| The '''Spin Attack''' ({{ja|回転斬り|Kaitengiri}}, ''Rotating Cutter'') is [[Link]], [[Young Link]], and [[Toon Link]]'s [[up special move]]. The move involves any of the three versions of Link spinning [[Master Sword|his sword]] around in a circle. Though generally not good in terms of [[recovery]], it is very powerful in terms of offense, especially as a [[ground attack]].

| | {{cquote|Perform this in midair to use your momentum to recover.|cite=Melee's manual description}} |
| {{SSB|Link}}'s Spin Attack has nearly identical [[knockback]] and damage whether used on the ground and in the air, with extremely similar animations; however, the grounded version releases a wide, orange-tinted ring of "magic" circling him (similar to charging up a Spin Attack in ''Ocarina of Time'' or ''Majora's Mask''), while the aerial version lacks this ring. Both versions deal substantial knockback, making them good combo finishers. As a [[recovery]] move, though, it is lacking in both horizontal and vertical range; while, as an attack, it has a strictly horizontal [[hitbox]], leaving Link vulnerable from above and below. Unlike in later games, it consists of only one hit when used in the air, being as powerful as it is on the ground, usable as a [[combo]] finisher or aerial finisher. | |

| | {{cquote|Use in midair for additional height. Useful for when you need to recover from far out.|cite=Brawl's manual description}} |
| The Spin Attack returns as Link and newcomer {{SSBM|Young Link}}'s up special moves. While fundamentally the same as in ''Smash 64'', the grounded version no longer produces a wide ring on use, and the user spins much more rapidly before coming to a braking stop.
| |
|
| |
|
| If used on the ground, {{SSBM|Link}} will have a bit more range and opponents will be hit away quite a distance. If hit by the attack near the end of its animation, the hit acts as a [[semi-spike]], making it a useful edgeguard technique. Young Link's version has less range, but will suck in opponents for several hits of damage, similar to the [[Mario Tornado]]. If used in midair, the move is the same for both Link and Young Link: they will spin while moving upward, dealing up to five hits, with the last hit having considerable [[knockback]] to it, with Young Link's version being considerably weaker. The move is greatly improved from the previous game, having larger recovery distance and covering Link from above if used in midair. Both Link and Young Link can grab an [[edge]] backward with their Spin Attacks, but only during the move, similar to the [[Falcon Dive]] and the [[Dark Dive]]. Link can also descend down an edge with the Spin Attack by running and performing it before the edge. The edge of Link's Spin Attack allows players to give their opponents a very effective [[gimp]]; but with Young Link, players would require perfect timing to get the same effect.

|
| The [[PAL]] version of the game removes the semi-spike properties of Link's Spin Attack, making it a less dangerous edgeguarding technique.

| [[File:Link Spin Attack.jpg|Link's ground spin attack in ''Brawl''.|thumb|250px]]
| |
| In ''Brawl'', the Spin Attack gains the ability to be [[charge]]d, but it is much weaker than in ''Melee'' when uncharged. By holding the attack, {{SSBB|Link}} will hold his sword in place for a few seconds before releasing a more powerful version of his normal Spin Attack, similar to a [[smash attack]]. Toon Link also has the ability to charge up his Spin Attack, trapping opponents and dealing multiple hits just like Young Link's Spin Attack from ''Melee''. Toon Link's spin attack is a semi-spike if multiple hits connect, though they exist only to suck in targets for the rest of the attack. The move can only be charged for the grounded version; the aerial version cannot be charged at all.
| |
|
| |
|
| While using the Spin Attack in the air, the move changes to a multiple-hitting attack that does five hits. The final blow has extremely powerful upward knockback, making it a good finisher at the upper blast line. This is an excellent move for Toon Link to finish a string of aerial attacks with, or to KO off the side of a small stage. The angled orientation of the aerial hitbox, especially for Toon Link's version, allows it to hit potential edge-guarders through the stage's edge.
| | The Spin Attack, also known by many Link pros as "The Cyclone", has been a standard move in many [[The Legend of Zelda (universe)|''Legend of Zelda'' games]], its first appearance being ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]''. While usually a basic move available from the start, in some games it can be upgraded with magic to deal more [[damage]] and have a greater range - this upgraded version is typically called the Hurricane Spin. |
|
| |
|
| In a similar fashion as ''Smash 64'', Link's Spin Attack in ''Brawl'' is notoriously poor as a recovery move due to its very low horizontal and vertical distance. It additionally grants almost no momentum if used immediately after hitstun ends, especially if used in the opposite direction where he is traveling, and is also unable to [[Edge sweet spot|auto-sweetspot the ledge]] during its first frames. These issues give Link one of the most ineffective recoveries in the game and are one of the major factors for his bottom four-tier placement. On the other hand, Toon Link's version covers a greater distance in the air than Link's does, able to go from near the bottom of the [[Battlefield (SSBB)|Battlefield]] stage to the ledge without his midair [[jump]], and also keeps more momentum while rising, making it one of the best recoveries in the game. However, if Toon Link uses Spin Attack right when he's running off the ledge, he won't rise at all.

