Link’s room is diagonal to Groose’s room and next to Fledge’s room. I’d never noticed before that Link and Fledge’s rooms aren’t divided by a wall but panels, so they could see one another’s floors. I wonder which came first: the dividing panels or the residents?
Since Link’s room has a bed, it allows you, the player, to control the day/night schedule. Unlike other Zelda games where the time changes automatically, the time in Skyward Sword is controlled by you. This is likely because you can’t fly at night and it wouldn’t be reasonable to restrict half of the gameplay. You could choose to sleep until the morning or until the night, and both options happily refill your hearts which is very nice.
One hidden detail in Link’s room is the possibility of him being a wood sculptor! On Link’s desk are blocks of wood, a mallet and chisel, and an unfinished block of wood that appears to be in progress. On top of Link’s tallest dresser are two completed wooden sculptures of his Loftwing and a Remlit, and in his wardrobe are two smaller bird statues (one is a green bird in the lower-right corner which may be tricky to see). These sculptures are also painted!
If we continue to look inside of his wardrobe, it includes more books, school flags, two pairs of shoes, a satchel, and red-and-blue Loftwing feathers. Link also keeps three plants in his room as well as dozens of books. I just love the idea of Link being an artist who collects books and plants!
Some smaller details about Link’s room include his walls, floor, and rug. The walls are green with greenish/yellowish blocks that act almost as borders, and the brown floor honestly looks like dirt, but that’s neither here nor there. Finally, the rug is a nice mix of reds and blues with some green; a very stylish choice for our hero!
