[edit] The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

Link can only use the Cannon in conjunction with Bombs while sailing on his boat. This tactic is effective in fighting off several ocean-dwelling foes, particularly Bombships. Because the Cannon is run solely by Bombs, it is limited to Link's supply of them.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Several cannons can be found strewn around Snowpeak Ruins, along with cannonballs. In order to fire a Cannon, Link must place a cannonball inside the cannon and ignite it via a bomb. The Cannon fire is strong enough to destroy tough ice obstacles such as Freezards. Once Link obtains the Ball and Chain, he can use this to destroy frozen obstacles instead, but the cannons still aids in destroying far-away enemies.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

Soon after joining Linebeck on his ship, Link will be able to purchase a Cannon from Eddo for fifty Rupees. The Cannon is able to fire an endless supply of cannonballs. It can be fired when the player taps the touch screen with the stylus. The Cannon is essential for defeating two bosses in the World of the Ocean King, as well as for defeating the Ghost Ship after Bellum possesses it. There are eight different Cannons that can be customized as one of eight pieces of Linebeck's ship.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

The Spirit Train features a cannon that can fire at multiple targets when Link is traveling. The player can shoot at enemies with the cannon merely by tapping on them.
