Jump Thrust

In Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, the Up Thrust was an attack taught to Link by a Hylian 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.

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