Attacks and Combos

Attack Description
Base String Link performs a series of sword slashes; a downward diagonal slash from left-to-right,
C1 Link performs a horizontal Spin Attack; holding and releasing the button makes it wider and stronger. Holding the button after any of Link's other special moves has him perform three consecutive, horizontal Spin Attacks with a short forward radius, the third being slightly wider and stronger.
C2 Link performs a powerful upwards strike that knocks targets into the air. From there, he can follow up with three quick sword strikes (Y / B ,Y / B ,Y / B ), or with a Down Thrust (X / Y ).
C3 Link performs a backflip before firing a Sword Beam straight ahead.
C4 Link performs a rising Spin Attack. From there, he can follow up with three quick sword strikes (Y / B ,Y / B ,Y / B ), or with a Down Thrust (X / Y ).
C5 Link charges forward with his shield in front of him, plowing through any enemies in his path, before finishing with a powerful thrust that sends enemies flying. This attack can be performed at any point in Link's basic attack string from the fourth strike onwards.

Special Attack

Link raises his sword to the sky, charging it with energy, before charging forward with a series of wide Spin Attacks. It is incredibly effective against groups of enemies, but is weaker against single-targets.

Weak Point Smash

  • Enemy Captain/Warrior: Link performs a series of wide slice attacks, followed by a powerful forward thrust.
  • Giant Boss: Link leaps high into the air, before performing a downward thrust into the bosses' core that goes all the way down to the hilt.

Focus Spirit Finisher

  • Manual: Link performs a single, forward thrust with a relatively long range.
  • Automatic: Link thrusts his sword to the sky and releases his remaining magic in a massive explosion of light around him, dealing moderate damage.
