sky islands headcanons! i've been non stop thinking about these lately. this post is going to include some general thoughts about the sky islands & their place in skyward sword as well as how they likely connect to the sky islands we explore in twilight princess & tears of the kingdom. so sorry this is long hope you all love to read. <3

PART I: THE EXISTANCE OF MORE SKY ISLANDS THAN WE SEE IN GAMEPLAY IN SKYWARD SWORD. in sksw, we see that skyloft is only the main section of a cluster of sky islands. skyloft itself is just the largest & most inhabited island of this cluster. because of the sky barrier & surrounding clouds, these are seemingly the only sky islands existing. however, there's really nothing out there implying that there may be more sections! if anything the only reason we aren't shown or able to explore can more likely be excused under the fact that it was 2011 & with so many different areas to explore on the surface they could only make the sky so large.

i like to imagine that there are other sky islands where other resources can be found but that these islands are very far from the mainland of skyloft. whether they started close & drifted away or have always been far is something we don't know but i do think they're out there. their distance makes traveling between them difficult for even loftwings to travel, especially with a rider, due to the sheer endurance it takes to fly that long as well as heavy storms. clearly they understand what a tornado is in sksw, i have to imagine there are other storms that they've encountered before. personally, i think that it was on one of these long journeys for resources from another island & in one of these storms that sksw link's parents died. skyloft knights aren't trained for fighting as an army, they don't exactly have many enemies being secluded within the sky, so it's safe to assume they're trained instead for journeys where they might encounter monsters or storms. link's parents were simply sent on a mission & never returned leaving him orphaned. tbh i think this happens to a lot of parents of kids in the skyloft academy because otherwise where are all their parents. that, or, their parents are just still out on their mission during the events of sksw.

fast forward to the end of sksw. the isle of the goddess separates from the main part of skyloft, falling upon the sight of the imprisoned on the surface. at the end of the game, this piece of sky island remains on the surface while the rest of skyloft & the other islands remain within the sky & the people of skyloft eventually abandon their islands after the cloud barrier is lifted & begin to settle on the surface.

i, mostly, think that the mainland of skyloft eventually drifted down to the surface as well. why? mostly because of botw/totk. to be specific, the great plateau in botw/totk.

PART II: THE GREAT PLATEAU IN BOTW/TOTK IS A FALLEN SKY ISLAND & LIKELY WAS A PART OF SKYLOFT. the great plateau is, for some reason, a randomly, oddly raised plot of land within botw/totk. likely this is mostly for game design purposes as it is meant to be the tutorial point in botw & they had to make it raised so that you couldn't just jump off & were forced to actually finish the tutorial before any real exploration ... BUT! if there's anything i'm going to do it's read into something. so, with that in mind, the implications of the great plateau being such a strangely raised bit of land could really easily be explained if we consider it as a sky island that descended & oddly fit itself into the surface.

'but, link!' you might say, 'you said only the isle of the goddess was said to have fallen! why do you think all of the skyloft mainland did? couldn't the great plateau be the isle?' great question. my reasons are pretty simple. first of all, the great plateau is huge and the isle of the goddess was NOT that big. now, to be fair, skyloft isn't near all as big as the great plateau either if we look at it but i think the imagination could be stretched more to make skyloft larger than it seems in sksw rather than imagining an island that had nothing but a large goddess statue & temple being that big.

i think the only reason i would think that, maybe, the isle of the goddess was actually HUGE & skyloft might still be in the sky is if we consider the tutorial sky island in tears of the kingdom as skyloft. that thing seems like twice the size as the plateau.

EITHER WAY! the great plateau is also known as 'the birthplace of hyrule' & i think the skyloftians were the first to establish the surface world as "HYRULE" so it's nice to imagine that this is where they first settled! their first home! whether the isle of the goddess was actually huge & they all settled on that OR their home in the sky followed them down as a safe haven!

