This move penetrates opponents' [[shield]]s. Unusually for ''Brawl'', this Final Smash also ignores [[Armor|super armor]], and can therefore successfully hit opponents that are in super armor frames. This is likely due to the paralyzing effect of the first hit, which overrides the super armor and allows the main hit to connect with full power. | This move penetrates opponents' [[shield]]s.

While the basic move is the same whether Zelda or Sheik uses it, the properties of the arrow are slightly different for each of them. The primary difference is that Zelda's launches at the [[Sakurai angle]] (and thus usually about 45 degrees), while Sheik's launches at a [[semi-spike]] angle (10 degrees in ''Brawl'' and 20 degrees in ''SSB4''). Zelda's Light Arrow also does less damage but more knockback than Sheik's Light Arrow; in ''Brawl'', Zelda's has enough knockback to [[one-hit KO]] the first target at 0% damage, though it is barely in the OHKO threshold and can be DI'ed. In ''SSB4'', Zelda's Light Arrow, while still powerful, can no longer OHKO. In both games, Sheik's Light Arrow can be very powerful against fighters with poor recoveries due to its semi-spike angle, especially if used on recovering opponents. | While the basic move is the same whether Zelda or Sheik uses it, the properties of the arrow are slightly different for each of them.

If the [[Reflector]] is used on this Final Smash, this Final Smash (like all other Final Smashes) does not work. | ||
In ''Brawl'', opponents that are close together when hit by this move may collide with each other, potentially preventing them from being KO'd. 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'd.
