The '''Hookshot''' is a | The '''Hookshot''' is a recurring item in the [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Zelda'' series]]. It, or a variation of it, has appeared in several ''The Legend of Zelda'' games since ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]''. The item, which is exclusive to ''The Legend of Zelda'' series, is a complex machine consisting of a chain and hook. When it is being used, the chain extends sending a large hook, which is attached to the chain, flying through the air. If the hook latches onto certain objects, the person using it (in this case, Link) is projected towards that object (rather than the chain returning to its original position). | ||

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', the Hookshot is the hidden item in [[Catfish's Maw]]. Unfortunately, it's not as simple as opening a chest. [[Master Stalfos]] has stolen the Hookshot, and Link must defeat him four times before he will hand it over. The Hookshot will be useful when fighting some enemies and bosses including [[Slime Eel]] and [[Evil Eagle]]. | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', the Hookshot is the hidden item in [[Catfish's Maw]].

Because ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' is the first ''Zelda'' game released in 3D, this is also the first appearance of the Hookshot in 3D. For the release of the game, the Hookshot was redesigned, and the game was designed to rely on it more than ever. The Hookshot becomes less useful as a weapon and more useful as a means of solving puzzles and accessing unreachable areas or items. | Because ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' is the first ''Zelda'' game released in 3D, this is also the first appearance of the Hookshot in 3D.

The Hookshot is Link's grab move in both ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', though not in ''Brawl,'' where it has been replaced by the Clawshot. Link can use this move as a tether recovery to grab the edge of the stage and pull himself back up to it. In ''[[Super Smash Bros.
