The sky is several islands, not one town. Skyloft is the largest. The others are shops, minigames, and the storm.

Goddess chests sit in this sky. A Goddess Cube on the surface, struck with a Skyward Strike, is what marks the matching chest. The collectibles page lists the cube-to-chest pairs. Beedle’s airship patrols rather than staying on one pad. Night crystals on Skyloft, Pumpkin Landing, and this island group are part of the 15 loose crystals, counted on the side-quest page.

The opening flight tutorial takes place in the Skyloft chapter. Levias lives in the Thunderhead; dealing with Bilocyte precedes the three-dragon Song of the Hero route.

The main routes use Skyloft as the supply hub, Pumpkin Landing for Pumm’s chores, Bamboo Island for sword practice, and Fun Fun Island for Dodoh’s diving game. Beedle’s Island is reached differently by day and night: sleeping in Beedle’s Airshop takes you to his home after dark. Inside the Thunderhead, the Isle of Songs teaches the three trial melodies. Goddess Cubes below the cloud barrier activate specific sky chests; the collectibles page now lists all 27 cube-to-chest pairs.

The colored beams are entrances to the three surface provinces, not ordinary floating islands. Return through a bird statue to resume flying and collect the chests activated during the latest surface visit.