(i have another reason i debate if the plateau isn't the isle but it's more far fetched which is that the goddess statue within the forgotten temple in botw/totk reminds me extremely of the goddess statue from the isle of the goddess & the temple itself reminds me of the one we find impa in/what we open the gate of time in during sksw ... but i have NO good explanation on why it would be so far from the plateau if the plateau is the skyloft mainland. like unless its fall path was just literally crazy)

PART III: THE REMAINING SKY ISLANDS WERE LATER EXPLORED & INHABITED BY OTHER RACES SUCH AS THE ZONAI & THE OOCCA. if we imagine skyloft fell or even just the isle, i think it threw some of the natural balance of all the sky islands off. they didn't fall, but they did rearrange & begin to drift close without skyloft/the isle there. this created the arrangement we see later in time. the zonai, who i headcanon were a surface race that survived the reign of monsters while the hylians were in the sky, were the first to explore them. they were already very technically advanced & possibly were the race that built places like the lanayru mines that we see in sksw (maybe timestones are a form of sacred stones). they designed a way to reach the islands & settled there relatively peacefully until their eventual extinction.

after the zonai went extinct the next race to occupy the islands were the oocca. OR the oocca & zonai occupied the islands together originally but the oocca survived as a race. i then imagine they fell to their own extinction or migrated to a new home sometime after twilight princess. honesty, i don't really ponder the origin of the oocca they are kinda weird little freaks BUT i cannot deny that they're one of the only other races we've seen in any games to have an established society on a type of sky island so i won't sit here and ignore them.

hope this was a fun read for anyone! for more information related to things like this, see THIS POST where i also go on to talk about how i think the "ancient times" we see in totk with sonia & rauru takes place as the first reincarnation of demise/the hero/hylia since the events of sksw + where i think present day botw/totk takes place within the zelda timeline!

[legendryhero]

do u ever think of the fierce deity as termina's equivalent of hylia or are you normal

whatever it is, make it quick.

just tell me what's going on.

would you dance with me?

when you look annoyed all the time, people think you're busy.

sksw link actually is one of the most interesting little guys to me. like ... he's the original spirit of the hero. he's a sloppy 16 year old. he barely talks and lets his best friend talk for him. he's narcoleptic and often will just fall asleep if he just so much as sits down too long. he's vegan not by choice but bc where he grew up has literally no meat source. he almost exclusively eats pumpkins. he's doesn't know what a horse is. in fact he doesn't know what like 99% of animals are, there are only 3 where he's from. he only recently was introduced to concepts such as the ocean, volcanoes, deserts, and a forest - it's possible he has never learned a word for these things and if he has it's only from books. he tempered the master sword. he only recently learned about the existence of birds that are not large enough to literally ride on. he gave a guy's love letter for a girl to a haunted hand that lives in the toilet of his school. he defeated an ancient and powerful demon king.

yall aren't ready for my sksw link vegan headcanons

[legendryhero]

update i figured out where they get protein from

[legendryhero]

yall aren't ready for my sksw link vegan headcanons

[legendryhero]

i think there are many incarnations of link i would put in a general fantasy setting or just like a general verse of some kind where he's not burdened by the cycle of destiny that's rooted in hyrule or anything and like. i do expect some of yall to care for that little boy. i want him SO happy. i want him sleeping in & relaxing!

@sovight , closed starter.

attention falls, landing upon his hands. no, hand. singular when it comes to what belongs to him. the other, though it may flex & turn at his will, 𝘚𝘛𝘐𝘓𝘓 𝘏𝘖𝘓𝘋𝘚 𝘈 𝘍𝘖𝘙𝘎𝘐𝘌𝘕 𝘞𝘌𝘐𝘎𝘏𝘛. there is the slightest comfort within remembering he is not alone because of it.             ❛ couldn't have this been in another time? the duty of the next hero? ❜            he imagines the late king is listening. if not, speaking to himself helps on some level.

[legendryhero]

the guardians within the silent realm in sksw having many similarities to zonai, extremely so in how the zonai are depicted in statues. the zonai being a race beloved by the goddesses that went into hiding when demise lay terror on the land. beloved so much by goddesses in fact that the guardians of the silent realms, designed to prove the spirit of anyone aiming to reach the sacred flames, were modeled after them. then, when the first calamity threatens hyrule, those creating protectors from it entitle them guardians after these protectors of another realm that they have heard ancient stories of.

[legendryhero]

in my car but i just had the FUNNIEST concept of zonai ancestors. please hold.

"i want you to look at this." she speaks over the soft thumping of hooves on the ground, as she adjusts on her saddle to better guide her steed closer to the others, and leans over toward him. the sheikah slate juts out toward him, pictures of wall carvings that they had discovered last time.

dutifully, her steed flanks his, as she points to a particular part of the picture, "do you see that, there?"
