If you truly want to master playing as a specific character, then you must learn how to use their unique action to the best of its ability. How the Sheikah Runes are utilised is also different for each character. When using the Remote Bomb rune, for example, Link will throw out a series of bombs, Zelda, however, will deploy a device that will spawn bombs as you move it around the battlefield.

When you first unlock him, Link will only be able to use one-handed weapons, but, once you find a two-handed weapon or a spear during a mission, these new types of combat will automatically unlock. All you have to do is select the two-handed weapon or the spear as Link's chosen weapon before beginning either a challenge, quest or story mission.

Depending on which weapon type you chose, Link will be able to use one of three unique abilities. For one-handed weapons, Link will let loose a flurry of arrows. You will also be able to power through a strong attack by holding down the X button and, if released when the attack ends, Link should unleash an extra attack during a combo.

When wielding a two-handed weapon, Link's unique action will allow him to unleash a powerful attack, but, the downside, is that it will cause him a small amount of damage. Thankfully, you can press X afterwards to eat a meal, which will heal the self-inflicted damage.
