Long ago, the Goddess [[Hylia]] rescued her people from a great evil by sending them to the sky. Here, in [[Skyloft]], they lived until the land below had been virtually forgotten, until the evil begins to resurface and plucks [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] from the sky. Link, her childhood friend, must go down to the surface and prevent Lord [[Ghirahim]] from using her to fully revive his master. This story is a precursor to many elements in ''Ocarina of Time'', such as the [[Master Sword]]. | Long ago, the Goddess [[Hylia]] rescued her people from a great evil by sending them to the sky.

Development began shortly after the release of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'' in 2007, though it didn't really take off until the team, including director [[Hidemaro Fujibayashi]], returned from work on ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]''. | Development began shortly after the release of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'' in 2007, though it didn't really take off until the team, including director [[Hidemaro Fujibayashi]], returned from work on ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]''.{{Ref|name=IGN development|[[Interview:IGN June 16th 2010|IGN]], June 16th, 2010}} Early on, the developers wished to improve on Twilight Princess's cursory motion controls by providing a complete 1:1 experience.{{Unsourced}} Encountering much difficulty, this idea was eventually scrapped in favor of focusing on more pressing issues of early development. Wii MotionPlus was picked back up when [[Eiji Aonuma]] saw its success in the newly released game ''Wii Sports Resort'', and was successfully incorporated into the final product.{{Ref|name=IGN development}} | ||
