Skyward Sword Characters: Difference between revisions

Link is the hero and primary protagonist of ''Skyward Sword'', starting off the game as a young, seventeen and a half years old man living in [[Skyloft]], who attends the [[Knight Academy]]. Each of the citizens of Skyloft has a large bird called [[Loftwing]] that they use for transportation, but Link's is a rare red breed called a [[Crimson Loftwing]]. Link is very close friends with Zelda and they seem to care greatly for each other. Early on in his quest, Link successfully wins the [[Wing Ceremony]] conducted by [[Instructor Horwell]] and this allows him to win a prize from Zelda.

While Link and Zelda are riding off through the clouds, a strange tornado causes Zelda to fall off her bird and get sucked down into the land below. Link attempts to follow, but is blown back by the air pressure and knocked unconscious, saved only by his Loftwing bringing him home. Later, Link is confronted by [[Fi]], the spirit of the [[Goddess Sword]], who then accompanies Link throughout his quest. He then travels down to the land below in search of Zelda. Throughout his quest, he uses a standard set of inventory items that he [[Skyward Sword Upgrades|upgrades]] along the way as he battles through the overworld and dungeons to stop the [[Ghirahim|Demon Lord Ghirahim]] from finding and sacrificing Zelda to resurrect his diabolic master, [[Demise]].

Zelda is a resident of Skyloft, the daughter of Headmaster [[Gaepora]] and one of Link's closest friends since childhood. She rides around on a [[Zelda's Loftwing|Blue Loftwing]], and constantly dreams about what may be below the cloud barrier. She is chosen to act as the goddess [[Hylia]] in the [[Ceremony of the Goddess]] for the winner of the [[Wing Ceremony]], an annual race in which Link is competing. She helps her friend rescue [[Crimson Loftwing|his Loftwing]], and he subsequently wins and joins her in the Ceremony, being presented with the [[Sailcloth]] she sewed herself.

Afterward, Zelda asks Link out on a date in the sky. While flying, a black tornado appears out of nowhere and sucks Zelda in while it throws Link off his bird unconscious. There, she learns from [[Impa|an old woman]] that she is the literal reincarnation of Hylia, and must purify herself to recover her divine memories. While the plans her former self set in motion succeed, when Zelda is reunited with Link in the past, she confesses all Hylia's manipulations and apologises deeply to him. She also tells him that whatever memories she recovered, she's "still [his] Zelda", asking him to wake her up when Demise is dead and she no longer has to stay in stasis to maintain [[The Imprisoned]]'s seal.

Although Link successfully retrieves the Triforce and uses it to destroy the Imprisoned, Zelda's happy awakening is stopped by Demise's servant, [[Ghirahim]]. He captures her and takes her to the past once more, aiming to use her soul to revive Demise then and prevent the events which led to his death. While he succeeds despite Link's best efforts, the old woman sends word to Link that there is still hope if he can kill Demise. He faces him in single combat and triumphs, saving Zelda.Later, while Link and Zelda stand on the [[Statue of the Goddess|Goddess Statue]] alone with the Triforce, she says that she wants to stay and live in the land below, and asks Link to stay there with her.

Leader of the [[Demon Tribe]] and the main antagonist for most of the story, Demon Lord Ghirahim is a tall and slender man with grayish skin and albino hair. 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. It is he who plucked [[Zelda]] from [[The Sky|the sky]] with the tornado. Ghirahim's regard for himself is incredibly high - he prefers to be referred to by his full title, Lord Ghirahim, and he constantly mocks Link's ability in combat. His arrogance is second only to his depravity; Ghirahim enjoys bloodshed and death. He suffers from extreme mood swings and is often cheerful and polite one moment, furious and hateful the next.

Ghirahim seeks Zelda's holy power in order to revive [[Demise]], his master. To that end, he is encountered throughout the game as he pursues Zelda, and Link will battle him several times as well as face his minions before his adventure is done. All the forces of evil on the surface move at Ghirahim's command, and they seek Zelda.  Ultimately, he succeeds in reviving his master in the past, and is revealed to be [[Fi]]'s counterpart as the reborn Demise returns him to the sword form from which he came.

[[File:Hylia.png|256x256px|right]]

 

A massive statue known as the [[Statue of the Goddess]] can be seen looking over the city of Skyloft. Under the statue lies [[Sky Keep]], where the Triforce is hidden. In the beginning of the game, [[Fi]] leads [[Link]] to a secret room in the [[Statue of the Goddess|Goddess Statue]] that houses the [[Goddess Sword]].