| ==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''== | | ===''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''=== |
| The Spin Attack returns as {{SSB4|Link}}'s and {{SSB4|Toon Link}}'s up special move in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. Despite retaining the Master Sword, Toon Link's Spin Attack has oddly lost its light blue energy trail and instead sports the green energy trail that is produced when he uses the Spin Attack while wielding the [[zeldawiki:Hero's Sword|Hero's Sword]]. Link's version additionally has a slightly different animation where his sword spins at different heights throughout the move, although this is purely aesthetic. Both versions of the move have been [[buff]]ed both in regards to attack power and recovery distance when compared to ''Brawl'', as Link retains much more momentum when activating the Spin Attack and the move itself gains much more height than their previous iterations. An uncharged Spin Attack additionally has greater knockback scaling, giving Link another high percentage KO move, especially under the effects of [[rage]].
| | {{SSB|Link}}'s Spin Attack has nearly identical [[knockback]] and damage whether used on the ground and in the air, with extremely similar animation (the size of the circle made by the attack while in the air is smaller). Both versions deal substantial knockback, making them good combo finishers. As a [[recovery]] move, though, it is lacking in both horizontal and vertical range; while, as an attack, it has a strictly horizontal [[hitbox]], leaving Link vulnerable from above and below. Unlike in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', it consists of only one hit when used in the air, being as powerful as it is on the ground, usable as a [[combo]] finisher or aerial finisher. |
|
| |
|
| Additionally, the [[Hero's Spin]], one of {{SSB4|Mii Swordfighter}}'s custom up special moves, is functionally identical to the Spin Attack.
| | ===''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''=== |
| {{clr}}
| | If used on the ground, {{SSBM|Link}} will have a bit more range and opponents will be hit away quite a distance. If hit by the attack near the end of its animation, the hit acts as a [[semi-spike]], making it a useful edgeguard technique. Young Link's version has less range, but will suck in opponents to deal several hits of damage, similar to [[Mario Tornado]]. If used in midair, the move is the same for both Link and Young Link; they will spin while moving upward, dealing a possible 5 hits, the last having considerable [[knockback]] to it, with Young Link's version being considerably weaker. The move is greatly improved from the previous game, having larger recovery distance and covering Link from above if used in midair. Both Link and Young Link can grab an [[edge]] backwards with their Spin Attack, but only during the move, similar to the [[Falcon Dive]] and the [[Dark Dive]]. Link can also descend down a edge with Spin Attack by running and performing it before the edge. The edge of Link's Spin Attack allows players to give their opponents a very effective [[gimp]]; but with Young Link, players would require perfect timing to get the same effect. |

