Clawshots,(TP | SS | HW)[1][2][3] are recurring items in The Legend of Zelda series. If Link has two, they are titled the Double Clawshots.
Mainline appearances[]
Twilight Princess[]
In Twilight Princess, Link finds a Clawshot in the Lakebed Temple after defeating the Deku Toad. The Clawshot can be used inside the dungeon to reach new areas by latching at vines, targets, Peahats, and grids. It can also be used to remove the armor of Helmasaurs so they can be damaged. It is also required to defeat the temple's boss, Morpheel. Later on, in the City in the Sky, Link can receive the Double Clawshots upgrade.
The Clawshots can also be used in the overworld to reach new areas and items, such as Pieces of Heart. They are required to complete the STAR Game. In the Wii version, they are targeted by using the Wii Remote.
Skyward Sword[]
Link obtains two Clawshots at once by completing Nayru's Silent Realm in Skyward Sword, so an individual Clawshot is never used.
Spinoff appearances[]
Hyrule Warriors[]
In Hyrule Warriors, the Clawshot appears as a temporary upgrade to the Hookshot. To upgrade it, a Warrior must find the Clawshot by defeating enemies or destroying pots. By creating the Whip Badges, the duration of the upgrade can be increased.
My Nintendo Picross: Twilight Princess[]
The thirty-third puzzle in the Picross series and the thirty-second puzzle in the Mega Picross series depict a Clawshot.
Crossover appearances[]
Super Smash Bros. Brawl[]
Link using the Clawshot as a grab move
The Clawshot replaces the Hookshot as Link's grab move in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. If Link misses his target after a grab attempt, he will be left open to attack while the Clawshot returns to its original position. The Clawshot can also be used as a tether recovery to grab the edge of the stage and pull himself back up to it. The Clawshot is more efficient since it automatically latches on to a nearby ledge instead of having to fire it at the precise time.
