There is a game breaking bug in Skyward Sword, which if triggered prevents certain events from taking place, making it impossible for you to progress to the end of the game. It is not yet known exactly what causes the bug, but this is what seems to be the safest course of action to avoid it (no spoilers, just vague hints).
At one point late in the game you will be tasked with visiting each of the areas down on the surface to get one part of something from each of them. You are free to do them in any order (unlike earlier in the game, when you are also visiting each of them for something), but if you choose to do certain areas last you might find yourself stuck as crucial events refuse to happen. Many people have done them in the "wrong" order without issue - just the simple act of doing this does not cause the bug - while others (like myself) have found themselves unable to progress through the game. It seems clear that the bug is caused by a combination of doing certain areas last and some other unknown factors. Anyway, thus far nobody has reported the bug happening when doing Lanayru last, so this seems to be the safest way to do it.
That is all.
