Skyward Sword: Song of the Hero

Sources reviewed: 2026-11-10

Three dragons, three verses. Lanayru will not sing until the fruit cures him. Levias is the sky trial after that.

Faron and Eldin each teach a verse. Lanayru’s verse waits on the Life Tree Fruit: move the seedling to the Temple of Time in the Sealed Grounds, let the fruit exist in the present, and carry it to the gorge. The healed dragon then opens the Lightning Round as well, which is optional and listed on his page. Levias, the great spirit in the Thunderhead, is held by Bilocyte, the eye parasite. That fight is the sky’s contribution to the song, not a numbered story dungeon.

The Isle of Songs sits in the same storm. The Goddess’s Harp is played by following the timing rings. The harp from the mining facility is the instrument. When the song is whole, Sky Keep is the last dungeon, above Skyloft, and it is a sliding puzzle rather than another dragon.

Route and checkpoints

• After the True Master Sword and Levias sequence, collect the three dragon parts of the song. The surface regions now have distinct story events rather than new full dungeons.
• In Eldin, escape captivity with the Mogma Mitts and recover the confiscated equipment from the guarded chests. Reach the Fire Dragon after retrieving the sword.
• At the Sealed Grounds, defeat the Imprisoned’s third form with Groose’s help. In flooded Faron Woods, collect each group of Tadtones completely before its timer expires, then return to Faron.
• In Lanayru Gorge, escort the mine cart’s Timeshift field to the Thunder Dragon. Take the Life Tree Seedling, plant it in the Sealed Temple in the past, collect its fruit in the present and heal Lanayru. Return to Levias to complete the Song of the Hero.

These are the main progression checkpoints. For detailed room diagrams, use the Zelda Central chapter guide. Related collectible and boss pages below cover the optional rewards and combat details.
