To use the bow and arrows, you must find both. Each time you shoot an arrow you lose one rupee. Some enemies can only be beaten by using arrows. You can buy the wooden arrows, but the silver arrows are not for sale.

Buy it once and you can use it for good, but each arrow costs 1 Rupee. It is as strong as the White Sword.

You can't use them without the bow. Each arrow you shoot costs Rupees. In other words, "if the money runs out..." Wooden arrows are sold in caves.

A weapon you can't do without for defeating enemies at a distance. Some enemies can only be beaten with arrows, so be sure to get it. But you can't attack unless you have both the Bow and the arrows, so be careful. Also note that every arrow you shoot lowers your Rupee count!
