The Great Sky Island serves as the introductory tutorial zone where Link awakens and learns to navigate the sky islands. Guided by the spirit of Rauru, Link must explore the island to locate four Shrines of Light and unlock his core arm abilities. Completing these tasks allows him to open the Temple of Time's inner sanctum and take a leap of faith to begin his journey across Hyrule.
