Every enemy that attacks you with a bow and arrows will most probably drop arrows upon defeat. You can take out these enemies without using your own arrows but instead with your best melee weapons. Save your arrows and gain more by defeating such enemies wherever you see them.

The bow and arrow enemies can either be Bokoblins or Soldier/Captain Constructs in the Sky Islands. All you have to do is just engage these enemies and quickly defeat them whilst running away from the enemies using melee weapons to save your own weapon durability.

Every time you run into a group of enemies, there will most definitely be at least one or two long-range attackers using bows and arrows. This is exactly why you should always be on the lookout for such enemies whenever you’re near an enemy encampment.

Opening Up Treasure Chests

Tears of the Kingdom is filled with treasure chests, hidden around the open world or shrines or behind puzzles that you’ll need to solve using the new Ultrahand ability. Some of these chests will drop arrows for you, and the best part is that arrows are dropped in bundles additionally.

Make sure to be on the lookout for any or all chests during exploration since there is a chance of obtaining a bundle of arrows. Even if you don’t get arrows, these chests always contain useful items for your journey, so opening up chests will not result in a loss.

Destroying Crates

You have most probably come across wooden crates, which are shown in the image above. Much like the treasure chests, these are also scattered around the open world. And you can destroy these to get arrows as well, but each crate will probably drop a single arrow.

Use stone hammers to quickly break these crates. Just fuse a boulder or a rock with a rusted sword or claymore, and do not waste the durability of your main weapons to break these crates additionally.

Buying Arrows

The last method of getting arrows involves buying them from general stores found in each main area or village or from merchants found in each of the stables in Tears of the Kingdom. Buying arrows from merchants is probably the fastest method of getting arrows if you have a lot of money or Rupees.

If a merchant runs out of arrows, you can always sleep and pass the time until the arrows come back in stock which usually happens after a day passes. This is the most optimal method of getting arrows during the end game when you have a lot of money and items to sell.
