The Slingshot is a basic ranged weapon found in a handful of The Legend of Zelda' games. It's not particulary powerful and is usually replaced fairly quickly by the Bow.
Appearances
Ocarina of Time
- Main article: Fairy Slingshot
Found Inside the Deku Tree, this slingshot can hold up to 30 seeds. Using it puts the player into a first-person perspective, and all shots arc downwards after traveling a while. Link can get a sack pouch capable of holding 40 seeds in the Lost Woods if he shoots the bulls-eye on the 'target' of the tree on the way to Saria, it has a Deku Scrub sitting on top of the tree in its hole. Link can acquire the 50 seed sack at the Shooting Gallery in Castle Town.
Oracle of Seasons
The Slingshot is the dungeon item found in the Dancing Dragon Dungeon. There are five types of ammuntion: Ember Seeds, Mystery Seeds, Scent Seeds, Pegasus Seeds and Gale Seeds. Each seed has it's own ability and attack power. This item is later replaced by the Hyper Slingshot found in the Sword & Shield Maze.
Four Swords Adventures
Twilight Princess
The Slingshot in Twilight Princess is sold by Sera at her shop in Ordon Village, Sera's Sundries, for 30 Rupees.[1] Link can buy 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.[2] Because she is so happy, she will give will a Bottle of Milk.[3] Now that Sera is happy again, Link can shop at her shop again, and subsequently the Slinshot.
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.[4] They will then set up a sort of targetting practice area, where the goal is to shoot down all the targets and scarecrow.[5] After doing those, the kids will be amazed.[6] This part serves as the tutorial for the slingshot, allowing the player 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 usually they hang on vines and cannot be killed with a Sword. After Link acquires the Hero's Bow from the Goron Mines, the Slingshot has no use, as everything it did the bow does better.
Skyward Sword
Link obtains the Slingshot after finding the Kikwi elder's friends. Unlike the Bow and Arrow, the Slingshot only requires the player to point and shoot with the Wiimote, so the Slingshot isn't 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 can't 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.
