The Cannon first appeared in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' and has since appeared in other games, including the next two cel-shaded games, Twilight Princess, and one of [[Tingle|Tingle's]] games.
==Location and Uses==
==={{ALttP|-}}===
In {{ALttP}}, 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 {{Term|ALttP|Desert Palace|link}}, and a room in the third floor of {{Term|ALttP|Ganon's Tower|link}} known as the Corridor of Cannons.<ref name="ALttP Guide 139"/> 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.


==Appearances==

===''The Wind Waker''===
After Link obtains [[Bomb]]s 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 {{Plural|TWWHD|Gyorg|link}}, [[Seahat]]s, [[Octorok]]s and other sea-based enemies. When [[Link]]'s Bomb stock is depleted, the Cannon cannot be used.


After [[Link]] obtains [[bomb]]s 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 [[Gyorg]] sharks, [[Sea Hat]]s, [[Octorok]]s and other sea-based enemies. When [[Link]]'s bomb stock is depleted, the cannon cannot be used.
==={{FSA|-}}===
{{Main|Air Cannon}}
Small, floating Cannons known as [[Air Cannon]]s can be found in some stages in {{FSA}}. 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 Gem]]s for the Links to collect in these areas.


===''Twilight Princess''===
==={{TP|-}}===
Cannons are also found in {{TP}}. 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 [[Freezard]]s. The {{Term|TPHD|Cannon Manual|link}} in the {{Term|TPHD|Snowpeak Ruins}} explains how {{Plural|TPHD|Cannon}} are used.


[[File:Cannon1.jpg|thumb|left|Firing a cannon in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'']]Cannons are also found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|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 [[Freezard]]s.
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]].


===''Phantom Hourglass''===
==={{PH|-}}===
[[File:Eddo's Cannon.png|right|40px]]
In {{PH}}, {{Plural|PH|Cannon}} are weapons which can be attached to the {{Term|PH|SS Linebeck|link}}. {{Term|PH|Link}} buys his first {{Term|PH|Cannon}} from {{Term|PH|Eddo's Garage|link}} for 50 {{Plural|PH|Rupee|link}}, when he finds that the route to [[Northwestern Sea]] is blocked by {{Plural|PH|Boulder|link}}. The {{Term|PH|Cannon}} has infinite ammunition and is fired by tapping the desired target with the stylus. A variety of {{Plural|PH|Cannon}} with different appearances can be obtained in the same manner as other {{Plural|PH|Ship Part|link}}; most commonly from {{Plural|PH|Shop|link}}, {{Plural|PH|Treasure Chest|link}} and {{Plural|PH|Mini-Game|link}}. The {{Term|PH|Cannon}} can also be used to get the attention of {{Plural|PH|Golden Frog|link}} by hitting them with a cannonball.
A cannon also appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'', but unlike in ''The Wind Waker'', it is not obtained along with the bombs. Instead, Link buys his first cannon from [[Eddo's Garage]] for 50 [[Rupee]]s. 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.


===''Spirit Tracks''===
====List of {{Plural|PH|Cannon}}====
[[File:Practical_Cannon.png‎|left|65 px]]The cannon's latest appearance is in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]'' on the [[Spirit Train]]. The practical cannon is given to him by [[Alfonzo]]. There are different varieties of cannons Link can acquire throughout the game as well, by trading [[treasure]]s with [[Linebeck III]] at the [[Trading Post]]. Link can can go to [[Alfonzo]]'s house in [[Aboda Village]] to attach and switch [[Train Cars]]. The [[Spirit Train]] has a stamina of four hearts, while two cars from the same set besides the Spirit Train's will earn five hearts, and a complete set is worth six. The Golden Train has eight hearts.

===''Color-Changing Tingle's Love Balloon Trip''===
==={{ST|-}}===
In ''[[Color Changing Tingle's Love Balloon Trip]]'', there is a cannon on [[Page 1]] which is used to take [[Tingle]] to [[Page 2]].
A {{Term|ST|Cannon}} appears in {{ST}} as part of the {{Term|ST|Spirit Train|link}}. This {{Term|ST|Cannon}} has infinite ammunition and is fired by tapping the desired target with the stylus. The first {{Term|ST|Cannon}} that {{Term|ST|Link}} acquires is the {{Term|ST|Practical Cannon|link}}, given to him by {{Term|ST|Alfonzo|link}} after the pair are attacked by {{Plural|ST|Bulblin|link}} en route to the {{Term|ST|Snow Realm|link}}. There are several other varieties of {{Plural|ST|Cannon}} that {{Term|ST|Link}} can acquire throughout his adventure, by trading {{Plural|ST|Treasure|link}} with {{Term|ST|Linebeck III|link}} at the {{Term|ST|Trading Post|link}}.

==={{SS|-}}===
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]].
==={{BotW|-}}===
In {{BotW}}, Cannons can be found and used around the [[Eldin (Region)|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 {{Plural|BotW|Ammo|link}} can be fired by placing a round [[Remote Bomb]] into the {{Term|BotW|Cannon}} and detonating the Bomb. The young Goron [[Yunobo]] offers to act as a Cannon ball to chase the {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast Vah Rudania|link}} into Death Mountain.{{Fact}} With [[Daruk's Protection]], he is able to do so without being hurt.
==={{TotK|-}}===
{{Stub|TotK}}
{{Plural|TotK|Cannon}} appear as {{Plural|TotK|Zonai Device|link}} in {{TotK}}. When activated and powered by an {{Term|TotK|Energy Cell|link}}, a {{Term|TotK|Cannon}} fires a powerful explosive projectile every few seconds.

==Trivia==
==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 [[Rupee|Rupees]] will be depleted instantly, but he will survive.
* In {{ALttP}}, 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 {{TP}}, 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.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote= |author= TheSw1tcher|published= May 22, 2016|retrieved= May 23, 2016|url= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K72PhIw7xpo&feature=youtu.be&t=7m|title= Super Best Friends Play The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Part 25)|site= YouTube|type=}}</ref> If he wears the [[Magic Armor]], 1000 of his [[Rupee]]s will be depleted instantly, but he will survive. This is evident in {{TPHD}} where Link has a larger wallet.
