{{Main|Link}}
Link is the hero and primary protagonist of ''Skyward Sword'', starting off the game as a young, seventeen and a half years old{{Ref|Designer Kobayashi, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia|Hyrule Historia]]'', pg. 8|The Link presented [in Skyward Sword] is a mere seventeen and a half years old.}} man living in [[Skyloft]], who attends the [[Knight Academy]]. Link is dressed in boots, green pants and a sweatshirt, not unlike the rest of the citizens of Skyloft. He is a very active young lad who goes skydiving and bird riding to impress Zelda and his other classmates. Each of the citizens of Skyloft has a large bird called [[Loftwing]] that they use for transportation, but Link has a rare red Loftwing called a [[Crimson Loftwing]] that he befriends early on. 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 sudden tornado is summoned, causing Zelda to fall off her bird and get sucked down into the land below. Link goes after Zelda, but appears to be knocked out cold by the huge fall. He is awakened by [[Gaepora]], where Link tells him of the unfortunate news about Zelda. After Gaepora leaves, Link is confronted by [[Fi]], the spirit of the [[Goddess Sword]], who then accompanies Link throughout his quest, serving as his spiritual guide. Gaepora finds the two together [[Inside the Statue of the Goddess]] and they begin to discuss of the war between the [[Hylia|Goddess]] and the [[Demise|Demon King]]. Afterwards, Link is entrusted with a green Knight uniform and he heads off.
 
Link travels down to the land below in search of Zelda. Throughout his quest, he uses a standard set of inventory items that he [[Skyward Sword Upgrades|upgrades]] along the way as he battles through the overworld and dungeons, attempting to save Hyrule from the evil that lurks there. Part of his quest takes him to the [[Silent Realm]], where he must collect [[Sacred Tears]] and avoid [[Guardian (Skyward Sword)|Guardian]]s without the aid of his sword or other items. He fights many foes along the way, but perhaps the [[Ghirahim|Demon Lord Ghirahim]] is one of the most powerful. Ghirahim is also in search of Zelda and has no problem bringing Link within an inch of his life. He wants to resurrect his master, Demise, who is the strongest foe Link meets in this journey. His goal is to defeat Ghirahim and Demise, rescue Zelda, and save the lands of Skyloft and Hyrule. He ends up traveling all throughout Hyrule, learning more about the history of both Hyrule and Skyloft, and seeking to rekindle the [[Goddess Sword]] into the famous [[Master Sword]] along his journey.

====Wing Ceremony====
In this game, Zelda is not a princess, but a normal girl with a grave destiny. She is Link's closest friend and rides around on a [[Zelda's Loftwing|Blue Loftwing]]. Her father, [[Gaepora]], the headmaster of the Knight Academy, along with Instructors [[Instructor Owlan|Owlan]] and [[Instructor Horwell|Horwell]], chose her to act as the goddess in the [[Wing Ceremony]], an annual race in which Link is attending. She sends a letter to Link on the day of the ceremony, asking him to visit her at the [[Statue of the Goddess]]. When he comes, she shows him her costume of the goddess and her new [[Goddess's Harp]]. After a conversation with Gaepora about Link's ceremony, Zelda throws Link off [[Skyloft]] so that his [[Crimson Loftwing]] can catch him. But after a few seconds, Zelda and Gaepora notice that his bird isn't coming. Zelda rescues Link, and Gaepora tells him that something is wrong and that he needs to inform [[Instructor Horwell]], the general in charge of that year's Wing Ceremony, to delay the race for him.
 
After Zelda tends for her bird that got tired from carrying both Link and Zelda, she goes to the [[The Plaza]] where she finds that Link and [[Groose]], the school bully, are having an argument in which Link has suspicions about Groose kidnapping his bird. After Groose and his lackeys, [[Cawlin]] and [[Strich]] leave, Zelda searches for Link's bird in the skies, hoping to find him before the race. After a few minutes, she finds Link with a sword looking in an area below the waterfall, also known as Groose's hideout. They search around there and find the Crimson Loftwing locked up in a cave. After Link saves him, Zelda starts talking to him about the "surface world" beneath the clouds and how she wants to see it. She also speaks with Link about a mysterious voice that keeps talking to her in her head. After talking, they mount their Loftwings for some last-minute review flight practice, and then Zelda goes off to tell Gaepora that they can start the ceremony.
 
After Link wins the race, Zelda joyfully jumps off Skyloft for Link and his bird to catch her, and then they go to the top of the statue to continue on with the ceremony. Zelda hands him the [[Sailcloth]], a legendary parachute used as the prize for that year's race. She then pushes Link off the statue and tells him to land on the circle in the ground with his new sailcloth. After that, 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. Link later has a dream of Zelda being swallowed by a huge black monster with scales.
 
====Faron Woods====
Zelda wakes up in the [[Sealed Grounds]] in the surface, and is found by an [[Impa|old woman]]. She takes her inside into the [[Sealed Temple]] and tells her that she has been waiting for her for a long time. She explains to her about [[Demise]] and the goddess [[Hylia]], how they fought, how she defeated him and sealed him away, and how she believed that he will escape his prison. She tells the story of Hylia's two plans that she thought of and set in motion almost immediately: first is [[Fi]], the spirit of a sword that Link, as Hylia's chosen hero, will use in his mission to defeat Demise. Fi was made to guide him through his journey on the surface. The second plan was to give up her immortality and reincarnate into a human to hide from the evil forces that still walk on the surface.
 
The old woman says that Zelda is the reincarnation of Hylia, and that to regain her memory of her past life she must travel to the two springs to pray and purify herself, and travel to the past through a portal in time. She later mentions that Zelda must go into a deep sleep and wait for her chosen hero to finally defeat Demise. She also explains that Link must be tested to see if he can be the chosen hero, and to do that he must go through many challenges to prove himself worthy. She devised a plan to travel to the two springs and to the past so that Link can follow her and can prove himself worthy of that title. The next day Zelda, with her new clothes, sets out into the [[Faron Woods]] to find the first spring.
 
[[File:Goddess Zelda (Skyward Sword).png|150px|left]]
While Link lands on the Sealed Grounds with his new clothes and sword, Zelda is trying to find the [[Skyview Temple]]. She got some help from the [[Kikwi]]s, but they also mentioned that it was dangerous to go there, but she still goes anyways. She somehow made it to the temple and to the spring, and she prayed and purified herself there. As soon as Link gets there, she had already left.
 
====Eldin Volcano====
Zelda travels to [[Eldin Volcano]] through teleportation. As soon as she reaches this area, she sees [[Bokoblin]]s everywhere. She did her best to get to the top unnoticed, but the bokoblins surround her at the temple entrance. Two [[Mogma]]s see her getting dragged away into the temple, and Link overhears them talking about her. Before the leader of the bokoblins gets to her, [[Impa]], a servant of the goddess, saves her by using her magic. She takes Zelda to the spring and explains who she is and that she helped Link on the way there. While Zelda prays, Link comes in and sees Zelda again, but Impa tells her that she must go to the desert. While Impa scolds Link from being late to save Zelda from the bokoblins, Zelda goes through the portal to the [[Lanayru Desert]].
 
====Temple of Time====
Zelda and Impa go through the desert into the [[Temple of Time]], and Impa destroys the entrance to delay the enemy following Zelda. She plays her harp to activate the [[Gate of Time]] leading to the past. As soon as it opens, Zelda sees Link come in through the side entrance of the temple, but [[Ghirahim]] breaks through the blocked entrance Impa created, and blocks Link from getting closer to Zelda with magical fire. While Impa and Ghirahim fight, Zelda teleports her harp to Link and tells him that he will need it where he is going. After that Link notices that the fire disappeared and attacks Ghirahim while Impa and Zelda escape through the portal. Zelda promises Link that they will see each other again before Impa breaks the portal.
 
====Endless Sleep====
After Link has gotten the power of the Master Sword, he goes off to the Sealed Temple to open the Gate of Time. When he arrives in the past and meets Zelda, she tells him the legend of Hylia that the old woman told her thousands of years later and her plan of using him to save the world. After she tells him all that, Zelda seals herself and asks Link if he can wake her up when the seal is broken and Demise is gone.
 
====Demise's Ressurection====
{{float|right|{{Fi}}}}
Zelda finally woke up after thousands of years of sleep, thanks to Link and the Triforce, who killed Demise with the goddess statue. But just after a couple of minutes of happiness, Ghirahim showed up, injured Link and Zelda, kidnapped Zelda and entered The Gate of Time to resurrect Demise (since he is just sealed in the past). Link got to his feet and ran after them. When Link arrives in the past, he sees Zelda lying on the ground, fainted. Ghirahim is doing a spell to resurrect Demise and sings his theme. Ghirahim sends hundreds of monsters to attack Link. After the one vs hundreds war, Link comes down to Ghirahim to fight against him and save Zelda from losing her soul. When Link is done with the battle, Ghirahim says he has been doing the spell while he fought against Link. He then successfully resurrects Demise. Just as Demise has been resurrected, Demise is taking a sword from Ghirahim's body and takes all of his powers. Groose comes and tells Link he can save Zelda by killing Demise before her whole soul is gone. Demise is making a portal and tells Link he wants to fight in another dimension where there are no going out except Demise gets killed, if he dares. Link enters and faces Demise.
When Link has won over Demise, Demise's last words are: "My hate... never perishes. It is born anew in a cycle with no end! I will rise again! Those like you... Those who share the blood of the goddess and the spirit of the hero... They are eternally bound to this curse. An incarnation of my hatred shall ever follow your kind, dooming them to wander a blood-soaked sea of darkness for all time!"
 
Demise is gone for now and Zelda comes back to normal. While Link seals away Fi for the next Hero, Zelda asks Impa to go to the future with her. Impa says she can't because the past is her present, but she promises that they will see each other again, so Zelda gives her one of her bracelets that she was wearing so that Impa could remember her while she waits to see each other again. When they come back to their time, the Gate of Time disappears and they see the old woman. She shows Zelda the same bracelet, meaning she is Impa in the present. After seeing each other one last time, Impa dies and disappears, her promise finally fulfilled. Later, Gaepora comes down to visit and Groose goes back to Skyloft. Then, while Link and Zelda stand on the Goddess statue alone with the Triforce, she says that she wants to stay and live in the land below.

= Ghirahim =
 
{{Main|Ghirahim}}
==Story==
Ghirahim is a member of a [[Demon Tribe]] that attempted to take over the Surface, but they were stopped by the Goddess, [[Hylia]]. What happened to him between then and the events of ''Skyward Sword'' are unknown.
 
Throughout the game, Ghirahim makes many attempts to revive the Demon King by sacrificing Zelda. His first attempt occurs when Link and Zelda are riding on their [[Loftwing]]s. Ghirahim summons a tornado and knocks Zelda off her bird into the [[Sealed Grounds]] below, but he fails to capture her.
 
Ghirahim appears again for a brief moment when Link enters the Skyview Temple. He nearly reaches Zelda at the end of the temple, but he is stopped by Link. The boss fight with Demon Lord Ghirahim proceeds and he states to have not used his full power, but instead, was merely toying with the young hero.
 
In the proceeding dungeon, the [[Earth Temple (Skyward Sword)|Earth Temple]], Ghirahim appears once again in the boss arena, but he will not be fought this time. Instead, he summons the boss of that temple, Scaldera.
 
