Did they state that the Sky Temple, the one demoed, is the first dungeon? I must have missed that.
Ahh, you didn't miss it, it was stated in a separate interview on G4. I watched it live but I believe the video is up on Youtube now:
(I believe it is at about 2:16)

They made a few separate points I believe in the video that are a little bit different than what has been already mentioned. The "Hub" idea for example with Skyloft and the land below, how you can return to the "hub" world to replenish items and the like at any point in the game...I believe that is what they were saying.
I'm really not quite sure what it is. It kinda looks like a whale made in Minecraft or something.
this is just a thing in the demo so players wont get killed, its not going to be in the full gameThe only question I have is how can that be the first dungeon if Link already has so many heart containers? I know SS is doing things pretty different than Zelda standard (hence TP being the last Zelda title we know in that form), but 8 hearts at the first dungeon of the game is a little overwhelming, no?

NEW INFO!!!!
Ghirahim is not the only villain, we still don't know if he's a main or minor villain. He's also the leader of a dark tribe or clan in the world below. He is searching for Zelda for her holy powers. SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS!
Also, there's a romantic thing going on between Link and Zelda. The winner of the bird race gets to spend a romantic night over the skies with Zelda. This is when Zelda gets kidnapped. SPOILERS!!!!!
Still no word on what the bird is called.
Sounds like Zant...oh well...NEW INFO!!!!

New Revelations trickling in!
Ganondorf is HINTED TO BE NOT IN THE GAME. His rise to power is alluded to though.
The NPC's, Skyloft and general character interaction is handled similarly to Majora's Mask!
Link's bird is apparently special and rare, has a connection to the mainland. (Not elaborated on much.)
Ghirahim is a recurring boss fight.
Cool/fun items will be available earlier on rather than later in the game.
WINS ALL ROUND!
