The '''Slingshot''' is a seed firing weapon that has appeared in different styles and used for many different actions throughout the [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Zelda'' series]].

==Appearances==

The Slingshot made its debut in {{OOT}} as the '''Fairy Slingshot''', found inside the [[Great Deku Tree]]. Throughout the child portion of the game, the Slingshot serves as one of Link's main tools as well as his only projectile weapon, replaced by the [[Bow|Bow and Arrow]] in adulthood. It fires [[Deku Seed]]s,<ref>{{cite|These are small, hard seeds that you can use as bullets for your Slingshot.|N/A|OOT}}</ref> 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]] and shooting far away switches.

====Bullet Bag====

When originally found, the Slingshot comes with a Bullet Bag that carries 30 [[Deku Seed]]s. There are two upgrades to Link's Bullet Bag. One is obtained by shooting three bullseyes with the Slingshot at a target hanging from a tree in the Lost Woods, after which a Deku Scrub spits the bag towards Link as a reward. Another upgrade is obtained by getting a perfect score in the [[Shooting Gallery]] in [[Hyrule Market]]. These upgrades may only be obtained in Link's childhood. Although the order of receiving each upgrade does not matter, the first to be obtained will hold up to 40 seeds while the second will hold up to 50 seeds.

[[File:Slingshot OOS.png|left|Slingshot]]

The Slingshot in {{OOS}} 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 {{OOA}}. 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]].

The Slingshot makes another appearance in this ''Zelda'' multiplayer game. 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. As with other weapons in this title, Link will not need to separately acquire any ammunition to use. The primary uses for the item is to hit distant switches and as a ranged attack weapon.

{{TP}} marks the first time that an adult Link has been able to use the slingshot. It's available for purchase at the shop in [[Ordon Village]] for 30 [[Rupee]]s near the beginning of the game. The only problem is the firepower and firing range is somewhat lacking compared to the [[Bow|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 [[Pumpkin Seed|ammunition]] is much cheaper than [[arrow]]s.

In {{SS}}, the slingshot acts much like the one in ''Twilight Princess''. However, unlike the bow, the slingshot does not require that the [[Wii]] remote be pointed directly to the screen: simply by pointing and shooting with the remote Link will aim at a target and shoot a projectile at it. Link obtains this item in the [[Faron Woods]] from the [[Kikwi]] elder [[Bucha]] after finding three of the missing forest-dwelling creatures.

 

The Slingshot can later be upgraded to the '''Scattershot'''. This upgraded slingshot can fire several shots at once, widening the area that is hit similar to the L-2 Slingshot from ''Four Swords Adventures''. Despite firing multiple projectiles, it only consumes one seed per use, as it breaks the seed into several pieces.

The Slingshot is featured again in the spin-off title, ''[[Ripened Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love]]''. It is found in [[Peter]]'s house, and belongs to the talking doll, [[Corn Boy]]. [[Tingle]] needs to use this item frequently during his adventure. It can used everything from attacking crows to knocking down items in high places. The slingshot has unlimited ammunition.

{{noncanon|start}}

In the {{Manga|OOT}}, at the beginning of the Link's adventure, rather than Link obtaining the slingshot from inside the [[Great Deku Tree]], he creates it to obtain fruit from trees.

In {{HW}} when using the Spear weapon, [[Lana]] is capable of having it transform into various different forest themed weapons, one of them being the Slingshot. It is a giant variation of the classic item, and instead of standard slingshot pellets, Lana fires a giant [[Deku Nut]] instead.
