Arrow to the knee

"Arrow to the knee" is a phrase made famous by Skyrim back in 2011. It was made into numerous memes, but its usage has faded away. Interestingly, the Chinese game 轩辕剑6 made a reference to it in one of its DLC 浊山铸篇.

"When I was young, I was very handsome and excelled in martial arts..."

"But the first time I went to a battle, I took an arrow to the knee.. I was crippled and my health has been much worse than before."
