The Jump Attack is a sword technique that has appeared in every 3D The Legend of Zelda game. Link leaps through the air with his sword drawn, bringing it down to the ground in a strike that is usually more powerful than a regular sword slash.

It usually does double the damage of a normal attack with the same sword does. At the same time, it takes more time to do, and Link is more likely to take damage if he is being attacked when he performs this action. The skill first appeared in Ocarina of Time. Link can not perform this action with his shield out. In the 3D games afore mentioned, Link presses the Z-Trigger, or L button in order to go int Z(or L) targeting mode. In this mode, Link will target intractable objects (characters, signs, enemies...). In most of the games if Link were to press "A" with the sword drawn(usually "B") then he would perform the attack.
