Jump Thrust

In The Adventure of Link, the Up Thrust is an attack taught to Link by a Hyrulean Knight in Darunia Town. Since the door to the Knight's house is locked from the inside, the young hero must use the Jump Spell to jump from roof to roof and eventually enter the house by going down its chimney. At the end of the basement, the warrior teaches Link his new skill upon talking to him.

When Link uses this skill, 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 other Zelda game since.

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