Zant uses a similar attack during the final phase of his fight, where he randomly alternates between this attack and his double vertical slice attacks.^[13] Stalblind uses the attack during the second phase of the fight. He charges up the attack and then spins for about 5 seconds before becoming dizzy, allowing Link to attack him.^[14]
