The Skyward Sword is located in the floating island known as [[Skyloft]]; however, [[Link]] eventually finds the sword and uses it to travel between two lands: Skyloft, an island floating above the clouds, and [[Hyrule]], which is being ruled by evil forces.<ref name=skyward>{{cite web|quote=In an interview with Gamespot, producer Eiji Aonuma clarified some of the finer points of Skyward Sword‘s storyline –  namely that the Skyward Sword is found above the clouds in Skyloft and not below the ground. Furthermore, he continues on to say that prior to his finding the Skyward Sword, Links character knows nothing about a land beneath the clouds – in fact, none of the residents of Skyloft are aware of any other world outside of Skyloft.|url=http://www.zeldauniverse.net/zelda-news/eiji-aonuma-talks-skyward-sword-story-controls/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+ZeldaUniverse+%28Zelda+Universe%29|title=Eiji Aonuma Talks Skyward Sword Story, Controls|site=zeldauniverse.net}}</ref><ref name=sword>[http://wii.ign.com/articles/109/1098500p1.html IGN's Nintendo Developer Roundtable Live]</ref>  According to Eiji Aonuma, when the Skyward Sword is helping Link, it will transform into Fi and will lead the young hero back and  forth from Skyloft to the land below.<ref>{{cite web|quote=The thing that leads Link on in his adventure and guides him is the titular sword –  the Skyward Sword.

*Fi bears a striking resemblance to the [[Fairy Queen]] from ''The Wind Waker'' and ''Four Swords Adventures''. The reason for this, if there is any, is not yet known.

*Just like [[Midna]] did in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', Fi speaks in a gibberish language. Fi's voice also sounds very robotic, speaking in a synthesized voice. Additionally, her style of speech is rather emotionless and robotic.<ref>{{cite|Upgrade detected. Analysis indicates this insect-like item is capable of flight.|Fi|Skyward Sword}}</ref>

*Fi refers to Link as "Master". <ref>{{cite web|quote=Master, this is Eldin Volcano. It is an active volcano rich with the power of the earth. |url=http://www.gameinformer.com/games/the_legend_of_zelda_skyward_sword/b/wii/archive/2011/09/12/exclusive-video-flying-to-eldin-volcano.aspx|title=Game Informer Exclusive Video #1}}</ref>
