 #'''Hookshot''' I agree with Ac2k that a deviation in one iteration does not warrant a major renaming scheme, and certainly not a new article. My reasons are slightly elaborated above.

 #'''No action''' Well, now Link is confirmed to have the Clawshot in SSB4, but it's highly likely the Hookshot will still be used by Toon Link. I honestly think we should just leave it, the name may not sound good, but really, it's just the title of the article.

 #'''No action''' Meh, we have two games where it is a Hookshot and two games where it is a Clawshot. As long as it is able to cover both information about them, I'm fine with the rather awkward title.

+@RoyboyX: How is Hookshot/Clawshot an improvement over the current title? And the title should be based on prominence in the series, not on how many games it has been in. Clawshot looks to be the more prominent version.

+::Hookshot is used by Link in Smash 64 and Melee, and by Toon Link in Brawl and Smash 4. Link uses the Clawshot in Brawl and smash 4.

+:::Exactly how is that more prominent? By the way you've worded it it sounds like ''Hookshot'' is the more prominent.
+::::Well Link has switched to the Clawshot now, and he's the more prominent Link in the series; the more popular Link and the developers probably are more interested in Link, since people are complaining about how there are two Links and Toon Link is disliked a lot in the community.

+:::::While the Clawshot is becoming more prominent, saying "Toon Link is disliked a lot in the community" is irrelevant because the mainspace shouldn't have opinions like that. I'm still supporting no action, as naming it just Clawshot could confuse some people into thinking the Hookshot isn't used in the series anymore.

+::::::When did I say that the article would say anything about how Toon Link is disliked in the community? That was my reason for naming the article Clawshot, and because Link is much more prominent in the Smash series, and even individual games. I also don't understand how anyone would get confused that Hookshot isn't used in the series anymore. The article would also say, "The Hookshot is very similar but is used by Link in Smash 64 and Melee, Young Link, Toon Link in Brawl and Smash 4".
