(Marked for Reorg since 2010, think that's no longer necessary. Reworking table, removing altrow workaround as it doesn't work for wikitable. Could be hardcoded as altrow but probably better not to do that.)

*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.

This page refers to the Cannon as an object. For other uses of "Cannon," see Cannon (Disambiguation).

Cannons are recurring Items, Objects, and Enemies in The Legend of Zelda series.[1][2][3][4][5][6][name references needed] 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.

Location and Uses

A Link to the Past

In A Link to the Past, 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 Desert Palace, and a room in the third floor of Ganon's Tower known as the Corridor of Cannons.[1] 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.

The Wind Waker

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 Gyorgs, Seahats, Octoroks and other sea-based enemies. When Link's Bomb stock is depleted, the Cannon cannot be used.

Four Swords Adventures

Main article: Air Cannon

Small, floating Cannons known as Air Cannons can be found in some stages in Four Swords Adventures. 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.

Twilight Princess

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. The Cannon Manual in the Snowpeak Ruins explains how 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.

Phantom Hourglass

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

Spirit Tracks

A Cannon appears in Spirit Tracks as part of the Spirit Train. This Cannon has infinite ammunition and is fired by tapping the desired target with the stylus. The first Cannon that Link acquires is the Practical Cannon, given to him by Alfonzo after the pair are attacked by Bulblins en route to the Snow Realm. There are several other varieties of Cannons that Link can acquire throughout his adventure, by trading Treasures with Linebeck III at the Trading Post.

Skyward Sword

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.

Breath of the Wild

In Breath of the Wild, 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 Ammo can be fired by placing a round Remote Bomb into the Cannon and detonating the Bomb. The young Goron Yunobo offers to act as a Cannon ball to chase the Divine Beast Vah Rudania into Death Mountain.[citation needed] With Daruk's Protection, he is able to do so without being hurt.

Tears of the Kingdom

This section of the page is incomplete. You can help Zelda Wiki by expanding it.

Cannons appear as Zonai Devices in Tears of the Kingdom. When activated and powered by an Energy Cell, a Cannon fires a powerful explosive projectile every few seconds.

Other Appearances

Ripened Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love

Non-Canon Information

In Ripened Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love, there is a Cannon on Page 1 which is used to take Tingle to Page 2.

Phantom Hourglass (Himekawa)

Non-Canon Information

In the Phantom Hourglass manga by Akira Himekawa, Eddo decides to give Link a Cannon for free if the hero can make him feel his need.[7] Link's scream convinces Eddo, although he has to construct a new one because the scream broke all the cannons.[8][9] 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.[10]

The pirate Jolene uses Cannons on her ship to attack the SS Linebeck.[11] These Cannons are also used on Bellum so Link can defeat him.[12]

Trivia

  • In A Link to the Past, 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 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.[13] If he wears the Magic Armor, 1000 of his Rupees will be depleted instantly, but he will survive. This is evident in Twilight Princess HD where Link has a larger wallet.
