Major Characters

Link

Main article: Link (Skyward Sword)

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 upgrades along the way as he battles through the overworld and dungeons to stop the Demon Lord Ghirahim from finding and sacrificing Zelda to resurrect his diabolic master, Demise.

Zelda

Main article: Zelda (Skyward Sword)

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 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 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 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 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.

Ghirahim

Main article: Ghirahim

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 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.

Hylia

Main article: Hylia

Hylia is the only known worshipped deity in Skyloft, and is often known only as "The Goddess". During the prologue of the game, her role in Hyrule's mythology is shown. She was meant to protect the Triforce, passed down by the "old gods". When the land below is attacked by evil forces, she raises an island with the humans and the "Ultimate Power" on it into the sky. She and the remaining land dwellers fought off the evil forces.

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 Inside the Statue of the Goddess 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 Statue of the Goddess, 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.

Fi

Main article: Fi

Link's sidekick in this game is a female-presenting spirit and servant of the 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 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

Demise

Main article: Demise

Demise is the ultimate antagonist of Skyward Sword, and the master of Demon Lord Ghirahim. During the war over the Triforce, the goddess Hylia managed to seal Demise within the Sealed Grounds with a spike. As a result, he lost his true form and he was turned into an abomination, known as The Imprisoned.

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.

Impa

Main article: Impa

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.

Thereafter, she can be found watching over Zelda in the past of the Temple of Hylia, as Zelda goes into stasis to maintain the seal on The Imprisoned's and prevent its escape. After Demise's defeat, but before they return to the present, Zelda asks Impa to come with them. Impa says she can't because the past is her present, but she promises that they will see each other again. Back in Zelda's present, the old woman reveals herself to be an aged Impa before dying, her promise finally fulfilled.

Groose

Main article: Groose

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

Main article: Gaepora

Gaepora is the headmaster of the Knight Academy, and Zelda's father. He seems to hold an even higher position of authority in Skyloft.

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. He also has a small Remlit named Mia. His robes bear a striking resemblance to those of Rauru from Ocarina of Time, who credited himself as one of the Seven Sages who constructed a later Temple of Time, while his name recalls Rauru's alternate form, Kaepora Gaebora, a wise owl 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.

Crimson Loftwing

Main article: Crimson Loftwing

The Crimson Loftwing is Link's feathery friend is his mode of transportation when traveling amongst the clouds know as a Loftwing. Link can leap off ledges and call his bird as he falls. Link's Loftwing 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.

Link's Loftwing seems to have some sort of connection with Zelda's Loftwing, as the two can be seen flying together even when Link and Zelda are not with each other. Link's Loftwing can hold more than one passenger at a time, as Link and Zelda are both riding on the bird simultaneously at one part in the game.

Link's Loftwing is a rare breed of Loftwing, being bright crimson in color. Link, like all Skyloftian Loftwing riders, befriended his bird as a child or young adolescent. According to Gaepora, Link and his bird possess a bond like no other in Skyloft, as Link was able to fly with ease when he first met his Loftwing, which is something that even Zelda was jealous of.

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.

Zelda's Loftwing

Main article: Zelda's Loftwing

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.
