A Loftwing is a species of bird featured in Skyward Sword. They are used by the citizens of Skyloft to fly around the different regions and are used during the annual Wing Ceremony.
It is a custom in Skyloft for each person to have their own Loftwing. A Loftwing and its rider have a special connection and share a bond that they keep for life. Link's Loftwing is a special, rare breed which causes him to stand out among the rest of the citizens of Skyloft. Notably, Link's Loftwing allows him to access the mainland of the game.[1]
Trivia
- The Loftwings bear resemblance to the Shoebill, a species of bird native to Sudan.
- As all shields in Skyward Sword have a footprint or depiction of the Loftwing on them, it appears the red bird on the Hylian Shield is meant to be Link's Loftwing.
- In the opening cinematic, one can see Eagus flying a Loftwing for a brief second. Looking close reveals that this Loftwing is either a beta model or simply unfinished, especially noticeable when looking at the face.
