The Hookshot is used most commonly to grapple onto far away objects so that Link can reach previously inaccessible areas. In addition, the Hookshot can also be used as a replacement for the [[Boomerang]] by allowing Link to grab far away objects (like hard to reach [[Rupee]]s or out of reach [[switch]]es) and attack enemies. In most cases, attacking an enemy with the Hookshot will only stun them, but some weaker enemies such as [[Keese]] will be defeated when hit with the Hookshot. Other enemies, such as [[Like Like]]s, will instead pull Link towards them when hit by the Hookshot, which can potentially hurt Link or threaten his other items.

In 2D ''Zelda'' games, the Hookshot will latch onto specific solid objects that stand in either of the four cardinal directions, and can include blocks, chests, specific stones, or [[pot]]s. It is often used to pull Link over pits and unsafe hazards. In the 3D console games, the 3D environment makes greater use of the Hookshot as it can also be used to reach higher or lower heights. In these games, objects that can be grappled onto are usually marked with a bulls eye target. In ''Ocarina of Time'', the Hookshot also produces a laser light used for aiming the Hookshot. In {{OoT3D}}, the laser dot is surrounded by an extra red ring when the Hookshot is pointed at a viable object. In said game, the Hookshot can also be aimed by moving the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. In ''A Link Between Worlds'', the Hookshot gains some additional use as it can also be used to grapple onto switches as well as wooden walls, which Link can then quickly [[Wall Merging|merge]] with.

Over the years, the Hookshot has been redesigned many times, but the concept remains the same. A few games include upgraded variations to the regular Hookshot. ''Ocarina of Time'' includes the '''Longshot''', which has a much longer chain and can therefore reach farther objects. In ''A Link Between Worlds'', the Hookshot can be upgraded to the '''Nice Hookshot''' by [[Mother Maiamai]], if Link has purchased the Hookshot from Ravio's Shop and has found at least 10 Lost [[Maiamai]]s. The Nice Hookshot deals more damage and extends farther. 
 
In a few other games, however, the Hookshot is replaced with other similar items. {{OoA}} replaces the Hookshot with the [[Switch Hook]]. ''The Wind Waker'' includes the Hookshot, but also the [[Grappling Hook]]. {{TP}} and {{SS}} replace the Hookshot with a very similar item, the [[Clawshot]].

Template:Item The Hookshot (pronounced /ˈhʊkˌʃɒt/ HUUK-shot),[1] formatted as Hook Shot in some games,[2][3] is a recurring item in The Legend of Zelda series, first appearing in A Link to the Past. It is a machine consisting of a chain and hook. When used, the chain extends and sends then hook which is attached to it. If the hook latches onto certain objects, Link is projected towards that object. Link can also use it to pull enemies and objects towards him.

Location and Uses

In nearly all games, the Hookshot is almost always found inside dungeons. A recurring trend in the series is that the Hookshot is typically found inside water-themed or flooded dungeons, such as the Swamp Palace in A Link to the Past, or Catfish's Maw in Link's Awakening. 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.

The Hookshot is used most commonly to grapple onto far away objects so that Link can reach previously inaccessible areas. In addition, the Hookshot can also be used as a replacement for the Boomerang by allowing Link to grab far away objects (like hard to reach Rupees or out of reach switches) and attack enemies. In most cases, attacking an enemy with the Hookshot will only stun them, but some weaker enemies such as Keese will be defeated when hit with the Hookshot. Other enemies, such as Like Likes, will instead pull Link towards them when hit by the Hookshot, which can potentially hurt Link or threaten his other items.

In 2D Zelda games, the Hookshot will latch onto specific solid objects that stand in either of the four cardinal directions, and can include blocks, chests, specific stones, or pots. It is often used to pull Link over pits and unsafe hazards. In the 3D console games, the 3D environment makes greater use of the Hookshot as it can also be used to reach higher or lower heights. In these games, objects that can be grappled onto are usually marked with a bulls eye target. In Ocarina of Time, the Hookshot also produces a laser light used for aiming the Hookshot. In Ocarina of Time 3D, the laser dot is surrounded by an extra red ring when the Hookshot is pointed at a viable object. In said game, the Hookshot can also be aimed by moving the Nintendo 3DS.

The Hookshot is Link's grab in Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, it was replaced by the Clawshot. Link, Young Link, and Toon Link can use this move as a tether recovery to grab the edge of the stage and pull themselfs back up to it. Young Link and Toon Link's versions of the Hookshot have a shorter range compared to the adult Link version.

The Hookshot also appears as a Sticker in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Hyrule Warriors

HW Hookshot Sprite.svg

In Hyrule Warriors, the Hookshot appears as an item obtained in the "The Shadow King" Scenario. The Hookshot is used to grapple onto ledges, indicated by a bulls eye target overhead and a glowing space when the Hookshot is selected. It can also be used to grapple onto enemies and quickly move towards them, sometimes also while performing an attack on certain enemies in some instances, such as on Aeralfos when it is in flight. The Hookshot can temporarily be upgraded by finding a item upgrade power-up in battles, which increases its strength for its duration. In this state it can also be used to pull and crash a tiny Moon onto enemies. Its duration can be increased by crafting Whip Badges. The Hookshot is also used to pull down and stun Argorok when its tail glows blue, as well as weaken a part of Ganon when his tail glows.

In Adventure Mode, the Hookshot is also an Item Card that allows to unlock a new area of the map upon completion.
