The Switch Hook is a small metallic machine, fitting in the user's hand. It is composed of a handle, a chain of about 10 meters (or 30 feet), and a grasping claw at the end of the chain. When the device is fired, the claw shoots outwards and extends the chain behind it. If the claw makes impact with a solid object, the claw will attempt to grasp hold of the object. If the claw successfully grasps an object or being, and it is of vaguely similar mass to the user, the two of them will suddenly switch places in the blink of an eye, and the chain will be fully retracted during the switching process. If the above condition is not met, the claw will rapidly and quickly retract, drawing the chain back into the machine.

Trivia

  • This machine is a magical spin-off of the Hookshot.
  • The Switch Hook treasure canonically appears in the Zelda series, initially in Oracle of Ages. More information about the canonical version of this treasure can likely be found on Zelda Wiki.
