Being so in love with @ghirahimbo's fic Blind, But Now, I have conspired to enjoy it for the first time again vicariously through my loved ones, even if they aren't familiar enough with Skyward Sword, or even Legend of Zelda, so I am compiling resources and recording readings to make it more accessible. (Be gentle, I've never done this before.)
Characters and images belong to Nintendo. Summaries by me. Credit for recommended music belong to each corresponding artist.
Link in this story is blind.
Link graduated from the Knight Academy (though he is not yet knighted) after completing the Wing Ceremony. During a victory lap with Zelda, a fellow student, a black tornado kicked up out of the blue and whisked her away to the surface. Link himself lost consciousness. When he awoke, it was to a spirit who guided him to the Goddess Sword, where he began his quest to rescue Zelda.
Fi is the spirit that resides within the Master Sword, originally the Goddess Sword. The Goddess Sword was forged by Hylia herself, and contains a limited bank of data, more of which can be accessed as Link succeeds through various trials.
Some of those trials included accessing the three Spiritual Flames, which transformed and enhanced Fi's sword, until it evolved into the Master's Sword.
Zelda, daughter of the headmaster, Gaepora; student at the Knight Academy. It is later revealed that Zelda is the reincarnation of Hylia, who surrendered her divinity in order to be more able to protect the Hylians. Zelda was able to awaken some of her memories as a Goddess similarly to Fi, by visiting three sacred locations.
Afterwards, she traveled back through time by 1,000 years and imprisoned herself near the seal of The Imprisoned, the ultimate enemy of good, in order to reinforce the seal, but it will not hold forever...
Blind, But Now intro
Ghirahim, or rather Demon Lord Ghirahim, is on a mission to resurrect his master Demise, who is currently sealed away by Hylia's divine power.
