The Legend of Zelda - Breath of the Wild - arrows

As any Legend of Zelda player knows, Link has acquired a variety of arrows with each game. Common ones across the various games include fire, light, and ice arrows. Breath of the Wild will feature these as well, along with an electric arrow, one with an energized tip, and who knows how many more.

Overwatch’s Hanzo is no stranger to arrows, either. Besides just the regular one that he uses to headshot enemies like a champ, he also has a sonic arrow that marks the location of enemies, and a scatter arrow that splits off and ricochets off walls. His arrow is also used to activate his Dragonstrike Ultimate, summoning a giant blue dragon to take out any enemies unfortunate enough to be in its path.

Horizon Zero Dawn gives Aloy multiple arrow types, too. She uses their special traits — like explosive or tearing — to exploit certain robot weaknesses.  There are other arrow types in the game for her to fight the machines with, but we won’t spoil for them for you.

Winner: Hanzo

When you have an arrow that unleashes a giant blue dragon, there’s not really anything else that can compare.
