Jump Thrust

In The Adventure of Link, the Up Thrust was an attack taught to Link by a Hyrulean Knight in Darunia Town wherein he leaps into the air and thrusts his sword straight up, attacking enemies directly above him. This is especially useful against flying enemies such as Aches, and also for clearing out blocks in Palaces after getting the Glove. Despite its frequent usability in The Adventure of Link, the Up Thrust technique has not been included in any Zelda game since, and it is unconfirmed by Nintendo as to why.

This move later appeared in Soul Calibur II and the Super Smash Bros. Series, most likely in reference to its original appearance.
