Slash right, slash left, chop, poke, jump slash, spin about. A true professional.
The fact it's imbued with magic that functionally covers his opening while also amping the offensive power of the swing is pretty awesome.
Sounds like you're describing most of Sora's moves to justify his spin attack.
o: cept that he doesn't do anything a random person that can pick it up could do. Spin overhead -> flick.
Again the clone means little. TP had no training until OoT came along, so beating him isnt impressive. He became a pro with a bow and nothing more, he may be a quick learner but you cant use that one thing to say he can lean anything in a second.
Completing OoT's teachings is also optional~
