Sky Guardian

The Sky Guardian is a type of flying guardians guarding the supernatural reality known as the Silent Realm. Both the Silent Realm and its inhabitants were created by the Goddess Hylia and as such the Sky Guardians are entities created by the Goddess to perform a certain task. This task being testing the desincarnated spirit of the hero who would eventually wander into the Silent Realm in search of relics left behind by the Goddess. Unlike the Earth Guardians who are tall humanoids, the Sky Guardians are cloacked and appear to be only an upper body as nothing bellow their long skeletal arms is ever seen.

Behavior
They remain dormant most of the time. The only way to awaken them is if an intruder step outside of the protective circles found near the entrances to the Silent Realm. Once they are awakened, they will chase Link until he collect a Sacred Tear, which have the power to return them to their dormant state for 90 seconds. The protection of the Sacred Tear can be negated by a few factors, however. Link can step into Waking Water, which will immediatly awaken the Guardians that were put to sleep by a Sacred Tear. Link can also be spotted by a Watcher, which will then alert the sleeping Guardians. Unlike the Earth Guardians, the Sky Guardians are not restricted by obstacles and can float over every single one while chasing Link. They will defeat Link's spirit in a single blow, forcing him to restrart the entire trial.
