The Great Spin Attack,(TMC)[1] also known as the Hurricane Spin,(TWW)[2] Hurricane Spinning Attack,(FSA)[3] and Highest Technique,(TMC)[4] is a recurring ability in The Legend of Zelda series.

Overview

When Link performs a Hurricane Spin, he can spin multiple times, prolonging the use of a regular Spin Attack and causing far more damage. It also leaves 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 The Wind Waker and the Game Boy Advance version of A Link to the Past, this powerful maneuver consumes Magic. A version of this move is first displayed by Ralph when he is practicing sword fighting with Link in the ending credits of Oracle of Ages.[5]

A similar attack is also utilized by Zant when he is fought in the Palace of Twilight in Twilight Princess; he is also left stunned after prolonged use,[6] although when nearing death he will sometimes randomly alternate between this attack and his double vertical slice attacks.[7] The attack is also performed by Stalblind in A Link Between Worlds, during the second phase of the battle.[8]
