Skyloft is a paradise above the Cloud Barrier[1]. It is connected to the Isle of the Goddess by a small bridge. After evacuating to the Sky, the Hylians flourished, creating a militia and rebuilding their strength.
History
While it's known that the Isle of the Goddess came from the Sealed Grounds area, the origins of the tract of land that makes up Skyloft is unknown. Throughout history, the Zonai descended and ascended to the Sky multiple times and had the magical means to raise land. Whether the Zonai are connected to Skyloft or not is unknown, but heavily implied by The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Masterworks[citation needed] in reference to the mechanisms for moving Sky Islands. After the defeat of Demise, the Isle of the Goddess can be seen descending in a rotating motion, which matches the description given for the rotation of the Temple of Time when it was raised to the sky. Gorko also implies that the civilization in the sky was highly advanced, a phrase commonly used in reference to the Zonai[2].
