Zelda:Skyway Sword FULL STORY REVEAL

http://www.zeldainformer.com/2011/11/skyward-sword-full-story-revealed-best-zelda-ever-confirmed.html

Today marks the day of the entire Skyward Sword Text Dump leaking on
the internet. Unfortunately, this also means that the entire game has
just been spoiled, and what spoilers there are! We might not like it,
but we are still obliged to report on it, for the sake of completeness
if nothing else. Our senior staff is currently hard at work analyzing
the MASSIVE amounts of data, in between crying due to spoilers (And a
few other things detailed after the jump), so this post will be updated
frequently-ish.

Consider this a fair warning - This is, without a doubt, the
biggest spoiler in the history of Skyward Sword spoilers. Beyond the
jump you will find most of Skyward Sword written out. Random information
related to the plot, the characters, everything. Read this post only if
you do not mind having the core points of the game spoiled for
yourself.

But even before the jump, I can personally confirm for you that this is the best Zelda game ever. Now read on you dare.

There is a lot of ground to cover, and a lot of it is being processed

That is essentially the entire plot progression throughout the game.
We know that Hylia only used Zelda in order to reach out to Link. She
needs him in order to stop Demise from devouring the world. Zelda is
essentially Hylia, and the Goddess speaks through her to Link. Zelda
will, at a point later in the game, have to stay at the Sealed Grounds
in order to keep Demise imprisoned. My wording might not make this seem
like a big deal, so read this and be ready to spend the rest of the wait
crying.

To face Demise and bring hope back to

the land, the goddess Hylia needed
>
someone with an unbreakable spirit.
That someone is you, .



But spirit alone wasn't enough.


You had to overcome many trials and

awaken the hero within yourself  so that

you could   wield that supreme power.

And so Hylia...
 I mean, and so I...
-






I knew that if it meant saving Zelda,

you would throw yourself headfirst

into any danger, without even a

moment's doubt...


...
- I used you.




... , I can't begin to tell

you how sorry I am for pulling

you into all of this.



But you have to understand this is a

war, and the fate of the land hangs in

the balance. I need your strength to tip

the scales in our favor...



All that may be well intentioned and

true, but it doesn't mean it's right...

and it doesn't excuse my actions.



But I'm prepared to pay the price for

what I've done.


To ensure that the seal holds, I will

remain here in this time...deep in sleep

for thousands of years.




...I can't say it

enough. I'm so sorry for the way I had

to involve you in this.




But until my memory of things before

our lifetime returned to me, I had no

idea we were fated to carry such a

heavy destiny.



Before all this, I was happy just

spending my days hanging around with

you in Skyloft. I wanted that feeling to

last 
forever.



While it's true that I am Hylia reborn,

I'm still my father's daughter


and


your friend...



I'm still your Zelda.



When Demise is finally gone, there will

be no more need for the seal that binds

him, and then I'll be able to wake up.



So I'm going to ask you a favor,

sleepyhead. Ever since we were kids,

I'd always be the one to wake you up

when you slept in.


But this time, when all of this is over,

will you come to wake me up?


So there you have it, Zelda is no more. But we are just getting
started! Ever since A Link to the Past, obtaining the Triforce has only
been fan-fiction. Until now that is... Ghirahim uses Zelda's soul to
resurrect Demise in the past (There's time traveling involved, rather
frequently even). The final confrontation is exactly that - Past Demise.
In order to defeat it however, Link needs to obtain the Triforce. A
conversation with Hylia reveals this:

...
She made this sacrifice, as you have

likely guessed, so that the supreme

power created by the old gods could

one day be used.


For while the supreme power of the

Triforce  was created by gods, all of its

power can never be wielded by one.



Valiant hero, you have endured many

hardships and journeyed far in your

quest to reach this place.



Along your travels you have found

wisdom, power, and courage, and for

this I shall bless your sword with the

goddess's power.


May it give you and your sword the

strength to drive back the abomination

that threatens this land!



The mark you see upon the back of your

hand is proof that you are the hero of

legend and that within you dwells

sacred power.


It is the mark of the Triforce.




You learned wisdom from solving

devious puzzles and traps. 
You gained

power by honing and tempering both

yourself and your sword.


And by overcoming the trials set

before you by the goddess, you've

found true courage.




Now that those qualities reside in you,

you are worthy of wielding the power

the old gods left behind for our kind.

You can claim the Triforce.

This explains a lot of canonical issues with the game, as Link here gets the mark on his hand BEFORE
getting the Triforce. Chew on that, theorists. These challenges for
obtaining wisdom, power and courage seem to come in the form of
challenges that three dragons set out before you. This is not entirely
linear and you can pick the order in which you want to do them. We've
already seen the Water Dragon in numerous trailers so far.

Lastly (for now), we know that Groose will appear in the final fight.
His involvement is as of yet unclear (One can only get so much from
text dumps), but he seems to "catch" Zelda in some way, perhaps from a
fall. After the fight he jokingly tells you to name your adventure "The
Legend of Groose". The more relevant bit however is Demise's quote
(Likely after you defeat him):

You fight like no man or demon I have

ever known. 
Though this is not the end.



My hate...
never perishes. 
It is born

anew in a cycle with no end!





I will rise again!




Those like you... Those who share the

blood of the goddess and the spirit of

the hero... They are eternally bound to

this curse.



An  incarnation of my hatred shall

ever follow your kind, dooming them to

wander a blood-soaked sea of darkness

for all time!




(Fi) I have confirmed the eradication of the

demon king.




His residual consciousness has been

absorbed into the  Master Sword...

and is now sealed away.

Can somebody say "Ganondorf origin"? Because I certainly can. Not
only that, but it would seem that he is bound to the Master Sword, as
Demise's essence is trapped inside of it. Lastly, it is at this point
pretty much confirmed that the humanoi with fiery hair is Demise, as
Fi's tip for the fight includes "wait for him to lift his sword". She
also describes Demise as "This eternal being has conquered time itself.
It is the source of all monsters."

Lastly, a hard mode is confirmed, although it's unclear whether or
not you can play it right away. In hard mode, there are no hearts
dropping from enemies or pots, and no heart flowers, so you have to rely
on potions.

The Zelda games are so awesome that even if you get it spoiled the game will blow you away.
