Hyrule Warriors
In Hyrule Warriors, Extra-Effective Item Attacks are secret way to knock strong enemies off balance while preparing a specific attack/action causing them to damage nearby enemy units (their allies) and exposing their weak point gauge by using a specific item on them. However it only works when the attack is being prepared.

Hyrule Warriors Legends
In Legends, Extra-Effective Item Attacks appear mostly as they did in Hyrule Warriors, though a new additional feature of an icon showing the item required it initiate it will appear over the enemies head when they are vulnerable Extra-Effective attacks, which makes performing the technique much easier as it shows both the item and the point said enemy is vulnerable to it.
