Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword!!

2011

Just found this out!!! I'm excited, it looks like I'll have to get both a Wii and and a PS3 as there fantastic games on both!

I have both and I have to say they really complement each other.. I go through periods when I'm mOre into Wii games (Mario, Zelda etc) and then periods when I need my PS3!!

Re: Zelda, I'm anticipating this game, Hope it's as good as the others.. Twilight Princess is one of my all time favourites..

I definitely considering getting both especially now I've been promoted (well not exactly... :lol:

) I'll have more money to spend on them!

Really looking forward to this game! 8-)

New Trailer

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0xl-SFyG9Q

To be honest, it does not excite me as much as I wished for. I will probably learn to love the game eventually, since it's Zelda! But this is just Link fooling around, extremely dull trailer. And where's that "spark"?

Hmm. Can a moderator change the title of this topic to Zelda - Skyward Sword? Since jason is banned

^ I really liked the trailer, they've gone back to how it was on the N64, they haven't changed too much about it aswell!

It looked kinda oldschool! I can't wait for it! All of the Zelda games have been great! 8-)

Although Ocarina has a special place and will always be the best!

Released in the middle of November!!!

I liked WindWaker (first game I preordered) but the layout of the map completely turned me off. The dungeons and larger islands were brilliant but I wished they had fewer but bigger islands.
Okay so TP with the WW visual style, oh and the orchestra that did the music for Mario Galaxy.

This will be my first Zelda game! the previews look stunning, got me excited to try it out! I don't own a wii though, I'll probably borrow my nieces'

I'd buy one if the Wii U wasn't announced

:D

Your first Zelda game? I hope you will enjoy this, because it would be a shame it you did not like Skyward Sword and therefore don't want to try the other games.

Can a moderator change the title to this thread?

Right I need to finally get a Wii! :lol:

So excited for more Zelda!! 8-)

Vin are you going to vote in my video game countdown? I'd love to have your votes included!

Thanks to Matthew for changing the title of this thread! I feel like a child, so excited for this game!

I will play this with great passion, as always with new Zelda games. It is always a joy to explore a new Zelda adventure during wintertime.

Video Game countdown? Have I missed something?

It is receiving massive acclaim!

(from wikipedia - there are links on the official wikipedia page for the game where you can read the individual reviews)

Skyward Sword has received critical acclaim. Skyward Sword's first review, from ONM on October 20, scored 98%, making it the highest-rated Wii game and tied with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D as the highest-rated overall game from the magazine, praising the title as the "best Zelda game ever made". A day later, Edge gave the game 10/10. Edge's review said "How apt that this ultimate tale of heromaking should see Nintendo’s hardware become the console it was always meant to be", describing it as "a game made for Christmas Day, released an agonising six weeks before". GamesTM gave the game a 9/10, and said "Spellbinding, dramatic and absolutely epic in both the world it paints and the story it tells, Zelda: Skyward Sword is a hugely important event for the Wii, for Nintendo, and for anyone with even a passing love for the venerable series it celebrates." GameInformer said "Skyward Sword is one of those rare treasures, a 10/10 game."

Watch trailer 2

I had not seen this before.. The design in the beginning looks beautiful!

How monumental!

OK. I'll love this! But I'm concerned about one thing only.. and that is the side-quests. I did not feel as there was so much to explore and discover in Twilight Princess and Wind Waker, as there was in Majora's Mask and Ocarina Of Time.

I don't want to finish a temple, and then head on to the next one right away! I really hope this game will bring back that essential part in what makes Zelda the greatest series of all time (of course, together with Suikoden).

More side-quests! More secrets to unravel! More hidden items and characters! All of this is the reason to why I sometimes rank Majora higher than Ocarina - the world outside the temples and the storyline was....

HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Trailer 3 (contains one spoiler)

OK! No matter what. I WILL LOVE THIS!
Have I ever disliked one Zelda game though?

Click on the link in my signature!

Wow I'll have to watch these trailers when I get home!! btw I thought Windwaker had quite a few side quests, I really love that game but my favourite Zelda game remains Ocarina of Time, it is such an amazing classic adventure!

yeah I've never played any Zelda game! we used to have NES and SNES, my sister had a Legend of Zelda game but I don't remember ever playing it myself..

and don't worry, I know it's a huge series and I wouldn't judge it after playing just 1 game! even though I'm 99.9% sure that I'll love Skyward Sword a lot

by **Vindrag** » Thu Nov 10, 2011 1:13 pm

Oh, great! I can't say that I'm envious though, because I'm constantly re-visiting these games! :lol:

Yeah B. Wind Waker had more of that, but Twilight Princess had almost no interesting side-quests etc. Apart from those butterflies, and other small, small stuff.

Here's a trailer for the EARTH temple!

Watch

You were right B! It looks kind of old-school! LOVE that!

6 days!!!!!!

5 days

I've never been this excited for a Zelda game. I think this is exactly what I need in between the studies. My two nieces are going to play with me this time, I've promised them. They think that Link's actual name is Pink - so silly!!

by **truthless** » Mon Nov 14, 2011 7:22 pm

I'm still not sure if i am going to buy Skyward Sword. It's release here is on Friday. The previews seems to be exciting and great. Damn im so unsure ;/.

I was about to buy COD Battlefield 3, but my Computer sucks lol.

by **CrazyCrazy** » Mon Nov 14, 2011 7:33 pm

I've watched these trailers the one with the harp looks great!

2 things though I'm not happy about - the fact they've changed Zeldas & Link's facial features (particularly Zelda)

She looks different! :-?

And I really hope they use some of the old melodies from Ocarina.
