Combo Counter

A rather unusual mechanic for a Zelda game, the game keeps track of how many enemies each player has defeated in succession without taking damage.
Do note that the final blow has to be dealt with the sword for the Counter to increase.
Furthermore, the Counter resets to 0 when getting hurt.

Upon reaching certain milestones, the player will be rewarded with gems falling from the sky.
These always fall onto the main Link.
In singleplayer, that would be Green, and in 2P-Mode Green for P1 and Red for P2.

Rewards differ depending on the game's regional version.
