Create your own sword technique!!!(slim chance of spoilers)

One of my favourite things about TP was the hidden skills you learned from the skeloton dude, (who i say is the spirit of The Hero of Time). They added depth, greatly embelished on Link's character as a great swordsman and gave the idea that Link was getting more and more proficient in his swordsmanship as he progressed through his quest. As soon as i learned the ending blow my mind ran rampant with ideas of all the other moves he would learn. I made up a bunch myself, so here is one of mine to start off:

The Brute Parry

With your sword sheathed and not Z-targeting (or L-targeting, whatever) , press A as your foes attack draws near, where the skill enters one of two variations. Only pressing A will make Link grab the foes wrist and judo-flip him over his head, (which could be followed up by and ending blow). But unsheathing your sword right as Link grabs the wrist of the attacking enemy will cause Link to slice off his weapon hand and behead the unlucky minion in one fell swoop. If there is only one enemy in the vacinity, then Link does the cool twirly-thing sword sheathe automaticly.

So, any other ideas?

P.S. Jump strike and Mortal draw were my favourite skills!!!!!

Air Thrust

You target the creature then you throw your sword straight into them Their is a chain hooked to the back of it to pull it back into your hand.

A whirling attack that draws enemies in, then link leaps into the air for a crushing downthrust. It will either kill all enemies caught in the attack, or throw them away. Kind of an upgrade to the hurricane spin. I call it the black hole thrust. All enemies but those with heavy amor will be sucked in for a multiple attack that does the same damage as a jump attack.

Then there is the sword dance. If you can keep up a steady rythm, Link keeps slashing faste and faster. Soon he'll start doing jumps and parries. If you can keep up, then he will be moving fast enough to slay enemies who play defense all the time. This could be used to introduce a few enemies who can't be defeated unless your'e fast enough to get around to their weak points.

You know that "pecker" move he does in the Super Smash games when you press the B-button fast? I'd like to see him do that move on an enemy in a Zelda game, and finish off with some sort of big slash that sends the enemy flying.

This requres deku nuts, which apparently arent cool anymore.

The Sword Smack (crappy name)

As enemy attacks press deku nut button. Link throws nut in the air, slaps enemy with his sword, lets the deku nut do its thing as it falls down, then diagnal slashes that biach. The result: the enemy goes WTF?!?! BSHEAAAA dead.

I know it is a little farfetched (I practice swordplay as well) but hey, it's a vid game, so I can stretch the rules a little.

Thanks, but don't double post. Just edit.

I'd appreciate it if they brought the fast running pegasus boots in 3D, so we could do the running dash. That's the best way to muscle past enemies in the 2D games.

i think a cool technique would be a sword throw that gathers energy the farther it goes..

bullet stab....[hehe]

Yeah, dude, i guess you can. I was being silly!!

By the way, what kind of styles do you do? I'm realy into asian styles , like kendo and botojitsu. What are you into?

I am an all around type of guy. Love kendo and botojitsu, but I also like modern european styles, like fencing and the like. For me, the lighter the weapon, the easierit is to wield and the faster I am with it. Thus far I have found that the short sword (a kind of rapier) is perfect for me because it is the perfect length and weight for my type of swordplay.

my move would be sweet

name: after math strike

link crouches(not to much)...holds the sword in close(with blade to the side starting at his chest and going out to his right) and dashes through the enemy. he stays in his position the enemy does to. then 5 sec. later the enemy droops to teh ground and he does his twirling sword put awa thing.
