Farore’s Wind – Sweet spotting

Farore’s Wind – Sweet spotting
Farore’s Wind, recovery, teleport

Furthering the knowledge from the interactions section, sweet spotting the ledge with Farore’s requires the stick to be in a neutral position when passing the ledge; similar to Sheik. Directional inputs are read as soon as you become invisible on frame 33 (lockout). It is key to use this visual cue when learning to “aim and release” Farore’s Wind. Practice execution until you can perfect the aim and return-to-neutral timing. However; staring at Zelda mid game will hinder your play; focus on reading your opponents actions before you teleport – then dictate the direction you travel.

With that in mind, you can also use Farore’s as a tool to sweet spot ledge moving straight down, similar to Bowser and Yoshi’s Down-B. You must already be facing the ledge to do so; you can’t turn-around Farore’s with this action. Remember the timing: Aim and release (neutral), grab ledge on your way down.
