Downward Thrust

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.

The Ending Blow taught to a different Link by the Hero's Shade worked similarly, but was only used on enemies that were knocked down.