Later in [[Lanayru Desert]], Ghirahim appears once more. On this occasion, he is seen after Link has navigated his way through the treacherous [[Lanayru Mining Facility]], where he finds himself in the [[Temple of Time]]. The Demon Lord destroys the boulders blocking the way and attempts to yet again kidnap Zelda. [[Impa]], the servant of the Goddess, blocks Ghirahim's attack with a large blue force field, giving Zelda time to go through the [[Gate of Time]]. Link then distracts Ghirahim long enough to allow Impa through the Gate of Time before she destroys it. Ghirahim, in frustration of losing Zelda again, promises in a fit of rage to kill Link, and Ghirahim teleports away.
 
Ghirahim makes a brief appearance at the end of the [[Ancient Cistern]], where he summons another boss. He awakens a Shiva-like statue as the boss of the Ancient Cistern, Koloktos.
 
Later on in the game, the Demon Lord makes an appearance in the penultimate dungeon, the Fire Sanctuary, for a fight similar to that of the Skyview Temple. He is much more powerful in this fight because his projectiles are much harder to dodge, and he is now protected by a metallic like armor. Ghirahim seems to be losing his calm persona in this appearance as he freaks out about losing Zelda yet again. It is now known that Ghirahim is searching for a Gate of Time since the one in the Temple of Time was destroyed.
 
Ghirahim makes his final stand by arriving at the Sealed Grounds where [[Demise]] was just destroyed. He ambushes Link and captures the newly awakened Zelda. He escapes to the past to try to revive Demise since he was destroyed in the present. Ghirahim summons a horde of enemies to keep Link from approaching Zelda and himself. Link eventually fights through the horde, but Ghirahim has already begun Zelda's sacrifice, and Ghirahim reveals his true form. His entire body is almost entirely hard metal except for a gemstone in his chest. Link manages to defeat Ghirahim, but Demise had already awakened at this point. Ghirahim reveals himself to actually be Demise's equivalent to Link's [[Fi]]. Ghirahim is, in fact, Demise's sword. Demise transforms Ghirahim into his true sword form while Ghirahim laughs hysterically. It can be assumed that Ghirahim has completely lost his normally calm attitude and gone completely insane by then.

= Hylia =
{{Main|Hylia}}
 
Hylia is a character introduced in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. She is the only known worshiped deity in [[Skyloft]] with no mention of the three [[Golden Goddesses|Goddesses]], 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 an Ultimate Power, which refers to the Triforce, passed down by the "old gods". When the [[Surface|land below]] is attacked by evil forces, she raises an island with the humans and the [[Triforce|Ultimate Power]] on it into [[The Sky|the sky]]. She and the remaining land dwellers fought off the evil forces.
 
==Story==
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 in the [[Statue of the Goddess|Goddess Statue]] 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 Goddess Statue, 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.
 
{{Clear}}
 
= Fi =
 
{{Main|Fi}}
Fi first appears to Link inside the [[Knight Academy]] shortly after he is separated from [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] by a black tornado. She leads Link throughout the town of [[Skyloft]] to the secret interior of the [[Goddess Statue]] where the Goddess Sword rests. Fi entices Link to draw the blade and, with the help of [[Gaepora]], exposits the great destiny that he must fulfill by descending to the [[Hyrule|Surface]] and reuniting with Zelda, giving him the [[Emerald Tablet]] that will open the way to [[Faron Woods]].
 
Fi goes on to accompany Link in his travels throughout the game, designating him to be her master as the wielder of the Goddess Sword and pledging her eternal guidance and loyalty to him. Because she was programmed with a wealth of knowledge and information, she is able to provide Link with detailed analyses of enemies, items, and areas he comes across in his journey. She also teaches him important techniques such as the [[Skyward Strike]] and how to [[Dowsing|dowse]] for certain characters and items, and translates divine messages to be relayed to Link. As the game advances, Link is required to empower his blade by imbuing it with three [[Sacred Flames]], which together transform Fi's dwelling into the legendary [[Master Sword]].
 
Fi retains a very icy and stoic demeanor throughout the game, owing to her innate inability to feel emotion, and frequently presents information to Link in the form of percentages, calculations, and variables. This also leads her to be very forward and blunt in her analyses of other characters, and she is not above treating even Link with some snide early on in his adventure. The two of them gradually grow closer as the story advances, however, and Fi confesses near the end of the game that she has come to cherish the time they've spent together. Also among her attributes are a propensity for singing, as her vocals accompany Link on the [[Goddess Harp]] when activating [[Trial Gate]]s, and dancing, as she does when translating messages at the [[Skyview Spring|Skyview]] and [[Earth Spring]]s and the [[Isle of Songs]].
 
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 [[Sealed Temple|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

'''Beedle''' is a shop owner who has appeared in several games in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. In the games he appears in, Beedle appears to be somewhat young.
 
==Appearances==
===The Wind Waker===
[[File:Beedle_WindWakerHD.png|left|110px]]
Beedle first appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' and is met as a traveling merchant who sails the [[Great Sea]] on his boat, [[Beedle's Shop Ship]], where he sells items. He also has a shop where you can buy rare items like a [[Piece of Heart]], or a [[Bottle]]. The items here are very expensive. [[Link]] can purchase items from Beedle who will keep track of how many items Link buys and award him with points. These points accumulate with each purchase Link makes and eventually add up to give him small discounts and rewards in the shop. He says "OH!" whenever talked to, he says "Thank You!" whenever you buy items from him, and he says "Bye!" whenever you leave.
 
===The Minish Cap===
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', Beedle is found in the center of [[Hyrule Town]]. He appears after the [[Gust Jar]] is used to "clean up" dust off of one of the mats in the town. This version of Beedle sells a magical item known as "[[Picolyte]]"— an item which grants the user a different magical effect depending on the color.{{Ref|TMC|1769|Beedle}}
 
===Phantom Hourglass===
Beedle is reincarnated as a shop owner once again in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]''. On his ship, he travels around the [[World of the Ocean King]], selling his wares. He has five items for sale at all times, which can consist of [[Ship Part]]s, potions, and rare [[Treasure]] which are of course sold for [[Rupee]]s. At one point in the game, Beedle is wearing a golden mask and is selling a yellow potion, a Heart Container, and a Treasure Chart, all of which are very expensive, costing over 900 Rupees each. Like the Beedle in ''The Wind Waker'', Link can gain points for buying things at his shop.
 
===Spirit Tracks===
[[File:Beedle - ST.png|left|200px]]
Beedle in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]'' is much like the Beedle in ''Phantom Hourglass''; however, the ''Spirit Tracks'' Beedle is in a hot air balloon. He will sell [[Bomb]]s, [[Potion]]s, and Treasures to you. The first time you visit his hot air balloon he will sell you the [[Bomb Bag]]. To visit his shop, Link must drive up to him and blow the [[Spirit Train]]s whistle, and then he will stop for Link. Much like in ''Phantom Hourglass'' and ''The Wind Waker'', Beedle gives membership points. Link gains one point for every ten rupees spent. After Link has acquired 500 points, he is awarded a [[Heart Container]]. Additionally, if Link takes a boy in [[Aboda Village]] to his Beedle's shop, the boy will give Link a [[Force Gem]].
{{clear|left}}
 
===Skyward Sword===
{{Fi|left}}
Like his future 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. In ''Skyward Sword'', Beedle has a taller and leaner physique and is wearing different clothes than in other games. After hitting the bell on the bottom of the shop with the [[Slingshot]], [[Bow]], [[Beetle (Item)|Beetle]], or [[Clawshot]]s, 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 by powering a bicycle-like machine. His shop carries four items at a time. He sells a [[Life Medal]], a [[Bug Medal]], the [[Bug Net]], a [[Piece of Heart]], three [[Extra Wallet]]s, and three slots for the [[Adventure Pouch]]. His familiar "OH!" sound effect has been carried over from ''The Wind Waker''. If Link leaves after looking at an item but without buying anything, Beedle complains that he works hard to keep his shop afloat and that his effort shouldn't be wasted on him. He then drops Link out of a hatch. Also, if Link sleeps in the "bed" on Beedle's floating shop until night, he will wake up on an island located in a different place in the Sky known as [[Beedle's Island]]. This is the place where Beedle lands his ship every night and leaves from the next morning/day.  At a later point in the game, Link can do a side quest with Beedle that involves getting his special bug back.  The rewards for the quest are five gratitude crystals and a discount on one of Beedle's items.

===Breath of the Wild===
[[File:Beedle.jpg|right|120px]]
Beedle appears once more in ''Breath of the Wild''. He can be found at many of the [[Stable]]s across [[Hyrule]], where he sells a variety of items, changing from location to location. He will also offer to buy many of Link's items, including [[Breath of the Wild Materials|Materials]], [[Breath of the Wild Armor|Armor]] and [[Breath of the Wild Food|Food]]. If Link approaches him whilst any type of Beetle is in his inventory, Beedle will be incredibly surprised, and offer to trade one of his wares for the insect{{Unsourced}}.

'''Cawlin''' is a young [[Skyloftian]] boy who attends the [[Knight Academy]] and is friends with [[Groose]] and [[Strich]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. He and Strich help Groose tease and bully [[Link]] early on in our hero's adventure.
 
==Appearance and Personality==
Cawlin is a short and plump young boy. He often wears a smug face and speaks with little manners. Cawlin is rather self-centered, only tackling a situation if it benefits himself in some way. Instead of leading, Cawlin chooses to follow and act as the first of Groose's two lackeys. Cawlin often follows Groose's example. Even though he shows little emotion, Cawlin later experiences love and, even later, depression.
 
==Role in the Plot==
At first, Cawlin is simply a flunky under Groose, meant to be a second or third opinion for his leader. Cawlin impedes Link during the Loftwing competition by first helping Groose and Stritch sabotage Link by capturing his bird and also impeding him by throwing eggs at him. After [[Zelda]] disappears and Link embarks on his adventure, Groose's gang is temporarily split up. Groose locks himself in his room and mourns (later falling to the surface world) and Stritch spends his time at the Lumpy Pumpkin and expands his bug collection, leaving Cawlin to mosey around the Knight Academy's hallways. Cawlin later falls in love with [[Karane]], another student at the Knight Academy. Cawlin asks Link to deliver a love letter for him. If Link successfully completes the task, Cawlin later expresses his love openly to Karane, but is denied as Karane chooses [[Pipit]] instead. Cawlin experiences extreme depression after being rejected, locking himself in Groose's room (which Groose no longer occupies) and cries himself to sleep at night, muttering "stupid Pipit..."  Also you have the choose to deliver the love letter to a ghost hand in the bathroom that "needs paper" if done the ghost will haunt Cawlin at night telling you the letter was so romantic she thinks Cawlin is her true love. At day he will be on his bed complaining of bad dreams while at night the ghost hand will be hovering over him while he scream/whines in his sleep.
 
==Side Quests==
[[Cawlin's Letter]] - [[Link]] can decide to help Cawlin with his crush and deliver his letter of confession to [[Karane]], or choose to give it to the bathroom ghost hand.

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 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]].
 
[[File:Zelda SS The Sky.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Link flying on his Crimson Loftwing across The Sky]]
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 Loftwing, being bright crimson in color.{{Ref|SS|4682|[[Gaepora]]}} 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.{{Ref|SS|4683|[[Gaepora]]}}{{Ref|SS|4684|[[Gaepora]]}}
 
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.{{Clear|left}}

They're the best of the best! You might just have what it takes to join them, but don't think it'll be easy. No slacking, you hear! Guess I should tell you my grandson's one of 'em!