 

She had sacrificed her divine form so she could later be reborn as a mortal. [[Zelda]] is the result of this. She regains her memories as Hylia before going back in time and into a coma to ensure that the seal on [[Demise]], the King of the Evil forces mentioned in the prologue, holds until a mortal with unbreakable spirit - Link - uses the Triforce to kill Demise. When Demise is crushed by the Goddess Statue, Zelda awakens but is then kidnapped by [[Ghirahim]], who goes to the past (where Demise is still alive) and resurrects Demise using Zelda's holy power.

 

Link's sidekick in this game is a female-presenting spirit and servant of the [[Hylia|Goddess]] known as Fi. She bears the same diamond as [[Zelda]] and [[Ghirahim]]. Fi was created by the Goddess with the strict purpose of aiding her chosen hero on his destined mission with her vast knowledge. She is the spirit of the [[Goddess Sword]] itself, and its power helps [[Link]] throughout his journey. Fi can analyze readings given off by objects and people to allow Link to use [[Dowsing]] to locate them, and gives him information on his surroundings.

 

Fi acts emotionlessly, speaking in clinical terms and talking of percentages and logical conclusions, almost as though she is a robot. Despite that, she can sing and dance gracefully, and does so as she aids Link by conveying messages left by her creator, the Goddess Hylia, and joining Link in playing songs. She gives Link information about objects, enemies, bosses, and characters, and will also analyze the suitability of Link's inventory for the current area, give rumors, remind him of objectives, and give him plot summaries and statistics. Fi is an invaluable companion and source of information, and she is by Link's side for his entire journey.

 

Following the successful defeat of [[Demise]], Fi is able to absorb the demon king's remains into the Master Sword, ensuring they remain sealed there with no hope of escape. With the journey at its end and Zelda and Link reunited, Fi requests that Link bring their mission to an end by planting the [[Master Sword]] in its pedestal in the [[Sealed Temple|Temple of Hylia]], at which point Fi will retreat into an endless sleep within the blade, despite Link's objections. In her final moments, Fi reassures Link by claiming to feel happiness as she reflects on the time they've spent together, and bids him a grateful farewell in the hope that they may meet in another life

 

 

 

Over many years, the seal began to weaken. Link must fight him in the present of the [[Sealed Grounds]] three times in the form of The Imprisoned, preventing it from reaching the [[Sealed Temple]] and [[Zelda]] sleeping therein. Each time, Link can use the power of a [[Skyward Strike]] to seal him again after weakening him. While Link ultimately destroys it using the [[Triforce]], Ghirahim abducts Zelda to the past and uses her soul to revive Demise in his true form before he was killed, changing history. Demise proceeds to reward Ghirahim by reverting him to his true form as Demise's sword. Link must destroy Demise to save Zelda before it is too late to restore her.

 

A member of the [[Sheikah]], "the goddess's chosen guardians", Impa saves [[Zelda]] when she is cast down to the surface by a tornado sent by [[Ghirahim]]. Thereafter, she continues to evade him and protect her from the Demon Lord. She is a wielder of magic and uses it to defend Zelda in battle, although she is clearly no match for him,  who can break her barriers with ease. Meanwhile, she is curt to Link, telling Zelda to ignore him and focus on her training, and suggesting he is not worthy of the mantle of the hero. At the [[Temple of Time]], Impa defends Zelda from Ghirahim to the best of her ability before Ghirahim overpowers her. Link steps in and saves them both, acquiring the [[Goddess's Harp]] from Zelda as she escapes with Impa through the [[Gate of Time]].

 

 

 

Groose appears throughout the game in different ways. He has a thing for [[Zelda]] and is determined to win the [[Wing Ceremony]] to impress her. He and his lackeys compete very roughly with [[Link]], and try to knock him around to prevent him from taking the bird statue first. A little while through the game, when Link enters [[Faron Woods]], as he is landing with his [[Sailcloth]], Groose yells from above and falls onto Link, causing them both to crash to the ground. He begins to insult Link on his landing abilities, but cuts off when he realizes the completely different world where he is. Groose confesses that he had noticed Link quickly entering and leaving town, and decided to follow him to see what he had been up to, so Link explains where he is and what happened. After what seems like a long discussion, Groose realizes that the tales of the nothingness beyond the clouds that he grew up with were lies, and that Zelda is somewhere in the new, vast world, safe and sound. He names the world "Grooseland", and then tells Link that his journey is over and that he'll take over on saving Zelda from now on.

