The '''Tether Recovery''' is a technique used in the '''Smash Bros.''' games. A character launches something, Such as [[Link]]'s Hookshot or [[Samus Aran|Samus]]' Grapple Beam, which can be used to grab the edge of the stage and pull the character up. In the first two games, only [[Link]], [[Young Link]] and [[Samus Aran|Samus]] could do this, but the Tether Recovery has become much more common in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]. Various characters' moves use Tether Recoveries, such as [[Pokémon Trainer|Ivysaur]] and [[Zero Suit Samus]]. In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], because Link's design and character are based on the ''Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess'' version, the Hookshot is replaced with the Clawshot. In [[SSBB|Brawl]], if a tether recovery is attempted, the tether will automatically go to the nearest ledge.
A '''Tether Recovery''' is a type of [[recovery]] move where the player latches onto the side of an arena with an extendable item. So far, [[Zero Suit Samus]]'s [[Plasma Wire]], [[Link (SSBB)|Link]]'s [[Clawshot]], [[Ivysaur]]'s [[Vine Whip]], [[Lucas]]' [[Rope Snake]], and [[Pikmin & Olimar]]'s [[Pikmin Chain]] are the only confirmed Tether Recoveries. A similar move in SSBM (called the [[Wall-grapple]]) existed for [[Link (SSBM)|Link]], [[Young Link (SSBM)|Young Link]] and [[Samus (SSBM)|Samus]]; however, the difference between the two moves is that a tether seeks out a ledge, while wall-grapples activate when they touch any wall.

An example of the Tether Recovery.

A Tether Recovery is a type of recovery move where the player latches onto the side of an arena with an extendable item. So far, Zero Suit Samus's Plasma Wire, Link's Clawshot, Ivysaur's Vine Whip, Lucas' Rope Snake, and Pikmin & Olimar's Pikmin Chain are the only confirmed Tether Recoveries. A similar move in SSBM (called the Wall-grapple) existed for Link, Young Link and Samus; however, the difference between the two moves is that a tether seeks out a ledge, while wall-grapples activate when they touch any wall.
