This chapter turns the Master Sword into its final form and sets up the hunt for the Triforce. You re-seal The Imprisoned with Groose’s help, pass through the Gate of Time to meet Zelda, and receive her blessing. Back in Skyloft you learn the Spiral Charge from Instructor Owlan, collect Pumm’s pumpkin soup, have Scrapper carry it into the Thunderhead, and free Levias from the parasite Bilocyte. Levias then explains that the four parts of the Song of the Hero will reveal where the Triforce lies.

Sealed Temple and the Gate of Time

Dive to the Sealed Grounds

Once the Master Sword is yours, Fi tells you the Gate of Time in the Sealed Temple is the way to reach Zelda, and that the sword’s new strength should wake it. Save at the Bird Statue, pick “To the sky” and fly to the green light pillar over Faron. Dive, choose Sealed Grounds on the descent map and land. Groose has laid wooden rails around the area, so follow the track to the Sealed Temple.

Wake the Gate of Time

Inside the temple the old woman congratulates you on the sword and tells you to stand on the pedestal in front of the stone slab that is the Gate of Time. Raise the Master Sword until it glows and swing it down for a Skyward Strike. The ground shakes before the gate can open: the evil beneath the Sealed Grounds has broken loose again, and she sends you outside to deal with it.

Groose and the pit

Groose runs up, boasting about the machine he has built. It runs on a rail track around the top of the pit and he calls it the Groosenator. Save at the Bird Statue beside the temple, then drop down to the round floor at the bottom. The Imprisoned rises from its seal as you arrive.

Gate of Time and the Temple of Hylia

Return to the temple and open the gate

Climb back out of the pit and return to the temple. The old woman says the sealed evil will keep returning until it is destroyed at its source and that there is no time to lose. She asks for another Skyward Strike on the Gate of Time. This time it opens. Groose says he will stay behind to guard the temple while you pass through.

Meet Impa and Zelda in the past

You arrive in the Temple of Hylia, long before your own time. Impa, much younger than the old woman you know, explains that Zelda waits in the next chamber. Walk through the temple door and talk to Zelda in a column of light. She explains the origin of the Triforce, the battle between Hylia and Demise, and why she took mortal form. She will stay in this age, in a deep sleep, to keep the seal on Demise strong.

Zelda’s request

Zelda apologises for the burden she has placed on you and asks you to wake her when Demise is gone. Walk back out to Impa, who promises to watch over her, and return through the Gate of Time to the present.

Back in the present

Back in the temple, the old woman tells you that the Triforce is the only thing that can end the threat for good and that you must now find it. Groose says he has decided to stay here. Save at the Bird Statue outside the temple, and then fly home.

Woodland Rhino Beetle in the Sealed Grounds

As you leave through the grass by the rails, keep an eye out for a Woodland Rhino Beetle on the walls behind the temple and catch it with the Bug Net (Beedle’s Airshop sells one for 50 Rupees). Bugs appear at random in their home areas, and this beetle can also be found on the walls near the temple, in the Deep Woods and around the Great Tree. Keep it, because Bertie at the Infusion Shop needs one for the upgraded Heart Potion and the upgraded Revitalizing Potion. The Bugs and Treasures page lists every bug.

The hunt for the Triforce at the Knight Academy

Talk to Gaepora

Zelda’s words mean you now need to find the Triforce. Land on Skyloft and walk through the Knight Academy courtyard to Headmaster Gaepora’s study. He is happy to share all he knows, but he admits the old books never say where the Triforce is. He suggests Levias, the great sky spirit who protects the sky, because his knowledge is vast, and mentions that the Thunderhead is hiding something and that Instructor Owlan has been looking into it.

Find Instructor Owlan

Owlan is in his room in the Academy; ask the people in the hall if you cannot find the door. He tells you Levias is inside the Thunderhead but is no longer himself, and he looks possessed. When he sees you are set on going anyway, he takes you to the Loftwing platform and offers to teach you a powerful bird-riding move for freeing Levias, the Spiral Charge.

Pass the Spiral Charge test

Dive off the platform and call your Loftwing. Owlan gives you 120 seconds to break ten targets. Use the Spiral Charge to drive your bird forward at speed, and fly straight at each target. The counter on screen tells you how many are left, so line up each one rather than rushing. When you finish, Owlan recognises you as a skilled rider and lets you use the Spiral Charge whenever you like.

Pumm’s pumpkin soup for Levias

Visit the Lumpy Pumpkin

Owlan sends you to the Lumpy Pumpkin, on Pumpkin Landing, a large island in the north-east of the Sky. Open the Sky map, choose Pumpkin Landing and land there. Pumm, the owner, offers a basin of his pumpkin soup to Levias every year, but the Thunderhead has stopped him this year. When you offer to take it, he sets about making the best batch ever.

Call Scrapper to carry the pot

The soup is far too heavy to carry yourself. Fi tells you she will signal for Scrapper, who arrives to carry the pot. Call your Loftwing and fly to the Thunderhead with Scrapper flying along, holding the pot.

Deliver the soup to the cloud

Fly into the Thunderhead, a storm full of wind and rain, with Scrapper carrying the pot. Land on the grassy island covered in red and pink flowers and walk to the middle. Scrapper unloads the pot there, grumbles that the place feels dangerous, and leaves. As soon as the pot is down, Levias smells the soup and rises out of the clouds.

Optional Skyloft quests that open now

Find the baby’s Rattle (Bertie)

Bertie runs the Infusion Shop in the Bazaar. Visit his house at night (sleep in a bed and choose “Until night” if it is still day) and he tells you a bird has taken his baby’s Rattle and his baby will not sleep without it. Use the Clawshots to climb the floating islands near the Waterfall Cave, then glide onto the windmill nest and use the Gust Bellows to blow the dust off the Rattle, then pick it up.

Return to Bertie’s house. When you hand over the Rattle the baby settles down in its cot. Bertie rewards you with 5 Gratitude Crystals. See Gratitude Crystals for how to spend them with Batreaux.

Find My Crystal Ball (Sparrot)

Visit Sparrot, the fortune teller, in his house on the east side of Skyloft. His crystal ball has cracked and he cannot see the future, so he asks you to find another from beneath the clouds. Say yes, and Fi adds the crystal ball to your dowsing menu. Dive to the Surface, find the target, and use the Clawshots to reach it. Fi then calls Scrapper to carry it back up. Sparrot gives you 5 Gratitude Crystals and cheaper fortunes.
