Skyward Sword gets overlooked all the time but is truly one of the best games in the Zelda series, but also holds many mysteries due to being set at the very beginning of the timeline. One of those secrets is, what happened to the Loftwings? Today, we shall try to uncover that mystery, cheers and enjoy!

Not sure why “they went back to the skies” isn’t just its own thing - the only time we’re in the sky in Zelda games is in skyward sword and a single city in twilight princess.

When I first saw the crimson loftwing, I immediately thought of Epona. From what little you see of its personality in the game, it seems to have a lot of hers. Groose and his groupies must have had a hell of a time trapping it the way they did, as I can't imagine it simply going quietly with anyone but Link, and even then it would probably give him a little bit of lip just because. Epona certainly gave her abductors hell in TP.

My theory, loftwings are still in the sky. It is frequently stated throughout Skyward Sword that loftwings won’t fly through the clouds, so that means they must still have to stay in the sky forever. I think the loftwings continued to live peacefully in the sky forever and ever, as nothing is really particularly dangerous to them, except for maybe Skytails. I think Levias would also watch over them as he is the protector of the skies. The only problem is that loftwings are briefly on the surface in the ending cutscene, but I think that was just for cutscene purposes and they do ultimately return to the sky. But you also might think that you would see loftwings flying around from the surface right? Well funny thing. Ever tried looking up at the sky while on the surface? You can’t see Skyloft, the thunderhead, all the islands... I think that the cloud barrier is like a one window sort of thing. From the sky it looks like dense clouds, but from the surface all you see is blue, hiding everything behind it. That would explain why you never see islands or loftwings from the surface. Thinking that they evolved into the ooca scares me because they were big and beautiful and they turned into THAT weird alien thing?! No no no no, that can’t be right! Right?

@@ns0557212 It might be part of the story that it was so long ago the people forgot, and the records may have been lost to the sands of time. The reason I think why the Triforce was only mentioned as Zelda's "sealing power" was because it too was largely forgotten, and I think BoTW2's story might be at least in part reminding the world of it. Maybe at least archaeological evidence if not living evidence of the loftwings might be in it too? I've noticed a few parallels between SS and BoTW, but that doesn't necessarily mean it would be time for things to come full circle yet.

When you posed the question at the start of this video my first thought was that the Loftwings went feral and evolved into Rocs/Helmarocs as many of them can be found in ancient structures and that the Roc’s Feather is a helpful item for Link. One small nitpic with referring to Hylians. They are named after the Goddess and the land of Hyrule is named after the people or Goddess therefore the race would still be Hylian even in Skyloft.

It's an ancient floating structure built by a advanced sky race, the "Oocca", closer to the Gods than Hylians that was built at the same time Hylians came to be. They took the shape of weird bird-human chimera but possess great magic like ignoring gravity and walking on walls, teleporting or writting letters without having hands ... In the game, we learn that long ago there was an epoch when Hyrule and the Sky shared with each others, this resulted in a golden age which remnants can be seen across the land and with artefacts such as the Spinner, clawshots and Dominion Rods with its many statues. The only one authorized to go to the Sky was the Messenger of the Sky. Impar of the sheikah people and last inhabitant of the Hidden Village was tasked by the Royal Family to give instructions to the next Messenger of the Sky, we become it because of our quest after the mirror shard, one found its way to the city and Zant's(Ganondorf's) evil magic turned a Kargaroc into a wyvern-like monster named Argorok. Paintings of the City in the Sky found in the Snowpeak Ruins show that the previous messenger of the Sky was an inhabitant of that mansion strangely obsessed with the Ordon Village and its specialities, now forsaken and taken over by a cute couple of Yetis. The ancestors of the Oocca might have been the Wind Tribe, an ancient civilisation that was helped by the minish long ago and mastered wind powers until they flew to the skies, their homeregion was named Tabantha. Vaati, the wind mage, took over the Wind Palace they built and later caused its destruction by dying, living the Sky Tribe surely homseless. He might be behind the odd shape of the Oocca, maybe a curse. The Wind Tribe also had pet birds named Ritorocs.

