Hookshot

From the Nintendo Wiki, your gateway to information on everything Nintendo

The hookshot is an item from The Legend of Zelda series. The tip is a spike which is propelled out of the main body attached to a chain. The spike will fly through the air until it sticks to something or until it runs out of chain. Once it sticks the holder of the Hookshot will be dragged through the air on the chain. If the holder is wearing Iron Boots, the location the spike is stuck to may come off the wall to reveal goodies.

[edit] Game Appearances

Various other similar items have appeared throughout the series including the Catfish's Maw from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, the Grappling Hook, the Switch Hook, and the Clawshot from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
