The Clawshot is an item that was featured in Twilight Princess. There is actually a pair of Clawshots.
Information
The Clawshot is a type of claw that is worn on one's hand and attached to a long chain. The chain is extended to grapple onto distant spots. Link can pull himself to these spots and will cling to walls while a claw is embedded in one. When grappling onto a ceiling, the user can extend and retract the chain to move up and down. Once Link has a full pair of Clawshots, one for each hand, he can grapple twice successfully to different surfaces.
Appearances
In Twilight Princess, the first Clawshot was found at the Lakebed Temple, while the second one was located at the City in the Sky. In Skyward Sword, a pair of Clawshots were the sacred item that Link earned by completing the Trial of Wisdom in Nayru's Silent Realm at the Lanayru Desert. In this game, the Clawshots are purely used for grappling onto different surfaces (and destroying small enemies), and they cannot grab distant items or grapple onto ceilings.

Video Games
- In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Link used the Clawshot as his move to grab others (and cling to ledges).