 

This changes quickly, however, when Link goes to the [[Sealed Grounds]] and must reseal [[The Imprisoned]] again. Groose considers himself useless, and pounds his fists into the wall in despair. From this point on, Groose realizes Link's full potential and responsibility, and acts to him as a sort of buddy, not rival. The next time Link returns to the Sealed Grounds, Groose has built a track-and-catapult like thing that he calls the [[Groosenator]]. It proves more useful and creative than its name, helping to temporarily stun The Imprisoned when he grows arms and starts climbing up walls, and also when he begins to float towards the [[Temple of Time]]. Groose grows fond of the old woman living in the Temple of Time, and refers to her as "Grannie". At the end of the game, when [[Impa]], now revealed as the old woman (Grannie) disappears, Groose shows extreme sadness and despair. This is the complete opposite of his character in the beginning of the game, where he cares only about himself.

 

 

 

 

Gaepora wears a decorative red sash that is similar to the ceremony leader's except that it features four golden triangles, as well as the [[Skyloftian]] bird symbol on its back, and his belt. His robes bear a striking resemblance to those of [[Rauru]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', who credited himself as one of the [[Seven Sages]] who constructed the [[Temple of Time]]. He also has a small [[Remlit]] named [[Mia]]. Similarly, his name brings memory of [[Kaepora Gaebora]], a wise owl (also from ''Ocarina of Time'') who gave [[Link]] hints from time to time when Link is a child.

 

Before the [[Wing Ceremony]], he and Zelda discuss [[Link]]'s skill as a [[Loftwing]] rider. Gaepora gives Link great credit, and reminds Zelda that they've known each other since they were children, remarking she should know Link's bond with his Loftwing. He also mentions the potential jealousy of other people, due to Link's close relationship with his bird.

 

He observes the Wing Ceremony, offering a scolding remark to [[Groose]], one of the students attending the academy. After Zelda is taken by the tornado, Link goes to Gaepora to tell him of Zelda's fate and ask for help. Gaepora, with Zelda being his daughter, helps Link by equipping him with a Knight Uniform and sends him off to find Zelda. Gaepora is a recurring character, aiding Link on his quest many times throughout the story. When Link finds the Goddess Sword, Gaepora finds him there knowing of the sword, saying it has been giving off a strange light. He already knew of the prophecy about the hero but never thought it would come true in his lifetime. He then recites the prophecy, when Fi tells him that what he speaks is only a small part of what it was.

 

 

 

 

 

Link's Loftwing was stated to be a special bird by the developers, and it's unclear if this is the only trait that makes him special or if there is more to it.{{Clear|left}}

 

 

 

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.

Things take a turn for the worse when a tornado is summoned to kidnap Zelda. Both Zelda and her bird are falling down to the land below the clouds, then Link has a dream where Zelda appears to be swallowed by a shadow monster, which turns out to be exactly what [[Ghirahim]]'s (who summoned the tornado) plan is. Zelda's Loftwing is apparently left behind when Zelda goes to the [[Skyview Temple]] to pray and recover her memories as [[Hylia]]. However, it is seen in the ending, where he and Link's [[Crimson Loftwing]] fly off into the distance after they choose to stay on  the [[Hyrule|Surface]].

 

[[File:Batreaux Demon HH - Skyward Sword.png|200x256px|right]]

 

Despite being a large demon with huge wings, Batreaux is really a kindhearted soul. He longs to become a human so that he can stay in the presence of others.

 

Link first meets Batreaux when investigating the kidnapping of a little girl, [[Kukiel]]. When Link finds Batreaux, he initially thinks the demon is the kidnapper, but Batreaux explains his story and he tells Link that he and the girl are just friends, playing "who can scream the loudest". He explains how he wants to be come human so he can fit in without being a hideous monster and the only way for him to become human is for Link to gather all 80 [[Gratitude Crystal]]s. Every time Link collects a certain amount of Gratitude Crystals and shows them to Batreax he rewards Link with prizes, including most of the wallets.

 

Becoming Human - Batreaux's deepest wish is to become human. [[Link]] must collect all 80 Gratitude Crystals in order to help.

