Slingshot: Difference between revisions

The Slingshot in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' is sold by [[Sera]] at her shop in [[Ordon Village]], [[Sera's Sundries]], for 30 [[Rupee]]s.{{Ref|TP|4063|[[Sera]]}} Link can buy it once he has used the [[Fishing Rod]] to catch two [[Greengill]]s, 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.{{Ref|TP|3343|[[Sera]]}} Because she is so happy, she will give will a [[Bottle]] of [[Milk]].{{Ref|TP|3340|Sera}} 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 [[Link's House|house]] can be found. Here, [[Malo]], [[Talo]], and [[Beth]] will be very excited to see Link has the Slingshot.{{Ref|TP|3545|[[Talo]]}} They will then set up a sort of targeting practice area, where the goal is to shoot down all the targets and scarecrow.{{Ref|TP|3570|Talo}} After doing those, the kids will be amazed.{{Ref|TP|3582|Kids of Ordon}} 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 ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', except that it arcs downward after a while. It is most useful against [[Walltula]]s, as they usually 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.
