The Hookshot is obtained with Adult Link in the Kakariko Graveyard. Open Dampé's tomb, follow his ghost to the end, and collect the Hookshot from the chest. You don't need to break one minute on your first run.
Requirements to get the Hook
You must have obtained the Master Sword in the Temple of Time and awakened as Adult Link. From there, go to Kakariko Village and walk through the village to its graveyard. You don't need to complete the Forest Temple: the Hookshot is obtained before entering it.
How to get the Hook step by step
As Adult Link, go to the cemetery located behind Kakariko Village. As soon as you enter, focus your search on the raised row of graves on the left side ; it is not the royal family's tomb.
Look for the gravestone with flowers or grass in front of it , at the end of that left-hand row. Stand facing it, pull the stone back, and jump through the hole that appears. Go through the passage until you see Dampé's ghost.
Approach Dampé to start the race. You don't have to overtake him : just follow his turns and go through the gates before they close. Dodge the flames he leaves on the ground; if you slow down too much and lose him, you'll have to try again.
Reach the final room and wait for the conversation with Dampé to end. Then open the large chest to obtain the Hookshot. Equip it and use it on the appropriate targets: it won't latch onto just any wall.
How to get to the Kakariko mill
From the chest room, continue to the exit. If the passage is blocked by blue blocks with the time symbol , play the Song of Time to remove them. In areas where a raised target appears , use the Hookshot to reach the exit. The tunnel leads to the upper area of Kakariko Village's windmill.
Second race: Optional Heart Piece
The first run awards the Hook regardless of whether it takes you more than a minute . You can then return to the tomb and repeat the challenge: finishing it in a minute or less will earn you a Piece of Heart . This second reward is not required to obtain the Hook.
What is the hook used for?
The Hookshot allows you to reach anchor points and certain platforms, pull objects, and affect some enemies. It's a necessary tool to access the Forest Temple . Later, you can replace it with the Super Hookshot, which has a longer range.

Hook Location | The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Hookshot Location Guide for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on Nintendo Switch 2. This mobility and combat tool is found in the Kakariko Graveyard, inside Dampé's tomb, after following his ghost through an underground passage. The Hookshot is essential for reaching high places and progressing towards the Forest Temple during Adult Link's adventure.
To achieve this, you must first progress through the story until you obtain the Master Sword in the Temple of Time. When Link awakens seven years later, as an adult, you can go to Kakariko Village and enter the Graveyard, located behind the village.
Once inside Kakariko Cemetery, look for Dampé's grave on the left side. You'll recognize it by the flowers in front of the headstone. Approach the stone and pull it back to reveal a hidden hole in the ground.
Jump inside and proceed through the passage until you encounter the ghost of Dampé, the former gravedigger. Speak to him to begin his challenge: a race through the tunnels beneath the cemetery.
The goal of this first race isn't to overtake Dampé, but to keep him in sight. Run after his ghost, observe which path he takes at each intersection, and avoid the flames he leaves on the ground. Try not to crash into the walls, as losing speed could leave you too far behind.
When you reach the end of the path, a chest containing the Hookshot will appear. Open it to obtain this tool, which allows you to launch a chain with a hook, reach certain anchor points, and pull Link toward them. You can also use it against some enemies and objects.
You don't need to complete the first race in under a minute to receive the Hook. That time is the challenge of a second, optional race against Dampé, the reward for which is a Piece of Heart.
After obtaining the Hookshot, you can continue through the exit passage until you find some blue blocks blocking the path. Play the Song of Time to remove them and access the interior of the Kakariko Village windmill.
The Hookshot is especially important for entering the Forest Temple, where Link needs to reach platforms and high points. Later on, you can obtain the Super Hookshot, an improved version with greater reach.
This individual guide shows how to locate Dampé's grave, complete the race, and obtain the Hookshot in the Kakariko Graveyard.