If Link completes his side quest, Batreaux can be found in the Bazaar for the rest of the game.

 

[[File:Beedle - Skyward Sword.png|200x256px|right]]

 

Like his future 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. In ''Skyward Sword'', Beedle has a taller and leaner physique and is wearing different clothes than in other games. After hitting the bell on the bottom of the shop with the [[Slingshot]], [[Bow]], [[Beetle (Item)|Beetle]], or [[Clawshot]]s, 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 by powering a bicycle-like machine. His shop carries four items at a time. He sells a [[Life Medal]], a [[Bug Medal]], the [[Bug Net]], a [[Piece of Heart]], three [[Extra Wallet]]s, and three slots for the [[Adventure Pouch]]. His familiar "OH!" sound effect has been carried over from ''The Wind Waker''. If Link leaves after looking at an item but without buying anything, Beedle complains that he works hard to keep his shop afloat and that his effort shouldn't be wasted on him. He then drops Link out of a hatch. Also, if Link sleeps in the "bed" on Beedle's floating shop until night, he will wake up on an island located in a different place in the Sky known as [[Beedle's Island]]. This is the place where Beedle lands his ship every night and leaves from the next morning/day.  At a later point in the game, Link can do a side quest with Beedle that involves getting his special bug back.  The rewards for the quest are five gratitude crystals and a discount on one of Beedle's items.

[[File:Bertie - Skyward Sword.png|200x256px|right]]

 

Bertie is a shy, quiet guy who works at the Infusion Shop, which is part of the [[Luv and Bertie's Potion Shop]] he runs with his wife, [[Luv]]. Luv sells potions that [[Link]] can carry around in his [[bottle]] and Bertie [[Skyward Sword Upgrades#Potion Upgrades|upgrades]] them to be more effective if Link brings him the right [[bugs]]. Their shop is located in the [[Bazaar|Skyloft Bazaar]].

 

Bertie is also a father. He is seen carrying an infant on his back as he stirs his cauldron. After Link obtains the [[Clawshot]]s, Bertie asks him to look for his baby's missing [[Rattle]] because the child keeps him up at night. Link can find it up in a bird's nest because a bird supposedly stole it from Bertie. Bertie thanks Link and gives him five [[Gratitude Crystal]]s in return.

 

[[File:Cawlin2.jpg|200x256px|right]]

Cawlin is a young [[Skyloftian]] boy who attends the [[Knight Academy]] and is friends with [[Groose]] and [[Strich]]. He and Strich help Groose tease and bully [[Link]] early on in our hero's adventure.

 

Cawlin is a short and plump young boy. He often wears a smug face and speaks with little manners. Cawlin is rather self-centered, only tackling a situation if it benefits himself in some way. Instead of leading, Cawlin chooses to follow and act as the first of Groose's two lackeys. Cawlin often follows Groose's example. Even though he shows little emotion, Cawlin later experiences love and, even later, depression.

 

At first, Cawlin is simply a flunky under Groose, meant to be a second or third opinion for his leader. Cawlin impedes Link during the Loftwing competition by first helping Groose and Stritch sabotage Link by capturing his bird and also impeding him by throwing eggs at him. After [[Zelda]] disappears and Link embarks on his adventure, Groose's gang is temporarily split up. Groose locks himself in his room and mourns (later falling to the surface world) and Stritch spends his time at the Lumpy Pumpkin and expands his bug collection, leaving Cawlin to mosey around the Knight Academy's hallways. Cawlin later falls in love with [[Karane]], another student at the Knight Academy. Cawlin asks Link to deliver a love letter for him. If Link successfully completes the task, Cawlin later expresses his love openly to Karane, but is denied as Karane chooses [[Pipit]] instead. Cawlin experiences extreme depression after being rejected, locking himself in Groose's room (which Groose no longer occupies) and cries himself to sleep at night, muttering "stupid Pipit..."  Also you have the choose to deliver the love letter to a ghost hand in the bathroom that "needs paper" if done the ghost will haunt Cawlin at night telling you the letter was so romantic she thinks Cawlin is her true love. At day he will be on his bed complaining of bad dreams while at night the ghost hand will be hovering over him while he scream/whines in his sleep.

[[Cawlin's Letter]] - [[Link]] can decide to help Cawlin with his crush and deliver his letter of confession to [[Karane]], or choose to give it to the bathroom ghost hand.

