The '''Huricane Spin''' is a sword based skill that 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.

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 Pirates]] to the [[Forsaken Fortress]].{{Ref|ww|130|In-game text}}{{Ref|ww|3876|Orca}}{{Ref|ww|3877|Orca}}{{Ref|ww|3878|Orca}}{{Ref|ww|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|ww|107|Orca (Letter)}} When Link returns with the ten required Knight's Crests, Orca then teaches him the Hurricane Spin. 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, the player must time their attack carefully in order to miss being hit and or missing the opportunity to strike him with a [[Sword]]. While this skill is quite usefull in many places, it is not useful for Orca's minigame, 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.
