THE LEGND OF ZEDLA: REVIVEL

"waves sword around", please don't hurt me, Link said.
The actual movement of the sword swing makes no sense. Firstly, if he 's swinging a sword or knife with one arm, you'll get more of a natural look if he started the swing from the opposite arm. And secondly right now the sword hoes straight down and then to the side. Looks a bit weird.

Part of the problem I see with the sword swing is that the anticipation is pretty weak.

Wikipedia actually explains this pretty well. Think of it like this- before you jump, you bend your knees so you'll actually be able to propel yourself upwards. That's what anticipation is in animation - the movement to 'set up' for your primary movement. Link doesn't look like he's swinging his sword upward so much as he's just... sticking his sword out for a beat before he swings down.

now that doesn't look like an attack but more like a 'hell yeah *raises sword*' kind of action.

I suggest looking for reference animations.

I think it does look more like an attack if he does not raise his sword that high and more in the direction of the imaginary enemy.
Or maybe it is just the problem that he looks so cute. Big Grin

Better! Though I would like to add that the sword he's swinging isn't all that large. So don't add to much force to it.

The last sprite in the animation looks like the sword's randomly changed into a spear..

I thinkl he shouldn't be leaning forward that much in the first frame. It doesn't seem to fit the upward slash thingy.
