Information

A Long Jump Attack is a jump attack that can cover a much large distance within a short amount of time. Not only can it can be used to cross large gaps, it can also be used to squeeze through a few tight gaps. The LJA is considered for the most part to be a GCN only trick, since the Gale Boomerang technique (the most versatile method), only works on the GCN. However, the Boomerang-less LJA is used in order to perform the Sword & Shield Skip

How To (Gale Boomerang, GCN only)

1. Either use the Boomerang's R targeting, or aim the Boomerang over a void (See Notes for more information)
2. Throw the Boomerang
3. Pull out your sword
4. Wait for the Boomerang to be over a void/high ground
5. Jump Attack

How To (Any Version)

Lure an enemy (such as a Bokoblin) towards the spot where you wish to LJA and target it Strike the enemy to send it flying in the air, then perform a jump attack while it's still in the air.

Notes

There are two requirements that have to be met in order for the LJA to succeed, which limits the effectiveness of the LJA somewhat:

• The targetable object/enemy must be over a void OR
• The targetable object/enemy must be over an object/solid ground that is at a higher elevation than Link.

As you would expect, the boomerang's gale counts as a target in the GCN version, as the camera "locks" on to it. However, once the boomerang has been released, you cannot move or press any other buttons or else you will lose the gale as a target.

Note that if you aim the boomerang over a void that has something below it (such as some of the voids in Palace of Twilight), the void LJA method will not work.
