Before you start

Explain Wii motion controls separately from Switch HD’s additional button controls. The world remains the sky plus revisited surface regions.

Activating a Goddess Cube on the surface unlocks its matching sky chest. Mark both locations separately; the chest is not beside the cube.

Main route & dungeon order

An ordered progression route. Use the stated coverage to distinguish this overview from a room-by-room solution.

1. 01

   Stage 1

   Win the ceremony in Skyloft and obtain the Goddess Sword. On the surface, clear Skyview Temple, Earth Temple and Lanayru Mining Facility; Timeshift Stones transform local areas.

2. 02

   Stage 2

   After the first Imprisoned battle, seek the three sacred flames. Silent Realm trials provide equipment for Ancient Cistern, Sandship and Fire Sanctuary.

3. 03

   Stage 3

   The Song of the Hero quest revisits Faron, Eldin and Lanayru. Three dragon tasks and Levias’s contribution complete the song; the final trial then opens the Triforce route.

4. 04

   Stage 4

   In Sky Keep, rearrange dungeon rooms to reach the Triforce pieces. Returning to the past leads to the horde, Ghirahim and Demise; precise attack directions are essential.
