How To Perfect Dodge in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
To perfect dodge in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is very similar to parrying. Timing is crucial. You must perform one of the three dodges just as a blow is about to connect. If you have succeeded, time will slow, and you’ll perform a move called Flurry Rush by pressing Y. During a Flurry Rush, Link will rapidly strike his foe, but this state is timed.
It’s such a great feeling to dodge an enemy attack at the last second and retaliate. But remember, timing is everything. It’s a simple maneuver, yet so effective, and it’s sure to come in handy against all the enemies that roam the land in Tears of the Kingdom.
