The Bow is [[Link]]'s, [[Young Link]]'s and [[Toon Link]]'s Neutral Special in all the Smash Bros. games that they appear in. There are differences with each Link's Hero Bow, though they all involve firing an arrow which is useful for stopping foes or camping, and holding B will greatly increase the range of the arrow fired.
The Bow is [[Link]]'s, [[Young Link]]'s and [[Toon Link]]'s Neutral Special.

'''Hero's Bow''' ('''Bow''' in ''Melee'') is [[Link (SSBB)|Link]]'s and [[Toon Link (SSBB)|Toon Link]]'s [[Standard Special Move]] attack in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. As pointed out by [[Sakurai]], it is faster than its ''Melee'' counterpart. Even when the attack isn't charged up, the arrows fly farther than in ''Melee''. Toon Link's arrows shoot at a very slight upwards angle.

Toon Link's arrows shoot at a very slight upwards angle and have a noticeable shorter range than Link's.


Link can still hold the arrow in place when it's fully charged. A fully charged arrow is strong enough to KO a person in Sudden Death.

Link can turn around in mid air, if the backwards direction is pressed right after the bow is taken out. However, if combined with the [[Quickdraw]] technique, a glitch may occur in which Link points his bow in one direction, but the arrow is fired in the other direction. This can be avoided if the bow is initiated in the air just before Link touches the ground, instead of the same instant Link touches the ground. This move is notable for being used in the [[Quickdraw]] technique.

'''Fire Bow''' is a variation of the Hero's Bow, and it is [[Young Link (SSBM)|Young Link]]'s [[Standard Special Move]] in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee|''Melee'']].  With this version, Young Link shoots flaming arrows that do not travel as far as Link's and do slightly less damage. However, it has more [[Flinch|hitstun]] than the other bows.
