The Clawshot is an item from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. This tool consists of a long chain connected to a discharging claw that Link can fire to either pull items towards himself or pull himself towards certain surfaces, hence the name. It is for all intents and purposes a replacement for the Hookshot that appears in several other Legend of Zelda games. The reason for creating an entirely new item for the game is not known. Unlike the Hookshot, the Clawshot does not allow Link to grapple Treasure Chests, while otherwise it is virtually identical to the Hookshot as far as function is concerned. It is possible that clawshots are of Oocca origin, as one is found in the City in the Sky, along with numerous clawshot sensitive targets. The Oocca also seem to posses technology mechanical technology similar to the clawshot, such as the Sky Cannon, or the numerous propellors supporting the city itself. In addition the previously mentioned Sky Cannon is accessed by Link throughout the use of a Clawshot Tile in the back.
The Clawshot is obtained by defeating the Deku Toad, the mini-boss of the Lakebed Temple. After the toad is defeated, it spits out the Clawshot. Later in the game, Link can obtain another Clawshot in the City in the Sky, allowing Link to fire a second Clawshot when he's already stuck to a surface. The Clawshot can be used to play the STAR Game in Hyrule Castle Town. One Clawshot is needed in order to complete the first stage in the game, while both must be used to clear the second stage.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Link can use the Clawshot to grab his opponents. He can also use it as a recovery item to tether himself to the ledges of a stage.
