The Isle of Songs

After conquering the first three dungeons, Link will be sent back to Skyloft to solve the secret of the Ballad of the Goddess. In doing so, he will discover an entrance to the previously inaccessible Thunderhead; inside, the Isle of Songs awaits.

Seeking Levias

Later on, after completing another three dungeons, Link returns to Skyloft to search for the whereabouts of the Triforce. After discussing with the teachers at the Knight Academy, Link decides to seek out Levias, the sky guardian, said to have lived in the skies since the very beginning.
