Legend Of Zelda Skyward Sword Walkthrough Part 6 – Departing the Academy

Head outside of your room to encounter Fledge who has a little gift for you, an adventure pouch. Take a moment to head over to Groose's room and talk with him. He mopes a bit about you being the one to lose Zelda but he then goes and says that he will be the one who to rescue her. Once you head outside and start toward the Bazaar Fi will appear and encourage you to get a shield to increase your probability of survival. Before you head to the Bazaar, visit the Courtyard for the Academy to talk with Harwell and get a Wooden Shield, then go to the Sparring hall to the left of the entrance of the Academy. Talk with the instructor inside to learn about blocking and using the Shield Bash move.


Head straight into the building with the star entrance to the purple building, the Bazaar. First, talk with the lady surrounded by potions. She will give you a free bottle so you can shop at her store. Get the bottle then buy some of the potion to the right of her, the Revitalizing Potion. It can restore four hearts and repairs your shield when it is broken. Now head outside, call your Loftwing and start for the Green Pillar of Light in the distance.

Once you get close to the Pillar, Fi will explain more about diving to the surface. When prompted hit Down on the D-pad to dive through the opening. After a short scene you will be prompted to hit “B” to open your sailcloth.
