They are machines consisting of a chain and hook. When used, the chains extend and send the hook attached towards their targets. If the hooks latch onto certain objects, {{Term|Series|Link|link}} is projected towards those objects. {{Term|Series|Link}} can also use them to pull enemies and objects towards him.

In nearly all games, the Hookshot is almost always found inside [[dungeon]]s. A recurring trend in the series is that the Hookshot is typically found inside water-themed or flooded dungeons, such as the [[Swamp Palace (A Link to the Past)|Swamp Palace]] in {{ALttP|-}}, or [[Catfish's Maw]] in {{LA}}. The Hookshot is usually guarded by the dungeon's mini-boss and often becomes necessary to navigate the remainder of these dungeons it is found in. It is also often required to defeat the dungeons' bosses.

It is a very useful item for collecting [[Gold Skulltula Tokens]] and killing weaker [[Enemies]].  

The Hookshot can be used to grapple onto switches as well as wooden walls, which Link can then quickly [[Wall Merging|merge]] with. Certain Floodgate switches in the [[Swamp Palace]] can only be grabbed with the Hookshot. These change the water level of the dungeon.
