Extra-Effective Item Attacks Tutorial picture showing how to perform it on a Lizalfos from Hyrule Warriors Legends
Extra-Effective Item Attacks is a item-based technique used to attack common strong enemies (Enforcers) while they are preparing a powerful attack or performing a certain action in Hyrule Warriors and Hyrule Warriors Legends.
Hyrule Warriors[]
In Hyrule Warriors, Extra-Effective Item Attacks are secret way to knock strong enemies off balance while preparing a specific attack/action causing them to damage nearby enemy units (their allies) and exposing their weak point gauge by using a specific item on them. However it only works when the attack is being prepared.
Hyrule Warriors Legends[]
In Legends, Extra-Effective Item Attacks appear mostly as they did in Hyrule Warriors, though a new additional feature of an icon showing the item required it initiate it will appear over the enemies head when they are vulnerable Extra-Effective attacks, which makes performing the technique much easier as it shows both the item and the point said enemy is vulnerable to it.
