The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword was released for the Wii console on November 20, 2011. It has since come to our attention that if a specific sequence of actions are performed when completing the Song of the Hero quest, further progress in the game can't be made. This prevents the player from being able to complete the game.
How to prevent this situation from occurring
To complete the Song of the Hero quest, the player must visit three different locations to collect three dragon songs. To prevent the situation where the game can no longer be completed from happening:
- Complete the quests in Faron Woods or Eldin Volcano first. Do not go to the Lanayru Desert first.
- If the Thunder Dragon's Song from the Lanayru Desert has already been collected first, do not talk to a Goron named Golo until the other songs have been collected. (Golo is found at the entrance to Lanayru Mine.)
What prevents the game from being completed?
In the quest for the Song of the Hero, if the Thunder Dragon Song in the Lanayru Desert is collected first and Golo the Goron is spoken to before the other songs are collected, the cut scenes that start the sequences to get the songs in the other areas won't occur. This prevents being able to make any further progress in the game.
