Previously, Link finished up in the Lanayru Mining Facility and defeated Moldarach. When he reached the Temple of Time, he got the Goddess Harp from Zelda, but she and Impa had to flee Ghirahim. Back in Skyloft, he cleaned up Pipit's House for some Gratitude Crystals and earned another reward from Batreaux. Then, he gave Fledge some Stamina Potion to begin his sidequest. Now, Link will continue the story by going to see the Old One in the Sealed Grounds.
Skyloft:
Link resumes near the Plaza in Skyloft. He dives off the nearby platform and calls his Loftwing.
The Sky (time 1:31):
Link dives down the green column of light. He does not get to choose his destination.
Sealed Grounds (time 1:58):
A scene takes place as Link descends to the surface. On the way down, he runs into Groose of the big red pompadour. It takes a bit for Groose to comprehend what's going on. Of course, he still doesn't get it.
After the scene, Link gains control near the Behind the Temple statue. He talks with Gorko nearby. Gorko talks about walls and statues that respond to beautiful tones. It sounds like Beautiful Butterflies flutter around these mysterious structures.
Link can snag little birds with the Bug Net to acquire Bird Feathers.
Link heads into the Sealed Temple.
Sealed Temple (time 11:09):
As Link enters the Sacred Temple, Groose causes a scene with the Old One. Mind your tongue, Groose. The Old One gives Link some training in playing the Goddess Harp. At first, he must strum it in time with her braid. Then, he must strum it in time with the circle of light on the floor. So much easier with the R stick than wonky motion controls. Link learns the Ballad of the Goddess.
Afterwards, a mysterious slab appears behind Link. The Old One explains what it is. Unfortunately, an urgent matter is cropping up in the pit outside.
Link saves at the Bird Statue and then heads out the southern door.
Sealed Grounds (time 18:19):
A scene takes place outside. The Old One tells Link to check the Sealing Spike in the pit.
Link drops down into the pit. A scene takes place as he approaches the Sealing Spike. The Imprisoned emerges! Link must defeat this behemoth before it escapes the pit.
Time for the first round against the Imprisoned. The hard way to stop it is to slash its toes. Once all its toes are defeated, it will fall on its back, and Link can hit the Sealing Spike on its head with upward vertical slashes. The easy way is to use an updraft to get above the Imprisoned and then drop onto its head. There, Link can use downward vertical slashes on the Sealing Spike. After taking three blows to the Sealing Spike, the Imprisoned will zoom up the ramp a short ways. Then, it will stand up, and Link will have to reach the Sealing Spike again.
After the Imprisoned has taken nine proper blows to the Sealing Spike, the Sealing Spike returns to the bottom of the pit. The Old One tells Link to seal the spike again.
Link descends to the Sealing Spike and hits it with a Skyward Strike. The player will have to draw a triangular pattern. This is a little tricky with the R stick.
Once Link has sealed the Imprisoned again, another scene takes place. The Old One guides him back into the temple.
Sealed Temple (time 27:01):
Another scene takes place inside the Sealed Temple. Link must power up his sword before he can do anything with the mysterious slab. There are flames that he must gather from each province. To find them, he must return to Skyloft and learn about the Ballad of the Goddess.
After the scene, Link heads out the southern door from the temple again.
Sealed Grounds (time 30:27):
Outside, a brief scene with Groose takes place. I almost feel sorry for the guy. Almost.
Link reenters the temple.
Sealed Temple (time 32:41):
He heads out the eastern door from the temple.
Sealed Grounds (time 32:53):
When Link approaches Gorko, another scene takes place. Gorko calls his attention to the Blessed Butterflies nearby.
Link pulls out the Goddess Harp and strums near the Blessed Butterflies. This causes a Sheikah Statue to appear, possibly with a random treasure. Very interesting.
Link uses the Behind the Temple Bird Statue to return to the Sky.
The Sky (time 35:25):
Link flies to Skyloft and descends towards the academy.
The description is continued in the comments.