[[File:Rescue-Knight-Father (Croo).jpg|200x256px|right]]

 

Croo can be found in the [[Bazaar]] near the entrance. He will invite [[Link]] for a drink, and if Link says yes, he will explain more about the [[Knight Academy]]. He says there are [[Rescue Knight]]s that save people from falling off of Skyloft, and tells Link that it takes much experience to become one, adding that his grandson is one of them. If Link denies Croo's offer to drink, Croo will be offended.

[[File:Dodoh.jpg|200x256px|right]]

 

Dodoh is an eccentric character who spends his time on [[Fun Fun Island]] hosting his own mini-game: [[Dodoh's High Dive]]. After reviving [[Scrapper]], [[Link]] has the option to help Dodoh retrieve his missing [[Dodoh's Party Wheel|Party Wheel]]. The Party Wheel is required if Link wishes to play his mini-game. The reward for completing his side-quest is five [[Gratitude Crystal]]s and a free round of his mini-game.

 

[[File:Dovosconceptart.jpg|200x256px|right]]

 

Dovos is the man that can be found in the restaurant area of the [[Bazaar]]. He is a lover of food, especially [[Piper]]'s. At a later point in the story, he discusses rumors regarding a sobbing woman in the [[Knight Academy]], who is actually [[???|the ghost hand found in the bathroom]]. Once Link listens to the hand and comes back to Dovos, he sympathizes with it, saying that he has been in the same situation before, and also assumes that the hand is a person asking to be handed toilet paper.  

 

[[File:Eagus - Skyward Sword.png|200x256px|right]]

 

Instructor Eagus is the master swordsman, knight commander and fighting arts teacher of [[Skyloft]]'s well-known [[Knight Academy]], where [[Skyloftian]] adolescents and adults who have the courage and perseverance to become knights train to do so. [[Link]] attends this academy. Eagus is one of the three major instructors of the academy, his two colleagues being [[Instructor Owlan|Owlan]], the science and history teacher, and [[Instructor Horwell|Horwell]], the language arts and practical skills teacher. He works for [[Gaepora]], the headmaster of the academy, who is also the father of [[Zelda]], Link's close friend. Eagus can always be found in the [[Sparring Hall]], located near the main dormitory of the Knight Academy. During the early parts of the game, Link goes to Eagus on request for a sword. In return, he gives him the [[Practice Sword]] to borrow. Eagus will always be willing to let Link practice in his hall, offering many different obstacles that Link must slash strategically to defeat. He will often encourage Link calling him a fast learner and a good student.

 

[[File:Fledge - Skyward Sword.png|200x256px|right]]

 

Link first meets Fledge in the Knight Academy, where he attempts to move some barrels for the cook. He is such a weakling that he can't do it by himself. If Link chooses to help him, there is a 20 Rupee reward and Fledge's thanks.

 

Early in the game, while Fledge was cleaning the dining hall, he overheard [[Groose]] and his friends scheming to steal [[Crimson Loftwing|Link's Bird]]. Fledge tried to sneak out, but unfortunately got caught, and was forced to keep quiet. Once approached after finding [[Groose]] bragging about the theft, Fledge admits to his knowledge, and directs Link to their hiding place near the waterfall.

 

If Link goes to Fledge's room in the Knight Academy at night, he can find him doing push-ups. He complains of not having enough stamina. Bringing him two [[Stamina Potion]]s leads to him giving Link 5 [[Gratitude Crystal]]s.

After completing the first side quest and receiving the [[Bow]], Link can find Fledge standing around the entrance of Sparring Hall. He mentions how much he has been working out, having done over 3,000 push-ups. Upon noticing Link's new Bow, he asks if Link can show him how good he is with it by hitting the pumpkins that he tosses using his new-found strength for just 20 Rupees. Hitting pumpkins gives Link 10 points, with the number of points increasing with each consecutive pumpkin. Less than 400 points gives Link 50 Rupees, 400-599 points gives Link a treasure to help [[Skyward Sword Upgrades|upgrade]] his gear, and 600+ points gives Link a [[Piece of Heart]].

[[File:Gondo.png|200x256px|right]]

 

Gondo is the owner of the [[Scrap Shop]]. He can repair [[Link]]'s [[Shield]] and [[Skyward Sword Upgrades|upgrade]] Link's items using the various [[Treasure]]s he has collected.

