It doesn't matter if the arrow disintegrates on impact, it doesn't matter if a fire arrow burns up after impact, or if an arrow blows up. It still requires a normal arrow being fired. So it is still "normal arrow" + "light magic." The added light magic would hurt evil more, but the arrow it self would still hurt non evil targets. In Super Smash Bros. Zelda's light arrow still hurts characters that are not evil.

And the only reason Zelda gets knocked out by Ganondorf with a since backhand to the face is because it's in the script. Just like how Peach has all the powers she needs to kick Bowser's ass, but all she ever does is cry for help and not fight back. It's just because it's in the script, Mario is the hero, it's his job to save her. In LoZ Link is the hero, it's his job to defeat Ganondor. The part where Zelda gets knocked out is just part of the story part in the make the final boss fight more challenging. Tons of bosses in games have a 2nd phase where they change things up a bit. If they didn't the boss fights would get boring, because once you learn the bosses fight patterns it's just too easy to beat them.

So still, arrows, even normal ones deadlier than soccer balls, fireballs deadlier than turnips, and swords and daggers  deadlier than tennis rackets, golf clubs, and frying pans.
