Skyward Sword Theories

Joined
Jan 11, 2011
Many people have their theories about the new upcoming game, Skyward Sword. Everyone's theories are different and feel free to put your ideas in the comments. Personally I think that Skyward Sword isn't at the beginning at the timeline, but I believe Miyamoto said it is before Ocarina of Time. I think there wont be any major settlements, because the world is gonna be overrun by evil and monsters. I think there will be some little settlements around Hyrule, or maybe some travelers. Since the Skyward Sword is going to turn into the Master Sword and in the next game, OoT, it's going to get into the Temple of Time somehow. Unless the Temple of Time is in Skyward Sword and Link places the Master Sword in the pedestal at the end of the game, which would be an awesome cut scene, there has to be some way it gets there. The Temple of Time being in the game is highly improbable. Also at the end of the game something must happen at the end of Skyward Sword to where the Master Sword gets lost and later found again or placed somewhere for someone to discover it. I really don't know and there are many ways this could go. Say what you think in the comment section.
Think differently? Have questions? Have any opinions? Leave it below! Comment Question for today- Do you think it's any odd coincidence that the Song of Healing is Saria's Sing backwards?

You noticed that too? No I don't think it's a coincidence that the Song of Healing is Saria's Song backwards.

On topic, you do have a point. The Skyward Sword(Master Sword) would have to end up in the Temple of Time somehow. I don't think Link will put it there. Unless the Pestadel of Time is what turns the Skyward Sword into the Master Sword. I could see that happening in SS. It seems like a real enough possibility. That's my theory.

(moved from SS section, as it deals with theories, specifically timeline-related ones, and connects to other games)

If SS is not at the beginning, but is before OoT, do you place MC at the beginning?

The land below is not merely overrun with evil, it was conquered and is ruled by evil. I think we will see at least one semi-major settlement and several minor ones. It's hard to rule nothing from nowhere.

I agree that having a scene about the PoT would be epic. It's not certain whether the SS will become the MS during this game or after it. I don't see a reason for it to be lost or for the appearence of the ToT being unlikely, so could you explain yourself there?

Don't forget that there were only four buttons used for the Ocarina controls; any patterns witnessed are probably not indicative of any cryptic message, because overlap between four buttons is extremely probable. The pitch of the notes produced by the Ocarina are also different, because the key that each Ocarina melody is written in is different, so they aren't actually the same notes being played, and their similarities are relative; that's to say that they only appear to be the same notes. In reality, when played backwards, they would sound entirely different. The music process was really boiled down to be much simpler than actual music. I don't think there's intended to be any hidden meaning in the notes.

On topic, you do have a point. The Skyward Sword(Master Sword) would have to end up in the Temple of Time somehow. I don't think Link will put it there. Unless the Pestadel of Time is what turns the Skyward Sword into the Master Sword. I could see that happening in SS. It seems like a real enough possibility. That's my theory.
The Temple of Time and the Master Sword have been moved around several times, and it isn't necessary for the Pedestal of Time to be included in Skyward Sword; aside from being the Blade of Evil's Bane, the overall purpose of the Master Sword changes with each Hero, and the Master Sword interacts differently depending on the situations surrounding the Hero. This is why the Master Sword functions in controlling time in OoT, for breaking magical seals in ALttP and TP, and it will likely be something entirely different in Skyward Sword.

Well, when I meant not many settlements i meant of towns that aren't made up of evil people. I meant there wont be any towns like Kakariko village or other little villages. The only people that aren't evil are probably by themselves or small settlements. I definitely believe there are evil settlements that Link has to overtake and rid the city of evil, which would make for an awesome battle. Speaking of awesome battles i would love to see a battle like the one at the Hidden Village in TP. Well at the end of the game maybe he could put the Master Sword in a pedestal in a random place like the Sacred Grove and the Temple of Time could be built around it. The reason I can't further explain is because I haven't played MC XD well that's all I got for now. Any more questions?

I have had a few thoughts on the people that are still living on the ground when the "great evil" mentioned is reigning. And I have wondered if the need to hide for protection was the reason why there are so many strange and hidden locations in Hyrule. Like the Lost woods, they might actually exists for the protection of the kokiri and the Deku Tree. A cursed forest that ensnares and curses any intruders into undeath seem like a very harsh method of protection in the times of OoT even though wars in Hyrule are mentioned. But it makes sense when the land might be under the control of some dark force hunting down the Hylians and any good people trying to survive.

The same could be said of the Sheikah. This would explain why they lived in a closed off hidden village protected by mountains. And trained themselves in the arts of remaining hidden and getting around silently. Or through magical means like Sheik in OoT. A group of Hylians simply trying to survive against a regime of monsters ruling the land who were not lucky enough to live on Skyloft would invent these methods.

As well as the Gerudo, this might be the reason why they were driven out of habitable lands into the desert. To escape they have to live protected by the arid desert and adapted to life there. No monsters would attempt to cross the desert to attack the people who escaped there. As well as create the need to build a fortress there.

Many other mystical locations like the lost hills, sacred forest meadow, and the tunnel under Kakariko village could also be means of protection. This could explain the various hidden temples and dungeons as well. Zora hiding deep under Laky Hylia created the lakebed temple, or the Gorons moving deep into the Death Mountain Crater.

Couldn't the Temple of Time been built after the creation of the sword? And maybe it was entrusted to the people of the rejoined Skyloft/Hyrule(assuming that in the end of SS they join back together). That could eventually be another game too if you think about it. How the Temple of Time was created.

A new incarnation of Link and how he has to search the world for the Master Sword in order to defeat Ganon?

My theory is that this game starts off the timeline... I believe that this game will explain the origins/formation of Hyrule and its people, have a possible war for power in Hyrule whuch draws the link from skyloft down to deal with, and near the end of the game we may see how the SS turns into the Master Sword...another crazy possibility is that this link becomes King of Hyrule, then the link from MC is his son. This could make sense if SS was first in the timeline, but it's just and idea. So to continue, the link from MC would be the father of the Link from Oot and another war would have to erupt to make Link's mom want to go to Kokiri forest...unless this war is the war for the creation of Hyrule making this game a direct prequel to Oot? Well, regardless of the story possibilities, this game is without a doubt going to explain a lot, find a place along the (SS?)-MC-Oot) timeline....so we will have to wait and see. Regarding the changing of the SS to the Master Sword, the temple might be created in this game and have the Master Sword wait there for the Hero of Time. @ Artemis, it is possible that a sequel might be created, but the new Incarnation of link might just be the one from Oot, if we followed my bloodline idea. Unfortunatly, these are just theories, but doesn't it make a little sense?

@ the Wind Mage, this theory would also make a lot of sense, explaining why the places are all there in Oot, which also works with my theory...well put.


Any members who saw my old sig and saw the spoiler, I apologize....
