Tightrope

Tightropes are recurring objects in the Legend of Zelda series. They are ropes strung between locations that allow Link to get from one place to another.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Tightropes appear in the Underground Waterway, the path to the Sacred Grove, the City in the Sky, and in Hyrule Field. Link can only cross them in wolf form; however, he seems incapable of losing his balance. He can also grab onto a tightrope and pull himself onto it after jumping off of a ledge.

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
Link can create a tightrope by tethering his Grappling Hook between two pegs. Like in Twilight Princess, he doesn't lose his balance while crossing them.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Tightropes are found in Faron Woods and Skyview Temple. However, in this game, the Wii Remote must be tilted to the left and right in order for Link to keep his balance. Also, Bokoblins can make use of tightropes. Link can use the Slingshot or the Beetle to cause them to lose their balance and fall, clearing the rope and allowing him to make use of it himself.