 

This Scrap Shop owner is a jovial fellow, speaking to Link loudly and energetically. He is the owner of [[Scrapper]], and is often ridiculed by the citizens of [[Skyloft]] for believing that Scrapper could be fixed. He tries to fix said robot, but unfortunately to not avail due to the lack of necessary materials. Link, however, provides Gondo with the oils of an [[Ancient Flower]], which in turn enables Gondo to fix Scrapper. Due to Link's assistance in reviving Scrapper, he is permitted to use Scrapper's abilities at his own will.

 

 

Gondo could be seen at his shop during day time. Additionally, it is the location of Goddess Chest #19

[[File:Goselle.png|200x256px|right]]

[[File:Greba.png|200x256px|right]]

Greba is a wise, old woman who lives on [[Skyloft]] with her son, [[Gondo]]. While Gondo leaves [[Gondo's House|their house]] during the day to run the [[Scrap Shop]], Greba is always seen at home. Greba spends quite a bit of time washing Gondo's dirty laundry during the day and frequently complains about her son's constant filthy messes and tinkering with machines, as she always has to clean it up.

 

[[File:Gully.png|200x256px|right]]

Gully is a mischievous young boy. He is the son of [[Piper]], a food lover and researcher. He is fascinated by bugs, with a room containing many framed insects, and wants a [[Bug Net]] from [[Beedle's Air Shop]]. He looks up to [[Strich]] and [[Link]], and teaches Link how to roll near the beginning of the game.

 

While complaining that Link got a Bug Net without him, he also inadvertently suggests to [[Skyward Sword Upgrades|upgrade]] the Big Net at [[Gondo]]'s [[Scrap Shop]].

[[File:Henya.png|200x256px|right]]

 

Henya is an employee of the [[Knight Academy]]. She has worked there since it opened, 25 years previous. According to [[Fi]], she is very spirited and quick to give her opinions. Henya serves meals to students at the academy. Henya is very disgruntled when a student comes in for a meal late or breaks her pottery and glassware.

 

If you sit at one of the tables, she will yell at you for being late to breakfast, and that you'll have to wait for lunch. If you walk over to her, she'll complain about Fledge being late with her barrels. After speaking with Fledge a second time, you can take a barrel over to Henya, who will simply say thanks and mention the Wing Ceremony.

 

[[File:Horwell.png|200x256px|right]]

 

Instructor Horwell is first encountered as Link leaves the Knight Academy. He looks quite similar to [[Instructor Owlan]], the other lead instructor of the Skyloftian Knight Academy. He is Headmaster [[Gaepora]]'s left-hand man, and is entrusted with the academic studies of animals, which he has an interest in. In addition, he quite frequently cares for [[Mia]], the Headmaster's pet [[Remlit]].

 

When Link first encounters Horwell, he teaches Link Z-targeting and dashing up to have a conversation with him. He then promptly gives Link his first side quest - Mia, Gaepora's pet, has gone missing again. Once Link has finished this quest, Link can head over to the Statue of the Goddess to meet with the Headmaster and [[Zelda]]. Afterwards, Link needs to speak with him in order to delay the [[Wing Ceremony]] due to an urgent and unfortunate event involving one of the [[Loftwing]]s.

 

Retrieving Mia - Collecting Mia is a fairly simple task, using the railing above Link's head, the hero in green can shimmy over to the next ledge. Running and jumping allow Link to clear the gap, and then using the climbing vines brings Link up to the next level. Link can't jump up to the next level, however, and Horwell tells Link so if he tries. Link must push the crate up to the wall and then climb up to get Mia.

[[File:Owlan - Skyward Sword.png|200x256px|right]]

 

Before the race he gives Link and three other Skyloft youths the instructions for the ceremony. He attaches a ceremonial bird statue, (brought by Zelda) to a small gold bird and tells the children that whoever catches the bird and claims the statue will be this year's champion. Giving quick instructions on how to control the birds he then goes on to say that the champion will receive a gift from the lovely Zelda. Before the race begins he tells Link and three other Skyloft youths to show him just how well they have practiced. He asks to see good clean flying with no interfering with the other bird riders. Then upon his command the competition begins. He also teaches Link's [[Loftwing]] the spin attack, allowing it to move faster and attack enemies without hurting itself. He seems intrigued by plants and is Gaepora's right-hand-man, to which he entrusts studying and discoveries.

