# '''Shocking Spin:''' Charges the attack with [[electric|electricity]] and greatly increases the attack's damage, knockback and [[hitstun]]. However, the move has more ending lag and its use as recovery is almost as mediocre as its ''Brawl'' and especially its ''SSB'' version, traveling less distance and making Link fall before he finishes the entire aerial move. | # '''Shocking Spin:''' Charges the attack with [[electric|electricity]] and greatly increases the attack's damage, knockback and [[hitstun]].

# '''Whirling Leap:''' Does no damage and cannot be charged, but sends Link up a much higher distance, making this version solely a recovery move. If used on the ground, Link will leap upwards and perform the aerial move. Gives Link extremely high [[air speed]] while the move is active. It also cannot snap to the ledge during the animation. | # '''Whirling Leap:''' Does no damage and cannot be charged, but sends Link up a much higher distance, making this version solely a recovery move.

# '''Sliding Spin Attack''': More charge time but deals more damage than usual. When used, it makes Toon Link slide along the ground like a top in the direction he is facing. Covers more horizontal distance than vertical height when used in the air. If he is still suffering from knockback when he uses it, his horizontal movement will be crippled. Inspired by the upgraded Spin Attack used in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker}}''. | # '''Sliding Spin Attack''': More charge time but deals more damage than usual.

# '''Flying Spin Attack''': Similar to the stock Spin Attack, but on the last hit, Toon Link does an upwards slash that pops him and his opponent up into the air. As a recovery, it exchanges the move's overall vertical distance for a large boost in vertical height on the last slash. Additionally, the upward slash has [[armor]]. | # '''Flying Spin Attack''': Similar to the stock Spin Attack, but on the last hit, Toon Link does an upwards slash that pops him and his opponent up into the air.

*The Spin Attack is one of three up special moves that always uses up the character's double jump in ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'' regardless if the player saved it before use, despite the near-universal change across all other characters that allows them to use their double jump after their up special move if they are hit out of it; the other two up special moves are [[Hydro Pump]] and [[Quick Attack]]. | *The Spin Attack is one of three up special moves that always uses up the character's double jump in ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'' regardless if the player saved it before use, despite the near-universal change across all other characters that allows them to use their double jump after their up special move if they are hit out of it; the other two up special moves are [[Hydro Pump]] and [[Quick Attack]]. | ||
