The Upward Thrust is taught by a sword master in the town of Nabooru. Nabooru is located in the eastern part of Hyrule, often requiring further exploration after acquiring the Hammer and progressing through the main quest. Similar to Darunia, you'll need to explore the town's houses to find the sword master. He will teach you the Upward Thrust, performed by pressing 'Up' and 'A' simultaneously while in mid-air. This technique is invaluable for dealing with flying enemies such as Bago-Bago, Myu, and especially the Wizzrobes, who often float just out of reach of your standard horizontal attacks. It's also crucial for hitting the weak points of certain bosses that are positioned above Link. Learning both thrusts transforms Link into a much more versatile and dangerous combatant, making subsequent challenges much more manageable.
