In {{OoT}}, the '''Fairy Slingshot''' is found [[Inside the Deku Tree]]. Throughout the child portion of the game, the Fairy Slingshot serves as one of [[Link]]'s main tools as well as his only projectile weapon, replaced by the [[Bow]] 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 enemies. The Fairy Slingshot must be used for many tasks to aid Link on his quest, including defeating enemies such as [[Skulltula]]s and shooting far away [[Switch]]es.

In {{OoS}}, the Slingshot is located inside the [[Dancing Dragon Dungeon]]. This Slingshot uses [[Mystical Seed]]s, serving the same purpose as the [[Seed Shooter]] in {{OoA}}. The main difference between them 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.

In {{FSA}}, the Slingshot can be found in various Levels; however, it can only be used in the Level where it is obtained, as all items disappear from Link's inventory once the Level is completed. If Link gives it to a [[Great Fairy]], it will be upgraded to the Level 2 Slingshot, which allows Link to fire seeds in three different directions at once. Also, Link can charge the Slingshot to increase its travel distance. Different from previous games, the Slingshot has unlimited ammunition.

In {{TP}}, the Slingshot is available for purchase at [[Sera's Sundries]] in [[Ordon Village]] for 30 [[Rupee]]s.

The Slingshot can knock down [[beehive]]s in one shot and defeat small enemies like [[Skullwalltula]]s and [[Keese]]. Once Link obtains the Bow, the Slingshot becomes mostly useless, as it has less range and cannot damage bigger enemies.
