Its execution varies slightly depending on the weapon used, but it always deals double the amount of damage and creates a small shock-wave upon impact.

In Breath of the Wild, Link must jump manually with the button and then attack with the button to execute a Jump Slash. The Jump Attack in Skyward Sword does the same amount of damage than a normal slash. They can be performed by Z-Targeting, jumping forward and then shaking the Wii Remote. In Skyward Sword, Jump Attacks are one of Link's Special Sword Strikes. Dark Link is also able to perform this move however, he jumps much higher and more slowly than Link does. At closer range, Link will do a more modest Sword thrust instead. The Jump Slash can be performed by tapping on an enemy with the Stylus, but only while Link is distant from his target. While in mid-air, if the player moves the Control Stick in a circle, Link will do a Spin Attack upon landing. Link performs the Jump Attack in Twilight Princess with only one hand instead of two, and this time around less enemies are affected by it. It is much harder to pull off than in other incarnations, but serves less of a purpose now, as the Roll Attack is better at dealing damage from a distance, and multiple regular strikes up close are comparatively equal in dealing damage up close. In Four Swords Adventures, the Jump Attack can be performed by 'tapping' the control stick of a GameCube controller, or D-Pad of a connected Game Boy Advance, and simultaneously pressing the sword button. When both conditions are met, a simple press of the action button will unleash a Jump Attack. To perform this attack in any the 3D Zelda games, Link must have his Sword drawn, and he must be targeting the enemy.
