While writing this document, i do not intend to write an entire "article", but its starting to seem like i may have to, to cover my thoughts. This document is about the City in the Sky = Skyloft theory.
While i thought this theory to be extremely far-fetched, with little evidence as to how they could be related, I never actually looked into any articles/threads about the matter, and i dont plan to until this "article" is finished. I want to keep this unbiased, and purely my own speculation. If everything i say here is a repeat, well. I thought of it myself, and i want SOME credit for thinking.
During my Three-Heart Run of Twilight Princess, i came upon The City in the Sky. Right off the bat, i began thinking about Skyloft. But i realised, Skyloft looked lush, had a lot of greenery, was friendlier. The City in the Sky looks abandoned, run down, and is now taken over by Bird-People, Babas, and Helmasaurs. Not the mention other flying creatures, such as Kargaroks, Peahats, and your occasional dragon.
When i came here, i was thinking. This is almost... futuristic. Theres little magic involved, (Although it might be whats keeping those tiny propellers strong enough to hold up the structure.), and everything seems metallic. Not EVERYTHING, but a lot of walls, the doors, everything seems like it uses a lot of metal, especially for its time. The walls have vents, (For reasons unknown to myself), holes, etc. Probably so the air can pass through the "City".
Speaking of which, i dont think this is a "City" at all. The first thing that comes to mind is a fortress, or an army base type building. The reasons are as follows:
1. Cannons. A lot of them. Well, the ones that remain at least. In the first room, look at the walls near the ceiling. This looks like a storage room for extra or spare cannons. Any that were placed outside may have been blown away or knocked off by now, so these cannons are all that really remain. I dont know why the cannon Link uses to leave the City is still there, though.
2. Retractable bridges. They seem like they would be very handy if you were trying to keep enemy forces from crossing, and to pull the bridge out to cross, you would need a spinner, and be on the right side,
3. There arent many places that make it seem like a city. There arent any housing areas, (that are still connected), or anything of the sort that i have found yet.
Other things i thought about include the Helmasaurs, and how a land mammal got up into the Sky and settled there. I believe that the humans that once lived there, had brought them up from the land. Since they seem to be herbivorous, creatures, (It is stated by ZeldaWiki that upon closer examination of the teeth, they are flat. This is a common trait between herbivores) they could have survived all these years on just the grass that grew naturally (And im sure they feasted on the occasional Baba, ;D ) The Helmasaurs would have been used for food. They seem very.. fleshy, they have a lot of meat, and if they were domesticated, (Theyre now wild), im sure they wouldnt be so mean)
Look at a door in the City. At the bottom. Look Familiar? There's an eye. With 4 (5?) leaf-ish shapes sprouting from it. My first thought was a different form of the Shiekah eye, (The one before the tear was added, if the OoT Manga could be considered canonical in this topic?). While looking at it, it also seems to bear to me a striking resemblance to the EyeDoor, which just happened to be in Skyloft, so maybe there is a connection there. This building could have been built before Skyward Sword, and lasted until TP, so the eye could have changed, but the door's eyes werent, because it could have been abandoned at the time.
I do believe i've covered all of my thoughts, ill update this as i venture further into this dungeon. Try not to post too many of your own theories, but if you wish to discredit mine, please do so. I dont want your theories because this is 100% my research, and i don't want to be swayed or think different because of something someone else shows me or says. I want to figure things out on my own for the time being, it makes me feel like a historian that actually knows something NEW, xD
Thanks for reading if you got this far, btw.
