Spoilers! The Skyward Sword is actually a female purple thing! And the Skyward Sword turns into the Master Sword! Haha, I love how we know spoilers already and the game's not even out 
Anyway, onto my post, which relates my thoughts on why Link and the Skyward Sword girl will probably not be romantically attached to each other in any way [Yes, I know, I know; the game isn't even out yet and people are already starting to talk about pairing characters together. It's fun, ok?] :
In Twilight Princess, the 3D Zelda just before Skyward Sword, Link already had a possibly-more-than-just-friends relationship with a little helper character. It would be strange if the very next game did the exact same thing; people would accuse Nintendo of re-using old ideas (Also, Midna was tough and quirky. Purple Girl looks all frilly and delicate. Unless actually playing the game convinces me otherwise, I wouldn't want her to end up with Link even if it did make sense ):< )
The Skyward Sword turns into the Master Sword, an artefact that all [or is it most?] Links use on their quests. If SS Link was a more-than-just-friend to Purple Girl, then not only would their relationship be doomed, but that would also mean that all future Links are forced to tote SS Link's ex girlfriend around Hyrule. That would be WEIRD WEIRD WEIRD.
Thoughts? Comments? If not a "girlfriend", what will Purple Girl be? a motherly or grandmotherly figure, Link's half-sister, somebody else's girlfriend, too inhuman to relate, evil, terminally ill, insane, Link's pet, Link's daughter [joking... I hope], a figment of Link's imagination, a hologram, none of the above, or all of the above?

) won't have any kind of romantic relationship. Unlike Midna, Purple Girl can't be seen as a female figure, as said by Aonuma once, but rather as a humanoid thing. While I certainly would like the idea of Nintendo implementing a sort of Link's-sister-personality into it, I don't think that's gonna happen. What I do think is that there will be some kind of relationship like TP-Link had with the great fairy, meaning on some sort of meta-level, beyond feelings.
I'm just a regular LinkxZelda fan, anyway. :3 I hope they get together at the end of one of the games. Who agrees? C:
