The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Glitches

This page is a list of glitches in from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.

Song of The Hero
When compiling the "Song of the Hero" from the Three Dragons, it can become impossible to continue in the game if the player does Thunder Dragon's portion first:
 * Begin the Thunder Dragon portion of the quest before the Water Dragon or the Fire Dragon portions.
 * Talk to Golo the Goron.
 * Retrieve the Thunder Dragon's part of the "Song of the Hero".
 * Speak to Golo again before heading to either Faron Woods or Eldin Volcano.

This will cause Faron Woods and Eldin Volcano to change their landscaping to that seen after obtaining their dragons' songs, thus rendering the player permanently unable to obtain those songs and unable to finish the game.

The Wii Shop Channel has a download specifically to repair game saves affected by this glitch.

Killing a Remlit
Before finding Batreaux and fighting Scaldera, Link may go to Skyloft at night and find a Remlit near the pillars of rock that lead to the Waterfall Cave. Link may pick the Remlit up and throw it off the island. When Link returns, the Remlit will be gone and will not show up until morning or until Link enters a building.

Tentalus Glitch
While in the battle with Tentalus, when Tentalus is stunned after being struck by an arrow, striking Tentalus with another arrow will leave the battle stuck in the first phase, effectively leaving the game unbeatable, forcing a reset. This only works on certain copies of the game.

Final Ghirahim Glitch
During one of the early phases of the final battle with Ghirahim, it is possible to deal him more damage than usual, killing him, and leaving Link stranded in an empty closed arena.

Play on Menu Screen Glitch
First, aquire clawshots and have Link be at the entrance to the Temple of Time area in the Lanayru Province and get Link's health down to a half a heart (assuming Link is not in Hero Mode). Then place a bomb in front of Link and wait until it blows up. at the precise moment when the first note of the Game Over music plays, press the home button and press reset. and when the game reloads, Link will be on skyloft in the clothes that he wore in the begining of the game as well as having the practice sword. Link can run around Skyloft inside of the menu screen. To fix this glitch then Link must go to the bird statue closest to the plaza, save and reload the file that Link was playing on originally, thus bringing Link to where he last saved.

Skyward Bottle
To do this glitch, assign a Bottle to the minus button, and raise the Goddess Sword to prepare a Skyward Strike. Just as it finishes charging, press the minus button. Link will put the charged sword away while pulling out a now slightly glowing Bottle. The sound effect of the charging will still be heard. Note that this glitch requires perfect timing, as too early will not charge it, and too late simply will not work.

Warping Parella
To perform this one, race the Parella at Lake Floria and break the wood before she gets to it. She will warp there instantly and say her usual lines.

Wrong Dialogue
Sometimes, when using Instructor Owlan's bed, instead of the "How long do you want to sleep?" dialogue, it will give the dialogue as if the player was selling bugs to Stritch, but with Fi's options by saying, "Let's see... today I feel like buying: Advice Play Time Objective
