Reverse angle boomerang: Difference between revisions

{{video}}

The '''reverse angle boomerang''', named by Maryland smasher {{Sm|B-Run}}, is a trick used with [[Link]]'s and [[Young Link]]'s [[side special move]]. While there is a wider range of reverse angles available to Young Link, a Link player may still find the occasional use for the reverse angle's unique game mechanics. The point of the reverse angle boomerang is to use the fact that when the boomerang is on its return path, it passes through every substance in the game, solid or not solid. Using this method properly can grant additional damage in situations where there is no other way of hitting the opponent as well as grant a degree of psychological control over the enemy player.

== Execution ==

The simplest way for a Young Link player to execute a reverse angle, is to throw his boomerang at as close as an angle as possible to directly down, the boomerang will bounce up and instead of being caught by Young Link, will continue over his head in a wide arch. Link may also perform this type of reverse angle when the ground is uneven or slopes up in front of him at particular angles, but those are very few and much less reliable than Young Link's downward reverse angle. For Young Link, however, this method's ease of use and predictable boomerang path, combined with the speed of the execution, will make this the most useful form of the reverse angle boomerang.

Use of the Reverse Angle Boomerang is required to complete Young Link's Break the Targets.

== Weaknesses ==

The most major weakness of the reverse angle is the fact that while the boomerang is out, one cannot use another one. In many cases this can prove to be a hindrance, especially when the boomerang is off of the visible screen and one attempts to use it on accident. The boomerang, after passing Link, should take another three or four seconds before it disappears.
