You’ll know you’re lined up when the shield on the back of the windmill lights up blue.

Speak to Gondo in the Skyloft Bazaar. He will tell you about scraper and ask for a Ancient flower that he needs to fix it.

You probably have one (or more) of your time at Lanayru Desert and the Lanayru mining facility. If you don’t, go back and look for one.

Once the Scrapper has been repaired, Fi will add windmill parts to your dowsing menu. Gondo will then tell you to Sparrot.

He will tell you to go to a mountain of fire … just down the mountain from this temple – Eldin Volcano.

the Windmill propeller we need is on the ground right next to the tower. Ask Fi to call Scrapper to come get him.

Find a bird statue, return to the sky and return to Skyloft.

Fi will sing along with you and the tower will spin, sending a beam of light into the huge storm clouds to the northwest.

Inside the Thunderhead

Summon your Loftwing and fly along the beam of light into the Thunderhead.

Continue straight until you reach the island to which the beam is leading you – the The island of songs.

The island of songs

Your first task on the Isle of Songs is to rotate rings to build a bridge.

There are three blocks that represent parts of the bridge – you need to line up all three between here and the tower.

There is also a grid-shaped block just to the left of the central pillar. This raises and lowers various stops around the discs which prevent the bridge pieces from rotating.

To align the bridge, do the following:

1. Hit the rightmost crystal on the grid.
2. Spin the discs until the first and second blocks line up at about 1 hour.
3. Hit the left crystal on the grid.
4. Spin discs with one click.
5. Hit the top crystal.
6. Spin the discs until all three blocks line up at the 11 o’clock position.
7. Hit the top crystal.
8. Spin discs with one click.

Cross the bridge and crawl through the tunnel. Save at bird statue on another side.
