Link does an overhead strike with the Master Sword, similar to the standard vertical slash attack he performs while targeting or walking forward in most 3D Zelda games. Its somewhat slow startup is made up by its high damage (13%) and KOing power, and good range, but it also has moderate lag. It is safe on shield if spaced correctly.
