Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is an action-adventure game featuring a range of abilities and skills players can use to explore the world and progress through the story. One such ability is jumping backward, which can help dodge attacks, navigate tricky terrain, or clear difficult platforming sections.

Jumping is a common mechanic in video games, allowing players to move through the environment and reach new areas that would otherwise be inaccessible. In Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Link can jump in various directions, including forward, backward, and to the side. Jumping backward, in particular, can help evade enemy attacks or get out of harm’s way in difficult situations.

How To Do Flurry Rush in The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

To perform a Flurry Rush in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you will need to perfectly time your backward or side jump as an enemy attacks you. This slows down time, and Link can rapidly strike the opponent. This allows you to deal heavy damage to enemies, especially with the Master Sword, and sometimes defeat them in a single instant. My timing with Flurry Rush was a little rough in Breath of the Wild, so if you are like me, feel free to practice on weak enemies like Bokoblins.
