Cannon (weapon)

Cannons have appeared as weapons in the Zelda games Wind Waker and Twilight Princess.

The Wind Waker
Cannons can be used as part of Link's arsenal with bombs in conjunction with his boat. This tactic is effective in fighting off several ocean-dwelling foes, particularly Battleships. Since utilization is only possible with bombs, usage of the cannon is limited only to Link's measure of bombs.

Twilight Princess
In the Snowpeak Ruins, several cannons are strewn around, as are cannonballs. For usage, the cannonballs must be placed inside the cannons and ignited via bombs. Their blows are strong enough to destroy tough ice obstacles such as Freezards. Their usage, however, becomes obsolete once Link obtains the Ball and Chain.
