Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
 


New e3 demo

Link not working anymore. And neither is Nintendo's E3 website. :(

Other than blatantly ripping off Avatar and How to Train Your Dragon and the graphics looking really dated...this looks like standard fare Zelda stuff. Color me lukewarm excited, but for once I am more excited for all the other games and new console stuff that isn't Zelda related.

Ginkasa 06-07-2011 04:37 PM
Re: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
 
Because those two movies are the first to have people flying on things? Similarity does not equal "blatantly ripping off."

Yeah, its getting noticeable how far behind the Wii is, though.

Angrist 06-07-2011 05:33 PM
Re: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
 
I also don't think it's ripping off. Link has flown with animals before, it was just never a big aspect of a game. And never free roaming (which I hope this will be).

But yeah I guess, most of that doesn't look all too new. But still most probably one of the best games I'll play this year.

I think it looks great. I don't know much about it yet, but I'll have to read up.

Looks great - love me some Zelda.

Here's hoping the Wii U will have upscaling.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword boasts the most realistic sword combat of any game to date, turning every encounter into a challenge of both brains and brawn. Wii MotionPlus technology accurately translates the angle of every sword slice, effectively putting Link's blade in the player's hand. Analyzing enemy attack and defense tendencies and counteracting with precise swings of the sword provide a satisfying experience that blends puzzle-solving with a new and distinctly unique combat system.

Explore a massive, multilayered world that seamlessly blends soaring exploration in a sea of clouds with intense ground-based adventuring that blurs the line between the main world and traditional Zelda dungeons. Link™ soars through the skies on the back of a noble bird and dives beneath the clouds to the continent below in an epic quest that lays the foundation for the events in the critically acclaimed The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Prepare for intense puzzle-solving as only The Legend of Zelda games can deliver. Exploration of the forests, volcanoes and deserts requires players to think on their feet as they solve puzzles, overcome obstacles and escape deadly traps. Once they find their way to each dungeon, they are confronted by even more puzzles guarded by fiendish enemies.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword redefines the traditional Zelda framework and introduces an arsenal of items, upgrades and rewards unlike any game in the franchise to date. The adventure guides players into, out of and back to dungeons and areas they've already completed. Along the way, Link gathers a massive inventory of peculiar items and resources that can be used to upgrade many of his weapons and equipment.

-Skyloft is the "hub" and is like WW's Great Sea, but with flying
-Hyrule is one giant dungeon, and the actual temples are like dungeons-within-dungeons
-Giant birds replace the horse/boat
-You will be required to revisit dungeons you've already beaten, a la Metroid
-Items will be upgradeable, but you'll have to find the necessary materials
-Dungeons have warp points like the cauldrons in WW, but they warp you back to Skyloft
-Zelda is a Saria/Malon/Ilia-type character and does not start the game as royalty
-There is orchestrated music, and it's awesome
Some info from Nintendo and e3 attendees.

I want to add on to my last post that it has indeed been reported that the Wii U will not upscale...so we will unfortunately not be able to enjoy this game again in near HD next year.

That looks much better than I expected.

Re: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
 
Can't wait for this. This will finally make use of the Wii remote to its full potential (although Red Steel 2 already did very good with it). And Zelda is one of the few franchises that makes me make time to finish it no matter what.

:drool: AAH YEAH... ZELDA ME NOW.

You evil nay sayers, I will hear none of your blasphemy, how dare you even think of saying something bad about this. It looks fukkin amazing. Anyone who says otherwise is a big ball of spam and cheese all mixed together.

Am I 'a bit' biased about Zelda much... uum yeah just 'a bit'... only a 'little' bit mind ;)

He looks homeless, and has for a while now with that shaggy thing.

I heard it's for some kind of musical he's in.

Context is important, thanks :)

The last few months on Reddit people have been posting pictures of themselves posing with Hobo-Williams and I thought he'd gone off the deep end.

I wish I had that kind of an involvement with either of my parents with video games like that. I have a friend who has Ocarina of Time burned into his memory because he would read the strategy guide to his dad while his dad played.

That's awesome.

Release dates:

November 18 for Europe.
November 20 for North America.

:D

Re: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
 
Glad to finally see a release date. Now the real question: Can I possibly wait to get this as a Christmas gift?

And will it be bundled with Wiimotion+, as I still dont have it!

Angrist 08-18-2011 02:55 AM
Re: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
 
They confirmed a golden WiiMote+, so I assume that will be bundled with the game. I just wonder about the price... will they have the guts to price the bundle €50 and the separate game lower?

Blix 08-18-2011 05:24 PM
Re: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
 
I hope there's more than just a Golden Wii Mote for the collector's edition. We're getting that sound track anyways (once you register your game). I don't need an extra controller even though I don't have a Wiimote + controller. My 3 M+ will do just fine.

Angrist 08-27-2011 02:42 AM
Re: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
 
Is anyone 'feeling' it yet? The game is less than 3 months away. :D

On the toilet I was thinking how sweet it should be to jump off your bird to enter a place in Hyrule... and then later whistle your bird to pick you up.

Ginkasa 08-27-2011 06:18 AM
Re: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
 
I have no desire to know what anyone thinks about while on the toilet.

Blix 08-27-2011 07:42 PM
Re: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
 
I'm not. Zelda: Skyward Sword will be a great stress reliever after I'm done with this semester.

Seems like Nintendo is doing a special edition of the game

Angrist 08-29-2011 12:41 PM
Re: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
 
I am so getting that. :D
And the box art looks so epic!!!

Any price known yet?

As I still dont have Wiimote +, it looks like I will be getting the special edition! Does anyone know if this box art is for the special edition only, or will all the box art look like this?

Its the box-art for the game

Absolutely loved it at PAX. I played the bird level and the dungeon level. The boss looked a little weird but the gameplay was as solid as always. I can't wait for this to come out!

I'm so torn on this. I really do not need a third wii motion plus, but that controller is awesome looking.

It would be really horrible if you accidentally lost or destroyed one of your existing Wii Motion Plus controllers. Good thing this bundle will be here soon to replace that controller if the worst should come to pass.
