Cannon

are recurring NaN Objects and NaN Items in. Cannons most commonly appear as either stationary weapons or as weapons that can be equipped to a vehicle, such as a boat or Train, which can then be used to fire either Bombs or cannonballs.

In, Cannons are dangerous traps that appear in some locations. They are connected to the walls of certain rooms; the room containing the Big Key in the ALttP:, and a room in the third floor of Ganon's Tower known as the Corridor of Cannons. They move along the wall in a predictable back-and-forth motion, firing cannonballs at regular intervals. They are placed on either side of the room, so the cannonballs will assault Link from both directions, making it hard to pass. Link has to time his movements carefully to get beyond these traps, as they cannot be destroyed.

After Link obtains Bombs from Tetra's Ship, the King of Red Lions facilitates the use of the Cannon. The cannon has a large range for such a small boat, and is a useful item when fighting off NaN Gyorgs, Seahats, Octoroks and other sea-based enemies. When Link's Bomb stock is depleted, the Cannon cannot be used.

Small, floating Cannons known as Air Cannons can be found in some stages in. They are used to blast all of the four Links to higher areas, but are also present to return to the top once the Links fall through a hole in the ground. Often, there are Large Force Gems for the Links to collect in these areas.

Cannons are also found in. 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. The TPHD: in the TPHD: explains how NaN Cannons are used.

Two Cannons can be found in the overworld which are used to transport Link between places. The first of these is Fyer's cannon, used to launch Link to Gerudo Desert, and the Sky Cannon, used to shoot him up the City in the Sky.

In, NaN Cannons are weapons which can be attached to the PH:. PH: buys his first PH: from PH: for 50 NaN Rupees, when he finds that the route to Northwestern Sea is blocked by NaN Boulders. The PH: has infinite ammunition and is fired by tapping the desired target with the stylus. A variety of NaN Cannons with different appearances can be obtained in the same manner as other NaN Ship Parts; most commonly from NaN Shops, NaN Treasure Chests and NaN Mini-Games. The PH: can also be used to get the attention of NaN Golden Frogs by hitting them with a cannonball.

A ST: appears in as part of the ST:. This ST: has infinite ammunition and is fired by tapping the desired target with the stylus. The first ST: that ST: acquires is the ST:, given to him by ST: after the pair are attacked by NaN Bulblins en route to the ST:. There are several other varieties of NaN Cannons that ST: can acquire throughout his adventure, by trading NaN Treasures with ST: at the ST:.

A Cannon can be found on Fun Fun Island. This is used to launch Link up into the air and begin a minigame. Another one can be found on the boat used to navigate the Lanayru Sand Sea.

In, Cannons can be found and used around the Eldin Region around Goron City and Death Mountain. Each Cannon has a lever that causes it to rotate, allowing Link to aim it at different targets. Their NaN Ammos can be fired by placing a round Remote Bomb into the BotW: and detonating the Bomb. The young Goron Yunobo offers to act as a Cannon ball to chase the BotW: into Death Mountain. With Daruk's Protection, he is able to do so without being hurt.

NaN Cannons appear as NaN Zonai Devices in. When activated and powered by an TotK:, a TotK: fires a powerful explosive projectile every few seconds.

In, there is a Cannon on Page 1 which is used to take Tingle to Page 2.

In the, Eddo decides to give Link a Cannon for free if the hero can make him feel his need. Link's scream convinces Eddo, although he has to construct a new one because the scream broke all the cannons. Once the Cannon is complete, Link first uses it to explode an attacking Octorok. The Cannon is last used to keep Bellum at bay until Link slays the monster.

The pirate Jolene uses Cannons on her ship to attack the SS Linebeck. These Cannons are also used on Bellum so Link can defeat him.

Trivia

 * In, the amount of cannonballs fired by Cannons depends on how many other enemies are active nearby; even in adjacent rooms. For example, if the enemies to in the rooms to the west of the Cannons in the Desert Palace are still alive, the cannonballs will only fire a total of four cannonballs at a time. Despite this, they will still go through the action of firing even when they do not launch a cannonball.
 * In, 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, 1000 of his Rupees will be depleted instantly, but he will survive. This is evident in where Link has a larger wallet.
