<!-- {{Color|OoT3D Red|Fairy Slingshot}}<br/>A toy weapon used to attack from afar. Its rubber sling can launch Deku Seeds. -->
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.
In {{OoT}}, the Fairy Slingshot is found [[Inside the Deku Tree]]. While [[Link]] is a child, the Fairy Slingshot serves 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.|Inventory|OoT}}</ref> which are commonly found by cutting grass or defeating enemies.

====Bullet Bag====
==={{OoS|-}}===
{{Main|Bullet Bag}}
{{Manual|OoS|Slingshot|Use the Slingshot to shoot seeds at distant objects. Shooting different seeds will produce different effects. If you don't have any seeds, you can't use the Slingshot.}}
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.
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.


===''Oracle of Seasons''===
The Slingshot can be upgraded to the {{Term|OoS|Hyper Slingshot|link}}. It shoots three [[Mystical Seed]]s at a time in three different directions. It is found inside [[Sword & Shield Maze]].
[[File:OOS - Hyper Slingshot.png|right|Artwork of the Hyper Slingshot]]
[[File:Slingshot OOS.png|left|Slingshot]]
[[File:Hyper Slingshot.png|left|Hyper 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 ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]''. 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]].
==={{FSA|-}}===
{{Manual|FSA|Slingshot|Hit an opponent with a Deku nut to freeze him for a moment. Press and hold the A Button and then release it to fire even more Deku nuts!}}
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.


===''Four Swords Adventures''===
==={{TP|-}}===
[[File:Slingshot Sprite FSA.png|left]]
In {{TP}}, the Slingshot is available for purchase at [[Sera's Sundries]] in [[Ordon Village]] for 30 [[Rupee]]s. It uses [[Pumpkin Seed]]s as ammunition, which can be found when destroying [[Ordon Pumpkin]]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.
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.

===''Twilight Princess''===
==={{SS|-}}===
[[File:Slingshot.png|50px|right|The Slingshot from ''Twilight Princess'']]
In {{SS}}, the Slingshot is given to Link by the [[Kikwi]] elder [[Bucha]] in the [[Faron Woods]] after finding three of the missing Kikwis. The Slingshot can be upgraded to the '''Scattershot''' at the [[Scrap Shop]]. This upgrade can fire several shots at once, widening the area that it can hit. Despite firing multiple projectiles, it only consumes one seed per use, as it breaks the seed into several pieces.
{{TP}} marks the first time that [[Link#Adult Link|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 will 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.<ref>{{cite web|quote=Link is tasked to find three missing Kikwi and once found is rewarded with a Slingshot from Bucha.|url=http://www.zeldadungeon.net/2011/10/skyward-sword-previews-galore-and-more-details/; retrieved Oct. 6 2011|site=Zelda Dungeon}}</ref>

The Slingshot can later be upgraded to the '''Scattershot'''.

Slingshots,(OoS | FSA | TP | SS)[1] also known as Fairy Slingshots,(OoT)[1] are recurring Items in The Legend of Zelda series.

Location and Uses

Ocarina of Time

In Ocarina of Time, the Fairy Slingshot is found Inside the Deku Tree. While Link is a child, the Fairy Slingshot serves as his only projectile weapon, replaced by the Bow in adulthood. It fires Deku Seeds,[2] 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 Skulltulas and shooting far away Switches.

Oracle of Seasons

Slingshot
Use the Slingshot to shoot seeds at distant objects. Shooting different seeds will produce different effects. If you don't have any seeds, you can't use the Slingshot.

In Oracle of Seasons, the Slingshot is located inside the Dancing Dragon Dungeon. This Slingshot uses Mystical Seeds, serving the same purpose as the Seed Shooter in Oracle of Ages. 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.

The Slingshot can be upgraded to the Hyper Slingshot. It shoots three Mystical Seeds at a time in three different directions. It is found inside Sword & Shield Maze.

Four Swords Adventures

In Four Swords Adventures, 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.

Twilight Princess

In Twilight Princess, the Slingshot is available for purchase at Sera's Sundries in Ordon Village for 30 Rupees. It uses Pumpkin Seeds as ammunition, which can be found when destroying Ordon Pumpkins. The Slingshot can knock down beehives in one shot and defeat small enemies like Skullwalltulas and Keese. Once Link obtains the Bow, the Slingshot becomes mostly useless, as it has less range and cannot damage bigger enemies.

Skyward Sword

In Skyward Sword, the Slingshot is given to Link by the Kikwi elder Bucha in the Faron Woods after finding three of the missing Kikwis. The Slingshot can be upgraded to the Scattershot at the Scrap Shop. This upgrade can fire several shots at once, widening the area that it can hit. Despite firing multiple projectiles, it only consumes one seed per use, as it breaks the seed into several pieces.
