Hookshots are recurring items in The Legend of Zelda series. They are a hook that stretches out on a chain allowing Link to attach to various items and pull himself towards them. This includes, but is not limited to blocks, targets, wooden beams, chests, and enemies. Hookshots can also pull objects to Link. The element that decides this is the weight of the object in comparison to Link. If the object is heavier, Link will be pulled towards the object, and vice-versa. This can be varied by changing the weight of Link using the Iron Boots.

A Link to the Past

"Hookshot
The Hookshot is a very versatile tool. It has several different uses. Link should use it mainly as a grappling hook to pull himself across various gaps. The end of the Hookshot will latch onto a variety of surfaces and objects and then will pull Link toward that object. The Hookshot can also retrieve various items and will stun most enemies."

— A Link to the Past Nintendo Player's Guide

"The Hookshot is locked in the Big Chest in the Watergate dungeon. Link needs it to proceed."

"Boing! Link has extended the Hookshot and is using it to grapple across a treacherous gap."

The Hookshot from A Link to the Past

The Hookshot is the main dungeon item of the Swamp Palace. It is found in the main room inside the Big Chest. The Hookshot can latch on to jars as well as treasure chests and can do damage and/or stun some enemies. It will spring out in front of Link and travel the length of the screen until it comes in contact with an object or enemy. The Hookshot will collect items and bring them back to Link. Due to a program quirk, the hookshot can allow players to bypass spike blocks, however, this is never required in any situation.

Link's Awakening

In Link's Awakening, the Hookshot can be found in Catfish's Maw after defeating Master Stalfos for the fourth time. It acts in the same way as its predecessor and can be used to pull Link towards blocks. In the original game and DX version, the Hookshot also functions as a weapon and can deal damage to several enemies, including mini-bosses such as Gohmas. However, in the Nintendo Switch remake, the Hookshot stuns most enemies instead of harming them.

Ocarina of Time

The Hookshot is found in Dampé's Crypt, accessed under a gravestone in the Kakariko Village Graveyard, as a reward for racing Dampé as an adult. It features a red dot which acts as crosshairs and can connect to wooden objects such as treasure chests, crates, and torches as well as stone targets. The Hookshot is required to enter every temple save for the Spirit Temple and makes collecting Gold Skulltula Tokens much easier.

Majora's Mask

The Hookshot from Majora's Mask

Unlike many items in Majora's Mask, the Hookshot takes on a much different appearance than in Ocarina of Time, although it works in the exact same way. Before Link sets off to Great Bay Temple, he must first obtain the Hookshot in the Pirates' Fortress. After shooting down the beehive and scaring away the Gerudo Pirates from the throne room, Link can open the treasure chest there to obtain the Hookshot.

The Wind Waker

The Hookshot in The Wind Waker is very similar to the one in Ocarina of Time, with the exception of the fact that if Link wears the Iron Boots while using the Hookshot, several objects will be pulled toward him. It is found in the Wind Temple.

A Link Between Worlds

In A Link Between Worlds, the Hookshot can be rented from Ravio through his shop. It can hook on to anything that is made of wood, and thus can be utilized to travel over gaps. Its rent price is 50 Rupees.

Non-Canon Appearances

Hyrule Warriors

In Hyrule Warriors, the Hookshot is a sub-weapon that is obtainable in Legend Mode's The Shadow King scenario. The Hookshot can be used to reach certain platforms, pull the character to enemies, and to bring down Argorok. If a character picks up the power-up for the Hookshot, it can be used to pull down the Moon on to the enemy that was targeted.

Cadence of Hyrule

In Cadence of Hyrule, the Hookshot is an optional permanent item that can be used to cross gaps. It is required in order to get Caladbolg and the Royal Rapier. After getting it, the player can find the Longshot in dungeons or caves.
