a durability up modifier. Another great advantage is obviously that it can be repaired easily with an octorok.
    My preferred bows: 5 shot Savage for tough fights, Zoanite for default (too lazy to swap), Royal for spare, a Dusk for some occasions, and a Great Eagle for display in my house. Zoanite and Royal i have one with +dmg (8-10) and one with + durability. I regularly repair them with octorocs, that's less of a hassle than cruising around to restock, as the octorocs allow me to repair multiple weapons just wandering around Death Mountain, and i can get the modifier i want.
