Hookshot
The Hookshot (Hook Shot in early games) is an item found throughout the Legend of Zelda series. It is 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, Hookshot Targets, wooden beams, chests, and enemies. The Hookshot 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 pull toward the object and vice-versa. This can be varied by changing the weight of Link using the Iron Boots.
