Skyward Sword Characters: Difference between revisions

== Major Characters ==

=== Link ===

{{Main|Link}}

Link is the hero of Skyward Sword, starting off the game as a young man living in Skyloft who attends a Knight Academy. Link is dressed with boots, green pants, and a sweatshirt, not unlike the rest of the citizens of Skyloft. He is a very active young lad who goes skydiving and bird riding to impress Zelda and his other classmates. Each of the citizens of Skyloft have large birds that they use for transportation, but Link has a rare red bird that he befriends early on. Link is very close friends with Zelda and they seem to care greatly for each other. Early on in his quest, Link successfully wins a bird race conducted by the Ceremony Leader and this allows him to win a prize from Zelda.

=== Zelda ===

{{Main|Zelda}}

Zelda is a resident of Skyloft, a classmate of Link and one of his closest friends. It is obvious from very early on that Zelda has a thing for Link. She too enjoys soaring through the clouds on top of her own bird. Despite being a normal girl in the town, Zelda seems to have some special status amongst the people of Skyloft. Early on in the game, Zelda gives out a prize to whomever wins the flight race.  

=== Ghirahim ===

{{Main|Ghirahim}}

One of the game's antagonists, the demon Ghirahim is a tall and slender man with grayish skin and albino hair. His bodysuit and mantle are decorated with diamond patterns. He is skilled in the ways of magic, his sorcerous powers allowing him to teleport, conjure knives, and summon a distinct black sabre with which he is incredibly skilled.  

=== Hylia ===

{{Main|Hylia}}

The people of Skyloft appear to worship only one goddess, and have no knowledge of the Triforce. This goddess is also known by Ghirahim, the Demon Lord of the land below. She sends her servant to save Zelda from Ghirahim's grasp.

=== Fi ===

{{Main|Fi}}

Link's sidekick in this game appears as a female spirit-like entity called Fi. Both her and Zelda bear the same diamond crest on their chests. She is first encountered in a dream when she appears from the sky above Link as he is falling to the land below. Later he sees her and chases her around Skyloft until she leads him to the Goddess Statue revealing a secret room housing the Goddess Sword. Her origins are a mystery. With her advising and aiding him Link journeys to the Forest Temple, where he fights Ghirahim. The Demon Lord himself states that the Goddess Sword is the only thing that kept Link alive during their fight.  

<!--This could stand further organization.-->

=== Batreaux ===

{{Main|Batreaux}}

{{Clear}}

=== Beedle ===

{{Main|Beedle}}

Like his previous incarnations, Beedle is a shop owner and sells a wide variety of very useful items, only this time, he sets up business in a floating wooden shop. Link can grab onto a rope and be pulled up to the shop via a pulley mechanism. The inside of Beedle's shop is covered in large gears, which Beedle keeps spinning via a bicycle-like machine. His shop carries four items at any time, ranging from item-carrying pouches to pieces of heart. His familiar "OH" sound effect has been carried over from The Wind Waker.

=== Bertie ===

{{Main|Bertie}}

Like in previous games, the Potion Shop owner can make and sell potions for Link to carry around in his bottle. His shop is located in the Skyloft Bazaar. This particular potion shop owner also seems to be a parent, carrying an infant on his back as he stirs his cauldron. He can also upgrade Link's potions to make them stronger if Link can pay the rupee cost as well as bring him the required types and number of insects.

=== Cawlin ===

{{Main|Cawlin}}

{{Clear}}

=== Crimson Loftwing ===

{{Main|Crimson Loftwing}}

Link's feathery friend is his mode of transportation when traveling amongst the clouds. Link can leap off ledges and call his bird as he falls. Link's bird will swoop right underneath him giving Link a perfect landing spot. Link can use his bird to travel between the various islands in the sky.

=== Gaepora ===

{{Main|Gaepora}}

Gaepora is the headmaster of the knight academy but seems to hold an even higher position of authority in Skyloft, slightly higher than the ceremony leader. He observes the ceremony, offering a scolding remark to Groose. His decorative red sash is similar to the ceremony leader's except that it features four golden triangles, as well as the Skyloftian bird symbol on its back. His belt also has a bird design. Gaepora is Zelda's father and has a symbol on his back almost identical to hers. His robes bear a striking resemblance to those of Rauru, who credited himself as one of the ancient Sages who constructed the Temple of Time. He also has long eyebrows and laughs with a "Hoo Hoo Hoo" much like Kaepora Gaebora, said to be a reincarnation of an ancient Sage. Some even think he resembles the Kings of Hyrule who appears in The Adventure of Link, The Wind Waker and The Minish Cap.

=== Gondo ===

{{Main|Gondo}}

Judging by the wrench on his family or personal crest, this man is a mechanic by trade. He runs the Scrap Shop in the Bazaar where he will upgrade most of Link's equipment throughout the game using items link acquires killing enemies throughout the game. He can also repair Link's shield.

=== Goselle ===

{{Main|Goselle}}

=== Greba ===

=== Groose ===

{{Main|Groose}}

Groose appears throughout the game in different ways. He has a thing for Zelda and is determined to win the birdriding competition to impress her. He and his lackeys compete very roughly with Link, and tries to knock him around to prevent him from taking the bird statue first. He also has his lackeys, Cawlin and Stritch throw eggs at Link to slow him down. The ceremony leader specifically warned against this behavior just before the contest began, and the old man singled out Groose as someone who is prone to not play by the rules. He will probably be trying to rescue Zelda before Link does, but it is not known whether he will be a help or a hindrance to Link's quest.

=== Instructor Owlan ===

{{Main|Instructor Owlan}}

The Ceremony Leader is first seen standing next to the old man at the beginning of the Bird Rider's Ceremony. Wearing a decorative blue sash across his shoulders similar to that of the old man he seems to be an authority on bird riding. Presumably the instructor of the skill of birdriding to the youths of Skyloft and overseer of the race.

Much like Link, Zelda has her own feathery friend to ride on when adventuring above the clouds. Zelda will leap off the ledge and land on top of her bird, just like all the other folks in Skyloft do. Whenever Zelda is seen flying, she always has her bluish-purple friend nearby.
