Ehh...Cliched, but I'll roll with it.
SO there's the basic principle that's been set up, it's in the sky, there's a female captain, ecetera. That's about where the similarities end. My version is called The Legend of Zelda: The Cloud Runner.
Link is running around in Hyrule doing his heroic deeds, when a big hunk of wood crashes in front of him. Out of the wreck crawls a woman and a birdman, Lia and Heene respectively. They tell him of their plight and ask him to help fix their ship, The Blue Sky. So Link runs around and grabs some wood and stuff, and Heene starts fixing the ship. While he does that, Lia explains why they crashed.
In the Land of the Sky, Airships like the Blue Sky are the only way to travel. Until recently, ships were only made of wood and powered by balloons. Then Captain Drake invented a primitive rocket.
Armed with the rocket, he built an incredibly fast iron ship called the Thorn. Unsinkable and able to outrun any ship in the sky, Drake is using the Thorn to destroy all other airships, hoping to make himself the undisputed King of the Sky. Lia's ship is one of many that have fallen to Drake.
Heene finishes repairing the ship, and Lia invites Link to help them stop Drake. He joins them to find the one ship capable of ending Drake's reign: the legendary Cloud Runner.
