In the three-dimensional games, Link can frequently use the Hookshot to grapple onto higher areas, and a certain icon is displayed if the object or enemy can be grappled. The [[Longshot]] is an upgrade over the Hookshot, because it has a longer reach. | The Hookshot allows Link to grapple onto certain nearby surfaces, objects, or enemies.
