The new games storyline begins in Skyloft, an island town suspended high in the sky, on the day before young Link is to compete in a major bird-flying competition. The winner of the contest will earn the honor of taking part in a special ceremony with Zelda.
Link and Zelda: Friends since childhood, Link and Zelda have always shared a special bond. Events in the new game will add even more depth to their relationship.
Groose: Links nemesis at school, Groose, plays a significant role in the early moments of the new game. This bully of a character not only threatens Links chances to win the bird-flying competition, but he also reveals a jealous streak toward Link and Zeldas special bond.
