Orca's Combat Training Overview
| Combat Training | |
|---|---|
 |
|
| Location | Outset Island (B7) |
| Rewards | · Purple Rupee · Piece of Heart · Orange Rupee * · Silver Rupee * |
| Description | Hit Orca as many times as you can with only a sword and shield. Avoid getting hit more than two times. |
*Only available in the HD version of the game.
A Similar Mini Game is Used as a Tutorial
Orca trains you to use a sword early in the game with a similar mini game. However, you do not have a shield, and he does not strike. Orca only pushes you back when you have done the wrong inputs.
You will receive the Hero's Sword after the tutorial. You will not gain any other rewards during this part of the game, but it is best to take note of the controls. This will be vital to playing the game and mastering this mini game later on.
Orca's Combat Training Tips and Tricks
Use Shield After Attacking
Orca strikes faster the more hits you land on him. It is best to land a few attacks on Orca before quickly holding your shield up. Wait for him to land his attacks before attacking again.
Do Not Parry
Parry attacks count as two hits. Since Orca becomes faster the more hits you land at once, it is best not to parry. It might leave you more open to getting hit since they don't always dodge Orca's attacks.
