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 (Enemy)|Gyorg]] sharks, [[Seahat]]s, [[Octorok]]s and other sea-based enemies. When [[Link]]'s bomb stock is depleted, the cannon cannot be used.

This page refers to the Cannon as an item. For the character named Cannon featured in The Wind Waker, see Bomb-Master Cannon. Not to be confused with canon, the material that makes up the official Zelda universe.

Template:Object Cannons are recurring objects in the Template:Series. The most common use of the Cannon is to shoot Bombs from a train or a boat, respectively.

The Cannon first appeared as a weapon used by Link in The Wind Waker and has since appeared as usable item in other games, including the two cel-shaded games, Twilight Princess, and one of Tingle's games.

Appearances

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 Template:En sharks, 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.

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. 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

A cannon also appears in 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 Rupees. 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.

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 Rupees will be depleted instantly, but he will survive.
