'''Dead Man's Volley''' is a commonly reoccurring battle technique in the Zelda series. First appearing in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', the Dead Man's Volley involves what is essentially a game of Tennis between [[Link]] and an opponent. This opponent is usually [[Ganon]]dorf, [[Phantom Ganon]], or some other manifestation of the Evil King.

This battle practice was first seen in the battle with [[Agahnim]] in ''A Link to the Past'', though its most iconic appearance was in the battle with Ganondorf in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. The name "Dead Man's Volley" was not officially seen in-game until the [[Cubus Sisters]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'' used the title for their little "game."

Due to a glitch it is also possible to reflect Agahnim's volley with the [[Bug Net]]'s swing, if timed correctly. Some players even prefer the net to the Master Sword.

The Dead Man's Volley occurs twice - first in battle with [[Phantom Ganon (Ocarina of Time)|Phantom Ganon]], where the second phase requires Link to volley back a series of glowing orbs. If he successfully outlasts Phantom Ganon, the boss is hit by his own attack and falls to the floor, vulnerable to sword slashes.

The second time is in the fight with [[Ganondorf (Ocarina of Time)|Ganondorf]] himself. The basics are similar; but once he is stunned, he remains floating and must be shot with a [[Light Arrow]] to cause him to fall and become open to sword attacks. There is also an alternate attack involving a spread of energy, and this cannot be volleyed back in the normal way, although Ganondorf is open to a Light Arrow shot during the summoning animation.
