[[File:Parryhelmet.png|left|thumb|200px|Link does a parry to slice off a Darknut's helmet]]In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', the '''Parry''' attack is one of several moves [[Link]] can learn from [[Orca]] on [[Outset Island]]. It can be performed by L-Targeting certain opponents, then hitting the A button when the corresponding button icon flashes.  This will perform an automatic counterattack.  Parrying is particularly effective against [[Darknuts]], as it can remove their protective armor and expose them to more fundamental attacks.

Link's in-game movement depends on the opponent, and the attack its attempting to use.  One motion consists of Link rolling sideways to reach his opponent's back, then jumping up and slashing with his sword; this motion is usually used to evade vertical-striking attacks.  The other involves him leaping over his adversary, slashing their head in the process; this is often used to counter horizontal sweeps.  These movements are similar to two [[Hidden Skills]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'': [[Back Slice]] and [[Helm Splitter]], respectively.
