TheGrappling Hook is a recurringItem inThe Legend of Zelda series.[1] It enablesLink to latch on to cantilevered ledges called Grappling Posts or Pegs,[2] as well as Treasure Chests inPhantom Hourglass,[2] and use them to swing across large distances to otherwise unreachable platforms.[3][4]

Location and Uses

The Wind Waker

InThe Wind Waker, the Grappling Hook is given to Link as a gift fromMedli after defeating theMoblins that had captured her at the summit ofDragon Roost Cavern.[5][6] It can be used to cross gaps by latching at specific targets. A separate function of the Grappling Hook is in thestealing of enemySpoils.[7][8] Link can also use it to retrieve threeHearts fromPrincess Zelda during the final battle againstGanondorf.

When equipped aboard theKing of Red Lions, the Grappling Hook becomes a crane, which allows Link to pull upSunken Treasure from the seabed.[9][10] These sunken chests can be found beneathRings of Light scattered across theGreat Sea.[11]

The Grappling Hook is said to have been used by theRito people before they obtained wings to navigate the heights and upper levels of the mountain onDragon Roost Island.[5]

Phantom Hourglass

InPhantom Hourglass, the Grappling Hook can be used in several ways. It can be used as a walkable tightrope,[2] which also allows Link to use items while he is over it. However, if Link uses the Grappling Hook again, the previous tightrope disappears.[2] Similar to aSlingshot, it is capable of blasting Link across large holes.[2] It can also be used as a kilter of weight, pulling Link towards heavy objects while bringing light objects to him.[12][2] Furthermore, it can also be used to reflect attacks. This is useful when redirectingArrows when shooting certain types of eyeswitches that close when Link looks at them.

The Grappling Hook is obtained in theTemple of Ice. It is used to defeat the boss,Gleeok, for which all possible ways of use will be required. TheSalvage Arm replaces the Grappling Hook's crane feature at sea.

Trivia

  • InThe Wind Waker, if Link misses the spot where aTriforce Shard can be hauled up, he will sometimes pull up aVase, spawning anOctorok afterwards.[13]
