There was a reason Link had chosen to fight with a club rather than a bladed weapon; he knew exactly how much damage he could do. And he hadn't hit at full strength - but neither had he completely pulled his punches. She was a warrior, like him; he wouldn't disrespect her by treating her like she couldn't handle a hit.
Now, he nods. Yes, with a bladed weapon - and against a true enemy - this particular technique could do some serious damage. Not only had he won battles with it, there had been times when it had turned around a fight entirely.
Then, he reaches into the small pack at his side, and pulls out a honeyed apple. He holds it out towards her. She might not be showing her pain on her face, but Link can make an educated guess regardless. And hey, food always makes him feel better.
