*It is possible to strike any of the cursed family members with a sword strike in their back, they will cry in pain and be stunned for a moment. When they are no longer stunned they will spin around once, which may hurt Link, and if Link approaches them again they will attack him one time. After that they will become peaceful again. Leaving the house and then reentering also returns any of them back to their normal behavior. | *It is possible to strike any of the cursed family members with a sword strike in their back, they will cry in pain and be stunned for a moment.
