Fairy Slingshot



The Fairy Slingshot is a weapon used by Young Link in Ocarina of Time, however it is a childhood weapon and therefore cannot be used by Adult Link, much alike the Boomerang, the Deku Stick and Magic Beans.

The Fairy slingshot is found in Ocarina of Time's first dungeon, Inside the Deku Tree. Throughout the child portion of the game, the slingshot serves as Link's main tool, second only to his sword, as well as his only projectile weapon, replaced by the Bow and Arrow in adulthood. It fires Deku Seeds which are commonly found by cutting grass or defeating simple enemies. The slingshot must be used for many tasks to aid Link on his quest including destroying enemies such as Skulltula, shooting far away switches, defeating bosses as well as in mini-games.

Deku Seed Bags
When originally found, the Slingshot comes with a Seed Bag which carries 30 Deku Seeds. There are two upgrades to Link's Seed bags. The first upgrade is obtained through shooting three bulls eyes with the slingshot at the target in the Lost Woods. It is spat at you by a Deku Scrub after shooting the bulls eyes and holds 40 seeds. The second upgrade is obtained through getting a perfect score in the Shooting Gallery in Hyrule Market. The shop owner will hand you the bag which holds 50 seeds. Note that these upgrades must be obtained in childhood and the order of receiving them does not matter.
