Skyloftian Sword

- Link has more control over his sword in this adventure than ever before. By way of the Wii Motion Plus, the sword now can swing in whichever direction the player chooses, giving the experience of 1:1 swordplay. Often, this proves to be a very vital point in the game. Offensively, many enemies must be defeated by swinging the sword certain ways. Such is the case for Deku Babas, where Link must slash them in the way their mouth is open (either vertically or horizontally) to defeat them. Other enemies will try to cover sections of their body from attack, whereas Link will have to attack the revealed areas to defeat the enemy.

-The sword also plays a key role in solving some puzzles. Certain locks must be opened by slashing the sword in a certain direction. Eyes appear on or around doors and will follow Link's sword. Moving the sword in a circular motion will spin the eye around, causing a dizzying affect and allowing for the eye to be struck. Once destroyed, the doorway or gate will be accessable to go through.

-From the beginning of the game, Link carries around this simple sword, though there isn't much use for it in Skyloft, high above the evil surface
