Hylian Skies

Hylian Skies is a starter stage in Super Smash Flash 2, based on the Light and Dark Worlds from the game .

Layout
The stage is comprised of one large floating grass-covered lump of earth. The stage itself has a staircase and a ladder on the side wall. There is also a little staircase that leads to nowhere in the foreground. There is a little platform with a tree on the stage background. With stage hazards turned on, the entire stage transitions into the Dark World after about 47 seconds, where the stage layout reverses and the background changes. The stage later returns to the Light World.

Music

 * The main music track is Dark World, a synthesized dramatic remix of the overworld themes of the Dark World and Light World from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.
 * The alternate music track is Death Mountain, a symphonic orchestral remix of the mountain and forest themes of the Dark World from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

Tournament legality
Hylian skies is banned in tournament play. The bowl shape of the stage makes horizontal KOs difficult, while the high walls can greatly extend combos beyond reason. The edges of the stage are powerful camping locations as well.

Origin
The location of the stage does not exist anywhere in  series. Instead, the stage is based on the motifs in the game The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. In the mentioned game, there is a Light World and a Dark World in which Link must travel to in order to complete his journey. The decorative features of Hylian Skies changes to match the Light World and the Dark World when the change between the two worlds occur (this change is also illustrated by the map in the background which itself is an overworld map of A Link to the Past).
