The '''Clawshot''' is a long chain with a claw on the end.{{Ref|''Clawshot Twilight Princess Trading Card''|The Clawshot is a long chain with a claw...|Card Description}} It can be used to do multiple things, including grapple to certain targets, retrieve objects, stun enemies, and more.{{Ref|name=Quote1}} So far, the Clawshot has been seen in only two games, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. In both games, the Clawshot has a pair that combines to make the [[Double Clawshots]].

===Twilight Princess===

The Clawshot makes its first appearance in ''Twilight Princess''. It is found in the third [[dungeon]] of the game, the [[Lakebed Temple]]. In order to collect it, [[Link]] must defeat the [[Mini-Boss]] of the dungeon, the [[Deku Toad]].{{Ref|name=Quote2}}

The Clawshot is mainly used in ''Twilight Princess'' to grapple onto targets, steel grates, and vines. Most areas in the game have one or more of these targets. It is also used to stun enemies and retrieve objects that are far away. Since it is a chain that is propelled, the Clawshot cannot be stopped by wind. This characteristic is used in the [[City in the Sky]], where Link has to activate a switch using the Clawshot, because the [[Hero's Bow]] cannot shoot through the wind that blows away from the switch. The Clawshot is one of the most used items in the entire game.

There is a second Clawshot that can be found in ''Twilight Princess'' that combines with the first to create the Double Clawshots. Thios second Clawshot is obtained in City in the Sky after defeating the mini-boss, an [[Aeralfos]]. With this second Clawshot, Link can now shoot one while using the other to hold onto a target. This makes for some easy transporting through areas with lots of Clawshot targets. Additionally, there is a [[Piece of Heart]] found in the [[Kakariko Gorge]] that can only be collected using the Double CLawshots.

The Clawshot is also used in the [[STAR Game]] [[Mini-Game]]. In this game, Link can use the Clawshot to travel around the caged areas in order to collect shiny orbs. If he succesfully collects all the orbs within the time limit, he wins a quiver upgrade.

The Clawshot makes in second appearance in ''Skyward Sword''. Here, the Clawshot is obtained after completing the [[Lanayru Desert]] [[Silent Realm]]. However, Link does no collect one Clawshot at this time: he collects both, immediately having the Double Clawshots.

 

The Double Clawshots are mainly used to explore the [[Lanayru Sand Sea]], as there are Clawshot targets all over the area. However, it is not used much anywhere else, making it a lot less useful than its ''Twilight Princess'' counterparts.
