'''Two-handed weapons''' are a category of weapons in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''. These weapons are heavier and slower than other weapons but deal more damage per hit. The standard attack sequence lands two hits. If [[Link]] performs a [[Perfect Dodge]] and enters [[Flurry Rush]], he will execute four hits. If the attack button is held, Link will slowly start spinning with the weapon held out, using stamina and landing hits over time. Since Link requires both hands to hold the weapon, he cannot use a [[Shield]] at the same time.
