White Sword of the Sky

The Skyward Sword is an item featured in Skyward Sword. First introduced in a leaked E3 2009 artwork, it is a sword that possesses intelligence and can transform in the semi-human form shown on the artwork. Eventually, the Skyward Sword becomes the Master Sword.

The Skyward Sword is Link's driving force behind his traveling between two lands: Skyloft, which is an island floating above the clouds, and the ground below. If Link holds the sword up to the sky, it will be charged up by "energy from the heavens" and be able to release a Sword Beam once it's swung.
