Spin-Attack



Spin-Attack is the name of Link, Young Link's and Toon Link's Up-Special in Super Smash Bros., Super Smash Bros. Melee, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It involves either Link or Toon Link spinning rapidly with their sword extended to attack opponents. The move can be charged for more power also. The only difference between the two's attack is that Link's Spin-Attack knocks opponents away,while Toon Link's Spin-Attack pulls opponents in, hitting them multiple times. The move can also be used to recover.

Origin

The move possibly originates from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, where fairies granted Link was the ability to spin around with his sword extended to attack enemies. The attack also appeared in later The Legend of Zelda games.
