Overall
Ocarina of Time
Majora's Mask
MM's Light Arrows have different purpose, in this game you needed the Light Arrows to complete the Stone Tower Temple. This place is also the location of the arrows themselves, who are protected by the Boss Garo. After getting the Light Arrows you could evaporate those huge blocks with the sun's face on it or activate the regular Sun Face switches that are all over the place on various walls. Also the Light Arrows were the key item to destroying the Grim Creaper-like Mini-Boss called Gomess.
The Wind Waker
In TWW the Light arrows are the last item you can find in this game, they are located deep in the bowels of Ganondorf's Tower. Hidden in a chest that is your prize for finding the exit of Phantom Ganon's Maze. Once again the Light Arrow prove to be best weapon against both Puppet Ganon and Ganondorf himself. In the last battle Zelda uses the Light Arrows from a distance, and it was your job to keep the evil king distracted while she shoots an Arrow of Light against Ganon.
The Minish Cap
The sacred Arrow of Light is optional item in this game. In order to get these you need to cure Gregal from the Ghost that haunts him, by using the Gust Jar on the Ghost to clear him away. You don't get the arrows right away (instead you get a few Secret Seashells), but much later on when you reach the Cloud Tops you'll meet Gregal again. This time round he does give you the Light Arrow. These arrows are twice as strong as regular arrows, cut grass and can even break pots!

Miscellaneous Notes
In OoT and MM the Light Arrows sometimes make some enemies like a Guay drop a Purple rupee when it is destroyed using this weapon. This can come in handy if you are short on money.
