Hookshot: Difference between revisions

'''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]].

{{Quote|Hookshot<br/>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 acts in the same way as its predecessor. It is found in [[Catfish's Maw]] and can be used to pull Link towards blocks.

The Hookshot is found 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|Gold Skulltula Tokens]] much easier.

Unlike many items in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', the Hookshot takes on a much different appearance than in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|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 Pirate]]s from the throne room, Link can open the treasure chest there to obtain the Hookshot.

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

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]'', the Hookshot can be rented from [[Ravio]] through his [[Ravio's Shop|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 [[Rupee]]s.

===''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, drag yourself to enemies, and to bring down [[Argorok (Hyrule Warriors)|Argorok]]. If Link picks up the power-up for the Hookshot, it can be used to pull down the [[Moon]] on to the enemy that was targeted.
