Finally, the full Bow Spin tutorial is complete. There may still be some questions you guys have so please check out this FAQ in this info bar by pressing "show more" below for a couple tidbits. I may upload other clips here and there, but this will be my last full tutorial video. Enjoy!
FAQ's- Q: Does this work with the WiiU? A: Yes. Also keep in mind if its not working on neither switch or WiiU check your attack/jump layout and see if its been reversed.
Q: Is there an advantage to spinning without a bow in your hand? You can just tap B once to remove it while spinning.. A: Slightly, you can B cancel a couple frames faster if threatened, and dont have to press B twice to B cancel out of the spin would be the biggest advantage. Personally, having a bright arrowhead to see where you are positioned in the spin helps, as well as jump cancelling faster into a bow shot since its already equipped. Otherwise, there is no difference.
Q: My double hits are inconsistent! Is there a way to make it 100%? A: No unfortunately, but a big part of double hits is consistent hitboxes, and consistent hitboxes is if they're stunned/getting stunned. Double hitting a moblin with a sledgehammer compared to a Thunderdome Chain with a Great Thunderblade is an easy example, the way the moblins hitbox is positioned while it is getting electrocuted makes it much easier to double hit compared to while normally being spin attacked. This is pretty much the same rule with hinox eye shot stuns, lynel headshot stuns, etc.
Q: What's the point of Bow Spinning if it still uses the same durability on the heavy weapon compared to just normally spinning with more reach? A: With elemental chaining its actually more cost effective with durability Bow Spinning because the constant elemental effect damage is extra damage that will kill the enemy faster, which means less hits required to kill the enemy, which means durability saved. Even better in groups because an AOE shockwave doesn't do just 40 damage to one enemy, its now 80 damage to two, 120 to three, 160 to four, etc., all for the use of ONE durability hit every time. Ice chaining is x1 and x3 damage alternating (x2 consistent damage average output), which creates more damage to kill them in a lot less hits. "A penny saved is a penny earned". For non electric stunnable/unfreezable targets like Lynels its not quite as effective because the double hit does the same damage, just faster, and same amount of durability is used, but the double hit property is the biggest selling point, as a faster killed enemy means less time the enemy is alive, and less chances of getting hit and using more resources. "A good offense is a good defense".
Q: I didn't really get what the cue is for when to press ZR and B during the spin.. Could you elaborate on that? A: There's no "perfect" time to turn the spin into a bow spin, you can turn it into a bow spin at any time while normally spinning. But the absolute earliest is right when the handle is above his head (Technically you can do it even slightly earlier). With elemental chaining, to get the infinite effect you HAVE to initiate bow spin BEFORE you run out of charge, or else your sword is completely out of power and cannot freeze/thunderdome chain.

Then hopefully I can explore a "malice-less" free hyrule.Streaming Breath of the Wild ShenanigansRinHara5aki2022-05-31 | ...The Four - Zelda BotW Cinematic Combat MontageRinHara5aki2020-04-01 | Will Of The Sword, the successor to The Four is on GameSpot. youtube.com/watch?v=twOHhBIR1bY
This is my final video. Calamity Ganon has unleashed his malice upon Hyrule. Princess Zelda holds him at bay, and together, they were sealed away. Her guardian, Link, must use the Divine Instrument to split his soul into four, and do whatever it takes to bring the princess back. Featuring international Breath of the Wild content creators hailing from all over the world, Kleric from U.S. East Coast, CHC Yu-Da from Taiwan, RinHara5aki from U.S. West Coast, and Peco from Japan.
**7:20 onward may contain spoilers those who haven't completed the game. It is a combination of remixed cutscenes, so be warned.**
**While the video is originally 1080p, YouTube compresses and artifacts the footage, so for the cleanest experience suggest watching in 4k!**
Personal Note: This project has been an idea for six months and been in production for four. This is most likely my final big project and love letter to BOTW, until the sequel arrives. A lot of love and care has gone into the production of this montage, with some of the brightest BOTW minds from around the world. I hope you enjoy!
100 years ago, Calamity Ganon attacked. Princess Zelda holds him at bay, and together, they were sealed away. Her guardian, Link, must use the Divine Instrument to split his soul into four and bring the princess back.

Not the greatest at this game (Definitely not Danishbuttercookie or Izaw levels) but I always loved smash so here's something for you guys. This is all on netplay. Hope you guys enjoy.
I'm a little rusty... its certainly been awhile but here's some Yiga murder for you guys. If you guys didn't know already, I had my switch and BOTW stolen last month. Finally got to a point I could play again (Was gifted a switch from my employees.)
Finally got to show off the Banana-cancel flurry rush into stasis-freeze thunderchain (Off of a shield jump reset). One of the most effective uses of the stasis freeze since normal stasis it doesn't conduct electricity, and a normal freeze would just knock them out of frozen status.SSBU - Young Link CombosRinHara5aki2018-12-17 | Some of these are pretty weight/damage percent/size dependant, and directional influence can possibly make or break these, but for the most part these are true combos.
A sequel to my original video, here are some more uncommon things you can pull off in combat in Breath of the Wild. I hope you'll learn at least one new thing here today!

I have been out of the loop for quite some time. It has been a tiring 5 months, and I was hesitant to upload anything if anyone still cared, but I love this game too much.. Also there isn't much special combat stuff in this video, but I hope you enjoy watching as much as I enjoyed making it!

Without You ft. SKYLR by Illenium (Ryan Exley Remix) youtube.com/watch?v=PItO5cxsQTcBOTW: Calamity Ganon Phase 1+2 Kill ComboRinHara5aki2018-02-18 | This requires none of the 4 divine skills. A couple things to this, Phase 2 is only possible on normal mode unfortunately. And both of these attacks are RNG based, as you need a flurry rushable attack on phase one, and the laser right off the bat phase two. Otherwise, this is an 100% kill combo.
This combo is flurry rush - flurry rush cancel to bow - bow shot into stasis cancel - bow - attack - jump cancel into bow - attack.. then parry+parry cancel - run attack - jump cancel - spin attack (timed stunlock) - bow spin.

Also this is a very old video and this is not world record anymore.
Used every trick I could think of to get this time down. Some of this is VERY spacing specific. If I can somehow cancel the Urbosas Fury recovery I feel like I can shave an entire second off. I'll keep working on it.
For those curious the time code is seconds:frames. Botw is at 30fps. The time is counted by the moment the arrow hits the face, to the last spin hit.

You need a great frostblade. Besides that you also need to time your first freeze in the middle of his wake up animation (You need to knock them down somehow), or else they'll go flying away. Perform the no weapon/bow spin glitch, and the frostblade will never lose freezing power because its considered unequipped.BOTW Clippet - Smoking Sick Stylish Lynel EditionRinHara5aki2017-10-29 | ...Zelda Breath of the Wild - 5 Advanced Combat TipsRinHara5aki2017-10-05 | Join the Discord if you have questions! - discord.gg/pVV2sxU
