Why is the Loftwing not coming when I whistle for it

zelda-skyward-sword

I have already got to the deep woods in Zelda: Skyward Sword but my son decided to use the bird statue to return to the sky in the middle of the quest.

Now I can't get back down to the woods. If I throw myself off the edge in the sky and press down, the Loftwing doesn't collect me. How can I return to Faron Woods?

Best Answer

Link may only leave Skyloft under 2 conditions:

  1. It must be daytime. Only graduates of the Academy are allowed to fly at night; attempting to skydive at night results in the annoying lecture from the Rescue Knight.
  2. Link may only skydive from designated points (usually wooden piers) in Skyloft; falling off anywhere else does not cause him to assume the skydiving posture, and results in the annoying lecture from the Rescue Knight.
