Location and Uses

Twilight Princess

The Sky Cannon in Twilight Princess is an ancient Oocca cannon found in a hidden room beneath the Sanctuary in Kakariko Village. The Sky Cannon, when properly assembled and repaired, will send the "messenger who holds the Dominion Rod" from the shores of Lake Hylia to the City in the Sky. To reach the Sky Cannon, Link must obtain the Dominion Rod from the Temple of Time, then fill the Ancient Sky Book with the six missing Sky Characters and give it to Shad, who speaks the words to activate the Owl Statue inside the Sanctuary's cellar. Link can then move the Statue aside using the Dominion Rod.

Link and Shad enter the subsequent hidden room to find the Sky Cannon rusted, dilapidated and broken. Shad suggests to Link that he take it to a cannon expert to be repaired. With Midna's help, they Warp the Sky Cannon to a platform on the Lake Hylia shore, where Fyer immediately recognizes the huge, ancient cannon. Fyer says that he can repair the Sky Cannon for him, asking for an advance payment of an exhausting 300 Rupees for the job. Fyer then says he will "only be a minute", but in fact takes several days, as shown through a brief time-lapse.

After the repairs are complete, Fyer warns Link that although the Sky Cannon looks like junk, it has some "powerful innards" and that Link will be "knocking on the doors of the Heavens". To use it, Link must simply use his Clawshot to enter and activate the Cannon. The first time Link enters the Cannon, Ooccoo and Ooccoo Jr. come running to join him, as the Sky Cannon comes to life and takes several steps before blasting them to the City in the Sky. Even after Link completes the City in the Sky Dungeon, the Sky Cannon will remain at Lake Hylia to shoot him into the heavens whenever he pleases, and its counterpart in the heavens will do the same back to Hyrule.

Inside the Oocca Pod Shop, miniature models of Sky Cannons can be seen behind the leftRight in the Wii version. side of the counter.
