==''The Wind Waker''==
===The Wind Waker===
In ''The Wind Waker'', the Cannon is used along with Link's boat to shoot Bombs at enemies, such as a [[Big Octo]], or obstacles. It can be used after Link has obtained Bombs from the [[Pirate Ship]], at which time the [[King of Red Lions]] facilitates the use of the Cannon. The Cannon shoots extremely far for such a small boat and is especially useful for fighting off [[Gyorg]]s, [[Octorok]]s, and [[Peahat]]s.

In ''Twilight Princess'', Cannons first appear in the [[Snowpeak Ruins]] as weapons Link can use to kill [[Freezard]]s and to knock down large ice blocks before he gets the [[Ball and Chain]]. In order to use a Cannon, Link must first find a [[Cannonball]] in the surrounding area and place it in the Cannon. Next he must place a Bomb in the Cannon, and a few seconds later it will shoot the Cannonball. A funfact to know is that the Cannonball does not disappear after it has been shot, it will reappear on the ground where it was shot.
