He said the scene this morning showing Link diving off a cliff into a bank of clouds was meant to be "impactful" because it was an important event in the story.
In this Zelda, Link is a little boy born into a land above the clouds called Skyloft.
However, the revelation prompts a series of events which forces him to go to the land beneath the clouds.
The reason he goes down is in the title--it's the Skyward Sword.
The sword possesses intelligence, and will assume the semi-human form in the teaser poster shown last year.
It's the "master sword."
The Skyward Sword will become the Master Sword, apparently.
The sky is also very important to the game, apparently.
So Link goes to the land and gets the Skyway Sword, sounds awesome, right?
Discuss.
~EDIT~
Shoot, Kaz beat me... Go ahead and close the tread
~EDIT2~
BUT I have some information regarding about Link's life before the events of Skyward Sword.
Link isn't raised in a village. At least, not one on the ground. He's instead from the land of Skyloft, a floating island in the sky. Link only "discovers" the land below later in life, and finds it overrun by evil. He thus spends the game going between his home in the clouds and the land below (hence the "cloud jump" in the game's trailer).
