The '''Spin Attack''', sometimes parsed '''spin attack''' and also known as the '''Whirling Blade Technique'''<ref>''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past / Four Swords'' instruction booklet, page 9.</ref><ref>''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past'' instruction booklet, page 17.</ref> and the '''Whirling Blade''', is a skill used by [[Link]] in several ''[[The Legend of Zelda (franchise)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' games. Its first appearance is in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]''. Link can execute the move by charging his [[sword]] and then releasing it once it shines or glows (depending on the game) to unleash a powerful slash that attacks all surrounding enemies. In most games, the Spin Attack spins in a clockwise direction. Although the Spin Attack swings over a wide area, it does not collide with walls, enemy shields, or any other objects, so it can also be used in tight spaces. Some games allow a Spin Attack to be performed with other weapons besides a sword. | |title = Spin Attack | ||