'''Instructor Eagus''' is the master swordsman, knight commander and fighting arts teacher of [[Skyloft]]'s well-known [[Knight Academy]], where [[Skyloftian]] adolescents and adults who have the courage and perseverance to become knights train to do so. [[Link]] attends this academy. Eagus is one of the three major instructors of the academy, his two colleagues being [[Instructor Owlan|Owlan]], the science and history teacher, and [[Instructor Horwell|Horwell]], the language arts and practical skills teacher. He works for [[Gaepora]], the headmaster of the academy, who is also the father of [[Zelda]], Link's close friend. Eagus can always be found in the [[Sparring Hall]], located near the main dormitory of the Knight Academy. During the early parts of the game, Link goes to Eagus on request for a sword. In return, he gives him the [[Practice Sword]] to borrow. Eagus will always be willing to let Link practice in his hall, offering many different obstacles that Link must slash strategically to defeat. He will often encourage Link calling him a fast learner and a good student. 
 
==Trivia==
* Signs indicate that Eagus loves [[Hot Pumpkin Soup]] made by [[Pumm]], the bartender at the [[Lumpy Pumpkin]], the pumpkin bar that is famous for its pumpkin soup and is popular among the [[Skyloftian]]s.
* As the first of three quests required to obtain a [[Piece of Heart]], it is mandatory to deliver a sample of the pumpkin soup to Instructor Eagus.

'''Fledge''' is one of the students of the [[Knight Academy]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''.
 
==Appearance and Personality==
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. He can't keep a secret under pressure seeing as he told Pipit about Groose and his gang trapping Link's Loftwing.
 
==Role in the Plot==
Link first meets Fledge in the Knight Academy, where he attempts to move some barrels for the cook. He is such a weakling that he can't do it by himself. If Link chooses to help him, there is a 20 Rupee reward and Fledge's thanks.
 
Early in the game, while Fledge was cleaning the dining hall, he overheard [[Groose]] and his friends scheming to steal [[Crimson Loftwing|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.
 
==Side Quests==
If Link goes to Fledge's room in the Knight Academy at night, he can find him doing push-ups. He complains of not having enough stamina. Bringing him two [[Stamina Potion]]s leads to him giving Link 5 [[Gratitude Crystal]]s.
{{Fi|Fledge 3}}
After completing the first side quest and 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. Upon noticing Link's new Bow, he asks if Link can show him how good he is with it by hitting the pumpkins that he tosses using his new-found strength for just 20 Rupees. Hitting pumpkins gives Link 10 points, with the number of points increasing with each consecutive pumpkin. Less than 400 points gives Link 50 Rupees, 400-599 points gives Link a treasure to help [[Skyward Sword Upgrades|upgrade]] his gear, and 600+ points gives Link a [[Piece of Heart]].

'''Gaepora''' is the headmaster of the [[Knight Academy]], and [[Zelda|Zelda's]] father in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. He seems to hold an even higher position of authority in [[Skyloft]], for reasons which are unknown.
 
==Appearance and Personality==
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. His robes bear a striking resemblance to those of [[Rauru]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', who credited himself as one of the [[Seven Sages]] who constructed the [[Temple of Time]]. He also has a small [[Remlit]] named [[Mia]]. Similarly, his name brings memory of [[Kaepora Gaebora]], a wise owl (also from ''Ocarina of Time'') who gave [[Link]] hints from time to time when Link is a child.
 
==Role in the Plot==
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.

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.{{Ref|SS|4210|[[Jakamar]]}} He tries to fix said robot, but unfortunately to not avail due to the lack of necessary materials.{{Ref|SS|1934|[[Fi]]}} Link, however, provides Gondo with the oils of an [[Ancient Flower]], which in turn ables Gondo to fix Scrapper.{{Ref|SS|3553|Gondo}}{{Ref|SS|3558|Gondo}} Due to Link's assistance in reviving Scrapper, he is permitted to use Scrapper's abilities at his own will.{{Ref|SS|1827|[[Fi]]}}
 
Gondo lives with his mother, and spends most of his time building things and trying to fix Scrapper.{{Ref|SS|1826|[[Fi]]}} His mother dislikes Gondo's obsession with fixing Scrapper and engineering, and complains about it, and is often seen washing Gonzo's clothes.

Gondo could be seen at his shop during day time. Additionally, it is the location of Goddess Chest #19

It's an account of their daily lives in 13 parts.Which suggests that there are 12 other stone tablets out there.I wonder what stories they might tell...

Simply incredible.In finding the fantastic devices they built to preserve these records, you fulfilled the wishes she wrote of here.And it doesn't end there.If I'm reading this right, it suggests that their Zelda worked with Mineru to raise the Temple of Time into the sky!The idea of the Temple of Time, a grand edifice built in that ancient era, being lifted to the skies to await a hero...Trust me—that's what it says!Although given the appearance of the sky islands after the Upheaval, perhaps it's not so far-fetched as it seems?There are so many revelations here...

|This is an account of a party from those days.It says King Rauru and his older sister sang and danced together while Queen Sonia looked on.We think of royalty as austere and reserved, but these nobles amused themselves with song and dance.But what a vivid recounting of a scene never before related in any history book...The descriptions of their personalities and expressions make the ancient past feel alive again.This stone tablet is a first-class find.

|This one looks to be about Queen Sonia. It claims that Sonia was a priestess before marrying Rauru.Despite his status as a Zonai, a people popularly thought to be gods, she would counsel him without any trepidation.Moreover, Rauru heeded this counsel.This account gives us firsthand knowledge of the nature of Queen Sonia and King Rauru's relationship.Rauru found himself unexpectedly charmed by her strong will, and before long, they were married...Er, that last bit isn't in the text. That's me speculating.History rarely speaks of a person's character prior to being elevated to royalty. So I can't help but fantasize.

|This is a tale of King Rauru.Apparently, he would vacate his official business from time to time in order to go out hunting.I had the impression he was a stricter, more serious king, but I guess he had a lighter side as well.However, Queen Sonia was always a step ahead. She would put a stop to King Rauru's hunts and bring him back.We rarely get a glimpse into the down-to- earth side of royalty in this way. It's an important find, to be sure.

|The subject here is the actions King Rauru and Queen Sonia undertook not long after Hyrule's founding.With the kingdom established, they were worried for their people, so they set out to eradicate the monsters troubling them.They created structures called Shrines of Light to seal the monsters away so that they could never be revived.There's more here about light...and time too...

Imagine the look on her face if she were to find out!They say that trends go in cycles, but...

'''Groose''' is a major character that appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''.
==Skyward Sword==
Groose appears throughout the game in different ways. He has a thing for [[Zelda]] and is determined to win the bird-riding competition 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. His actions derive from jealously towards [[Link]] knowing that [[Zelda]] wants Link to win since they are childhood friends. He also has his lackeys, [[Cawlin]] and [[Strich]], throw eggs at Link to slow him down. [[Instructor Owlan]] specifically warned against this behavior just before the contest began, and [[Gaepora]] singled out Groose as someone who is prone to not play by the rules.
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 (mostly a land full of small non-ride-able birds and [[Gorko]]). 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".
{{Spoiler|section}}
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.
==Trivia==
*[[Groose]] is similar to [[Mido]], as both pick on [[Link]] because they are jealous of someone Link likes.
*[[Groose]] is very fond of his hair. He is sensitive to insults about it and constantly strokes it.
*[[Groose]]'s name is derived from the [[Wikipedia:Grouse|Grouse]] bird or [[Wikipedia:Goose|geese]].
*[[Groose]]'s hairstyle was inspired by a rooster's comb.{{Ref|Designer Hirono, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia|Hyrule Historia]]'', pg. 23|Groose's pointy hairstyle was inspired by a rooster's comb.}}

'''Instructor Horwell''' is a male character from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. He is of [[Skyloftian]] descent and spends most of his time at the [[Knight Academy]].
==Appearance and Personality==
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 cat.
==Role in the Plot==
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 [[Loftwing]]s.
==Side Quests==
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.
==Trivia==
*Both [[Instructor Owlan]]'s and [[Instructor Horwell]]'s designs were based on the [[Rito]] tribe from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]''.{{Ref|Designer Hirono, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia|Hyrule Historia]]'', pg. 23|Owlan's and Horwell's designs were based on the Rito tribe from The Wind Waker.}}

'''Instructor Owlan''' is one of the two instructors at the [[Knight Academy]] alongside [[Instructor Horwell]]. He is seen standing next to [[Gaepora]] at the beginning of the Bird Rider's Ceremony. Wearing a decorative blue sash across his shoulders similar to that of Gaepora, he shows his authority on bird riding. He is the instructor of the skill of birdriding to the youths of Skyloft and overseer of the race.
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 bird riders. Then upon his command the competition begins. He also teaches Link's [[Loftwing]] the spin attack, allowing it to move faster and attack enemies without hurting itself. He seems intrigued by plants and is Gaepora's right-hand-man, to which he entrusts studying and discoveries.

He then reminds him to pray to the [[Hylia|Goddess]] over at the [[Bird Statue]] nearby, making a joke about "One in time saves nine". This information is important due to the fact the Bird Statue is your save point. After discovering Link's [[Loftwing]] is missing, Jakamar will remember seeing [[Groose]]'s bird chasing his. He's unsure about their whereabouts, but he knows that Groose and his cronies are heading to the [[Wing Ceremony]].

'''Peatrice''' is in charge of the [[Item Check]] in [[Skyloft]]. She lives with [[Peater|her father]], the man at [[Bamboo Island]]. She's always bored because no one stores items with her, which often ignites daydreams of her meeting the perfect man.{{Ref|SS|1829|[[Fi]]}} After [[Link]] visits her for a while, she will start to notice him, and will eventually get excited for all of his visits.{{Ref|SS|1423|[[Fi]]}} This triggers a side quest.
==Side Quest==
If Link goes to her house at night (below the [[Bazaar]], next to the small pumpkin patch), he can see a speech bubble above her father's head. If Link talks to him, he will tell the hero that his daughter is distracted too often, and that he believes she has a secret admirer. He asks Link to break the two of them apart. If Link visits her during the day, Peatrice asks him to see her at her house at night. For easy travel go to her house and sleep in her bed until night, and talk to her.
There are two possible outcomes: Link tells her he loves her or he breaks her heart. If he tells her that he doesn't have any feelings for her, she will cry and will treat the hero like a normal customer for the rest of the game; her father, though, will be happy that she is no longer in love and will give Link 5 [[Gratitude Crystal]]s. If Link chose "yes", Peatrice is relieved that he shares mutual feelings with her, and he will receive the 5 Gratitude Crystals from her instead of her father. She then realizes Link must finish his quest before they can truly be together, and asks Link to keep it a secret for now. However, the game's ultimate outcome will not be altered.
==Trivia==
*If [[Link]] chooses that he ''does'' have feelings for [[Peatrice]], [[Fi]] will recommend that the hero should not tell [[Zelda]] about his new found romance. {{Ref|SS|1830|[[Fi]]}}

Pipit is the local [[Loftwing]] expert of Skyloft. He has brown hair, wears a yellow tunic, long pants, and blue gloves and belt that signify that he has graduated from the Knight Academy during one of the previous semesters. He thinks he is a very important figure, which he is to some degree, but brags a little more than he should.
==Role in the Plot==
Pipit's overall role in the plot is minor, but he does have his small moments. He patrols around the Knight Academy at night, searching for any dangers that might be lurking.
After learning that [[Link]]'s Loftwing is missing, and not responding to his calls, Pipit offers to help him find it. He suggests Link should visit [[The Plaza|the plaza]] and speak to some of the towns people while he asks around the academy. In addition to that, Link can offer to help his mother clean their house. She offers 20 [[Rupee]]s for his assistance. As the game progresses further, Link can stop by their house at night to find Pipit yelling at his mother for wasting her money on a housekeeper.
Upon learning from Link that [[Cawlin]] is interested in dating [[Karane]], Pipit steps in and takes her for himself. Link is then rewarded with five [[Gratitude Crystal]]s for bringing the two together.

