• The Double Kick : repeatedly

Link performs two quick kicks on the opponent.

• The Multi-Slash : repeatedly

Link does several very quick sword slashes.

• The Parry : for high-guarding hits ; for low-guarding hits

just before being hit to parry the hits that are normally high guarded (stand guard) ; to parry the hits that are normally low guarded (crouch guard). This move allows not to receive guard damages, and let the enemy defenseless to an immediate counterattack.

• The Roll : or when Link is lying down

When Link is lying down, to make him roll backward or forward before standing up.

• The Impalor :

Near a lying down opponent. Link skewers his enemy with his sword.

• The K.O. :

Not really an ability, but we didn't know where to put this elsewhere... You just need to be hit enough in a while to do it... Note that even if you're guarding, you can be KO'd !

• Releasing rupees :

If the customization's options allow it, each time you hit your enemy, he releases some rupees or an item. You need to walk on them once they're on the gruond to pick them. According to the number of hits combo realised, the color and the value of the rupees change. See the "Rupees" section to know more about this... As for the items, check the "Items" section for more details.

• The "KFM" Throw : or or near the opponent

Of course inspired by the throw of KFM, which had given its name. Link grabs his enemy and throw him over his shoulder.

• The Impaling Throw : or or near the opponent

Link grabs his enemy, skewers his sword in his stomach, and send him away with a Tomoe Nage.

• The Air Impaling Throw : or or near the opponent, in air

Link skewers his sword in the opponent and falls on the ground with him ; the opponent bounces while Link performs a backward Roll before standing up.

• The inventory : then during the Taunt

The game pauses, and a menu comes down from the top of the screen to display the objects you actually have. Useful to see what you have when you've chosen to have random objects. To close the menu, press any key (except ). Link's informations are deactivated during this menu (but not the informations of the possibly present other Links).
