Well, as far as I can tell, the Silver Arrows can be used to actually kill Ganon. The Light Arrows have only ever been used to subdue him.

Thanks for you time and feel free to use this topic for all things Zelda related.

- You stupid dog.

Probably gameplay reasons. Silver Arrows were introduced as the way to kill Ganon because it seemed cool to have to bring down his defenses with your sword before killing him for real. Silver Arrows were probably used because they're traditional weapons in almost all fantasy settings for killing evil creatures.

The Light Arrows were introduced with Ocarina of Time, which is exactly the same game where the idea of finishing off Ganondorf with the Master Sword was introduced, because shooting things with arrows isn't as cool as just stabbing them in the face and/or chest. Light Arrows, functionally speaking, are there to fill the niche that the more emphasized Master Sword no longer fills.

Hello ZG

I can only assume you uninstalled AIM and then set the corporate headquarters on fire

How have you been enjoying Spirit Tracks

ZeldaGirl · 01-02-2010, 12:03 PM

Still have AIM, but no time to really get on. Well, that and I forget.

I don't actually have it yet!

Been working on other things.

Wyborn · 01-02-2010, 12:08 PM

You should get it

It's super

Easily the best characterization of Zelda ever. She's my new favorite sidekick in the whole series. Or any series, I guess. Look, she rules

Edit: Learn more if you ever GET ON AIM

Rainbow Dash · 01-02-2010, 12:38 PM

but wait there's more

ZeldaGirl · 01-02-2010, 02:01 PM

^^wah wah fine, i'm on

***CaptHayfever*** · 01-02-2010, 09:06 PM

Occasionally I catch ZG logging on for a few seconds, just long enough for no one to say anything of substance.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

ZeldaGirl · 01-02-2010, 11:13 PM

^That's me accidentally pressing the iChat button instead of the button I was trying to press, realizing I don't have time to talk, and logging off.

**Valigarmander** · 01-02-2010, 11:54 PM

No, she's just checking to see if anyone that she wants to talk to is online.

I don't think she likes you, Capt.

I just say they changed it to light because silver had too many syllables.

Also, posting in a Wyborn thread.

***Cosmonautical*** · 01-09-2010, 05:18 AM

^Nada, they wanted to make them use up your magic as an extra gameplay device. Silver Arrows are a holy artifact. Light arrows are an enchantment.
