After becoming Adult Link in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, a mysterious Sheik will guide you towards obtaining the Sheikah Tool (Hookshot) hidden in Kakariko Village. The Hookshot allows Link to reach distant platforms, cross gaps, access hidden areas, and solve important puzzles. You’ll also need it to enter the Forest Temple, making it one of the most important items to collect. This article will guide the player on where to find the Sheikah Tool (Hookshot) in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
How to find the Hookshot in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Make your way to Kakariko Village and enter the graveyard. Turn left from the entrance and look for a large tree. You will find a gravestone next to it. You can open this grave at any time, so you don’t have to wait for nightfall.
Walk around to the back of the gravestone and stand close to it. Pull the stone backwards to move it out of the way. Once the gravestone is removed, you will see a hole in the ground.
Jump into the hole to enter a hidden underground passage. As you land, you will find the ghost of Dampé the Gravedigger floating near a locked gate. Walk up to him and start a conversation. He will tell you about a special prize he is offering to anyone who can keep up with him during a race through the underground tunnels.
When you are ready, talk to Dampé again to start the race. He will begin moving through a series of narrow tunnels, and you must follow him all the way to the end. Your main goal is to stay close enough so he can keep you in sight. If you fall too far behind and Dampé cannot see you for too long, you will lose the race.
Once you successfully follow Dampé through the tunnels and reach the end, he will reward you with the Hookshot.
