The Ice Arrows aren't a necessary weapon in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, but they sure are nice to have.
This bow is completely optional in Ocarina of Time and isn't required to complete the game. However, if you're a completionist or someone who simply likes the aesthetic, then it's worth finding the Ice Arrows. And hey, they deal double damage to freezable enemies, so having them in your arsenal isn't useless.
Want it? Here's how to get them.
How to Get Ice Arrows in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake
To get Ice Arrows, you'll need to complete everything up to the Water Temple, then complete the Gerudo Fortress so you can get the Gerudo Pass. The Ice Arrows can be found in the Gerudo Proving Grounds, in the deepest cell.
This mini-dungeon has nine small keys hidden in the area. You'll need at least seven small keys to unlock the cell with the Ice Arrows. Here's a tip: after unlocking the first door on the left side of the central room, use the Lens of Truth to find an opening in the ceiling. An extra key is inside, which is helpful if you're struggling to find your final key.

Once you have enough keys, return to the starting room and unlock the doors on the left side leading to the central cell. With the keys, open the large treasure chest in the middle of the chamber to claim the Ice Arrows.
To equip the Ice Arrows, press L or R to open the Quick Select wheel and select the Ice Arrows, then assign them to the dedicated item slot. If you want to use them, hold ZR to drop your bow, then aim with the analog stick. Release the button to shoot.
