Moveset

Attack	Explanation

C2?	Link slams the rod to the ground, creating a pillar of flame that remains for a brief period. Enemies hit by the pillar are knocked into the air; from there, he can follow up with a horizontal pillar, which he can then split in half and spin around ( / , / ).

C5?	Link jumps up and smashes the rod into the ground, summoning a fire spirit that spins around the area in front of Link before flying away.
