Wing Ceremony

The Birdrider's Ceremony is an annual event held on Skyloft. When the competition begins, a golden bird is released that has a Bird Statue attached to it. The participants must mount their birds and chase after it. The one who claims the statue first is the champion for that year and receives a reward from Zelda.

When the event begins, Link must dash and dive off the ledge and call his bird. He must then maneuver his bird and charge occasionally to catch the golden bird. Once he approaches it the first time, two boys, one of them known for playing rough, push him away from it and begin throwing eggs at him in an attempt to win instead. Once Link catches the bird a second time, he claims the Bird Statue and waves it around, eagerly waiting to show it to Zelda.

Zelda suddenly shouts at Link and jumps off a ledge. Link rushes to catch her worriedly, only to find out she's fine. She congratulates him on his performance and urges him to complete the ceremony.
