Cannon


 * This page refers to the Cannon as an item. For the character named Cannon featured in The Wind Waker, see Bomb-Master Cannon.

The Cannon premiered in The Wind Waker. It would somehow emerge from the King of Red Lions. The cannon has a large range for such a small boat, and is a useful item when fighting off Gyorg sharks, Sea Hats, Octoroks and other sea based enemies. Link could use as many bombs as he had in it. When the bomb stock is depleted, it could not be used.

Cannons are also found in Twilight Princess. In Snowpeak Ruins, there are cannons spread throughout the dungeon. In order to use them, a cannonball must be found and brought to the cannon. To fire, Link must put the cannonball into the cannon, then place a Bomb into the cannon for ignition. This will send the cannonball flying and destroying any ice object in its path, including Freezards.

It also appears in Phantom Hourglass, but unlike in The Wind Waker, it is not obtained along with the bombs, instead, you buy your first cannon from Eddo's Garage for 50 Rupees. The other cannons are obtained through the Ship Parts side quest. These cannons do not use up Link's stock of bombs. As such, they have infinite ammunition.

The cannon also appears in Spirit Tracks on Links train.The cannon is given to him by Alfonzo.

Trivia

 * In Twilight Princess, if Link places a cannonball and Bomb into a cannon and then stands in front of the cannon barrel as it fires, he will die instantly. If he wears the Magic Armor, all of his Rupees will be depleted instantly, but he will survive.
