Gameplay
The gameplay of Skyward Sword departs from the Legend of Zelda series' traditional flow of alternating overworld and dungeon exploration. The controls are revised, with swordplay based on the Wii MotionPlus peripheral, which allows one-to-one motion control between the Wii Remote and the in-game sword. In contrast to earlier installments, battles do not focus solely on timing attacks, but also on their target, such as the direction in which enemies are hit. In addition to the sword, there are items such as a mechanical flying beetle to grab items from a distance, a whip, and series staples such as bombs, a slingshot and a bow, which can also be controlled with the Wii MotionPlus. An upgrade system has been introduced, which enables the player to increase the power of equipment such as the wooden shield by collecting items from fallen enemies. A stamina meter will allow for sprinting and running up walls. Drinking health-restoring potions does not interrupt the gameplay anymore, and the maps are now easier to read, making it harder to get lost in the game. The player will have the option to turn off the heads-up display
Plot
In the chronology of the series, Skyward Sword is a prequel to Ocarina of Time and elaborates on the origins of the Master Sword and Ganondorf. Prior to the beginning, a Goddess created Skyloft, a group of islands floating above the clouds, in order to prevent the Demon King, Demise, from obtaining a powerful object hidden on it. The plot begins many years after and follows an incarnation of the protagonist Link who was born and raised in Skyloft.
The game opens as Link is awakened by his childhood friend Zelda for the Wing Ceremony, a tradition to acknowledge one as knight. Link completes the ceremony after overcoming his classmate's attempts to sabotage him. Zelda is then taken in by a storm and sent to the surface world. Link is lead by Fi, the spirit of the Skyward Sword, who reveals that he and Zelda have been assigned a mission by the goddess and is prompted to draw the Skyward Sword in order to seek out Zelda. With guidance from an elderly woman in the Sealed Shrine, Link pursues Zelda through the Skyview Spring, Earth Spring, and the Lanaryu Mines where Zelda and her guardian, Impa, depart into the past through a Gate of Time.
The elderly woman advises Link to seek out three sacred flames of Golden Goddesses Din, Farore and Nayru in order to increase the power of his sword to activate the Gate of Time. Along the way, he also strengthens his spirit through the trials set by the three goddesses. On acquiring the third flame, the Skyward Sword becomes the Master Sword and he is able to enter the Gate of Time. Link arrives in the time period where the Demise was just recently sealed away by the goddess. Zelda reveals she is the reincarnation of the Goddess and was told to return to the past to be put into a deep sleep in order to keep Demise's seal active. She tasks Link to search for the Triforce hidden in Skyloft to destroy Demise.
Link returns to the present and is able to acquire the complete Triforce due to his strengthened spirit. Using its power, he seals Demise which results in Skyloft crashing onto the surface world. Zelda awakens from her slumber in the present time but is kidnapped by the demon Ghirahim and taken to the past where he uses Zelda's soul to unseal the past Demise. Link defeats Ghirahim and Demise, who swears his hatred will haunt Link and Zelda forever. Link and Zelda say their goodbyes to Impa and Fi who disappears when Link places the Master Sword into its Pedestal. They return to the present where the elderly woman reveals herself to be an aged spirit-form Impa who disappears after fulfilling her duty.
