City in the Sky

The City in the Sky is a collection of buildings floating high above Hyrule, which are inhabited by the Oocca. It is also the seventh dungeon of.

The Oocca lived in the city long before the events of, but it is not known how it came to be built. The Oocca lack hands and, unless they posses magical abilities unseen in the game, it seems unlikely that they could have constructed such a settlement. The city was originally accessed by the Sky Cannon; however, the Oocca gradually lost touch with the world below, and the cannon fell into disrepair. At the beginning of, the had been no contact between the Oocca and the Hylians in living memory.

This changed when a piece of the shattered Mirror of Twilight came to rest in the city. Zant's minions invaded and badly damaged the fortress, forcing the Oocca (presumably fairly poor fighters) to retreat to the southernmost points of the structure. However, the presence of the Mirror Shard also brought the City in the Sky to the knowledge of Link, who, helped by a scholar named Shad, was able to decipher the ancient writing of the Oocca which had been left in Hyrule. After discovering the delapidated Sky Cannon and having it repaired by Fyer, Link launched himself up to the city, joined by his acquaintance Ooccoo (and her young son), an Oocca who had somehow been stranded on the ground.

Once in the floating fortress, Ooccoo reunited with her friends and Link ventured deeper into the ruined city to find the Mirror Shard and annihilate the invading army. After discovering a second Clawshot item, Link was able to work his way up to the highest points of the city and defeat Argarok, a fearsome (if pathetically stupid) dragon which he had spotted earlier on in the dungeon.
