The Slingshot from Oracle of Seasons

The Slingshot is the main treasure of Dancing Dragon Dungeon, the fourth dungeon in Holodrum. This can be used to fire projectiles in one of the four compass directions. The various kinds of Seeds that can be found throughout Holodrum are used as ammunition for the Slingshot. There also exists a stronger version of the Slingshot known as the Hyper Slingshot, which can fire three seeds in two diagonal directions as well as the direction Link is facing.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures

The Slingshot can be found in various places throughout Hyrule. It can be upgraded if Link tosses it into a Great Fairy fountain. The level two slingshot has the same function as the Hyper Slingshot from Oracle of Seasons, possessing the ability to shoot three projectiles at once.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

The Slingshot can be bought from Sera's Sundries in Ordon Village. Purchasing it makes Link the envy of every child in Ordon Village, although Sera chastises him for being too old to play with toys. Before buying the slingshot, Talo and Malo try to convince Beth to lend hers to them. Malo even insists that they switch families so he can use it. Beth allows him to purchase it only if he promises to let the younger children have a chance to use it as well.

When Link first purchases the slingshot, he also receives a supply of ammunition for it; he can later supplement this with Pumpkin Seeds or Deku Nuts. The practice he receives while using the slingshot serves him well when he later acquires the Hero's Bow.
