==Overview==
==Overview==
When {{Term|Series|Link|link}} performs a {{Term|Series|Great Spin Attack}}, he can spin multiple times, prolonging the use of a regular {{Term|Series|Spin Attack|link}} and causing far more damage. It also leaves {{Term|Series|Link}} invincible to most attacks; however, it causes him to become dizzy and vulnerable to enemy attacks for a few seconds after being used, unless he collides with an obstacle during the attack. In {{TWW}} and the Game Boy Advance version of {{ALttP}}, this powerful maneuver consumes {{Term|Series|Magic Meter|link|display=Magic}}. A version of this move is first displayed by {{Term|OoA|Ralph|link}} when he is practicing sword fighting with {{Term|OoA|Link}} in the ending credits of {{OoA}}.<ref>{{Cite web|author=ZeldaAdventures |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_JgJSkLxSk&t=63 |title=The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages Ending Credits |site=YouTube}}</ref>
