Does Zelda every use a bow in any of the games? I always thought she was more magic-oriented

She uses light arrows against Ganondorf in Wind Waker. I kinda wanna say BotW too but maybe I'm misremembering

in breath of the wild she gives you the bow of light, and I believe she also uses it in both of the Hyrule Warriors games. I thiiiiink she also has one in smash but it's been a hot second since I've played

Yeah when she uses weapons it's almost always a bow and related to the light arrows.

She gives Link the light bow in the final battle against Ganon.

Edit: there's also a decent bow in her room in the castle, implying she used it.

Yes, it's part of defeating Gannon in multiple games. Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, maybe Twilight Princess and Breath of the Wild if I remember correctly. There are definitely more. I always thought it was a core part of her iconography...

maybe Twilight Princess

Yes, during the horseback chase part of the Ganondorf fight.
