Hookshot
Updated - October 9, 2009

The Hookshot is a recurring item in the Legend of Zelda series. The Hookshot is an item consisting of a handle which allows Link to fire a spring-loaded chain with a hook on the end. This can be used to transport Link to special surfaces or pads, like Treasure Chests, by pulling him towards them. It can also be used to pull items towards Link. The Hookshot can also be used as a weapon, which usually does a minimal amount of damage or stuns the enemy.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (Super Nintendo)

Layout
When you pick up the Hookshot, you hold it to your side, and as long as you hold down the grab button, you can aim it like a Cracker Launcher. You can still attack regularly, but when you let go of the Grab Button, your Character shoots the line of Metal Chains at your target. The Chain is about 3 Bowser's laying down. If you get hit by the Chain, you will get small knockback, and get 5%-8% damage. But if this hits a wall, floor, or ceiling, you will be pulled up to where the target was. It does not work on Metal walls, or Metal characters. It disappears after about 5 Shots, or if you get damaged enough, you will drop it for another player to pick up. This does not work with Characters like Link, and Samus, with a grapple grab already.
