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. | 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]].

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. | Zelda is a resident of Skyloft, the daughter of Headmaster [[Gaepora]] and one of Link's closest friends since childhood.

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. | Afterward, Zelda asks Link out on a date in the sky.

Groose appears throughout the game in different ways. He has a thing for [[Zelda (Skyward Sword)|Zelda]] and is determined to win the [[Wing Ceremony]] to impress her. He and his lackeys compete very roughly with [[Link (Skyward Sword)|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.

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 [[cloud]]s 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 (Skyward Sword)|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. | This changes quickly, however, when Link goes to the [[Sealed Grounds]] and must reseal [[The Imprisoned]] again.
