Walkthrough

This walkthrough follows Link from the Wing Ceremony on Skyloft to the Demon King Demise in 18 chapters. Each chapter gives you the route, the items you need, every collectible that you can pick up on the way, and the dungeon item and boss at the end. Play the chapters in order and you will already hold each tool before a chapter asks for it. When a collectible needs a tool that you do not own yet, the chapter says so, and the matching topic page lists it for your return trip.

Skyloft

The game opens on Skyloft, with no dungeon and no boss. You win the Wing Ceremony, draw the Goddess Sword and make your first dive to the Surface.

1. Skyloft and the Goddess Sword: the Knight Academy, the Wing Ceremony and the Statue of the Goddess. You get the Practice Sword, the Sailcloth, the Goddess Sword with Fi, the Emerald Tablet and the Adventure Pouch. No dungeon and no boss.

The Three Surface Regions and Their First Dungeons

Each tablet from Skyloft opens a new region below: Faron Woods, Eldin Volcano and Lanayru Desert. Every region ends in a dungeon that gives you a tool and a Heart Container, so this stage hands you the Beetle, the Bomb Bag and the Gust Bellows.

• Sealed Grounds, Faron Woods and the Deep Woods: The Sealed Grounds, the missing Kikwi, the Slingshot, the Deep Woods and the way into Skyview Temple.
• Skyview Temple: Small keys, the Beetle, the Golden Carving door, the Ghirahim boss fight, the Heart Container and the Ruby Tablet.

The Goddess’s Trials and the Sacred Flames

With the Goddess’s Harp you collect songs, enter three Silent Realms and clear three more dungeons, one for each Sacred Flame. The Sandship comes before the Fire Sanctuary, and the sword is tempered after each one, ending with the Master Sword.

• The Goddess’s Harp, The Imprisoned and the Isle of Songs: Ballad of the Goddess, The Imprisoned, the Light Tower, the Isle of Songs and Farore’s Courage.

• Fire Sanctuary: All three small keys, the Mogma Mitts, the Mysterious Crystals, Ghirahim’s second fight and the Master Sword.

Song of the Hero and Sky Keep

The hunt for the Triforce needs the complete Song of the Hero. The three dragons teach the first three parts, Levias teaches the fourth, and the final trial leads to Sky Keep.

• True Master Sword, Levias and Bilocyte: Skyward Sword walkthrough for the True Master Sword, the second Imprisoned fight, the Spiral Charge.
• Song of the Hero: Escape Eldin, beat the third Imprisoned, win the Tadtone song in Faron Woods and heal Lanayru’s Thunder Dragon.
• Skyloft Silent Realm and Sky Keep: The Skyloft Silent Realm and its 15 Sacred Tears, the Stone of Trials, every Sky Keep room and all three Triforces.

The Finale

The last chapter has no side content on the main route, only the Horde battle and the two final boss fights. The Imprisoned does not appear here, since its third fight is behind you.

1. The Horde, Ghirahim and Demise: the wish at the Statue of the Goddess, the Horde Battle in Hylia’s Realm, Ghirahim (third fight) and the Demon King Demise. The ending unlocks Hero Mode.
