Tiger Scroll

The Tiger Scrolls are key items in The Minish Cap. They are given to Link by five of the Blade Brothers, after Link successfully learns a new sword technique. They allow Link to review the directions for a technique if he ever forgets how to perform it. The character stamped on the scroll reads.

Although the Tiger Scrolls are treated as key items, only the Spin Attack is necessary to complete the game.

Spin Attack
The Spin Attack allows Link to charge his sword and then release, causing him to spin around in a circle. It is learned from Swiftblade once Link returns from Deepwood Shrine. The charging time can be shortened by training with Scarblade.

The Hyrule Town guards will not allow Link to venture towards Mt. Crenel until he learns the Spin Attack.

Sword Beam
The Sword Beam allows Link to fire a beam from his sword when at full health. It is learned from Grimblade once Link obtains the Flame Lantern.

Dash Attack
The Dash Attack allows Link to dash with his sword out by equipping both his sword and Pegasus Boots, and then using the boots. It is learned from Swiftblade once Link obtains the Pegasus Boots.

Peril Beam
The Peril Beam allows Link to fire a beam from his sword when at critical health. It is learned from Waveblade once Link obtains the Flippers.

Rock Breaker
The Rock Breaker allows Link to break jars and throwable rocks by striking them with his sword. It is learned from Swiftblade once Link obtains the White Sword.

Roll Attack
The Roll Attack allows Link to perform a forward thrust by using his sword just as he comes up at any point in a roll. If Link successfully strikes an enemy, he will execute a Spin Slash. It is learned from Grayblade once Link obtains the White Sword (Two Elements). The move also appears in Twilight Princess; however, it does not need to be learned, and does not have a name.

Down Thrust
The Down Thrust allows Link to perform a downward thrust by using his sword just as he reaches the height of a jump with the Roc's Cape. It is learned from Swiftblade once Link obtains the Roc's Cape. It bears similarity to the Jump Attack, a move previously impossible to employ in the 2D Zelda games.

Great Spin Attack
The Great Spin Attack allows Link to perform continuous Spin Attacks by repeatedly using his sword while executing a Spin Attack. It is learned from Swiftblade I once Link obtains all of the other seven Tiger Scrolls. The timespan of the technique can be lengthened by training with Greatblade.
