The following is from an article in Nintendo Power.
...Since the game is partially set in the sky, any chance Epona is a Pegasus?
Aonuma - [Laughs] I hadn't thought of that! 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!
