@All, exept the post above:
Well, if you think it doesn't make sense calling it a hook-shot (Which it does, since you hook onto a wall), you gotta ask yourself questions like: What do bombs do in medieval time / zelda, how can it be there's a futuristic bomb not yet created by humans in zelda, that goes forward and can go up walls (Bombchu), how can it be there's a camera (like a photocamera you use to take pictures (Pictograph)) in majoras mask, or how the fuck the people know about the buttons on your controller, then well, you'll understand that the name actually doesn't matter that much.
