It sounds dumb but the game looks too bright...I hate to go back to Ocarina for reference, but there were elements that were very dark.The town being ravaged by ReDeads and disrepair was cool. Ganondorf riding his dark horse through the flames and Shadow Temple painting trickery was good as well. I hope this game isn't some storybook good vs. evil type thing a la Epic Yarn, but with Link in it.

TWW was bright as well yet it had some darker parts...so...

Like someone said earlier in this post, the Contrast was well done in previous titles. There were many bright spots in Wind Waker I'll admit, but with cel-shading that comes with the territory. The way the art style was going lent itself to that. Toon Link's face was also very expressive.

From the little I have seen of Skyward Sword I'm not sure when it is going to get 'serious'. Ganondorf getting you know what at the end of Wind Waker was serious...the blood at spurting from Ganon at the end of Link's repeated slashing in OOT was serious. With this game, I have the feeling the enemies are gonna disappear in puffs of smoke more whimsical than that of Twilight Princess.

Granted, its a pretty pessimistic outlook but I just don't want the game to be the Zelda version of Epic Yarn.

I'm not excited about any damn thing, so no, I'm not excited about what seems to be one of the weaker Zelda titles in history.



i'm not excited at all. i don't like the artsyle and combact seems too much gimmicky. also we still haven't heard anything about story/villain/etc

Strangely Master Quest was my first ever Nintendo game! When I bought the GameCube way back it was the silver GC with Zelda Wind Waker with Master Quest! I didn’t know the significance at the time so suffice to say I left it in a cupboard for years before going back and playing it. So because of that I’m not as super psyched as others over MQ being on the 3DS OoT remake. I am excited for OoT just more excited for Skyward Sword, fingers crossed we don’t get a years delay and port onto Nintendos next system aka Twilight Princess.

^^^^ and they sure took forever to get around to it. really, motion came out how long ago??? i look forward to plugging it back in my controller and not using it as a paper weight. (i would argue that Tiger Woods and RS2 were fully fleshed out, but not really)


Well, fully fleshed out adventure game then :P

I picked up Red Steel 2, pretty much because of the motion plus support alone. Fun game, but I wish it had multi, and the single player is very short.

          I chose 'To be or not to be, that is the question'. That's because I'm actually really hyped for it, and I will definitely be getting it no matter what, but I'm also scared that it might turn out bad. The 2 trailers haven't shown us much apart from the nice art style. I'm thinking stuff like 'they recently gave us Mario Galaxy and Pokemon Black' to keep my hopes up because Nintendo has shown that they know how to refresh a stale series. But the trailers have shown too much focus on motion specific stuff and I'm just hoping they though of other mind-blowing stuff that doesn't rely on motion. For example, Mario Galaxy had the whole gravity-specific gameplay and nice power-ups to complement the motion stuff like the Slingpods.

        I'm guessing that even if Skyward Sword won't be better than OoT like I hope it would, it will be better than Twilight Princess. That's a good enough reason for me to buy it!

This is all you need to know :P


Tried to watch it. "This video contains content from Sony Music....which has been blocked in your country due to copyright...". What should I search for on youtube to find the same video you posted?

No, the motion plus seems uneeded as does changing things to WSR mechanics.  Aside from that I've been losing interest in Zelda over the years due to increasing lack of difficulty.


    The lack of difficulty is what I hate the most about the series right now. I mean, Metroid and Mario managed to maintain their difficulty!

lol wut? If you don't like Zelda puzzles, why are you playing the games since puzzles are a big part of the series? Zelda dungeons have always been crammed with puzzles and the overworlds have always had puzzles as well so what are you talking about?

Soriku, your age is showing.

Be fair to Soriku, there was only one Zelda game that 1. predated the puzzle-dungeons, and 2. mattered



Speaking more seriously, it's perfectly okay to not be excited. Nintendo hasn't done most of the things that tend to get people excited for Zelda games in the past ~13 years; they haven't released a big cinematic trailer, they haven't shown what aspect of the gameplay (outside of combat) sets it apart from the rest of the series, they haven't showcased what the game's soundtrack will be like, on and on.

The hype train has yet to leave the station.