If [[Link]] visits his room at night, Strich will enthusiastically purchase bugs from Link for a reasonable price. Strangely enough, he is away from his bully friends.

It was only until Gondo used oils from the [[Ancient Flower]] that [[Link]] gave him to revive Scrapper.

Scrapper often pesters the hero by calling him "Master Shortpants", and flatters Fi by calling her "Mistress Fi".
Scrapper makes himself extremely useful by offering his assistance whenever he can. He helps [[Dodoh]] collect his Party Wheel, [[Sparrot]] collect his crystal ball, carry the [[Kikwi]], [[Oolo]], to [[Instructor Owlan]], and give [[Kina]] a hand in doing some agricultural work. Aside from being a large help in side quests, Scrapper helps out in the main quest as well.

If Link sits down on the stool next to Mr. Tubert, he will ask Link if he would like to chat with him. If Link answers yes, he will be given the option of asking three different questions: "Who are you?", "Are you floating?", and "Is it too bright for you?".
Mr. Tubert is not actually floating, but instead standing on his tail. He does this so that he can show off his paws on his feet, which he believes to be his best feature. If asked "Is it too bright for you?" he explains that he only wears his glasses to look cool. He also takes pride in his moustache
If Link asks Mr. Tubert the question of "Who are you?" before the Bokoblin tower outside the cave is knocked over, he will complain about the recent "scary-red-monster" infestation in the area and how it's been detrimental to his business. 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. However, if Link asks this question after the tower is knocked over, then he will simply talk about how he is upset that all of his Mogma friends think Rupees are easy to find, and thus they never play his Thrill Digger game.

The '''LD-301''' series is a general name for all the [[Ancient Robot]]s found in the [[Lanayru Province]] of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. They are the main race in that province.
==Description==
{{Fi}}
The LD-301 robots are creatures "from the past" that only come back to life when a [[Timeshift Stone]] is activated. "In the present", i.e. with no Timeshift stone affecting the area, they are discolored and broken, lying on one side. Talking to them will produce a "broken beep" sound effect, and all they say is "..."{{Ref|SS|5883|LD-301 in [[Lanayru Mine]]}}. However, in the past, they come back to life. Most are occupied with maintenance or mining. In the latter case, they have large hand extensions attached to improve digging. Most comment on Link being a human, or tell him not to disturb them while they work{{Ref|SS|5882|LD-301 located in [[Lanayru Mine]]}}, or give information about recent happenings/nearby objects related to them. Link first encounters them as soon as he lands in [[Lanayru Mine]], however, only in their broken form. Since there aren't any Timeshift Stones near, these are never revived.
==Plot involvement==
Several of these robots play a part in the plot. Most notable is [[Skipper]]. [[Scrapper]] appears to be a similar robot, but a different model, built for transportation. See their main articles for more information.
===Technoblin rescue===
In [[Lanayru Mine]], a robot comments that one of his friends has been kidnapped the other day.{{Ref|SS|5929|LD-301 in [[Lanayru Mine]]}} After reaching [[Lanayru Desert]], Link soon finds several cage-like objects, with a [[Timeshift Stone|Timeshift Shard]] in one, and a broken LD-301 in the other. Throwing a bomb to activate the Shard will revive the robot, as well as two [[Technoblin]]s. Defeating these will open both the robot's cage and the Timeshift Shard one, allowing Link to strike the latter again easily whenever he wishes. Speaking to the robot will make him [[Skyward Sword Upgrades|upgrade]] Link's [[Beetle (Item)|Beetle]] to the [[Hook Beetle]]! The robot will also thank Link for rescuing him, saying "these creeps" nearly sucked all the electricity from him{{Ref|SS|5887|LD-301 located in [[Lanayru Desert]]}}.
===Map Upgrade===
After reaching the [[Temple of Time]] and finding the entrance blocked, Link explores the area and finds some Timeshift Shards, and a mine cart, that would transport him back to the [[Lanayru Desert|desert]]. However, a robot is blocking the cart's way, sitting on the tracks. Talking to him will make him go away, but before that, he will comment that Link's map is outdated, and change it so that is shows the desert like it was in the past. This map shows ancient paths leading from the center outward, and when Link reaches the desert using the cart, he finds out he doesn't sink into the sinksand when walking over such a path. This is essential in navigating the sinksand-covered north portion of the desert. The upgraded map stays the one you use throughout the rest of the game. {{Fi|{{Dump|SS|5946}}}}
===Life Tree Seedling===
Once Link revives the [[Lanayru (Dragon)|Thunder Dragon]] with the Timeshift Shard on the cart, he find out the dragon is ill and can't sing his part of the [[Song of the Hero]] to him. The robots have planted a [[Life Tree Seedling]] but are worried it will take too long to grow, commenting on the desert climate, although in the past it was not yet a desert. Link must then unearth the seedling and take it to the [[Sealed Temple]] through the [[Gate of Time]] to plant it, and then retrieve the [[Life Tree Fruit]] in his own time. (See [[Song of the Hero#Lanayru|main article about this part]]). Although no LD-301s are directly involved in this quest, e.g. by having a speech bubble over their head or modifying your items, their speech can be helpful, and shows they are interested and involved in Link's actions. This is only logical, since the "Master Thunder Dragon" is their creator and protector.

'''Demise''' is the Final Boss and main antagonist of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'', the final form of [[The Imprisoned]], and is the master of [[Ghirahim|Demon Lord Ghirahim]]. Ghirahim successfully revives him in the World of the Past, and [[Link]] must defeat him.
==Battle==
===First Phase===
{{Fi|This eternal being has conquered time itself. It is the source of all monsters.<br/>According to tales passed down through generations, it appears differently in each epoch and to each person who lays eyes on it.}}
{{image|file=1818.jpg|align=right|type=caption|caption=Avoiding Demise's attack|size=300px}} In the first phase, Demise will perform simple slashes and punches. It is easy to see when he is about to attack, but he attacks very quickly (despite his size), so this is where your skills with the [[Shield Bash]] are needed. Even with the Shield Bash, Demise won't be stunned at all; however, his guard will be down long enough to deal one or two slashes before he recovers. Also, don't overuse spin attacks, as a standard spin attack is slower than a regular sword slash.
{{image|file=1819.jpg|align=left|type=caption|caption=Attacking Demise with the sword|size=300px}} In other words, if Demise blocks your [[Spin Attack]] and decides to counterattack, you'll probably get hit and knocked back. The main goal during the first phase is to deal a few hits without getting killed. Don't be too risky, as you'll need your hearts for the second form. Demise takes a LOT of hits during his first phase, so just play it safe and don't waste your hearts in a hurry.
===Second Phase===
{{image|file=1820.jpg|align=right|type=caption|caption=Charging a lightning sword attack|size=300px}} The second phase is a lot more dangerous, so restock on your hearts with potions if you're low. This time, Demise's sword is charged with lightning, meaning you can't attack blindly or you'll lose a heart through electrocution. Demise will be able to block nearly all sword attacks, so recklessly slashing at him is a bad idea. If you stay close to him, he'll mainly hack at you three times with his electrified sword, which you'll have to shield bash or dodge. His sword won't lose its power, though, so don't bother going into close combat at the moment. Instead, keep your distance and hold your sword up into [[Skyward Strike]] position (you can charge up lightning Skyward Strikes just like Demise). {{image|file=1821.jpg|align=left|type=caption|caption=Attacking Demise with a charged attack|size=300px}} While you're at a distance, Demise uses devastating attacks that you must avoid at all costs. The first is a charge, where he leaps at you and slashes with his sword. This attack takes out two hearts, but can be stopped with a shield bash or by leaping backward. The second is trickier to handle; he sends out a lightning-charged Skyward Strike, dealing two hearts of damage. Unlike most attacks in ''Skyward Sword'', you can't block this with a shield. Even worse, he sends it horizontally most of the time, making it tricky to dodge. You can evade this attack by dodging sideways, but it's often tricky to see which of the attacks he uses (his charge looks similar to the Skyward Strike before he attacks).
{{image|file=1822.jpg|align=right|type=caption|caption=Missing an Ending Blow|size=300px}} To defeat him, you can defeat him like you did in the previous phase (beware the lightning sword), or you can use Skyward Strikes against him. However, the Skyward Strike in this stage is different from the rest of the game, as it charges up at random. Remember that waiting for the Skyward Strike will leave you vulnerable to Demise, so get ready to dodge or block at any time. Once you send a Skyward Strike at him, he will be stunned long enough for you to run up and hack away until he recovers. At this point, you can keep charging up Skyward Strikes and slashing at him until he falls to the ground. Alternatively, you can use the Bug Net to reflect the electric sword beams which will stun him. {{image|file=1822.jpg|align=left|type=caption|caption=Finishing off Demise|size=300px}} After this, switch to your sword and hack away until he falls down. The first time you see the "finishing blow" interface, you will ALWAYS miss. However, every time you knock him to the ground, his recovery time grows longer, so it becomes easier to finish him the more you knock him down. You can use the "finishing blow" on him after you knock him down a second time, however you must use the attack IMMEDIATELY after he gets knocked down, otherwise it will be too late. If you don't use the "finishing blow" quickly enough, Demise will dodge your attack and you will be left defenseless for a few seconds, so get him quickly.
== Advanced Tactics ==
'''Defeating Demise Quickly'''
It's possible to beat Demise's first form very quickly if you have very fast reactions. This is great for the [[Thunder Dragon's Lightning Round]], if you want to improve your best time for Demise. (Note that you can only do this on [[Hero Mode]].)
The first thing to know is that despite his skill with the blade, you can still slip past his guard without having to use the shield bash. Slash at his left side, then the right side, then the left again very quickly to deal a hit; he will block the first two slashes, but the third will get him if done quickly enough. However, it's much faster to use your shield to shield bash and counterattack.
There are two ways to fight Demise using the shield bash: safe and slow, or quick and dangerous. It's best to play safe at first, but once you get used to his attacks, it's much faster to fight him the risky way. To beat him quickly, shield bash one of his attacks and immediately counterattack. Slash at him several times until he attacks again, then block. While seemingly simple, Demise will attack faster and faster if you don't retreat every now and then. It's very tricky to keep up a long combo of hits without getting hit and knocked back, but you'll finish him very quickly. Another key point is to aim at his legs (his left leg may be easier to hit for right-handed people). Hitting him there continuously will make him fall down, leaving him defenseless for several seconds.
'''Defeating Demise Without A Shield'''
If you want to prove your skill with the Master Sword, or prefer leaping away from attacks than cowering behind a shield, you can take on Demise with only a sword. While slower, you may conserve more hearts this way, and you'll be able to master the art of dodging.
Almost all of Demise's attacks can be dodged with a backflip, but a sidestep won't allow you to dodge some of his attacks since he slashes horizontally or diagonally very often. In fact, the backflip works for every attack except for his Skyward Strike (in the 2nd phase). For this attack, you must dodge sideways. Be careful not to confuse his Skyward Strike with the charging attack, as a sidestep won't let you dodge his charge.
For the first form, attack his left side, then his right, then his left again. Provided you do this quickly, you'll be able to land a hit. For the second form, there's not much difference with or without a shield as it can't block Demise's Skyward Strikes anyway.
==Connection to Ganon/Ganondorf==
{{Theory}}
After he is defeated, he vows that his hatred will manifest itself time and time again, and it will pursue the descendants of Link and [[Zelda]] as long as [[Hyrule]] is in existence; possibly hinting that he is the origin of [[Ganon|Ganondorf]].

