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

===Sky Birds===
These are creatures native to the sky realm in which Link and Zelda's hometown of Skyloft is located. They are crucial to the culture of Skyloft as images of the birds appear all over Skyloftian carvings and clothes. The people of Skyloft each own a bird partner whom they trust with their lives as they dive straight off the floating island, trusting that their bird will hear their call and catch them as they fall. The birds are the primary form of transportation between the floating islands for the Skyloftians
Two specific sky birds belong to Link and Zelda, with Link's being red and Zelda's being a blueish-purple. The two birds appear to be close friends just like their owners, as they can be seen flying together even without Link and Zelda present. The sky birds are crucial to the bird-rider's ceremony in which several competitors ride their birds and attempt to chase down a bird carrying a statue. The victor will be rewarded with a special gift from none other than Zelda herself! It is uncertain what happens to Zelda's blue bird when she is sucked towards the surface by Ghirahim's tornado, but Link's supposedly special red bird is later seen with him as he searches for Zelda.

===Link's Rival===
===Link's Rival===
This fellow birdrider appears throughout the game in different ways.  He has a thing for Zelda and is determined to win the birdriding competition to impress her.  He competes very roughly with Link, and tries to knock him around to prevent him from taking the bird statue first.  He also has his friend throw eggs at Link to slow him down.  The ceremony leader specifically warned against this behavior just before the contest began, and the old man singled out this competitor as someone who is prone to not play by the rules.  He will probably be trying to rescue Zelda before Link does, but it isn't known whether he will be a help or a hindrance to Link's quest.

===Mogmas===
The Mogmas are a new race in Skyward Sword who live around Eldin Volcano. Their appearance a kind of cross between a prairie dog and an ape, and they are skilled diggers. Each Mogma has a unique hairstyle. When Mogmas speak with Link, they pop the top half of their bodies out of the ground and go back under immediately after they are done. They seem to have a jazzy, upbeat theme song.
The Mogmas appear to be a friendly race that helps Link, allowing Link to keep a Bomb Bag that he originally got for them, and warning Link about shady characters clad in red. At some point around the volcano area, two Mogmas are seen talking about a key for the nearby temple. They broke the key into several pieces and Link must use Phi's treasure detecting ability to locate them. It is unclear why these two Mogmas are hiding the key, but it is possible they are trying to protect the temple from intruders.
===Goron===
This Goron looks more like one that you would see in The Wind Waker than in Ocarina of Time.  He appears to be some sort of traveling merchant, away from his probable home on Death Mountain and exploring the wooded area near the Forest Temple.  His purpose is very unclear at this point, though he carries a Triforce symbol with him - the only one seen so far outside of the Siren World.  He may be able to aid Link on his journey somehow.

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

===Bulbapenguin===
This creature is found in some kind of wilderness and seems to disguise itself in various ways along with each Bulbapenguin looking unique. It emerges to talk with Link when he approaches, in a similar manner to the Business Scrubs of Ocarina of Time. It is a new race but its role in the gameplay and story is unknown.  Its actual name and identity is unknown, though it vaguely resembles a Tanooki from Japanese culture, or even a penguin or squirrel.

===Demon Tribe===
These main antagonists are evil magic users who rule the land beneath the clouds.  Headed by Lord Ghirahim, this group seeks to capture Zelda for some unknown purpose.  At the base of Eldin Volcano, the Mogma tell Link that a bunch of shady "guys in red" have entered the volcano where Zelda is supposedly hidden.  This is likely a reference to the demon tribe, since Ghirahim wears a red cloak and they are after Zelda.
There is much speculation on whether this group of sorcerers is related to one or more other races, tribes, or groups.  Ghirahim's magic greatly resembles that of the Twili, who were said to have saught control over Hyrule before the events of Ocarina of Time.  The Mysterious Woman (who has indications of being a Sheikah) shares a similar design with Lord Ghirahim, implying that these two characters may be related somehow.  Other possible connections include the "ancient tribe" who created Majora's Mask, and the "Dark Tribe."
