The '''Skyward Strike''' is a [[Sword Beam]] that [[Link (Skyward Sword)|Link]] can perform with his sword in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. | |||
==''Skyward Sword''== | |||
Link can hold the [[Goddess Sword]] upward to charge it with the power of the [[Hylia|Goddess]]. After Link's sword is fully charged, if he slashes his sword in any attack, a powerful disc of energy will shoot at whatever is in front of him. The disc will be angled depending on the direction of the slash. A smaller Skyward Strike occurs when thrusting, rather than slashing, the sword. As Link upgrades the sword using [[Sacred Flames]] and Hylia's blessing, the strike will both charge faster and be more powerful, increasing the size & range of - and damage dealt by - a strike. (This is exaggerated in [[Hero Mode]], where the [[Goddess Sword]] charges as fast as the [[True Master Sword]] in a standard playthrough; and the True Master Sword charges almost instantly.) | |||
The Skyward Strike is mandatory to defeat [[Tentalus]], the octopus-like boss of the [[Sandship]]. If Link tries to use a Skyward Strike in any of his battles with [[Ghirahim]], Ghirahim will distort time and dodge it, making it useless against him. A Skyward Strike cannot be performed in the final battle with [[Demise]], but instead Link can charge up his sword with the electricity from the storm Demise had created in his own realm for a similar effect. | |||
In addition to damaging enemies, the Skyward Strike is necessary to activate [[Goddess Cube]]s & [[Goddess Crest]]s, and to draw images on [[Goddess Wall]]s. Link also requires a Skyward Strike from the [[Master Sword]] in order to activate the sleeping [[Gate of Time]]. | |||