I will just simply forget that you said the loft wings "evolved" into these nipple showing, human head looking birds. Because that would be the end of me. I will not accept the possible fact that the majestic loft wings turned into a bird that even I wouldn't eat when I was starving 😑😂

Honestly, before I played botw, I saw a picture of Link riding a white bird, which I immediately thought was a Loftwing. Knowing the rito were in the game, I instantly thought the rito would have Loftwing nests or something which would allow Link to fly over Hyrule, and I was hyped. Then I learned it was Teba.

I been a huge Zelda fan for over 30 years. And out of all the Zelda games I have played over the years. Skyward Sword was my number 1 favorite Zelda game at one time. I have lost count just how many times I have beaten the game in both modes. And it remained my number 1 favorite until BOTW came out. BOTW is now my number 1 favorite Zelda game. Where Skyward Sword is now my 2nd favorite Zelda game. But I am sure that will change when BOTW 2 comes out. And Twilight Princess will get move from being my 3rd favorite Zelda game. To being my 4th favorite Zelda game.

It would be incredible to fly a loftwing around botw's hyrule! Have the loftwing susceptible to the elements of the sky: Heat, cold, high winds, lightning storms, rain, nigh time, fog. Get armor upgrades too to help quickly get around the map as we already basicly are familiar anyways. Maybe they could be immortal sacred animals of the gods and another *new* goddess appears along the stpry to "bless us with this devine beast of the gods, Skyward Sword Link's Loftwing! (the loftwing has a name and now its revealed.)

Another theory on where the Oocca came from is that when Zelda and Groose created the first settlements on land, some of the skyloft inhabitants refused to leave their home in the skies. Because of their defying the will of Hylia, the loftwings refused to serve them and the magic keeping skyloft aloft began to fail. This lead to them using technology to keep their sky islands afloat and developing an over-reliance on it. All this caused this splinter faction to evolve into the human headed chickens that we know as Oocca.

They probably became the Rito. But it was stated that Rito are descended from the Zora. But what if its the combination of both? That the Rito: is a species of both Zora and Loftwing. That when the flood of Hyrule happened, the Loftwing descended and helped those who were in need of saving during the flood. Then the Loftwing they evolved to a point where the species had a humanoid appearance but not exactly like the Rito, so the few Loftwings of the remaining breed and the Zora made an agreement: in order for the continuation of the dying breed that was there since the creation of Hyrule.

Okay, what if they came back in botw 2? Hyrule castle is lifted up, possibly into the sky, maybe up to sky loft. What if loftwings were considered for dlc, but put off for botw 2. What if we use an ancestor of the crimson loftwing/ a random loftwing to reach the castle in the sky. Old sky loft dungeon + hyrule full castle in the sky dungeon. Kinda like four swords.

This is a really interesting theory! I never would've imagined the weird chickens and baby floating heads could be the graceful giant birds but evolution is something that can change the appearance of Zelda creatures extremely so it is very possible, while I doubt it, It would be so cool if Breath of the Wild 2 explored this topic! I personally feel like the loftwings while not the Oocoo are connected to them in a way and possibly did return or relocate to somewhere in the sky as there are floating islands that aren't skyloft in the game and if those stayed afloat and the loftwings did evolve they could have possibly gained enough intelligence to build they're own community and gain the figure of speech. In any case great video once again! 👍 P.S. I feel so honored to have guessed the hint picture correctly and earned a shout out at the end of your video! Thank you soooooo much

Another take on the Evolution theory: there were no Zora in Skyward Sword and the aquatic creatures we saw were the Parella, which are more squids and octopi than the fish inspired Zora. Perhaps the Loftwings, sacred animals of Hylia, evolved into the Zora to better suit the surface. This would explain how the Zora are "longtime allies of Hyrule's Royal Family" since the Loftwings were with the Hylians before Hyrule existed. It could also explain the Zora becoming the Rito in Wind Waker - they just reversed the process.

I think it may actually be two of your hypotheses; natural evolution into the Ooccoo, and domesticated evolution into the Cucco.
