Archery in this game is very fun and provides a great feeling of tactical control and strategy. However limiting bow users to only daggers for melee is frustrating. A great solution for this would be to implement some kind of shortbow weapon that could be equipped as a sidearm. This would allow builds focused on a melee main weapon to still use a bow for range attacks.

+1 For some kind of small bow. Maybe even a single hand crossbow.

+1 Steve really wants crossbows afaik, at least he was very excited reading that on chat at stream, and is such a natural fit it's bound to happen

+1, a small crossbow or even dual crossbows would be very cool as a concept.

Bonus points for wrist-mounted crossbows, and/or other weird designs.

Yeah crossbow side arms make the most sense. Wrist mounted was my thought too.

I like the idea of crossbows but feel like they deserve to be their own thing, with their own weapon art line and likewise come in both primary and sidearm variants (sidearm being a small wrist x-bow would be awesome).

Something that's like a slingshot but shoots arrows.

+1 for shortbow or crossbow sidearms (though i'd love single hand crossbow sidearms and twohanded heavy crossbow primaries to be their own thing)

Actually, just straight up slingshots as the sidearm counterpart to bows would give amazing LoZ:OoT vibes. I would love that. lol

Oh looked slingshot up, it is different from a sling. Also good idea 😄

Yeah, it's a mini-bow for rocks instead of arrows.
Actual slings, while similar in some ways, are... more like whips with a ranged modifier. 😄

Anyways +1 for a small bow or non magic ranged weapon as secondary 😛
we already have a non magic ranged weapon as a secondary, the throwing knives.
Not saying more wouldn't be nice, just that it's already a thing.