==Trivia==
* Although they sound different due to physical appearances, [[Demise]] uses the same voice as [[Scervo]] and [[Dreadfuse]].
* Though Demise himself doesn't appear in [[The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Warriors|Hyrule Warriors]], there is a reference to him when Ghirahim compares Ganondorf to him at the end of the Ganondorf's Return scenario.

'''Impa''' is a recurring character in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. She often serves as the guardian or nursemaid of [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]].
==Appearances==
===The Legend of Zelda===
[[File:Link-and-Impa-Art.png|left|200px]]
In the first game of the series, ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', Impa was the first one to inform [[Link]] of Princess Zelda's plight, and how she was captured by [[Ganon]] and spread the [[Triforce Shard|pieces]] of the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] across the land. Impa sends Link on his journey to collect the Triforce of Wisdom, and, in turn, save Zelda. She is never actually seen in game; only in a part of the story that happens before Link starts his quest. Because of this, there are no sprites to be found of her, only artwork.
===The Adventure of Link===
Years after the events of ''The Legend of Zelda'', Link asks Impa about a mark resembling the [[Triforce]] that appears on the back on his hand. She takes him to the [[North Palace]] and explains that a sleeping spell was cast on a previous princess and that Link must locate the [[Triforce of Courage]] to awaken her. According to Impa, he must place crystals in six [[dungeon|palaces]].{{Ref|AoL|1|Title Screen}}
===Ocarina of Time===
[[File:Impa.png|120px|left]]
Impa appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' as the loyal [[Sheikah]] body guard, or nursemaid, of Princess Zelda. She is depicted as a woman with a sturdy build, short white hair in a small ponytail and red eyes. Her appearance is quite younger than some of the other games she appears in. She was born and raised in [[Kakariko Village]], and still maintains a watchful eye over the village despite her duty to the [[Royal Family of Hyrule|Royal Family]].
Link first meets Impa after sneaking past the guards in [[Hyrule Castle]] to meet with Princess Zelda. Impa then teaches Link [[Zelda's Lullaby]] because of what Zelda's dream had foretold. She then escorts Link out of the castle. After they are safely outside the Castle, Impa advises Link to go to Kakariko Village and see what clues he can find that lead to the [[Goron's Ruby|Spiritual Stone of Fire]].
Upon collecting all the [[Spiritual Stones]], Link returns to a scene much like the dream he had at the start of the game. Impa is shown fleeing on a white horse with Zelda. Zelda then throws an object at Link, which he discovers to be the [[Ocarina of Time]]. [[Ganon]]dorf is shown following close behind them on a black horse, and questions Link as to which direction Impa and Zelda went. It becomes apparent that Ganondorf has taken over Hyrule Castle, and this forced Impa to flee with Zelda.
Seven years later when Link goes to Kakariko in order to investigate the location of the [[Shadow Medallion]], Link finds out that Impa has sealed away a [[Bongo Bongo|great evil]] in the [[Bottom of the Well]] prior to the events in ''Ocarina of Time''. This great evil had taken up residence in the [[Shadow Temple]], and Impa had disappeared trying to seal it again. After defeating [[Bongo Bongo]], the great evil, Impa awakens as the Sage of Shadow. She asks Link to take care of Zelda since her duties of being a [[Seven Sages|Sage]] keep her from Zelda's side. Impa and the other Sages lend Link their power in sealing Ganondorf. Impa is last seen during the end credits standing atop [[Death Mountain]] with the other Sages.

===Oracle games===
[[File:Impa-Art.png|130px|right]]
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'', Impa is the Royal Nurse for Princess Zelda and has cared for her since her birth..{{Ref|name=nurse|OoS|758|Impa}}
====Oracle of Seasons====
Impa was sent to [[Holodrum]] to take [[Din (Oracle)|Din]], the Oracle of Seasons, back to Hyrule.{{Ref|name=nurse}} She works as the cook for the troupe of performers that Din dances for.{{Ref|OoS|447|Impa}} After [[Onox]] kidnaps Din, she tells Link that he must save Holodrum and restore the seasons, and that he should first visit the [[Maku Tree (Oracle of Seasons)|Maku Tree]].{{Ref|OoS|759|Impa}}
====Oracle of Ages====
[[File:Impa-Sprite.png|left]] Impa was sent to [[Labrynna]] by Princess Zelda with instruction to bring [[Nayru (Oracle)|Nayru]] back to Hyrule in order to protect her from shadows that surround her. Impa is found early in the game being attacked by a trio of [[Octorok]]s but once Link appears, the octoroks quickly run off. Impa is looking for Nayru and with Link's help she is able to reach the Oracle. However, it is revealed that [[Veran]] had been controlling Impa and used Link to reach Nayru and possess her body.
After reverting to her normal self, she thanks Link for saving her. After seeing the symbol of the Triforce on Link's left hand, she tells Link that he is the hero that must save this world. She will give you the [[Wooden Sword]], which was entrusted to her by Princess Zelda. Impa will then take refuge in Nayru's house for much of the game.
In a [[Linked Game]], Impa will give Link a [[Wooden Shield]] instead of the Wooden Sword.
===The Wind Waker===
Impa does not make a direct appearance in this game, though in the room of [[Hyrule Castle]] where the [[Master Sword]] is kept, there are stained glass windows depicting all the [[Seven Sages]] from ''Ocarina of Time''.
===Skyward Sword===
[[File:Impa-SS.png|200px|right]]
Of the Sheikah race from the ''Zelda'' series, Impa bears all their markings and style of dress. An enemy of [[Ghirahim]], Impa saves Zelda from Ghirahim and 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.
At the [[Temple of Time]], Impa defends Zelda from Ghirahim to the best of her ability before Ghirahim overpowers her. Link acquires the [[Goddess's Harp]] from Zelda as she escapes with Impa through the [[Gate of Time]].
Impa is the "servant of the goddess" that Ghirahim refers to as being the one who snatched Zelda out of his clutches.
{{Spoiler|section}}
In the end of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'', [[Zelda]] begs Impa to follow her back to [[Skyloft]]. Impa refuses, saying that as the "servant of the goddess" she must remain in her regular time era. Impa then tells Zelda to not worry because they will meet again when the time comes. Zelda then gives Impa one of her bracelets as a parting gift. Once Zelda travels back to her current time era, she sees that the old woman at the [[Sealed Temple]] has her bracelet. She realizes that she actually was with Impa the whole time. Impa then disappears.
{{clear}}
===A Link Between Worlds===
[[File:Impa-Artwork.png|left|200px]]
Impa makes an appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]''. She appears to take on her classical role as the aid to the princess and she wears familiar clothing.
She is later revealed as one of the seven descendants of the Seven Sages. She is captured by [[Yuga]] and held within his possession.
After Link journeys into [[Lorule]], the seven sages are scattered throughout the overworld. Impa's painting is hidden deep within [[Turtle Rock (A Link Between Worlds)|Turtle Rock]]. Link will need to traverse through the dungeon and defeat the boss [[Grinexx]] in order to save her.
Impa, along with the six other sages use their power to give Link the [[Triforce of Courage]] and also work to break the barrier that is surrounding [[Lorule Castle]].
{{clear}}
===Breath of the Wild===
{{image|file=Impa.jpg|size=240px|align=right}}
Impa can be found in [[Kakariko Village (Breath of the Wild)|Kakariko Village]] where she serves as the village elder. After surviving the Calamity 100 years ago, she awaits for Link's arrival. After Link completes the first four shrines on the [[Great Plateau]], Link is advised to visit Impa by [[Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule|King Rhoam]] during the cut-scene at the [[Temple of Time (Breath of the Wild)|Temple of Time]]. Upon Link's arrival, she is pleased to see him, but soon discovers that Link has lost all of his memories.{{Ref|''...So you're finally awake. It has been quite a long time... Link. I am much older now, but... you remember me, don't you?'' - '''Impa''', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''.}}{{Ref|''What is the matter? You are looking at me as though I am a stranger to you. Those eyes... They lack the light of familiarity. It is I, courageous one, Impa. Surely you must at least remember the name Impa?'' - '''Impa''', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''.}}{{Ref|''I see... So you have lost your memory.'' - '''Impa''', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''.}} Impa has a message from [[Zelda]] that she was given 100 years ago and has waited to tell Link, and once heard, Link will need to be prepared to his his life.{{Ref|''Well, it matters not. In fact, that may actually be a blessing in disguise for the time being.'' - '''Impa''', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''.}}{{Ref|''Dearest Link... Please come a bit closer. A hundred years ago... Yes... A hundred years ago, the kingdom of Hyrule was destroyed. After you fell, Princess Zelda's final wish was to place you in a sacred slumber. And then...all alone... Alone she went to face Ganon. Before Princess Zelda went to nobly meet her fate...she entrusted me with some words she wished to say to you. I have been waiting 100 years to deliver the princess's message. However! These words, which the princess risked her life to leave you... Well, if you are to hear them... You must be prepared to risk your life as well. But I am afraid that burden may be too much to bear while you are still without your memories. I leave the choice to you. When you feel you are ready to receive the princess's message, return to me.'' - '''Impa''', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''.}}{{Ref|''The words that the princess risked her life to impart to you...I cannot pass them on to someone who lacks conviction. Are you prepared to risk your life for the greater good?'' - '''Impa''', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''.}}{{Ref|''There was a time when you would have fearlessly charged forward on such a challenge without a moment's hesitation. Well, it is what it is. In any case, please return here once your heart remembers what your mind has forgotten.'' - '''Impa''', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''.}}{{Ref|''Not a memory to your name, yet you are as intent as ever to charge forward with only courage and justice on your side. You have not changed a bit. Once a hero, always a hero. Very well. Since you have lost your memory, I will recount for you all that has happened...'' - '''Impa''', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''.}}
Impa will tell Link the story of the legend that occurred 10,000 years ago of how Hyrule drove back Ganon.{{Ref|''The history of the royal family of Hyrule is also the history of Calamity Ganon, a primal evil that has endured over the ages. This evil has been turned back time and time again by a warrior wielding the soul, of a hero, and a princess who carries the blood of the Goddess. With the passage of time, each conflict with Ganon faded into legend. So listen closely as I tell you of this "legend" that occurred 10,000 years ago.'' - '''Impa''', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''.}}{{Ref|''Hyrule was then blossoming as a highly advanced civilization. Even the most powerful monsters posed little threat to the denizens of the realm. The people thought it wise to utilize their technological prowess to ensure the safety of the land, should Calamity Ganon ever return. They constructed four mechanical wonders that came to be known as the Divine Beasts. They also built a legion of autonomous weapons called Guardians. The Divinie Beats were piloted by four individuals of exceptional skill from across the land. And thus, the plan to neutralize Ganon was forged. Upon Ganon's inevitable return to Hyrule, the princess and the hero fought alongside these four champions against this ancient evil. The Guardians were tasked with protecting the hero as the Divine Beasts unleashed a furious attack upon their terrible foe. And when the hero wielding the sword that seals the darkness delivered his final blow... The princess used her sacred power to seal away Calamity Ganon.'' - '''Impa''', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''.}}
Impa will then tell Link about the [[Great Calamity]] from 100 years ago and the four [[Divine Beast]]s.{{Ref|''A hundred years ago... in preparation for the foretold revival of Ganon, we strove to follow the lead of our ancestors of 10,000 years prior. But...in the end... Despite our best efforts and creful planning, we underestimated his power. In order to avoid ever making that grave mistake again, the princess left you these words... Free the four Divine Beasts. That is what she said.'' - '''Impa''', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''.}}{{Ref|''The four Divine Beasts are the ancient Sheikah weapons wielded by the four Champions who Ganon defeated. The Divine Beast Vah Rudania, controlled by Daruk of the Gorons. The Divine Beast Vah Medoh, controlled by Revali of the Rito. The Divine Beast Vah Ruta, controlled by Mipha of the Zora. And the Divine Beast Vah Naboris, controlled by Urbosa of the Gerudo. It would be extremely ill-advised to face Ganon without the power of the Divine Beasts to help you... You must infiltrate the Divine Beasts that were stolen away by Ganon 100 years ago and bring them back to our side. More information about these Divine Beasts can be found by locating the four races scattered across Hyrule. The Sheikah Slate will guide you on your way. You must go where it tells you and meet with each leader there.'' - '''Impa''', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''.}}
Impa then directs Link to [[Hateno Village]] to meet [[Purah]] and [[Symin]] at the [[Hateno Ancient Tech Lab]]. This will open the [[Locked Mementos]] quest.{{Ref|''...It seems to me that your Sheikah Slate is not yet complete. The device Princess Zelda left you is your guide and also your memory. Now, let's see... Someone at the research lab in Hateno Village might be able to help you...'' - '''Impa''', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''.}}{{Ref|''The location shining on the eastern edge is Hateno Village. It is a small village... One of the very few places that avoided suffering significant damage during the Great Calamity. '' - '''Impa''', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''.}}{{Ref|''You are Princess Zelda's only hope... and Hyrule's, as well... You cannot turn back now. Follow your heart and seize your destiny!'' - '''Impa''', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''.}} After meeting up with Purah and Symin and restoring some of the power of the Sheikah Slate, they suggest that Link head back and speak with Impa once again. Once Link has done so, this will complete the Locked Mementos quest.{{Ref|''I heard Purah was giving you the runaround, but you seem just fine.'' - '''Impa''', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''.}}
Impa will glance at Link's update Sheikah Slate and will immediately realize that it is the same camera that Princess Zelda used 100 years ago.{{Ref|''Now then... Let me see. Aha! This is, without a doubt, the Camera that Princess Zelda used 100 years ago.'' - '''Impa''', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''.}} Impa will task Link in visiting the locations that are shown within the pictures. Doing so may help Link restore some of his lost memories. Additionally, Impa tells Link to visit her once she has found one of these locations.{{Ref|''It could be that if you visit the locations within those pictures, you will be able to restore some of your lost memories. Come back here once you have tried going to at least one of those locations. There is something I wish to give to you.'' - '''Impa''', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''.}} This will begin another one of the new main quests titled [[Captured Memories]].
Once Link has recovered one of the [[Recovered Memory|memories]] found in the [[Sheikah Slate]], Impa will gift Link the [[Champion's Tunic]]; the very same Link wore 100 years ago. Later, after Link has recovered 17 of his memories, Impa will show Link a painting of a specific location, and explains that it portrays the area where Link will restore the final memory.

