Down Thrust



Originally seen in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, the Downward Thrust was a sword attack taught to Link by a Hylian Knight in Mido Town. It was performed by Link by jumping into the air, positioning his sword underneath him pointing downwards, and landing on enemies sword-first to stab them from above.

This skill also appeared in The Minish Cap.

The Ending Blow taught by the Hero's Shade in Twilight Princess worked similarly, but was only used on enemies that were knocked down.
