== Summary ==
The '''Grappling Hook''' is an extremely useful item that appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'' that enables Link to latch on to cantilevered ledges called Grappling Posts, and use them to swing across large distances to otherwise unreachable platforms.<ref>{{cite|Grab this branch with the Grappling Hook and you can swing over there to get out of this area!|Medli|The Wind Waker}}</ref><ref>{{cite|When you aim at a branch that you can latch onto, [Target lock mark] will appear. Remember that!|Medli|The Wind Waker}}</ref>

[[File:Crane1.jpg|thumb|right|The Grappling Hook shifts purpose when used on the King of the Red Lions]][[File:Grapplinghook.png|left]]The Grappling Hook in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' is given to Link as a gift from [[Medli]] after defeating the [[Moblin]]s that had captured her at the summit of [[Dragon Roost Cavern]].<ref name=Wings>{{cite|Here, [player_name]! Use this to get out of here! It's what I used to get this far. It's a device we Rito used before we evolved wings.|Medli|The Wind Waker}}</ref> A separate function of the Grappling Hook is in the stealing of enemy spoils, i.e. a [[Joy Pendant]], a specific foe carries along with them, and the addition of those small treasures to Link's own [[Spoils Bag]].<ref>{{cite|You can use your Grappling Hook to steal their Golden Feathers.|Kargaroc Figurine Description|The Wind Waker}}</ref> The Grappling Hook was said to have been used by the [[Rito]] people before they obtained wings to navigate the heights and upper levels of the mountain on Dragon Roost Island.<ref name=Wings />
 
 
When equipped aboard the [[King of Red Lions]], the Grappling Hook becomes a mechanical crane, which allows Link to pull up [[Treasure Chest]]s from the seabed.<ref>{{cite|After that, all you need to do is use the same thing we use to haul up treasure: one of those Grappling Hooks that the Rito tribesfolk of Dragon Roost Island use.|King of Red Lions|The Wind Waker}}</ref><ref>{{cite|Then, you just use your Grappling Hook while in your boat to haul up treasure!|Salvage Corp|The Wind Waker}}</ref> These sunken chests can be found beneath the clustered [[Light Ring]]s scattered across the [[Great Sea]], or by using [[Treasure Chart]]s.<ref>{{cite|You search for treasure by comparing the specific Island Charts on the left with the Treasure Charts on the right.

===''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]''===
 
The Grappling Hook reappears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]''. Here, it can be used like a Hookshot, and also as a walkable tightrope, and as a slingshot, blasting Link across large holes. As a Hookshot, it acts as a kilter of weight, pulling Link towards heavy objects while bringing light objects to him.<ref>{{cite|Light objects will be pulled
 
toward you. You will be pulled to heavy objects!|N/A|Phantom Hourglass}}</ref> It is used to defeat the boss, [[Gleeok]]. The [[Salvage Arm]] replaces the Grappling Hook's crane feature at sea. In this game, it can also redirect arrows, which is useful for shooting certain types of eye switches that close when Link looks at them.
 
 
==Trivia==
 
This item may have helped pave the way for the [[Clawshot]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', which has some capacity of both the Grappling Hook and [[Hookshot]].
