The City in the Sky is the seventh Dungeon in Twilight Princess. It is the home of the Oocca, a race of bird-like creatures who live in the sky exclusively to said game. Link enters the City in the Sky via the Sky Cannon, which is his prize for completing a rather lengthy, yet crucial quest, where Link must complete the Ancient Sky Book by finding six hidden Owl Statues that each hide a Sky Character. Retrieving all the Sky Characters will allow Link entrance to the room where the Sky Cannon is. Link is searching the dungeon in hopes of finding the final Mirror Shard, as directed by the Sages.

Within this dungeon, Link will see numerous Ooccas, whom he can use very similarly to Cuccos. As he seraches the dungeon, he will find himself trapped in a room with an Aeralfos, whom acts as the Mini-Boss of the dungeon. He can defeat it using his Clawshot. After defeating it, he will be rewarded with another Clawshot, giving him the Double Clawshot! He can use the Double Clawshot to gain access to the areas of the City in the Sky that were previously unreachable, including the place where the Mirror Shard lies. The Mirror Shard is being gaurded by the Boss of the City in the Sky, whom is known as Twilit Dragon: Argorok.

Enemies

Here is a listing of all the enemies Link will encounter as he searches the City in the Sky for the final Mirror Shard.

Aeralfos

Aeralfos, the Mini-Boss of the City in the Sky

The Mini-Boss of the City in the Sky is known as an Aeralfos. It is a lizard-like creature that wears an iron mask and carries a sword and shield. The battle against the Aeralfos takes place in a large, rectangular shaped room that has a very large ceiling. The high ceiling is an advantage for the Aeralfos, as it can use its wings to fly high above Link and surprise him with an attack. Conveniently, the Aeralfos' shield is exactly like the Clawshot targets Link has used his Clawshot on in the past. Because of this, Link can use the Clawshot to grab the shield and bring it, and its holder, to the ground, where he can attack with his Sword. Defeating the Aeralfos will grant Link a second Clawshot as a reward, and when combined with his other Clawshot he recieves the Double Clawshot. Later on in the dungeon, Link will face off against two Aeralfoses at once.

Twilit Dragon: Argorok

Argorok, the Boss of the City in the Sky

The Boss of the City in the Sky is known as Twilit Dragon: Argorok. It is a large dragon with huge wings and that wears tons of black, shiny, hard armor all around its body. The body takes place on the highest platform of the City in the Sky, where Link could look over the edge and see the entire City in the Sky directly in front of him. As with most Bosses in the Zelda Series, the Dungeon Item, the Double Clawshot is required to defeat Argorok. The first phase of the battle is all about removing the armor to reach Argorok's weakspot, a shiny orb on its back. The second phase is about punishing the weakspot with attacks from the Master Sword. Once Argorok has been defeated, Link will be rewarded with a Heart Container as well as the fourth and final Mirror Shard. With the fourth Mirror Shard in hand, Link has finally restored the Mirror of Twilight to its former form. Link can now use the Mirror of Twilight to enter the Twilight Realm, where Midna believes Zant lies.

Dungeon Items

The City in the Sky features the main four Dungeon Items that every dungeon in Twilight Princess has, the Dungeon Map, the Compass, the Big Key, and the Small Key.

Dungeon Map

The Dungeon Map is used to show Link exactly how the City in the Sky is laid out, with each room drawn to scale.This becomes very useful to Link as he continues searching the City in the Sky. Link can find the Dungeon Map in a Treasure Chest in the large room to the far west (Wii) of the dungeon.

Compass

The Compass is used to show Link the location of every Treasure Chest on his map, as well as the location of the Boss of the City in the Sky, Argorok. It can be found in one of the first couple of rooms available to Link directly after he gets the Double Clawshot.

Big Key

The Big Key is used to unlock the door that leads to the Boss Chamber, where Argorok lies. This key is found in one of the final Treasure Chests that Link will open on his way to the final Mirror Shard.

Small Keys

The Small Key is used to unlock the locked door that is on the other side of the bridge that is west (Wii) of the large center room of the dungeon. The Key itself is located in a Treasure Chest that is on the other side of the bridge to the east (Wii) of the large center room.

Treasure Chests

Throughout the City in the Sky, there are twenty-four (24) Treasure Chests that Link can open to gain a variety of items. These chests are located all around the dungeon, from the bottom of a pool of water to behind a fan, there are very well hidden. The chests contain items that can be grouped into five main categories, Rupees, Regular Items, Dungeon Items, Equipment, and Pieces of Heart.

Rupees

Of the twenty-four Treasure Chests located in the City in the Sky, exactly half (12) of them contain any amount of Rupees. Of these tweleve chests, two (2) of them carry a single Yellow Rupee, which in Twilight Princess is worth 10 Rupees. The next six (6) chests all contain a Red Rupee, which throughout the Zelda Series has always been worth 20 Rupees. The remaining four (4) Treasure Chests contain a Purple Rupee, which is worth a profitable 50 Rupees. In total, Link can collect at least 340 Rupees just from Treasure Chests in the City in the Sky.

Regular Items

There are five (5) total Treasure Chests located in the City in the Sky that contain any type of a Regular Item. The first of these chests carry 15 Water Bombs, which ironically are never used in the City in the Sky. The next two both carry 20 Arrows, which are useful as Link can use the Hero's Bow often to defeat flying enemies, such as a Keese or Kargorak. The final two both carry Bombs, however they each carry a different amount of Bombs. The first carries ten Bombs, while the second only carries five.

Dungeon Items

All four Dungeon Items can be found in a Treasure Chest throughout the City in the Sky. These Dungeon Items include the Dungeon Map, the Compass, the Big Key, and the Small Key.

Equipment

There is but a single Treasure Chest located in the City in the Sky that carries any type of Equipment. It carries the Dungeon Item of the City in the Sky, the second Clawshot, which when combined with Link's other Clawshot becomes the Double Clawshot.

Pieces of Heart

The final two Treasure Chests located in the City in the Sky both carry a Piece of Heart. The first requires the ability to walk in order to reach, while the other requires the Double Clawshots. For more detail on there locations, visit the Twilight Princess Heart Pieces page.
