#21 Skyloft - Clues in the Ballad
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Go to the Academy and talk to Zelda's father, the Headmaster. He will ask how things are going down there and if Link is any closer to finding Zelda.
He is curious why Link wants to know the lyrics to the song Zelda sang at the ceremony. He can’t carry a tune so he recites the words:
"Oh youth, guided by the servant of the
Goddess…unite earth and sky, and
Bring light to the land."
He says that’s the first part and there is a second verse.
"Oh youth, show the two whirling sails
the way to the light tower...and
before you a path shall open, and a
heavenly song you shall hear."
The Headmaster tells Link that the light tower does exist but he has no idea what the whirling sails could be.
Go up behind the Scrap Shop owner’s house to a windmill and talk to Kukiel’s father, Jakamar. He thanks Link for finding Kukiel and mentions that he likes to go to the Lumpy Pumpkin for soup. Walk up to the windmill and Jakamar will call out to Link. He sees that Link is interested in the windmill. Jakamar tells Link that it was designed to be turned in any direction. It once had a propeller to do it, but it fell off years ago and is beneath the clouds.
Fi appears and suggests that Link find the propeller. Jakamar tells Link he can put the propeller back on but wonders how Link could ever find it. Then he remembers that Gondo told Jakamar that someone in his family once had a flying robot to haul junk from beneath the clouds.
Go to the Bazaar- As Link passes the Fortune teller, he calls to him. Sparrot tells Link that he will use his mystical vision to find answers for him. Pay her 10 Rupees. Sparrot tells Link he sees structures with whirling sails turned toward a tower. Now talk to Gondo at the Scrap Shop. He can see that Link has a favor to ask. He asks Link if it’s about the old robot. He then understands that Link needs it to pick up something. Gondo calls the robot "Scrapper". He tells Link that extract from an Ancient Flower will revive the robot. Link gives him the Ancient Flower and he extracts its oil. Gondo then works on the robot and it is soon flying and talking. Scrapper asks who the green-clad kid is? Gondo tells Scrapper that Link saved him, and he should be thankful and help Link.
Scrapper does not want to help a kid. Fi appears and gives Link the material for dowsing the propeller. She tells Link that he can not carry the propeller in his pouch while returning to the sky. Scrapper interrupts and talks to Fi. Scrapper agrees to carry anything, anywhere. Scrapper refers to Link as "Master Shortpants" and offers his assistance. Scrapper tells Link that he is in tune with Fi's thoughts.
While in the Bazaar, stock up. Get the shield repaired, upgrade the bomb bag, buy some potion and have one infused. See the Gear Peddler. He has the "Sacred Shield" in stock for only 500 Rupees. Buy it. Leave the Bazaar and take to the sky.
Open the map to see three treasure chests that the Goddess Cube energy has made accessible. Go to island #7 and land outside. Open the chest to receive the "Heart Medal". Interestingly enough Link will receive another Heart Medal when he opens the silver treasure chest at island #2 later in the game. Now go to island #3, Beedle’s place. Land on top of his house and open the chest to find a piece of heart. Then we return to island #4. Land on the lower level and open the chest in the cave blocked by boulders. Link will find a Silver Rupee.
Go to Pumpkin Landing and talk to the innkeeper, Pumm. He has another job for Link, picking pumpkins. Go out the back door to the pumpkin patch and talk to Kina. She is happy to hear that Link will be helping her. Kina tells Link it won’t be easy because she wants him to start by carrying five pumpkins at one time. It’s tricky. When Link is finished, go back to Pumm. He will be impressed, but Link isn’t done working off the debt. He tells Link he needs time to think about Links next job. Now go to Eldin Volcano.
