Link: One-Handed Weapons - Tips and Strategy Guide

This challenge is a fairly straightforward one where Link is tasked to defeat 300 Enemies. The difficulty lies in the efficiency of defeating these enemies so if you are having trouble, read on!

Stay on One General Area

The Hylian Soldiers will naturally approach you during the whole challenge. We suggest sticking to the road near the two pillars as this is the center of all enemy spawns. Do not deviate from this area as this will cost you precious time.

Use Link's YYYYX combo

Link's YYYYX combo finishes with a large circular motion that rounds up soldiers in its center which enables Link to more efficiently defeat them.

Also, this launches Link in the air which gives you a choice to paraglide (B Button) allowing Link to traverse the battlefield faster when need be.

Link Usage Guide, Builds, Combos, and How to Unlock

Do not Ignore the Hylian Captains

Defeat the Hylian Captains when given the opportunity. After defeating each one, more Hylian Soldiers will appear making your job easier!

Over-Level Link

If you are still having difficulty, we suggest over-leveling Link by grinding EXP on other easier challenges or using the Military Training Camp. We suggest going 5 to 10 levels above the recommended!

How to Level Up Fast

Decrease the Difficulty to Easy

If you are really stuck and at the end of your wits, we suggest toning down the difficulty to Easy. Enemies are faster to defeat in this difficulty so the problem with the time constraint may be solved.

Of course, you can always change the difficulty back afterward!
