Slingshot

The Slingshot is a seed firing weapon that has appeared in different styles and used for many different actions through out the Zelda series.

It can be found in the following games:

Ocarina of Time
The slingshot made its debut in Ocarina of Time as the Fairy Slingshot, found inside the Great Deku Tree. It's the only firing weapon of Young Link.However it is a childhood weapon and therefore cannot be used by Adult Link (who in return gains a Bow and Arrow in place of the slingshot) much alike the Boomerang, the Deku Stick, and Magic Beans. It fires Deku Seeds, which can be either bought or found by killing Deku Babas. The slingshot has many functions from killing enemies to activating switches.

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.

Bullet Bag
When originally found, the Slingshot comes with a Seed Bag that carries 30 Deku Seeds. There are two upgrades to Link's Seed bags. The first upgrade is obtained through shooting three bull's-eyes with the slingshot at the target in the Lost Woods. It is spat at you by a Deku Scrub after shooting the bull's-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.

Oracle of Seasons
The Slingshot in Oracle of Seasons is located inside the fourth dungeon: Dancing Dragon Dungeon. Unlike in Ocarina of Time, this Slingshot uses Mystical Seeds instead of Deku Seeds, serving the same purpose as the Seed Shooter in Oracle of Ages. The main difference between the Seed Shooter and the Slingshot is that, with the Slingshot, the direction of the seed cannot be changed while preparing to shoot; moreover, the seeds will not ricochet if they come in contact with a wall.

An upgraded version of the Slingshot, called the Hyper Slingshot, can also be found. The Hyper Slingshot is a L-2 Slingshot. It shoots three Mystical Seeds at a time in three different directions. It is found inside Sword & Shield Maze.

Four Swords Adventures
The Slingshot makes another appearance in this Zelda multiplayer. It serves the same purpose as the Slingshots in previous Zelda games; however, if Link gives it to a Great Fairy to upgrade it to a Level 2 Slingshot, it will allow Link to fire seeds in three different directions at once. Also, Link can charge the Slingshot to increase its travel distance.

Twilight Princess
Twilight Princess marks the first time that Adult Link has been able to use the slingshot. It's available for purchase at the shop in Ordon Village for 30 Rupees near the beginning of the game. The only problem is the firepower and firing range is somewhat lacking compared to the Bow and Arrow found later in the game. However, the slingshot does have some advantages, namely that it can knock down a beehive in one shot, and the ammunition is much cheaper than arrows.
