This is the main sword you’ll use for a while.

Hold the sword skywards to charge a Skyward Strike.

The Goddess Sword is a mystical sword hidden away inside the Statue of the Goddess. Within the sword, a spirit called Fi resides.

For the early portion of the game, this is the only sword you’ll use. Compared to the Practice Sword, it deals twice the amount of damage.

If you raise the sword straight upwards, you can charge it up and then swing the sword to unleash a Skyward Strike. This can hit somewhat faraway objects and deal damage to foes (equal to half its usual damage).

Where to Find

You’ll obtain the Goddess Sword after entering the Statue of the Goddess, near the beginning of the game.

Upgrades

The Goddess Sword transforms into the Goddess Longsword after completing the Ancient Cistern.

You are Link, a resident of Skyloft–a floating village in the vast sky. For ages, you’ve been training at the Knight Academy and, today, the day of your graduation has arrived. While your life thus far has been peaceful, soon nothing will be the same again, when your beloved friend, Zelda, is stolen from you…

Our strategy guide for The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword (HD) contains all the necessary knowledge to search for and rescue Zelda, such as a full walkthrough with detailed maps. Plus every hero needs a rest; if you want to grab all the collectables and fix other people’s problems (sidequests), we can help you with that too!

Newly added:

  • Revised and re-structured the walkthrough to make it more accessible.
  • Added dozens of useful maps.
