Icarus flew using the wax and feather wings his father made him. He died by flying to close close to the sun. The sun melted the wax off and Icarus fell to his death and drowned.

Why cant pit from kid Icarus fly?

Well, look at the title. In a Greek myth, there is a boy and his father who is sent to jail. The boy's name is Icarus. They come up with a plan to get out of jail by collecting feathers and sticking them together with wax. When they were done, Icarus did not listen to his father about not going to close to the sun. So eventually, Icarus's wings melted off from the wax and he fell. Now, think about, Pit can't fly, and the title is Kid Icarus. Icarus was the boy's name, and he could not fly, just like Pit.

Icarus didn't listen, and ended up plummeting into the Iccarian Sea.
