The Skyward Sword is somehow important to the forging of the Master Sword. Exactly how has yet to be revealed.

===Link's Bird===
==Minor Characters==
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.
===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 Wind Waker.
Link’s bird seems to have some sort of connection with Zelda's bird, as the two can be seen flying together even when Link and Zelda are not with each other. Link's bird 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 Bird is a rare breed of Loft Bird that he befriends at some point, possibly before the story starts, in a ceremony. Link's Bird 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 Bird===
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 when Zelda appears to be swallowed by a shadow monster. Zelda’s bird is not shown being swallowed by the shadow monster, therefore we do not know of its whereabouts.


===Ceremony Leader===
===Ceremony Leader===
Line 47: Line 39:


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 flyers. Then upon his command the competition begins.

Then upon his command the competition begins.
===Old Man===
This old man seems to hold some position of authority in Skyloft, slightly higher than the ceremony leader. He observes the ceremony, offering a scolding remark to a troublesome birdrider. 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. The symbol on his back is nearly identical to Zelda's and he may be her father. 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 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 Adventure of Link, The Wind Waker and The Minish Cap.
After Zelda is taken by the tornado, Link goes to the old man to tell him of Zelda's fate and ask for help. The old man, perhaps with personal reasons if Zelda truly is his daughter, equips Link with a green tunic and sends him off to find Zelda.
===Link's Rival===
This fellow birdrider 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 competes very roughly with Link, and tries to knock him around to prevent him from taking the bird statue first.  He also has his friend 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 this competitor as someone who is prone to not play by the rules.  He will probably be trying to rescue Zelda before Link does, but it isn't known whether he will be a help or a hindrance to Link's quest.


===Goddess===
===Goddess===
Line 61: Line 45:
A massive statue of the Goddess can be seen looking over the city of Skyloft. Not much is known about this statue, but it has a real world similarity to the Christ the Redeemer statue that looks over Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

===Servant of the Goddess===
===Goron===
When Link is speaking with Ghirahim in the Forest Temple, the evil lord mentions that a "servant of the goddess" snatched her away before she could fall into his grasp. It was previously thought by many that the silhouette resembling a whale that swallows Zelda up was this servant, but this is unproven and no longer as likely as it seemed. The Servant of the Goddess may also be the mysterious blonde girl who resembles a Sheikah that is briefly seen, but this is also completely unproven, and the servant could be an as of yet unrevealed character.
This Goron looks more like one that you would see in The Wind Waker than in Ocarina of Time.  He appears to be some sort of traveling merchant, away from his probable home on Death Mountain and exploring the wooded area near the Forest Temple.  His purpose is very unclear at this point, though he carries a Triforce symbol with him - the only one seen so far outside of the Siren World.  He may be able to aid Link on his journey somehow.


It is also unclear what the singular reference to "the goddess" means, as throughout the Zelda series there are references to the three Goddesses, as well as just "the gods", but never to a single goddess. Zelda is also stated to be a servant of the goddess, so this other servant may be connected to Zelda.
===Gossiping Women===
These Skyloftian ladies can be seen briefly in several of the Skyward Sword trailers, talking amongst themselves about topics unknown. These characters appearing to be gossiping excitedly, so it is possible they may become a source of information or perhaps comedy relief in the game. Like many of the townsfolk of Skyloft, their importance (if any) is unknown, but it is likely they will be relevant to at least some of the sidequests and character interactions of the town.

===Scrap Shop Owner===
Link’s bird seems to have some sort of connection with Zelda's bird, as the two can be seen flying together even when Link and Zelda are not with each other. Link's bird 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.
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.


The scrap shop owner is a jovial fellow, speaking to Link loudly and energetically. It is possible that he, along with the other townsfolk of Skyloft, will be interacted with constantly throughout the game in other ways as Link frequently returns to the town.
Link's Bird is a rare breed of Loft Bird that he befriends at some point, possibly before the story starts, in a ceremony. Link's Bird 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.


===The Soup Lady===
===Link's Rival===
This woman can be found inside one of the Skyloft homes preparing soup in her kitchen. It's unclear who she is or how important she will be in the story, but she is only of the townsfolk that has a shot in a trailer dedicated to her, though possibly for nothing more than effect. It's likely however that, like many of the townsfolk, she will be involved in sidequest activities and character interaction as Link returns to Skyloft throughout the game. It is possible she may be the mother of one of the youths enrolled at Skyloft's boarding school, though this is only speculation.

He has a thing for Zelda and is determined to win the birdriding competition to impress her.  He competes very roughly with Link, and tries to knock him around to prevent him from taking the bird statue first.  He also has his friend throw eggs at Link to slow him down.

It is speculated that this character could be the "servant of the goddess" that Ghirahim referred to as being the one who snatched Zelda out of his clutches, but this hasn't been proven.

===Potion Shop Owner===
===Potion Shop Owner===
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.

Line 93: Line 92:
Since Skyloft has been stated to be somewhat modeled after Clock Town from Majora's Mask, we can assume that this character, although insignificant in the grand scheme of things, will probably have some involvement in sidequests and other interactions.

Within Skyloft there is a statue of a single goddess. It is unknown how they goddess may or not relate to the three goddesses of series history, but it is likely that this goddess is the deity to which the Skyloftians pray.
