FAQs

Can you 100% Skyward Sword? ›

There are plenty of things to collect in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, but most notably for 100% completion you will want to collect all 80 Gratitude Crystals, all 25 Heart Pieces, 5 Empty Bottles, and a total of 11 Medals.

How many hours does it take to complete Skyward Sword? ›

Read More. How long is The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword? When focusing on the main objectives, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is about 38 Hours in length. If you're a gamer that strives to see all aspects of the game, you are likely to spend around 58 Hours to obtain 100% completion.

Is Skyward Sword the hardest? ›

No way Skyward Sword is at the top unless its hero mode. Getting through Majoras Mask without a guide is and always was difficult task for me, and everything else is pretty close.

What is the hardest boss in Skyward Sword? ›

Demise. The final boss of Skyward Sword offers an imposing challenge. Demise is a bulky humanoid holding a giant sword, and to defeat him in combat, the player must be at the top of their sword game. The first phase of Demise's boss battle is pretty straightforward.

What happens if you get 43 cuts in Skyward Sword? ›

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

If so what happens? Nothing happens. and there's a glitch that doubles your count every time you cut the tree.

What is required to 100% TotK? ›

Official TotK 100% is typically defined as: Quest completion: all 23 Main Quests, all 60 Side Adventures, all 31 Shrine Quests, all 139 Side Quests, all 18 Memories.

Can you get 20 hearts in Skyward Sword? ›

Answers. The medals count so you can only get 18 without them. There are only enough heart pieces and containers to get you to 18 hearts total. In order to get the full 20 hearts, you need the Life Medal, which can be purchased from Beedle's Air Shop or found in a Goddess Chest.

Do you ever get to fly at night Skyward Sword? ›

You can never fly at night. And you never need to, because the three sky-islands that have anything happening at night all have beds.

Can you go underwater in Skyward Sword? ›

In order for Link to be able to dive in Skyward Sword, players must first obtain the Water Dragon's Scale. This important object is the reward for completing the Silent Realm trial in Faron Woods.

Who is the big bad in Skyward Sword? ›

Ghirahim taunting Link. Demon Lord Ghirahim is the main antagonist of the 2011 action-adventure game The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. He is an extremely powerful and flamboyant being born from the Demon King Demise's sword and the evil counterpart to the Goddess Sword's spirit, Fi.

What is the final boss in Skyward Sword? ›

Demise is the final boss you'll face in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. You'll battle Demise after collecting the Triforce from Sky Keep and defeating Ghirahim for the third time at the Sealed Grounds. This is the last challenge you'll face in Skyward Sword, so make sure you're properly prepared!

Can you miss anything in Skyward Sword? ›

I was wondering if there is anything that can be permanently missed if I get too far into the main story. Nope. Probably small bits of NPC dialogue, but nothing. This is Zelda, few Zelda have missables.

Is it possible to beat Skyward Sword without a shield? ›

You can definitely play the game without it. For those that play 3 heart (or 6 heart) challenges, a no shield challenge is a nice wrinkle.

Can you 100% botw? ›

Once players finish all four Divine Beasts, complete all 120 Ancient Shrines, acquire all 900 Korok Seeds, and visit every named location on the map, they'll hit 100% in BOTW.
