[It feels good. Perhaps that should concern him, in some way, that these violent acts create such a catharsis, but happily, thankfully, these very acts keep him from being able to dwell on it. From being able to think about anything other than the fight, really, and perhaps that's what feels best. Turning off the parts of him that hurt.
Sometimes, to ease the pain of a wound, you find another pain to focus on.
Link has fought enemies that move like this, and he knows that when they're close enough, you have to hit hard as well as fast, to keep them from being able to move away. Later, he will think long and hard on how he has never fought an ally in this way before.
But that will be later.
For now, there's an elbow at his back, pushing into the soft space between muscles. He grimaces as Sheik pushes him back, but makes as quick a recovery as he can. Sheik is fast; he can get behind his defenses with only a moment's notice. So Link has to up his defenses.
He draws his sword back, tenses, and then launches into a spin attack.]
