Slingshots are recurring items in The Legend of Zelda series. They are not particularly powerful and are usually replaced fairly quickly by Bows.
Ocarina of Time
The Fairy Slingshot is the dungeon item Inside the Deku Tree, and is exclusive to Young Link. It uses Deku Seeds as ammo, and can be used to shoot faraway Switches or Gold Skulltulas, or stun enemies. While aiming, Link enters a first-person view, and shots will slowly arc downwards after being shot.
The Fairy Slingshot comes with the Deku Seeds Bullet Bag[1][2], which stores up to 30 Deku Seeds. Link can upgrade the Bag twice, each upgrade raising the capacity by +10, to a max of 50 Deku Seeds. Note that both upgrades are only available as Young Link:
- In the Lost Woods, the room to the right of the southern entrance contains a tree with a wooden target hanging from it. If Link uses the Fairy Slingshot and gets three bullseyes, a Business Scrub appears above the tree and rewards Link with the upgrade.[3]
- The Shooting Gallery Owner will give Link an upgrade if he gets a perfect score.[4]
Oracle of Seasons
The Slingshot is the dungeon item found in the Dancing Dragon Dungeon. There are five types of ammunition: Ember Seeds, Mystery Seeds, Scent Seeds, Pegasus Seeds and Gale Seeds. Each seed has its own ability and attack power. This item is later replaced by the Hyper Slingshot found in the Sword & Shield Maze.
Four Swords Adventures
The Slingshot is an item found in various levels in Four Swords Adventures. This item functions similarly to its previous incarnations, but can be charged in order to make the seeds fly farther, and has unlimited ammo. If given to the Great Fairy and upgraded to level 2, it will allow Link to fire the Slingshot from 3 different directions at once.
Twilight Princess
The Slingshot in Twilight Princess is sold by Sera at her shop in Ordon Village, Sera's Sundries, for 30 Rupees.[5] Link can purchase it once he has used the Fishing Rod to catch two Greengills, one of which Sera's cat will take back to their master. If Link then enters Sera's Sundries, Sera will be very happy, telling Link her cat caught a fish all by himself.[6] Because she is so happy, she will give Link a Bottle of Milk.[7] Now that Sera is happy again, Link can shop at her shop again, and subsequently the Slingshot.
After purchasing the Slingshot, Link can head to the small area where his house can be found. Here, Malo, Talo, and Beth will be very excited to see Link has the Slingshot.[8] They will then set up a sort of targeting practice area, where the goal is to shoot down all the targets and scarecrow.[9] After shooting them all, the kids will be amazed.[10] This part serves as the tutorial for the Slingshot, allowing Link to learn how to use it in a way that seems part of the story.
It functions the same way as the Hero's Bow in Twilight Princess, except that it arcs downward after a while. It is most useful against Walltulas, as they usually hang on vines and cannot be defeated with a sword. After Link acquires the Hero's Bow from the Goron Mines, the Slingshot loses most of its utility since the Bow can be used in its place to a more effective degree.
Skyward Sword
The Slingshot is obtained after finding the Kikwi elder's friends. Unlike the Bow and Arrow, the Slingshot only requires Link to point and shoot with the Wii Remote, so the Slingshot is not too different from the Twilight Princess version. Link will simply take aim and shoot. This allows Link to fire at enemies quickly in battle when he cannot take the time to aim with the Bow, due to its aiming mechanism.
The Slingshot can be upgraded to the Scattershot with 3 Jelly Blobs, 2 Amber Relics, and 2 Dusk Relics.
