It opens with various runes hinting at Hyrule's past, before Link opens giant doors on to the sky and leaping into the clouds.

And is that a stasis rune upgrade to ride rocks into the sky?

Nintendo said in a press release that, in addition to the vast lands of Hyrule, the latest entry in the Legend of Zelda series will take you up into the skies and an expanded world that goes beyond that.

Later we see Link flying on some sort of glider - will this be used throughout the game?

So what does that title mean? Discuss those theories in the comments!
