Link thrusts the Master Sword upward and keeps it suspended above his head. It is quite powerful and is a good KO move. It has a very long hitbox duration making it impossible to airdodge as long as it stays over the opponent. However, it has moderate landing lag unless it auto-cancels. It is able to true combo from a down throw at high percentages due to being unable to be airdodged, but only the weaker hitbox will hit the opponent. In all Smash games, Link's up aerial is based upon his Up Thrust skill from Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.
