Grapplinks are a mechanic in Splatoon 2's single-player modes, Octo Canyon and the Octo Expansion. They also appear in one of the Shifty Stations, Grapplink Girl. They are floating black spheres with flashing yellow lights, a propeller and hooks. When hit with ink from a main weapon or sub weapon, the player is quickly pulled towards them and reach a point just under them before starting to fall down again. Hitting them with the Inkjet or Sting Ray special weapons also activates them, though any Sting Ray that hits it ends upon contact with the Grapplink.
