Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword Walkthrough Part 2 – The Missing Loftwing

Once the first scene is concluded we learn that something has happened to Link's Loftwing. Zelda apologizes for pushing you over the ledge at least. Head back down to the Academy from here. Time to learn a few more things.

Be sure to take a moment and save your game on the way back to the Academy. Head back to where you met Instructor Horwell and talk with him. After that, talk with the student to the right of the Double Doors. She tells you to talk with Pipit down stairs inside the school. Head through the doors and go down the stairs that are on the right a little ways in. At the bottom of the stairs head right to find Pipit in his yellow clothes. Next head to the left, back toward the kitchens. You will find Fledge where you left him. Talk with him to learn a bit more about the happenings. When you start going away from him, Fledge will have a little more to say to you. Now head through the Double Doors on this level to get back outside.

Head through the now open gate. Just past the stairs in the plaza you will find a child rolling into a tree with a bit of a running start. Follow his example and start running at the tree. Swing your nunchuck to get Link to roll into the tree. It causes a bug to emerge from the tree and you get a Blue rupee for your efforts. Head down the path some more to the right. Keep moving to trigger a scene with Groose and his cronies. This at least tells you something more about what happened to your bird.

Head back to the Academy now. Head up the stairs to the second floor and talk with the Headmaster. After head out of the Academy through the Double Doors on this level. Pipit will call you over so join him by the Sparring Hall and talk with him and Fledge. Fledge reveals what he was hinting at earlier about your Loftwing and you learn where it got hidden. You taken into the map and are shown the location of where your Loftwing is.

After all this, take a moment to head inside the Sparring Hall to talk with the Instructor there and collect a sword from the Storage Room to the right. Head in and to the left to collect your Practice Sword. Now head out into the Main Room and talk with the Instructor if you need some tips. Make a circuit around the room and slash the logs where you see the stripe on them. The Instructor will set up another set so you can get some more practice after that with the Spin Attack. Lastly is the Fatal Blow, a finishing move. Lock onto it once to slash it in half, then lock onto it again and swing the Remote and Nunchuck downwards to perform a Fatal Blow. After this, try to leave the Practice Hall. While your instructor will initially stop you, Link explains what happened and he will let you take it out to the Waterfall.

Now that you have a sword it is time to head for the waterfall.
