Slingshot


 * This article is about the items from Oracle of Seasons, Four Swords Adventures and Twilight Princess. For the item from Ocarina of Time, see Fairy Slingshot.

The Slingshot is a recurring item in the Legend of Zelda series. This small weapon consists of an elastic band and a stick, allowing the firing of projectiles at certain targets.

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons
The Slingshot is the main treasure of Dancing Dragon Dungeon, the fourth dungeon in Holodrum. This can be used to fire projectiles in one of the four compass directions. The various kinds of Seeds that can be found throughout Holodrum are used as ammunition for the Slingshot. There also exists a stronger version of the Slingshot known as the Hyper Slingshot, which can fire three seeds in two diagonal directions as well as the direction Link is facing.

The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures
Slingshots can be found on Item Podiums throughout Hyrule. They can be upgraded to Level 2 Slingshots if Link tosses them into a Great Fairy fountain. A Level 2 slingshot has the same function as the Hyper Slingshot from Oracle of Seasons, possessing the ability to shoot three Deku Seeds at once.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
The Slingshot can be bought for 30 Rupees from Sera's Sundries in Ordon Village. Purchasing it makes Link the envy of every child in Ordon Village, although Sera chastises him for being too old to play with toys. Before buying the slingshot, Talo and Malo try to convince Beth to lend hers to them. Malo even insists that they switch families so he can use it. Sera allows him to purchase it only if he promises to let the younger children have a chance to use it as well. When Link first purchases the slingshot, he also receives a supply of ammunition for it; he can later supplement this with Pumpkin Seeds or Deku Nuts.

The slingshot becomes virtually obsolete when Link aquires more effective projectiles like the Hero's Bow, the Gale Boomerang, and the Clawshot.
