Bugs:The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
This page details bugs of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
Song of the Hero Game-Breaking Bug
When completing the Song of the Hero quest, it is possible to break the game by talking to Golo the Goron after completing the Lanayru portion of the quest but before completing the Faron or Eldin portions. This is because talking to Golo sets a trigger preventing the Faron or Eldin portions of the quest from being triggered, even after the Lanayru portion of the quest has been completed.
This glitch was patched in newer releases of the game, however the only way it can be corrected once it has occurred is through the use of an external Wii channel.

If the player resets the game immediately after selecting "Continue" on the Game Over screen, they will respawn on the title screen, with full control of Link on an alternate version of Skyloft.
Bird Statue Select Softlock
When entering Lanayru for the first time, there is a chance the game will display the "select a bird statue" screen; however, because the player has never entered the area before, there are no bird statues to select, preventing them from continuing. This softlock will persist even after the player resets their game.
Under normal gameplay, the bird statue screen will be bypassed automatically. This glitch is not well-documented, and it is unclear what causes it to happen or if there are any more specific circumstances surrounding it.
