Earlier this week Eiji Aonuma  posted a new A Link Between Worlds screenshot on Miiverse, revealing the game’s item shop. The  tantalizing tidbit did much to both excite and perplex fans.

The Hookshot has been a mainstay of Link’s arsenal ever since it first appeared in A Link to the Past, where, like the Longshot upgrade in Ocarina of Time, it was the main item of a water-themed dungeon: The Swamp Palace. Same story when it reappeared in the aquatic Catfish’s Maw in Link’s Awakening.
