Link won’t fly in Skyward Sword, nor will Epona

This information comes from an interview with Eiji Aonuma in Nintendo Power…

“[Laughs] I hadn’t thought of that [Epona as a Pegasus]! You surprised me with that one! Of course, you know, Link does have to travel between Skyloft and the land below, and back and forth, so he’s obviously going to have to do that via some sort of conveyance. That being said, I’d like to reveal that at a later time, so I don’t want to give away too much other than to say that he is going to be traveling between the two. However, I can guarentee he’s not going to be flying around like [Pit from] Kid Icarus!”

Travelling between the sky and mainland will obviously be a huge element in Skyward Sword. I’m just wondering about how players will be able to accomplish that. Link isn’t flying…And neither is Epona. But he’s going to have to descend from the sky without hurting himself somehow!
