In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the four Champions of Hyrule's past are gone but far from forgotten, with each of them having left their mark on Hyrule and its people. Revali of the Rito was one of these champions, and his weapon of choice can be recreated for use by Link.
In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Link must investigate disturbances in several different regions of Hyrule in order to gather information about Princess Zelda, along with the Demon King who waits in the shadows. Investigating the intense blizzard that assails the Rito Village is essential to gaining access to the Great Eagle Bow since it can only be obtained once the blizzard has ended.
Due to this quest only becoming available after the blizzard has ended, this guide may contain some spoilers regarding the aftermath of the blizzard and related plot details.
Legacy of the Rito
Once Teba has given his original Great Eagle Bow to Tulin, Link can speak with him in the Rito Village to hear his plans to construct a new bow. He then offers to make one for Link as well, as long as Link is able to provide the needed materials. These materials are a Swallow Bow, five bundles of wood, and three diamonds. Of these, the Diamonds are likely to prove the most troublesome, with the other components being relatively easy to come by in the area around the Rito Village.
Diamonds are dropped sometimes by ore deposits that have a golden glow, and players can save before breaking said ore deposits to reload and try again if they don't get their desired drops. Diamonds can also be found in chests in some Shrines, and are sold for a staggering fee of 1000 Rupees each at a shop in Goron City periodically. Players will likely have to rely on luck to get hold of the necessary diamonds, unless they have 3000 Rupees to spare and are willing to wait for the shop inventory to change if they don't currently have diamonds.
To find a Swallow Bow, players should check the Flight Range, north of Rito Village, and pick one up there. Like most items found lying around in the game, this bow will respawn whenever a Blood Moon occurs. Check this guide for further details on where to find Swallow Bows.
Wood is the easiest to obtain, so players should just grab an axe and start chopping trees into logs, and then logs into wood.
Is the Great Eagle Bow Worth It?
The Great Eagle Bow is a fantastically powerful bow, dealing 28 damage per arrow while firing three arrows at once. This allows it to dish out incredible damage at a range, without using up extra arrows or fused materials. Indeed, the bow will turn a single arrow and material into three of the resulting fused arrow when fired, allowing for some incredibly powerful combinations. Triple elemental or bomb arrows can tear through entire groups of enemies with ease.
While the Bow will eventually break, players can make use of this trick to repair weapons to circumvent that issue. A new Great Eagle Bow can be obtained from Teba by bringing him the materials a second time, so even if it breaks it can be obtained again as long as players can track down those pesky diamonds a second time.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is available for Nintendo Switch.
