Reported on Discord (with a video): an 8BitDo Ultimate 2, wireless, disconnects right after Link lights a torch. Lighting a torch makes the game ask for vibration, so the likely cause is Hookshot's rumble output knocking the pad off its wireless link.

Related: #1661 (a GameSir controller dropping out on Bluetooth until reconnected).

Please add:

the hid: lines from hookshot_log.txt (beside hookshot.exe) around the disconnect, especially the vibration ones (rmbl / "vibration"),
whether it still disconnects with rumble turned off (the Insert menu's Rumble strength at 0),
how the pad is connected (its 2.4 GHz dongle or Bluetooth) and which mode it's in,
and the Hookshot version.

Thanks for the report. Reports of the same problem are now collected in #2504, which lists this one with your details and links back here, so one fix closes them together and the open list stays readable. Follow #2504 for the fix, and add new details there (or here). If this turns out to be a separate problem it will be reopened.
