Gorko

Gorko is a character featured in Skyward Sword. He is a traveling archaeologist, who traverses the surface studying the history of the land and various devices, attempting to discern the history behind the ancient civilization. He is especially interested in the myth of the "Isle of the Goddess", which is actually supposed to be Skyloft.

After Link saves him from Bokoblins in the Sealed Grounds, he teaches Link about Bird Statues and is surprised when one suddenly activates when the young hero walks up to it. Later, Gorko explains how to use the Goddess Cubes to the young hero.
