They are connected to the walls of certain rooms; the room containing the Big Key in the , and a room in the third floor of Ganon's Tower known as the Corridor of Cannons. They move along the wall in a predictable back-and-forth motion, firing cannonballs at regular intervals. They are placed on either side of the room, so the cannonballs will assault Link from both directions, making it hard to pass. Link has to time his movements carefully to get beyond these traps, as they cannot be destroyed.

The cannon has a large range for such a small boat, and is a useful item when fighting off , Seahats, Octoroks and other sea-based enemies. When Link's Bomb stock is depleted, the Cannon cannot be used.

In the , Eddo decides to give Link a Cannon for free if the hero can make him feel his need.

The Cannon is last used to keep Bellum at bay until Link slays the monster.
The pirate Jolene uses Cannons on her ship to attack the SS Linebeck. These Cannons are also used on Bellum so Link can defeat him.
==Trivia==
*In , the amount of cannonballs fired by Cannons depends on how many other enemies are active nearby; even in adjacent rooms. For example, if the enemies to in the rooms to the west of the Cannons in the Desert Palace are still alive, the cannonballs will only fire a total of four cannonballs at a time. Despite this, they will still go through the action of firing even when they do not launch a cannonball.
*In , if Link places a cannonball and Bomb into a Cannon and then stands in front of the Cannon barrel as it fires, he will die instantly. If he wears the Magic Armor, 1000 of his Rupees will be depleted instantly, but he will survive. This is evident in where Link has a larger wallet.
