Switch Hook
Shoot this hook at distant objects to trade places with them. It also works on certain enemies, causing you and the enemy to switch places.

The Switch Hook is a grappling, claw-like item that will switch the position of Link with whatever it grabs. It is obtained in the Skull Dungeon. The item functions similarly to a Hookshot by extending and retracting, however, when Link fires the Switch Hook, he will switch places with whatever it grabs onto. The Switch Hook is able to grab onto most objects and enemies, including objects such as Pots or large diamonds, the latter of which only react to the Switch Hook. After grabbing onto the object or enemy, Link and the grabbed thing will momentarily disappear before switching to opposite sides. Because of this, the Switch Hook is mainly used to cross areas by switching sides, as well as solving puzzles, usually by moving an object over. Some enemies are especially susceptible to the Switch Hook, such as Iron Masks, which can have their masks removed by using the Switch Hook.

There is a L-2 Switch Hook upgrade called the Long Hook found within Jabu-Jabu's Belly.
