The '''Jump Attack''', also known as the '''Targeted Attack''',<ref name=PH>{{Cite|Let's begin with the targeted attack. I'm going to bring out some targets for sword practice.

He performs it by leaping forward into the air, then bringing down his sword towards the enemy. The force of the jump forward, the gravitational pull downwards, and the extra push added by using both hands all contribute to a stronger attack. In all cases of this move's appearance, it deals [[Weapon Strength|twice the damage]] of a regular sword strike.<ref>{{Cite|If you have your sword ready while (Z) Targeting, you can do a jump attack by pressing (A)!
