Skyloftian

Skyward Sword

"Skyloftians" are the people who live in the village of Skyloft, located in The Sky above the clouds. These people revere the Loft Birds whom they use as mounts, depicting them as cultural symbols and relying on them for games and travel amongst the islands of The Sky. The Skyloftians regard the land below as a dark place and do not venture there; no Skyloftian has ever seen the surface.

Skyloftians perfectly resemble the Hylians of previous games in the series. The bird symbols that decorate Skyloft look like a variation of the Royal Family of Hyrule's crest, minus the Triforce on it. It is speculated that the Skyloftians predate the Hylians and the Royal Family entirely.

The Skyloftians appear to live a peaceful life, but their interactions with other sky beings is unclear, and they do seem to have a Knight Academy. These Knights complete various missions and tasks, so it may be that Skyloft has heavy involvement with the world that surrounds them, and they may be capable of defending themselves.

Within Skyloft there is a statue of a single goddess. It is unknown how they goddess may or not relate to the three goddesses of series history, but it is likely that this goddess is the deity to which the Skyloftians pray.
