Clawshot

The Clawshot is an item from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. This small item consists of a long chain connected to a discharging claw that Link can fire to either pull items towards himself or pull himself towards certain surfaces, hence the name. It is for all intents and purposes a replacement for the Hookshot that appears in several other Legend of Zelda games. The reason for creating an entirely new item for the game is not known. Unlike the Hookshot, the Clawshot does not allow Link to grapple Treasure Chests, while otherwise it is functionally identical to the Hookshot.

The Clawshot is obtained by defeating the Deku Toad, the mini-boss of the Lakebed Temple. After the toad is defeated, it spits out the Clawshot. Later in the game, Link can obtain another Clawshot in the City in the Sky, allowing Link to fire a second Clawshot when he's already stuck to a surface. The Clawshot stuns certain enemies when they are hit by it. The clawshot is used to play the STAR mini-game in Hyrule castle town. One clawshot is needed for the first level, while both must be used to complete the second level of the mini-game.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Link can use the Clawshot to grab his opponents. He can also use it as a recovery item to tether himself to the ledges of a stage.