'''The Imprisoned''' is a large, black monster in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. It is contained in the [[Sealed Grounds]] in the [[Faron Woods]] region with a seal initially created by the [[Hylia|goddess]] and later upheld by [[Link]]. Link first sees this monster in his dreams, once at the beginning of the game, and again after [[Zelda]] falls beneath the clouds, in which this monster eats her.
==History==
The Imprisoned is actually an alternate form of [[Demise]], the Demon King, as Link learns after stepping through the [[Gate of Time]]. 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.
Over many years, the seal began to weaken. The Imprisoned successfully breaks free four times throughout the course of ''Skyward Sword''. On the fourth time, he regains his true form as Demise. Link can use the power of a [[Skyward Strike]] to seal him again after weakening him.
==Battles==
Link battles with The Imprisoned in the Sealed Grounds several times in the game. Each time they meet, The Imprisoned has a slightly different appearance. He is always trying to reach the [[Sealed Temple]], and Link must defeat him before he makes it there.
There is an alternative, easier, strategy to these official ones below. If you are on a higher level of the Sealed Grounds, you can jump down on to his head, then slash downwards at the sealing spike to take him out. Do this three times, and The Imprisoned is defeated. But feel free to challenge yourself with these:
===First Battle===
{{Fi|I have insufficient data on this monster. Its enormous size and ominous aura cannot be compared with previously encountered monsters. I can confirm that the sealing spike observed at the top of its head is the same object originally found in the Sealed Grounds. I hypothesize that damage can be
inflicted by driving the stone pillar into the monster's head. But first, I recommend attacking the beast's feet--where your [[sword]] can reach--to stop it from moving. It is probable that the monster will be unable to move if you destroy all of its toes. I recommend using the air vents to move ahead of the monster instead of chasing it from behind. If you are able to get between the monster's toes, my analysis indicates you can effectively inflict great damage with a [[Spin Attack]]. You can also choose to decrease your risk of physical harm by using [[bomb]]s to attack from a distance.}}
{{image|file=The-Imprisoned-1-1-Large.jpg|align=right|type=caption|caption=Attacking The Imprisoned's toes|size=300px}} During the fight, The Imprisoned will slowly walk up the ramp to the top of the Sealed Grounds. To stop him from progressing, Link must slash at his toes multiple times to break each one. After the last one is destroyed, The Imprisoned will fall on this back. At this point, Link can run to The Imprisoned's head and slash at the pillar in his head. After slashing multiple times, The Imprisoned will stand upright again, and Link must continue this process to defeat him.
{{image|file=The-Imprisoned-2-2-Large.jpg|align=left|type=caption|caption=Slashing the pillar|size=300px}} To defeat The Imprisoned in perhaps and quicker and more effective way, you can also use the Sail to float up to the next level of ground above the monster. When he draws near, you can jump onto his head and slash at the pillar on its head.
The Imprisoned has very little in terms of attack. His only real attack is either contact with Link, or by stomping on him when Link becomes careless and walks underneath his foot, or is within the radius of damage the stomp will produce. These can easily be dodged by being careful when attacking the toes. After a few hits, The Imprisoned will also slither across the ground and shoot far up the ramp. This can be dodge by either jumping down to a lower level or by flying up to the next level.
{{clear}}
===Second Battle===
{{Fi|There is insufficient data on this target to make a full report at this time. But I can confirm the appearance of limb-like appendages that were not previously present. The evil power of this creature has also increased. Analysis indicates that you should be able to use the same basic strategy as in
the previous encounter to seal the monster in its prison once more. The fingers and toes on its limbs can be destroyed with a physical attack, but you should wait to do so until these targets become a very high priority. I calculate a 100% probability that the large apparatus [[Groose]] constructed will be effective against this monster. It is likely that a direct hit from this apparatus will stop the monster's movement, creating a window of opportunity for you to attack. Groose's defense apparatus can be repositioned by pushing [control stick left/right]. When the monster is in your blind spot, I recommend you reposition the apparatus and target the monster.}}
{{image|file=1505.jpg|align=right|type=caption|caption=The Imprisoned climbing a wall|size=300px}} The battle is a bit different this time around as The Imprisoned now has the gigantic arms to deal with. The first phase is still rather similar. Slash at its giant toes to cause it to fall to the ground. However, with each step it takes, it gives off a large red electric charge, so it's quite difficult to get in close. Additionally, now that The Imprisoned has arms, it will try to climb up the sides, so you don't want to allow thato happen. Once the Grooseanator has powered aim, call on over and use the catapult to send a bomb flying at The Imprisoned. This will keep him at bay for a short period of time, allowing you to get quality sword slashes in for its toes.
{{image|file=1506.jpg|align=left|type=caption|caption=Using the Groosenator|size=300px}} To attack The Imprisoned in perhaps and quicker and more effective way, you can also use the Sail to float up to the next level of ground above the monster. When he draws near, you can jump onto his head and slash at the pillar on its head.
The Grooseanator will take a few moments to setup once again, so you'll be on your own for a few moments. Once it is ready, deliver another bomb attack and finish off the toes, sending The Imprisoned to the ground. You won't be able to run around The Imprisoned this time. Since it has those massive arms that take up a lot of room, you can just run around it. You'll have to jump down to the ground level below, run behind it and use an air geyser to get back up. Run on over to the seal on its head and deliver three uppercut sword slashes to knock that seal back in.
After the second set of three sword slashes to the Seal, The Imprisoned will fall on its stomach and slide its way up a considerable amount of the Sealed Grounds. Follow it up using the wind geysers and repeat the same method once again. After a total of nine strikes to the Seal on its head, The Imprisoned will fall back into the seal at the bottom of the Sealed Grounds. Jump on down and deliver a Skyward Strike. Use your Wiimote and deliver strikes in proper angles to fully seal The Imprisoned once again.
{{clear}}
===Third Battle===
{{Fi|Though the details are still unclear, this monstrosity is the demonic vessel of Demise. I can confirm a previously unseen taillike appendage. I recommend generous use of Groose's catapult. You must attempt to seal this beast away again. I suggest a plan of attack similar to what you used in previous encounters. The monster's fingers, like its toes, are comparatively soft targets and can be destroyed by physical attack. After toppling the monster, it is possible that the beast's enormous bulk may prevent you from approaching the sealing spike. In this scenario, I recommend that you descend a level and use an air vent to travel to the head of the monster.}}
{{image|file=1603.jpg|align=right|type=caption|caption=Preparing to fly over to The Imprisoned|size=300px}} The first part of The Imprisoned battle is identical to the previous battle. Smack at its toes and use the Grooseanator to keep it at bay. After hitting the seal on its back three times, The Imprisoned will begin to fly! Ya, that's right. Once Groose is ready to operate, hit The Imprisoned with another bomb, causing it to fall to the ground. Run on over and deliver several sword strikes to the seal on its head.
{{image|file=1604.jpg|align=left|type=caption|caption=Attacking the pillar|size=300px}} To defeat The Imprisoned in perhaps and quicker and more effective way, you can also use the Sail to float up to the next level of ground above the monster. When he draws near, you can jump onto his head and slash at the pillar on its head.
During the third phase, problems will arise as Groose has been cut-off from his bomb supply. Run on over and use a series of wind geysers to ride all the way to the top of the Sealed Grounds. Run on over to Groose and he'll suggest to catapult you onto The Imprisoned's head. Jump into the catapult and use it to shoot yourself on the Imprisoned's head. Deliver three overhead sword strikes to defeat The Imprisoned once again. Deliver a Skyward Strike and then perform directional swipes with the sword to restore the seal.

