Skyloft

		This is Skyloft. The Statue of the Goddess looks down on the town, and most residents live in relative peace and harmony. Among the residents here are those who have useful information for you, Master, as well as those who have troubles they want to talk about. I recommend talking to those who have a speech bubble visible above their heads as soon as you see them.

Skyloft is the main city, or hub, in Skyward Sword. Link was born and raised in Skyloft, along with Zelda, and he attends the Knight Academy with her and several other students. The main attraction about Skyloft is that it is a series of floating islands.

It is a massive floating island, the biggest so far in the Zelda series, and it is complete with a Bazaar, where Link can buy items and upgrade his weapons, a Knight Academy, where students train to become full-fledged knights, and the famous Statue of the Goddess. This Statue looks over the citizens of Skyloft, as it was built in honor of the Goddess. Link receives his first sword in the training hall, and the second sword of the game, the Goddess Sword, from inside this statue through an opening at the bottom.

The townspeople are completely unaware of the lands below the clouds. They also have their annual Wing Ceremony, in which they use Loftwings, a common bird race, to do various competitions. Loftwings are also the means of transportation Skyloftians use to traverse the Sky. Oddly enough, the game mechanics for Skyloft only allow the player to successfully jump off it 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.
