=== [[The Hero|Link]] ===
[[File:LinkArt2 9051.jpg|
The main protagonist and resident of Skyloft. At the outset of the game, he is a knight-in-training, studying at Skyloft's Knight Academy. On the day of his graduation, a mysterious black tornado sweeps Zelda away. He is then chosen to pierce the cloud layer existing between Skyloft and the surface world by the Goddess Sword (and its spirit, Fi), fulfilling a prophecy and searching for Zelda in the harsh world below. His voice samples are provided by Takashi Ohara.
Line 18:
* [[Bishonen]]
* [[Blow You Away]]: With the Gust Jar.
* [[Bow and Sword
* [[Brilliant but Lazy]]: Zelda and Gaepora both make comments that [[Informed Attribute|suggest Link was this]] as a student. [[Determinator|He drops the "lazy" part real fast]] once Zelda is in danger, though.
* [[Butt Monkey]]/[[The Chew Toy]]: At the beginning, Link gets ''no'' respect.
Line 64:
** He gets a hilarious one when [[The Rival|Groose]] is skydiving at a ridiculous speed towards him.
* [[One-Man Army]]: This incarnation of Link is probably the most defining example of all the Links, {{spoiler|[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|going through waves of Bokoblins and Moblins to save Zelda.]]}}
* [[Ordinary High School Student]]: Before the whole test at the beginning of the game, he was living in a dorm, going to school, studying to become a knight, had an [[Childhood Friend Romance|implied romantic interest with one of his closest friends]] whom could be seen as "the most popular girl in school", was bullied by a [[Jerk Jock]] and like most high school-esque scenarios, has most of the problems from this time solved by the end of the story. In a meta-like direction, this Link is the most ''normal'' Link in the series before the whole [[Took a Level
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Link is a said to be a native of Skyloft but unlike some of the other students, his family does not live there. His origins aren't expanded upon beyond that so this is sort of a "who knows" kind of affair.
* [[The Quiet One]]: Though he still generally acts as a [[Heroic Mime]], Link has occasional [[BioWare]]-esque text options in certain cutscenes, often when talking with Zelda.
Line 73:
* [[Stab the Sky]]: The Skyward Strike allows him to charge up his sword and perform Sword Beams and other techniques.
* [[Sword Beam]]: The Skyward Strike allows him to turn a normal slash or stab into one. For the player, this is the first time a [[Sword Beam]] existed in a 3D home console ''Zelda'' game since ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|The Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask]]''.
* [[Took a Level
* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: Link versus {{spoiler|the hordes of [[Mooks|Bokoblins]] and other enemies at the end of the game. It's almost impossible to lose against them.}} While in other games Link's most clearly motivated by duty to the kingdom/world, and doing what's right for a Princess he met, at best, a couple weeks before, ''this'' time, the villains have messed with a Zelda who he's been best friends with ([[Implied Love Interest|and perhaps more]]) for years and he is ''pissed''.
* [[Whip It Good]]: Receives a whip in the Ancient Cistern.
Line 81:

[[File:Fi resized full 4810.png|

[[File:Ghirahim Skyward Sword 2814.png|
{{quote|"Still... it hardly seems fair, being of my position, to take all my anger out on you. Which is why I promise up front not to murder you... No, I'll just beat you within [[Blatant Lies|an inch of your life!]]" }}
Line 341:
* [[Meaningful Name]]: ''Ghira'' is an Arabic word for [[Pride]] (specifically, responding to perceived insults with violence).
* [[Milking the Giant Cow]]: In just about every scene he's in.
* [[
* {{spoiler|[[My Defense Need Not Protect Me Forever]]: He may lose the final fight with Link but that doesn't mean he couldn't complete the revival ritual.}}
* [[No Sense of Personal Space]]: [[Foe Yay|At least with Link]].
Line 366:
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: He loses his temper whenever things don't quite go his way. He actually admits it's a flaw of his.
** {{spoiler|After Link defeats him for the second time he stops pretending to be [[Affably Evil]], and starts acting like the [[Ax Crazy]] demon he really is.}}
* [["Wake
* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]

* [[Honest John's Dealership]]: Rupin, though he isn't dishonest about his wares, just puts on an overly-friendly demeanor to sell his stuff.

* [[Panty Shot]]: [[Fan Disservice|Unfortunately frequent]]. Even as decaying zombies.
* [[Running Gag]]: Their undergarments are always mentioned in Fi's scans of them.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Despite being [[Took a Level
** To give you an idea, throwing a bomb at them will make them take cover... even if that "cover" is lava.
** When fighting the army of them, some of them will use lit bombs. If you don't get within their throwing range they won't throw them, and will blow themselves up.
Line 873:
* [[Segmented Serpent]]: As in every game, you can kill a Beamos by nicking it in its eye with an arrow, but until you get a bow, you'll have to settle for slashing its segments off and then stabbing the eye.
