Skyloft is the main city, or hub, in Skyward Sword.

Link was born and raised in Skyloft, along with Princess Zelda, and goes to the knights academy. The main attraction with Skyloft is that it is a series of floating islands.

It is a massive home town, the biggest so far in the Zelda seires, and is full with a bazaar, where you can uprade your weapons, a Knights Academy, where you can train and get better with your sword, a boarding school, where Link and Zelda study, a market, where you can buy potions or other items and right in the center of Skyloft is a giant goddess statue. This goddess statue is looking over the people of Skyloft, as it was built in honor of Skyloft's Goddess. Link recieves his Sword, the Goddess blade, from inside this statue through an opening at the bottom.

The towns people are totally unaware of the lands below the clouds. They also have their anual "wing ceremony", in which they use Loftwings, a bird race, to do various competitions.

Oddly enough, the game mechanics for Skyloft only allows the player to sucessfully jump off skyloft at designated ramps. If a jump is attempted elsewhere, or incorrectly executed in general, the player will be unable to call his loftwing and he then ends up being rescued by a Rescue Knight. The reason for this is most problably to avoid situations where Link would bellyflop off every cliff he tries to long-jump from (as of a game-mechanical point of view).
