In 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 Twilight Princess: Back Slice and Helm Splitter, respectively.
