{{Term/Store|Special Attack|Special Attacks|Series, HW, HWL, HWDE|plural}} are powerful attacks in {{HW}}.<ref>{{Cite|Defeating enemies fills your {{Color|HWDE Green|Special Attack gauge}}. Press {{Icon|HWDE A}} to use up your Special Attack gauge and perform a powerful {{Color|HWDE Green|Special Attack}}.|Tutorial|HWDE}}</ref>

All Special Attacks can be performed by filling the Special Attack Gauge, then pressing the Special Attack button ({{Exp|A-Button in Warriors controls|X-Button}}). The Special Attack Gauge may be filled by either defeating enemies, by collecting [[#Force Fragment|Force Fragment]]s dropped by breaking yellow [[Pot]]s or by defeating certain enemies, by drinking a Purple [[Potion]] or greater. Every Weapon class in the game has a different Special Attack, each with unique animations, with different {{Term|HWDE|Element|link|display=Elemental Effects}} applied to the attacks and striking different ranges around the Warrior.

If a Warrior executes a Special Attack while under the effects of [[Focus Spirit]], a [[Focus Spirit Attack]] will instead be performed, which is a much more powerful attack that instantly exposes the [[Weak Point Gauge]]s of nearby enemies, at the cost of immediately ending the Focus Spirit.

Two types of [[Badge]]s affect Special Attacks in {{HW|-}} — the [[Din's Fire]] Badge and the [[Fierce Deity's Mask]] Badge. The former speeds up the rate at which the Gauge fills, while the latter increases the number of segments the Special Attack Gauge has, first to two, then to three with versions I and II, respectively. As performing a Special Attack will only consume one segment, the extra segments can allow a Warrior to use the attack in rapid succession. To unlock the Fierce Deity's Mask Badge, Warriors must first craft Din's Fire II. Additionally, if the {{TP|-}} DLC Pack has been purchased, Warriors may use the [[Apothecary]] to create a Mixture that will cause the Special Attack Gauge to continually refill, for the cost of 200 Bronze [[Materials]] and 50,000 [[Rupee]]s.

[[Adventure Mode]] battles in certain DLC Packs have specific ways to alter the Warrior's Special Attack Gauge. In certain battles affected by [[Twilight]] in Adventure Mode's [[Twilight Map]] of the {{TP|-}} DLC Pack, the Warrior is restricted from using Special Attacks. No Force Fragments will appear, and defeating enemies will not fill the Special Attack Gauge.<ref>{{Cite|Defeating enemies will not fill the Special Attack gauge, and no Force Fragments will appear.|N/A|HW}}</ref> The Twilight, however, can be cleared from these battles with a [[Tears of Light]] [[Item Card]].<ref>{{Cite|You can clear Twilight from a map square by using a Tears of Light Item Card on the search screen.|N/A|HW}}</ref> As well, in the [[Termina Map]] of the {{MM|-}} DLC Pack, using a [[Majora's Mask (Item)|Majora's Mask]] Item Card will fully charge the Special Attack Gauge for one battle only.<ref>{{Cite|Majora's Mask: Use this on the Search map to fill your Magic and SP gauges for one battle.|N/A|HW}}</ref>