1 ZonauReliefSearch Read the tablet's text.
2 ZonauReliefSearch Here's a picture.
3 ZonauReliefSearch Maybe later.
4 ZonauReliefSearch Leave.
5 ZonauReliefSearch Hear Wortsworth's take.
9 ZonauReliefSearch You know it!
10 ZonauReliefSearch Who are you again?
near_0008 ZonauReliefSearch This means...
near_0010 ZonauReliefSearch Very interesting.
Talk0004 ZonauReliefSearch Well? Did you find a stone tablet?
Talk0006 ZonauReliefSearch According to the stone tablet at Lookout Landing, we have left to find.
talk0026 ZonauReliefSearch The stone tablet that fell from the sky is inscribed with ancient Hyrulean.If I can manage to translate the text... it may be key to understanding a moment in time from ancient Hyrule.
talk0027 ZonauReliefSearch I can translate this from ancient Hyrulean, but my notes are back at the research lab in Kakariko Village.So I'll be heading there to check this text against my notes and proceed with the translation.
talk0028 ZonauReliefSearch Did you notice the number 13 there?That means there are 12 more stone tablets to be found.If a royal chamberlain really left these...It's an interesting perspective on the day-to-day life of the era. One which the history books don't mention.There's so much we could learn here of King Rauru, Queen Sonia, or even this curious woman named Zelda.Twelve stone tablets left... Fascinating.
talk0029 ZonauReliefSearch Link? I can see the excitement on your face clear as day. Have you already found something?!If you've tracked down a picture of a stone tablet like the one at Lookout Landing, I'd love to see it.
Talk0029 ZonauReliefSearch There should be left.
talk0030 ZonauReliefSearch Huh. Suit yourself, I suppose. I'm sure you have your reasons.But if you change your mind, please come and show me a picture of that stone tablet.If it helps, I'm not asking you to show me for free. There's a nice reward in it.
Talk0040 ZonauReliefSearch If you happen to find more stone tablets on your travels, get some kind of visual evidence of them and show it to me.I'll make sure there's a nice reward in it for you.
Talk0041 ZonauReliefSearch Speaking of which, Robbie showed me something back when he was researching the Ring Ruins.He called it a "camera." It would instantly create a picture of whatever he pointed it at.The pictures were so clear that it was like looking at the real thing.If only I had pictures that clear of these stone tablets I'm researching...
Talk0043 ZonauReliefSearch Ah, Link. Good of you to come.
Talk0044 ZonauReliefSearch If you bring me visual evidence, there's a reward in it for you.
Talk0046 ZonauReliefSearch The original text of the stone tablet is depicted here. I'll read it again for you, so listen well.
Talk0047 ZonauReliefSearch This is a picture of the stone tablet that fell from the sky at Lookout Landing.I managed to decipher the inscription on it using my notes on ancient Hyrulean I had in storage at this research lab.
Talk0048 ZonauReliefSearch Here's what it says."Ones held y honore als hochmayde to kyng Rauru ond quen Sonia, thaerafter to his suster ond to princesse Zelda."Her on thaes grete stan ond twelf mo withalle make y endite min time with the roial familie."So michte heore remembraunce preserven for the sake of hem on whom oure hope raeste."There's not much to go on, but you can clearly read the names of King Rauru and Queen Sonia, the founders of Hyrule.The name "Zelda" is clearly legible elsewhere in the text.The author finishes by saying that she will write about the royal family's daily lives in 13 segments.It certainly seems to be a royal diary left behind by a chamberlain or someone of equivalent station.The part that catches my attention is the third name mentioned—Zelda.There's no record of anyone by that name in any of the other texts we've unearthed so far.But this is evidence that the name Zelda is much older than the princess—it dates all the way back to Hyrule's founding.What's written here must be the start of a firsthand account of Hyrule!
Talk0049 ZonauReliefSearch "Ones held y honore als hochmayde to kyng Rauru ond quen Sonia, thaerafter to his suster ond to princesse Zelda."Her on thaes grete stan ond twelf mo withalle make y endite min time with the roial familie."So michte heore remembraunce preserven for the sake of hem on whom oure hope raeste."Not much to go on, but the author was a servant to the founding king and queen of Hyrule, Rauru and Sonia.She also attended the king's elder sister and someone named Zelda. It's an account of their daily lives in 13 parts.Which suggests that there are 12 other stone tablets out there.I wonder what stories they might tell... It's so exciting to think about.If you find any of the remaining stone tablets, by all means get some visual evidence, and bring it to me.I'll make sure there's a reward for you.
Talk0050 ZonauReliefSearch What a droll sense of humor!It's me, Wortsworth. The ancient-Hyrulean scholar you met at Lookout Landing.Aren't you curious about my findings here, Link?
Talk0051 ZonauReliefSearch I thought so. I'm glad to see you showing an interest in my work.
Talk0052 ZonauReliefSearch Hm? Are you interested in the text from the stone tablet discovered at Lookout Landing?
Talk0053 ZonauReliefSearch Too curious to stay away, eh?
Talk0054 ZonauReliefSearch Are you really that interested in the text from the stone tablet discovered at Lookout Landing?
talk0081 ZonauReliefSearch Don't tell me. Based on your stature, physique, and distinctive right arm...you must be Link. Am I right? Purah has told me so much about you.I'm Wortsworth. My research specialty is ancient Hyrulean.And by ancient Hyrulean, I don't mean the text found in the Ring Ruins but something different.It's what we call the language used at the time of Hyrule's founding. Traces of it are still present in our speech today.You see the difference, I trust.
talk0082 ZonauReliefSearch I've already copied down what's inscribed here, so I'll be getting back to the village.
talk0084 ZonauReliefSearch Ah, Link. You've come just in time. Have a look at this.
talk0087 ZonauReliefSearch This inscription has tremendous archaeological value. It's a bridge connecting us to the distant past.I aim to unravel its mysteries. And the sooner I get started the better.
talk0088 ZonauReliefSearch If that piques your interest, Link, you should come to Kakariko Village so I can share what I've translated so far.
talk_03 ZonauReliefSearch "So swete the song of kyng Rauru, ond so grete the beaute of his susteres daunce, that wer min eies ond eres captif."Ond so hende quen Sonias gasen on us alle, so felt y min herte als captif fallen."Seruantes lyf, tho moche laboursum, han moche jolitee as welle.

talk_09 ZonauReliefSearch "Princesse Zelda recent comes to sen Mineru, the kynges elder suster. I com eck, for hir to seruen."Todai cam hit ipassen that Mineru sheued to Zelda construct althergrettest y hav ysen. "Zelda, she much desired on hit to riden, ond ne conne nat y seien coust hir stoppen. Though I dyde protesten. Loudli. "Neuer the lesse she made to sitten heighe upon the constructes sculdres ond to riden like an hors, al ful of grace. "Min lausion, so graunt alredy, dyde grouen al the mor."

talk_100 ZonauReliefSearch Oh... Wait a moment. Wasn't this the final stone tablet?
talk_101 ZonauReliefSearch This is...unbelievable!The details are unclear, but essentially, the chamberlain trusted in Mineru and Zelda's predictions and wanted to help.She put forth the suggestion to Mineru to build a mechanism that could make her stone tablets float in the sky.Which I take it are the very tablets you found, Link? Simply incredible.In finding the fantastic devices they built to preserve these records, you fulfilled the wishes she wrote of here.And it doesn't end there.If I'm reading this right, it suggests that their Zelda worked with Mineru to raise the Temple of Time into the sky!The idea of the Temple of Time, a grand edifice built in that ancient era, being lifted to the skies to await a hero...Trust me—that's what it says!Although given the appearance of the sky islands after the Upheaval, perhaps it's not so far-fetched as it seems?There are so many revelations here... My hands are trembling from all the strange, exciting ideas!And that's from merely reading an account long removed from the event.What must it have been like for the chamberlain to live through it?
talk_102 ZonauReliefSearch We collected all 13 of them!I can't believe it!Finally, I've translated the whole history. I'm going to need a moment.Now that I've read all of it...well, to step outside my role as researcher, I'm deeply impressed with the author.I would very much have liked to meet her. If only the vast gulf of time didn't separate us!But of course, collecting the 13 records on these stone tablets would have been impossible without your cooperation, Link.In recognition of your work as a member— well, honorary member—of the survey team, I want you to have this cloth.
talk_103 ZonauReliefSearch I gained some precious understanding from my analysis of the text discovered this time.This history the chamberlain left for posterity contains not just facts but an important record of her feelings.I want to continue my research of ancient Hyrulean so I can convey those feelings to the rest of the world!Link, thank you very much for working with me on this!
talk_106 ZonauReliefSearch The thought of such incredible historical artifacts falling down all over Hyrule is so exciting.
talk_107 ZonauReliefSearch My head is spinning... I need to lie down.This is an incredible find!An eyewitness account of the Temple of Time floating up into the sky?It's a landmark discovery for the history of Hyrule. It may be one of the top 10 most important discoveries of all time!Even among all the breathtaking displays of power we knew of from the era, to raise the land and its buildings into the sky...That was a feat impressive even to those accustomed to wonders. You can tell as much from this account.Zelda predicted that a hero would appear in the land they raised into the sky and that he would save Hyrule.The chamberlain took this on faith and wanted to know how she could help.So she inscribed these records on the stone tablets that Mineru sent into the sky.Aaah! I'm so overwhelmed that the tremors have gone past my hands and legs. My whole body is shaking!Please excuse me. This is no way for a researcher to behave.I need to view these accounts as a historian and not get so swept up in personal sentiments...
talk_108 ZonauReliefSearch It seems this is the last of the records.The royals whom the chamberlain served so faithfully were gone, one by one...It's heartrending to read. Her pain comes across so clearly in her words.What's less clear from these entries is the cause of all these partings...Well, each new mystery is an opportunity to do more research! If I keep digging, someday I'll unravel it.Like the noble chamberlain, I must do my part!

