[[The Legend of Zelda | '''Hookshots''' are recurring items in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''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]]. | ||

[[File:HookShot.png|thumb|left|The Hookshot from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'']]The Hookshot is the main dungeon item of the [[Swamp Palace (A Link to the Past)|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 (A Link to the Past)|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 ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|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 (A Link to the Past)#Link's Awakening|Link]] towards blocks. In the [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Game Boy)|original game]] and [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX|DX version]], the Hookshot also functions as a weapon and can deal damage to several enemies, including mini-bosses such as [[Gohma]]s. However, in the [[Nintendo Switch]] remake, the Hookshot stuns most enemies instead of harming them. | |||

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 (Ocarina of Time)|Spirit Temple]] and makes collecting [[Gold Skulltula Token]]s much easier. | |||