 

[[File:Jakamar - Skyward Sword.png|200x256px|right]]

 

Jakamar is [[Skyloft]]'s handyman. He's a kind and caring man who adores his wife, [[Wryna]], and his daughter, [[Kukiel]].

 

 

 

 

[[File:Karane - Skyward Sword.png|200x256px|right]]

 

 

 

Karane often points out flaws in peoples manners or normal habits. Karane has a secret crush on [[Pipit]], which becomes more and more obvious midway through the game. She spends a good deal of time standing at the back of the Knight Academy's classroom staring at the bookcase and daydreaming about Pipit.

 

At one point in the game, [[Link]] is asked by [[Cawlin]] to deliver a love letter to Karane. Choosing to do so, Karane is confused and embarrassed by Cawlin's letter, not knowing what to do. When confronted by Cawlin who asks her to go on a date, Pipit steps in and reveals his feelings to Karane, who chooses Pipit as her boyfriend. The two remain a happy couple throughout the rest of the game.

[[File:Wryna.png|200x256px|right]]

Wryna is a resident of [[Skyloft]], the wife of [[Jakamar]] and mother of [[Kukiel]].

 

After [[Link]] has placed the [[Ruby Tablet]] into the altar [[Inside the Statue of the Goddess]], he will run into Wryna who is leaning over the wooden bridge yelling out for her daughter, Kukiel. She informs Link that Kukiel has gone missing, and asks him to help her find Kukiel. By talking to people around Skyloft and in the [[Lumpy Pumpkin]], Link learns that Kukiel was spotted with a monster, who opens the shed to his house at night in the [[Graveyard (Skyward Sword)|Graveyard]]. Link can use this information to go to the Graveyard and roll into one the graves, which reveals a ladder that leads down to the path towards [[Batreaux's House]].

 

Inside, Link discovers that the ''monster'' spotted by the residents of Skyloft was actually a friendly demon, who was simply playing games with Kukiel, and not kidnapping her. [[Batreaux]], the monster, tells Link he desperately wants to be a human, and asks him to collect [[Gratitude Crystal]]s for him. The next morning, Kukiel returns to her house, and Link sees Wryna so relieved to see Kukiel safe. Wryna gives Link five Gratitude Crystals.

Gorko is a [[Goron]] and an archaeologist who is fascinated with [[Skyloft]] and the ruins left in the absence of the [[Hylian]]s. He learned of them from ancient texts he found, which are highly inaccurate, but still have some useful information in them. When he meets [[Link]], he is constantly amazed by his magical sword swipes and his ability to activate ancient devices. He carries a [[Triforce]] symbol with him, although it is rarely seen in this game. He sometimes aids Link on his journey.

 

Link first meets him outside the [[Sealed Temple]] in the [[Faron Province]]. He is being attacked by a crowd of [[Bokoblin]]s. He describes the [[Bird Statue]]s to Link, as well as his own version of Skyloft, which he calls the Isle of the Goddess. After that, Link meets Gorko in the [[Deep Woods]], where he helps Link discover how to use [[Goddess Cube]]s. He also later explains [[Goddess Wall]]s and [[Gossip Stone]]s. When Link reaches the [[Temple of Time]] in the [[Lanayru Province]], Gorko visits there in search of more information. [[Golo]] is his assistant. Gorko is seen one final time prior to the entrance of the [[Fire Sanctuary (Skyward Sword)|Fire Sanctuary]]. He is unable to enter due to pillars of fire; Link solves this problem by extinguishing the fire with water.

 

If Link shows Gorko how to draw something on a Goddess Wall near the Sealed Grounds, Gorko awards Link with a [[Piece of Heart]].

LD-301N Skipper, or more simply known as Skipper, is located in the [[Lanayru Sand Sea]]. Like most other [[Ancient Robot|Ancient Robots]], Skipper is only alive and working when a [[Timeshift Stone]] is activated. Unlike the others, however, he demonstrates awareness to the fact that the [[Timeshift Stone]] is the only thing keeping him running. He helps out [[Link]] by lending his boat to aid him in receiving [[Nayru's Flame]]. Skipper originally resided in [[Skipper's Retreat]], but left to explore the sea with his crew. One of the notes in Skipper's house refers to him as "Dad", implying that he has a son. Skipper is a proud captain of the [[Sandship]] that guards Nayru's Flame. It is later attacked by the [[Tentalus|Abysmal Leviathan, Tentalus]].
