Before I start to go into the details of this post I want to state that this update is filled with spoilers. This is by far the most spoilerific update we have ever posted here on LegendZelda.Net.
Earlier today a full text dump for Skyward Sword was leaked. The text dump of course has everything that is said in the game which allows people to find the plot related quotes. For plot details click through to read more!
This first quote is in regards to Zelda and her destiny. Link was used by the Goddess Hylia. Zelda is essentially the reincarnation of Hylia and used Link’s relationship with her to bring him into the events of the game as she knew he would do anything for his friend.
Later in the game Zelda has to stay in the Sealed Grounds to keep the Demise imprisoned.
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
andyour 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?
This next quote takes a look at Link’s role and the fight against the Demise. Ghirahim needs Zelda to revive the Demise and Link fights against the past Demise to prevent him form being brought into the present. It also covers information about the Triforce.
…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.
