Skyloft was created when demonic hordes rose from below the ground. In their attempt to take the power from Hylia, or [[Her Grace]], they choked Hyrule of its beauty and prosperity. They caused terror and panic among the tribes. In a war with no end, Her Grace sent up a massive crop of land towards the sky. It was sent even higher than the visible clouds one can see. This crop of land, floating in the middle of nowhere, is known as Skyloft. The townspeople are completely unaware of the lands below the clouds. No one has proposed such a theory, yet Skyloftians appear afraid of what may lie below. | Skyloft was created when demonic hordes rose from below the ground.

They also have their annual [[Wing Ceremony]], in which they use [[Loftwing]]s, a common bird race, to do various competitions. Loftwings are also the means of transportation [[Skyloftian]]s use to traverse [[the Sky]]. Oddly enough, the game mechanics for Skyloft only allow Link to successfully jump off it at designated ramps. If a jump is attempted elsewhere, or incorrectly executed in general, Link will be unable to call his Loftwing and he then ends up being rescued by a Rescue Knight. | They also have their annual [[Wing Ceremony]], in which they use [[Loftwing]]s, a common bird race, to do various competitions.
