Launching Arm is a seemingly simple technique used to throw a weapon or other projectile with immense speed and force. Once mastered, the user is able to execute this technique at will whenever he would throw or pitch an item.

When used, Launching Arm causes the projectile to launch with tremendous speed and force. As a general example, a palmable iron ball can be launched with the same speed as a ball made of rubber. When launched by a suitably strong thrower, even a greatsword could be slung clear across a room. Launching an item with this incredible force is particularly exhausting, however, comparable to doing a heavy set of bench presses--and as such it is extremely difficult to perform in repetition.

This treasure is a racial perk for Darknuts. As such, a Darknut can choose to gain it as a perk upon character creation. If a Darknut chooses to gain this perk at some point after creation, the perk costs 15 rupees less than the listed cost.

Trivia

• Other treasures which can be used to launch numerous kinds of projectiles include Seed Shooter and Cannon.
• The Launching Arm treasure does not appear verbatim within the official Zelda series. However, it can be interpreted to exist from context, initially so in Twilight Princess.