talk_120 ZonauReliefSearch A Parting Resolve
talk_121 ZonauReliefSearch This is an account of a party from those days.It says King Rauru and his older sister sang and danced together while Queen Sonia looked on.We think of royalty as austere and reserved, but these nobles amused themselves with song and dance.But what a vivid recounting of a scene never before related in any history book...The descriptions of their personalities and expressions make the ancient past feel alive again.This stone tablet is a first-class find. Well done, dear chamberlain, in leaving behind this account for us.I'm positively beside myself to think of how this story from the ancient past persevered so long to reach us today.
talk_122 ZonauReliefSearch This one looks to be about Queen Sonia. It claims that Sonia was a priestess before marrying Rauru.Despite his status as a Zonai, a people popularly thought to be gods, she would counsel him without any trepidation.Moreover, Rauru heeded this counsel.This account gives us firsthand knowledge of the nature of Queen Sonia and King Rauru's relationship.Rauru found himself unexpectedly charmed by her strong will, and before long, they were married...Er, that last bit isn't in the text. That's me speculating.History rarely speaks of a person's character prior to being elevated to royalty. So I can't help but fantasize.
talk_123 ZonauReliefSearch This is a tale of King Rauru.Apparently, he would vacate his official business from time to time in order to go out hunting.I had the impression he was a stricter, more serious king, but I guess he had a lighter side as well.However, Queen Sonia was always a step ahead. She would put a stop to King Rauru's hunts and bring him back.We rarely get a glimpse into the down-to- earth side of royalty in this way. It's an important find, to be sure.
talk_124 ZonauReliefSearch The subject here is the actions King Rauru and Queen Sonia undertook not long after Hyrule's founding.With the kingdom established, they were worried for their people, so they set out to eradicate the monsters troubling them.They created structures called Shrines of Light to seal the monsters away so that they could never be revived.There's more here about light...and time too... The sense I get is that the two of them may have had supernatural powers.Though it's part of ancient history, it's a feat those of us living today should still be grateful for. Truly an important discovery.
talk_125 ZonauReliefSearch Here, we learn a bit about Mineru.It says that she neglected to eat or sleep while making something called a...construct?It was part of her research into a means of returning to life as a spirit possessing a new body, should her original one die.To you or I, this sounds less like history and more like some sort of ghost story.But remember who we're dealing with. They may have had unfathomable powers that made such things possible.The revelation that Mineru was a fellow researcher makes her feel like a kindred spirit to me, and yet...The chamberlain who inscribed these tablets treats Mineru with such care and kindness that it warms my heart.
talk_126 ZonauReliefSearch This is another fascinating entry.If my translation is correct, the Zelda described here is Sonia's distant relative.According to this, she arrived in Hyrule unexpectedly from another kingdom. It seems she was a beautiful princess.Her strange clothing perplexed the people of Hyrule, and many were suspicious of her at first.But this Zelda had such an undeniable air of nobility that those who doubted she was of royal birth were soon silenced.Note how clearly this conveys the writer's feelings regarding Zelda.Once it was clear Zelda would be staying, she applied to be chamberlain to the princess. That suggests real admiration.
talk_127 ZonauReliefSearch The subject here is Zelda and Mineru.Zelda apparently visited Mineru often to assist with her research.I have no idea what kind of thing this "construct" that allowed people to ride on it was.But Zelda rode it so well that our author the chamberlain was again impressed by her skill at everything she tried.That's the long and short of it here.But more than the narrative, what strikes me is the back and forth between the chamberlain and Zelda.The chamberlain tried to warn Zelda of the danger, but Zelda pushed past her and rode the construct anyway.It's short but so evocative of both the level of technology found in this era and the character of their visitor Zelda.The "treasure" found in these stone tablets is the pearls of wisdom and nuggets of personality contained within.
talk_128 ZonauReliefSearch Here we learn something about the fashion trends of that era.The story's catalyst is their Zelda telling a tailor about the mushroom-patterned outfits becoming popular in her homeland.Intrigued, the tailor fashioned some clothing in that vein, and it caught on in ancient Hyrule.Do you know Cece from Hateno Village? Imagine the look on her face if she were to find out!They say that trends go in cycles, but... I didn't expect mushroom patterns to have been in fashion so long ago!One last thing about the chamberlain...Her interest in fashion shows there was more to her than devoted service. She was just like anyone else in the kingdom.
talk_129 ZonauReliefSearch This one is an ancient ghost story.My understanding of ancient Hyrulean isn't perfect, but I know a ghost story when I see one.It's a firsthand account of a ghostly or maybe corpse-like woman who appeared each night looking just like their Zelda.No matter the era, it seems, people can't resist sharing a good ghost story.A bit like how there have been eyewitness accounts of our Princess Zelda in the newspaper, even though she's missing...Could our Zelda be a ghost too? No... of course not.
talk_13 ZonauReliefSearch Interesting... I'll get right to translating it.Oh! Aha... Incredible!It's firsthand Hyrulean history!
talk_130 ZonauReliefSearch That one is all about the feats Zelda performed for the sake of the hero.The details are unclear, but essentially, the chamberlain trusted in Mineru and Zelda's predictions and wanted to help.She put forth the suggestion to Mineru to build a mechanism that could make her stone tablets float in the sky.Which I take it are the very tablets you found, Link? But it doesn't end there.If my translation is correct, it suggests that their Zelda worked with Mineru to raise the Temple of Time into the sky!The idea of the Temple of Time—a grand edifice built in that ancient era—being lifted to the skies to await a hero...Although given the appearance of the sky islands after the Upheaval, perhaps it's not so far-fetched as it seems.What must it have been like for the chamberlain to live through such miraculous times?
talk_131 ZonauReliefSearch This is an eyewitness account of the day the Temple of Time floated into the sky.It's a landmark discovery for the history of Hyrule. It may be one of the top 10 most important discoveries of all time!Even among all the breathtaking displays of power we knew of from the era, to raise the land and its buildings into the sky...That was a feat impressive even to those accustomed to wonders. You can tell as much from this account.Zelda predicted that a hero would appear in the land they raised into the sky and that he would save Hyrule.The chamberlain took this on faith and wanted to know how she could help.So she inscribed these records on the stone tablets that Mineru sent into the sky.Give me a moment. I need to view these accounts as a historian and not get so swept up in personal sentiments...
talk_132 ZonauReliefSearch It seems this is the last of the records.The royals whom the chamberlain served so faithfully were gone, one by one...It's heartrending to read. Her pain comes across so clearly in her words.What's less clear from these entries is the cause of all these partings...Well, each new mystery is an opportunity to do more research. If I keep digging, someday I'll unravel it.
talk_14 ZonauReliefSearch Here's what the original text says...
talk_15 ZonauReliefSearch This is an account of a party from those days.It says King Rauru and his older sister sang and danced together while Queen Sonia looked on.It's very interesting. We think of royalty as austere and reserved, but these nobles amused themselves with song and dance.But what a vivid recounting of a scene never before related in any history book...The descriptions of their personalities and expressions make the ancient past feel alive again.This stone tablet is a first-class find! Well done, dear chamberlain, in leaving behind this account for us.I'm positively beside myself to think of how this story from the ancient past persevered so long to reach us today.
talk_16 ZonauReliefSearch Wow. This one looks to be about Queen Sonia.It claims that Sonia was a priestess before marrying Rauru.Despite his status as a Zonai, a people popularly thought to be gods, she would counsel him without any trepidation.Moreover, Rauru heeded this counsel.Incredible!This account gives us firsthand knowledge of the nature of Queen Sonia and King Rauru's relationship.Rauru found himself unexpectedly charmed by her strong will, and before long, they were married...Er, that last bit isn't in the text. That's me speculating. Nonetheless, this is truly fascinating!History rarely speaks of a person's character prior to being elevated to royalty. So I can't help but fantasize.
talk_17 ZonauReliefSearch Allow me to explain. It's actually a very enlightening story.Apparently, King Rauru would vacate his official business from time to time in order to go out hunting.I had the impression he was a stricter, more serious king, but I guess he had a lighter side as well.However, Queen Sonia was always a step ahead. She would put a stop to King Rauru's hunts and bring him back.In some circumstances, you might expect this to have been a point of tension at their court.But the tone here is much more playful than that. These royals were more relatable than one might assume.Or so it seems from this account, at least. How fascinating!We rarely get a glimpse into the down-to- earth side of royalty in this way. It's an important find, to be sure.
talk_18 ZonauReliefSearch I'll walk you through this one.The subject here is the actions King Rauru and Queen Sonia undertook not long after Hyrule's founding.With the kingdom established, they were worried for their people, so they set out to eradicate the monsters troubling them.They created structures called Shrines of Light to seal the monsters away so that they could never be revived.There's more here about light...and time too... The sense I get is that the two of them may have had supernatural powers.Though it's part of ancient history, it's a feat those of us living today should still be grateful for. Truly an important discovery!
talk_19 ZonauReliefSearch Here, we learn a bit about Mineru.It says that she neglected to eat or sleep while making something called a...construct?It was part of her research into a means of returning to life as a spirit possessing a new body, should her original one die.To you or I, this sounds less like history and more like a sort of ghost story.But remember who we're dealing with. They may have had unfathomable powers that made such things possible.The revelation that Mineru was a fellow researcher makes her feel like a kindred spirit to me, and yet...The chamberlain who inscribed these stone tablets treats Mineru with such care and kindness that it warms my heart.
talk_20 ZonauReliefSearch Do you have any others? This is vital research—I want to see as many of these stone tablets as you can show me.
talk_21 ZonauReliefSearch Wonderful! Let's see it, then!
talk_22 ZonauReliefSearch Oh, what a significant find. Thank you so much for showing me!A discovery this valuable deserves a special place among my records. I'll hang it up on the laboratory wall!
talk_23 ZonauReliefSearch Very good. And, as promised, I have a reward for you.
talk_24 ZonauReliefSearch This is another fascinating entry.If my translation is correct, the Zelda described here is Sonia's distant relative.According to this, she arrived in Hyrule unexpectedly from another kingdom. It seems she was a beautiful princess.Her strange clothing perplexed the people of Hyrule, and many were suspicious of her at first.But this Zelda had such an undeniable air of nobility that those who doubted she was of royal birth were soon silenced.What a tale!It's all so fascinating!This level of detail on individual people is virtually unheard-of in texts from so long ago!I feel extremely blessed to be researching ancient Hyrulean in such times.Note too how clearly this conveys the writer's feelings regarding Zelda.Once it was clear Zelda would be staying, she applied to be chamberlain to the princess. That suggests real admiration.
talk_25 ZonauReliefSearch The variety of tales on these stone tablets continues to fascinate me.Zelda apparently visited Mineru often to assist with her research.I have no idea what kind of thing this "construct" that allowed people to ride on it was.But Zelda rode it so well that our author the chamberlain was again impressed by her skill at everything she tried.That's the long and short of it here.But more than the narrative, what strikes me is the back and forth between the chamberlain and Zelda.The chamberlain tried to warn Zelda of the danger, but Zelda pushed past her and rode the construct anyway.It's short but so evocative of both the level of technology found in this era and the character of their visitor Zelda.The "treasure" found in these stone tablets is the pearls of wisdom and nuggets of personality contained within.
talk_26 ZonauReliefSearch How curious...Here we learn something about the fashion trends of that era.The story's catalyst is their Zelda telling a tailor about the mushroom-patterned outfits becoming popular in her homeland.Intrigued, the tailor fashioned some clothing in that vein, and it caught on in ancient Hyrule.Do you know Cece from Hateno Village? Imagine the look on her face if she were to find out!They say that trends go in cycles, but... I didn't expect mushroom patterns to have been in fashion so long ago!One last thing about the chamberlain...Her interest in fashion shows there was more to her than devoted service. She was just like anyone else in the kingdom.
talk_27 ZonauReliefSearch This one is an ancient ghost story.My understanding of ancient Hyrulean isn't perfect, but I know a ghost story when I see one.It's a firsthand account of a ghostly or maybe corpse-like woman who appeared each night looking just like their Zelda.No matter the era, it seems, people can't resist sharing a good ghost story.A bit like how there have been eyewitness accounts of our Princess Zelda in the newspaper, even though she's missing...Could our Zelda be a ghost too?! No... of course not. There's no such thing!As a believer in science, I should know better than to suggest such things. Please forget I said anything.
