This is a list of characters found in Skyward Sword.

Major Characters

Link

Link-Model.png
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

Goddess Zelda (Skyward Sword).png
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

Ghirahim.png
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

Hylia.png
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

Fi.png
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

Demise-Medium.png
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

Impa-SS.png
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

Groose Concept Art.png
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

Gaepora.png
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

Link-Art-Medium.png
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

Zelda with her Loftwing.png
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. 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 Surface.

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 Crystals. 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.

Fledge

Fledge - Skyward Sword.png
Main article: Fledge

Fledge is one of the students of the Knight Academy. A seemingly shy guy, Fledge seems to be a bit of a push-over. He spends his time idolizing Link, and often mentions how he would like to be more like our hero. Early in the game, while Fledge was cleaning the dining hall, he overheard Groose and his friends scheming to steal 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.

Later, Fledge becomes obsessed with strength training, and bringing him two Stamina Potions at night leads to him giving Link 5 Gratitude Crystals. After 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.

Gondo is the owner of the Scrap Shop. He can repair Link's Shield and upgrade Link's items using the various Treasures 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 lives with his mother, and spends most of his time building things and trying to fix Scrapper. His mother dislikes Gondo's obsession with fixing Scrapper and engineering, and complains about it, and is often seen washing Gonzo's clothes.

Instructor Horwell

Horwell.png
Main article: Instructor Horwell

Instructor Horwell is of Skyloftian descent and spends most of his time at the Knight Academy.

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 Loftwings.

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.

He also states that he wishes somebody would come and demolish "those ugly towers" and send the red monsters scampering away. This could be a hint for Link to bomb the Bokoblin lookout tower outside of the cave to progress through Eldin Volcano.

He initially believes that Link is a monster and runs away from him while attempting to block his path. Once Link traps Plats and catches up to him, he sees that Link has his brother's Mogma Mitts and realizes that Link isn't a monster; he then gives him a Piece of Heart to make up for it.

He later appears in Eldin Volcano during the Song of the Hero quest, after Link is captured by Bokoblins. Plats obtains Link's Mogma Mitts from the Bokoblins and returns them to him, so he can escape his prison. He also updates Link's map with the equipment that was stolen from him.

Gortram is the sole inhabitant of the Shipyard in the Lanayru Sand Sea. He doesn't mind this solitude, however, as he remarks he occupies himself by riding the mine carts present. Gortram operates the Rickety Coaster mini-game, which is unlocked after defeating Tentalus. "Scary!" and "Heart-stopping!" difficulties are offered. Completing the scary track earns various amounts of Rupees, depending on time. Prizes on the heart stopping track include rare treasures and a Piece of Heart.

Lanayru

Lanayru is one of the three dragons. Also known as the Thunder Dragon, he protects the Lanayru Province. When Link first arrives at Lanayru Gorge, he only finds Lanayru's skeleton. After activating a Timeshift Stone, the time reverts to when the dragon was alive. However, he is sick and cannot sing his part of the Song of the Hero. The Ancient Robots try to grow the Tree of Life in a hope that it might help the cause of Lanayru. Link can take the Life Tree Seedling to the Sealed Temple and plant it in the past so that it grows into the Life Tree Fruit in the future. The Life Tree Fruit restores the dragon's health and he can sing his part.

Lanayru runs the Thunder Dragon's Lightning Round after he recovers from his sickness. It allows Link to fight bosses from his past, or repeat Silent Realm challenges. If Link beats precisely eight rounds, Lanayru rewards him with the Hylian Shield.

LD-301N Skipper, or more simply known as Skipper, is located in the Lanayru Sand Sea. Like most other 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 Timeshift Stones are 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 Abysmal Leviathan, Tentalus.