|
| ==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
| | The [[PAL]] version of the game removes the semi-spike properties of Link's Spin Attack, making it a less dangerous edgeguarding technique. |
| The Spin Attack returns as Link, Young Link, and Toon Link's up special move in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. All three versions have been buffed to connect more reliably and are more difficult to escape, and Young Link received the ability to charge his Spin Attack similarly to his counterparts.
| |
|
| |
|
| Each version has also received updated aesthetics and animations. The Hero of the Wild leans forward more when using the move in the air, and now spins inwards like in ''Smash 64''. The Hero of Time spins his sword at a different height, and the move's ground animation is similar to how it was performed by the Link seen in ''SSB4''. Toon Link shares the former traits of the other two Links.
| | ===''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''=== |
| | [[File:Link Spin Attack.jpg|Link's ground spin attack in ''Brawl''.|thumb|right|250px]] |
| | In ''Brawl'', it gains the ability to be [[charge]]d, but it is much weaker than in ''Melee'' when uncharged. By holding the attack, {{SSBB|Link}} will hold his sword in place for a few seconds before releasing a more powerful version of his normal Spin Attack, somewhat similar to a [[smash attack]]. The attack can only be charged while Link is on the ground, however. Toon Link also has the ability to charge up his Spin Attack, but it is more like Young Link's Spin Attack from ''Melee'', it will trap opponents and will deal multiple hits. Toon Link's spin attack is a semi-spike if multiple hits connect, though they exist only to suck in targets for the rest of the attack. |
|
| |
|
| The sword trails are unique to each of the Links. the Hero of the Wild's sword trail now aesthetically matches the bright blue spin trail seen in ''Breath of the Wild'' and ''Tears of the Kingdom'', the Hero of Time's sword trail now resembles the one used by the Hero of Twilight in ''Smash 4'', and the Hero of Wind's sword trail has effectively reverted to its white coloration as seen in ''Brawl''.
| | While using the Spin Attack in the air, if all strikes make contact, the final blow has extremely powerful upward knockback. This is an excellent move for Toon Link to finish a string of aerial attacks with, or to KO off the side of a small stage. The angled orientation of the aerial hitbox, especially for Toon Link's version, allows it to hit potential edge-guarders through the stage's edge. Toon Link's covers a greater distance in the air than Link's does, able to go from near the bottom of the [[Battlefield (SSBB)|Battlefield]] stage to the ledge without his midair [[jump]], making it one of the best recoveries in the game. Link can reach the ledge by giving momentum with his midair jump. |
|
| |
|
| ==Instructional quotes==
| | If Toon Link uses Spin Attack right when he's running off the ledge, when he falls and Spin Attack starts, he won't rise at all. Link's Spin Attack as a recovery move, however, has very poor horizontal and vertical recovery and his stats makes it worse, unable to gain any horizontal distance at all if he uses it immediately after flinching until he becomes helpless, making Link having one of the worst recoveries in the game. It can also not [[Edge sweet spot|auto-sweetspot the ledge]] during the first frames of Link's Spin Attack. |

| ==Edge Slash== | | ==Techniques== |
| The '''Edge Slash''' is a special technique for Link, originating from ''Super Smash Bros.'' which can be used in all games.
| |
| It was discovered by Lavaris of the SmashWiki community, while the ''SSB'' version was discovered by Antdgar using [[TAS]] exploits.
| |
| | |
| When playing as Link, players should do a quick dash near the edge and perform Link's Spin Attack. The attack's frames will appear, and Link will slide off of the stage, quickly inflicting damage to nearby opponents. Link may then be able to recover normally. The technique is best for quickly racking up damage on an opponent. However, the attack should not be used in 1-on-1 matches, as it is hard to perform and leaves Link vulnerable. The timing of the frames can be difficult to dictate, seeing how most players' reflexes tell them to stop at the very edge so they will not fall off. Also, using the C-stick specials controller combination is helpful when trying to perform this.

| The Spin Attack, has been a standard move in many [[The Legend of Zelda (universe)|''The Legend of Zelda'' games]], its first appearance being ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past}}''. While usually a basic move available from the start, in some games it can be upgraded with magic to deal more [[damage]] and have a greater range. This upgraded version is known as the '''Hurricane Spin''' in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker}}'' and inspired a [[Character customization|custom]] [[special move]] for {{SSB4|Toon Link}}.
| |
|
| |
|
| Via the charging mechanic introduced in ''Brawl'', many iterations of the Spin Attack can be charged up in its home series appearance, though the result varies depending on the game (either for more damage and range or an alternate variation).
| | '''Edge slash''' is a special technique for Link, originating from ''Super Smash Bros. '' which can be used in all games. |
| | It was discovered by ''Lavaris'' of the SmashWiki community. The N64 version was discovered by Antdgar using [[TAS]] exploits. |
|
| |
|
| Unlike his home series, in which he spins around only once or twice with the Spin Attack, in ''Smash Bros.'', Link spins around multiple times.
| | When playing as Link, players should do a quick dash near the edge and perform Link's Spin Attack. The attack's frames will appear, and Link will slide off of the stage, quickly inflicting damage to nearby opponents. Link may then be able to recover normally.

|
| |
|
| Years after the Spin Attack's introduction to the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess}}'', introduced the ''{{s|zeldawiki|Back Slice}}'', a rising sword attack performed in a spinning motion very similar to the Spin Attack's use as a recovery move in ''Smash''.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The Spin Attack is the only special move in Link's moveset that has not been replaced with another similar move throughout the series.
| |
| *The Spin Attack is one of three up special moves that always uses up the character's double jump in ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'' regardless if the player saved it before use, despite the near-universal change across all other characters that allows them to use their double jump after their up special move if they are hit out of it; the other two up special moves are [[Hydro Pump]] and [[Quick Attack]].
| |
| *It took Link until ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' to receive the charging mechanic for his Spin Attack, even though he's been able to do this in his home games since ''A Link to the Past''.
