Hidden Skill: Difference between revisions

[[Torch Slug]]s are the only foes that will prompt a Ending Blow "Finish" without taking damage, for they will emit a burst of flames that will fling Link off before he has a chance to make contact.  Due to the control setup, this also makes a targeted [[Jump Attack]] impossible on a Torch Slug.

===Shield Attack===

Other than bringing the enemy's defenses down, the Shield Attack can also be used to deflect certain enemy projectiles.<ref name=shield/>

===Back Slice===

This technique can also be used when nothing is targeted, but Link will just roll sideways instead of in a semi-circular pattern.  Side-jumping then side-rolling repeatedly is the fastest way to travel sideways, but running and rolling forward is still faster, unlike in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' or ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''.

===Helm Splitter===

Helm Splitter is nearly identical to the horizontal-countering parry seen in ''The Wind Waker''.

===Mortal Draw===

This skill will defeat most enemies in a single hit, and is notably the most damaging sword technique in the entire series in terms of how much it amplifies Link's regular slash.

===Jump Strike===

{{quote|One of the basic sword techniques is the jump attack. It inflicts great damage, but none would call it effective against multiple foes. To perform the jump strike, prepare a jump attack, but focus power in your blade. The surge the blade releases can strike all enemies around you.|Hero's Shade}}

Unfortunately, this attack is harder to pull off than most other Hidden Skills.  It forces Link to remain in one place for a moment to charge before striking, allowing enemies to strike him prior to his strike.  Even after Link leaps up and swings away in mid-air, many enemies will still be able to attack him mid-jump.

===Great Spin===

{{quote|You have at your disposal the basic sword technique known as the spin attack. You now have in you the ability to magnify the power of your spin attack. But the only time you can draw out that power is when your life energy is brimming full.|Hero's Shade}}

The '''Great Spin''' is the last Hidden Skill in ''Twilight Princess''.  This move is a much stronger version of Link's normal [[Spin Attack]].  At full health,<ref>{{cite|I will repeat this once more: you can only perform this technique when your life energy is brimming full. Remember this.|Hero's Shade|TP}}</ref> Link uses a wide-range Spin Attack with a powerful wave for extended radius.<ref>{{cite|You learned the final hidden skill, the great spin! With full life energy, unleash a spin attack for even more damage.|Hero's Shade|TP}}</ref> The difference between the Great Spin and the Spin Attack can be noticed by how the Great Spin's attack radius is red instead of the Spin Attack's light green.
