If Hint Display is on, hints will not only consist of pages of information, but in arrows on the ground. These large blue arrows will point towards that hint's associated location, forming a path in front of the player using the same waypoint system as [[Go Here!]]. Since not all hints have an associated location, not all hints have arrows. The arrows will only appear near the active leader, and up to 5 arrows can be on the ground at a time. Arrows are 3D objects and can clip into the ground and illuminate their surroundings. They do not appear on the [[radar]] or the KopPad camera view.

After appearing, arrows will not stop pointing towards their destination until their completion condition is fulfilled, though they will briefly disappear after the [[KopPad]] or [[Onion menu]] is closed (except the camera app on the KopPad). Arrows can be made to disappear by turning Hint Display off; after turning it back on the arrows will not reappear unless the hint is opened again. | ||
When a hint has multiple associated locations in a set order (such as [[fragment]] piles), arrows will initially point towards the first of these locations. When a location has been visited and a task done there (such as picking up all the fragments), the arrows will disappear. If the player opens the hint page again, the arrows will reappear and point to the next location. (Note that the bubble will not sparkle in this situation, so the game will not let the player know that new arrows are available.) If for some reason the condition for an earlier hint is broken (such as calling Pikmin off fragments from an earlier pile), the arrows will point to the earlier location again until its condition is met again. | When a hint has multiple associated locations in a set order (such as [[fragment]] piles), arrows will initially point towards the first of these locations.
