Long ago, the Goddess [[Hylia]] rescued her people from a great evil by sending them to the sky. Here, in [[Skyloft]], they lived until the land below had been virtually forgotten, until the evil begins to resurface and plucks [[Zelda]] from the sky. Link, her childhood friend, must go down to the surface and prevent Lord [[Ghirahim]] from using her to fully revive his master.
