The ''' | The '''Hurricane Spin''' is a sword-based skill. It serves as an upgrade to the [[Spin Attack]]. | ||
==''The Wind Waker''== | |||
The Hurricane Spin is taught to [[Link]] on [[Outset Island]], under the direction of [[Orca]], in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]''. This skill is noted for its ability to strike multiple times in a circular motion and is iconic for its charge up, the long spin, and making Link briefly dizzy upon completion. It also costs [[Magic Power]].{{Ref|TWW|185|In-game description}} | |||
Since the Hurricane Spin is a longer, more powerful [[Spin Attack]], it is most useful on multiple enemies and makes defeating them easier, at times, rather than combating each enemy one at a time. Places where this is useful include: The [[Savage Labyrinth]], the [[Jalhalla]] boss fight when Jalhalla splits into multiple [[Poe]]s and cutting grass. This skill is also useful for combat with [[Phantom Ganon]], as it reflects the energy used in the [[Dead Man's Volley]] attacks. However, Link must time their attack carefully in order to miss being hit and or missing the opportunity to strike him with | Orca is a sword master who resides on Outset Island. He is the person who initially gives Link the [[Hero's Sword]] before Link departs with [[Tetra's Pirate Crew]] to the [[Forsaken Fortress]].{{Ref|TWW|130|In-game description}}{{Ref|TWW|3876-3879|Orca}} Orca later sends Link a [[Letter]] saying that if Link wants to be a true swordsman, then he needs to return with ten [[Knight's Crest]]s.{{Ref|TWW|107|Orca (Letter)}} When Link returns with the ten required Knight's Crests, Orca explains that he and his brother had always dreamed of learning such a technique, which can only be learned by those able to gather ten of the crests.{{Ref|TWW|702-703|Orca}} He then teaches Link the Hurricane Spin.{{Ref|TWW|704-706|Orca}}{{Ref|TWW|709|Orca}} | ||

While this skill is quite useful in many places, it is not useful for Orca's mini-game, in which Link is told to strike Orca as many times as possible, since the Hurricane Spin here will leave Link vulnerable to Orca and only counts as one hit. | |||
