The '''Slingshot''' is a basic ranged weapon found in a handful of [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|Zelda]] games. It's not particulary powerful and is usually replaced fairly quickly by the [[Bow]].

==Appearances==

===Ocarina of Time===

Found in the [[Great Deku Tree]], this [[Fairy Slingshot|slingshot]] can hold up to 30 [[Deku Seed|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 Seed]]s, [[Mystery Seed]]s, [[Scent Seed]]s, [[Pegasus Seed]]s and [[Gale Seed]]s. 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]].

===Twilight Princess===

[[Link]] buys this slingshot in the beginning of the game for 30 [[Rupee]]s at [[Sera's Sundries]] in [[Ordon Village]]. It comes with 50 [[Pumpkin Seed|seeds]], but the capacity to carry more is never increased. 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.

===Skyward Sword===

Link obtains the Slingshot after finding the [[Bucha|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.
