Found below decks of the [[Tetra's Ship]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', and in many dungeons, these ropes allow [[Link]] to cross a room by swinging from one side to another, or by swinging from one lantern to another. The ropes work in the same fashion as the [[Grappling Hook]]: Link builds up momentum by consistently swinging on the rope, and thus can be propelled further into the air dependent on how many swings he's completed on the rope before releasing himself. The rope's swing can also be stopped, once Link has grabbed ahold of it, and its direction of swing can be adjusted in the similar way that the Grappling Hook can be set to swing in different directions and angles.

Rope first appears below the decks of Tetra's Ship as introduced by Niko. In a sea-faring test of skill, Niko challenges Link to make it from one side of the room to the other using only the Ropes and platforms provided, serving as a tutorial teaching Link how to swing on Rope. The first time Link completes the challenge, Niko rewards him with the Spoils Bag. The second time becomes harder, and the reward is the Bomb Bag. Such Ropes are also used to great extent in the Forsaken Fortress, as the second level of many of the rooms require Link to Rope-swing across the large gap in the floor to the other side, in order to pass to the next room and progress through the dungeon. Certain areas have vines instead of Rope.
