The Light Tower mentioned in the song is a real place; I'm sure you've seen the tower in the plaza. I don't know a thing about two whirling sails though... It sounds like the song is suggesting that if one shows these whirling sails the way to the tower, something will happen? But how do you go about doing that, and what does it mean?

A distinctive aspect of {{SS|-}} is the lack of roads connecting in-game areas. The developers designed the different areas to possess distinctive gameplay styles and mechanics, which made developing roads between different areas difficult. The developers eventually decided not to include roads, since if they could make the gameplay in each area sufficiently dense then they wouldn't have to physically join them. They initially attempted to do this using a course selection similar to that of the {{Smw|Super Mario Galaxy|''Super Mario Galaxy'' games}}, but they couldn't do it the exact same way and settled on the idea of a sky where Link would dive to the land below. According to the developers, after using the idea for some time in development, the pieces naturally fell together. The transportation, for instance, felt the most natural with a [[Loftwing|bird]].<ref>[https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/wii/zelda-skyward-sword/4/0] Iwata Asks: ''The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword'' Inspired by Course Selection in Super Mario</ref> | |||
