At least you don't have to spend the first hour of the game as a Deku sprout.

I'm with you pixelman on track 3. It gets me so pumped!

Here's another version that looks a bit less flat.

Still a more credible hero than Link in the first hour of this game

I liked how Zelda was portrayed but man did Link look pathetic at the beginning.

oh yeah, and one of the reasons people probably confuse Zelda with RPGs is that most RPGs have equally bad first 1 or 2 hours.

Not sure if this has been posted, but I thought this was pretty cool

Dat skydive! Ugh, tep tep tep tep!!!

Funniest Zelda scene ever! Nintendo needs to bring back Groose in the future!

Just started the game yesterday. The first thing I did was use the toilet in the Knight's Academy.

I enjoyed the first few hours of the game, it has a great atmosphere.

Your going to wish you never sat on that toilet later on. Trust me! LOL!

Does anyone else here hate those ChuChus? I love the game but those things make me mad (especially the electric ones).

Why?

You'll see later on.

I AM THE GREAT MIGHTY POO!!

I finished it this morning, so I'm just going to list some general thoughts (mostly good mixed with some very minor quibbles).

-I'm not sure yet where I think it fits into my personal (and somewhat amorphous) rankings of the series, but I know that I had a blast with it and that it didn't overtake my favorite (Majora's Mask).
-The new controls and attempts to mix up the overworld structure were largely successful and well-implemented, in my eyes. They really went a long way towards making Skyward Sword feel fresh. Same goes for the new races and characters.
-Fi, though, is my least favorite of Link's 3D companions. She's like Navi, but with almost no personality, less useful advice and even more nagging.
-I was a fan of the art style going into it, and saw nothing that made me change that opinion throughout the course of the game.
-The dungeon design was particularly strong throughout, but I loved, loved, loved the desert dungeons. They're some of favorites in the entire series (and I've played them all).
-I definitely felt like there was some padding here and there in that final stretch, but at least it was mostly fun padding. Unlike TWW's late fetch quests...
-I'm not sure what was the point of all of those wallet upgrades. By the time I acquired the final one, I'd already bought every new item and upgrade.
-Bug hunting was unexpectedly exhilirating.
-I can't believe it took us this long to have an orchestrated Zelda. It fits the series like a glove.

The ChuChus could be annoying at times, but it took me more attempts than I care to admit before I could get the hang of fighting Staldras.

I've gotta say, I'm a bit Sigourney Weaver stumped based on if i should even plunge into Skyward Sword at this time...Considering I have yet to play though ALTTP and OOT. Don't start hucking those radical rocks just yet!

I'm guessing it's best if i go through ALTTP on the Wii's VC, and 'then' OOT 3D for the 3DS, and THEN take a trip to Skyward Sword...Otherwise i might have a hard time going back to OOT's traditional controls seeing as how SKyward Sword's look absolutely amazing. Plus Id feel like a complete goober head if i didn't fully experience ALTTP beforehand either.

So I'm finally playing through this game (started it a while ago but I tend to do that, start a game then actually continue playing through it several weeks later). But yeah, I'm loving it right now although Fi's Captain Obviousness is driving me a bit nuts XD, other than that I have absolutely no complaints.

I'm not chucking rocks, but I'm surprised that you haven't played these two phenomenal games, being the retro gamer you are. Those two games are the best games I've ever played. They will change you...

BTW, add me as a 3DS friend. I'll add you as well.

SPOILER ALERT!
SPOILER ALERT!
SPOILER ALERT!
SPOILER ALERT!
I have a question, but for those of you who haven't finished the game, SPOILER ALERT!

[size=50]At the end of the game when Zelda gives one of her bracelets to Impa and then returns to the present, she sees Impa wearing the bracelet and Zelda realizes that the old tree-looking person who helped Link and Groose earlier was Impa. When I started Hero Mode, I noticed that Impa (in the present) was wearing the bracelet already. How is this possible?

Also, right before the final battle with Ghirahim, he says he's a "weapon" of..something (I don't remember) and there's a weird viewing of a black sword. Does this mean that he's actually a weapon but personified as a human/demon?[/size]

/spoiler

I for one loved Fi. It seems a lot of people didn't though. I found her entire character to be fascinating. The way she spoke, they way her physical character was designed made me curious. at some points she was the reason i came back to play, because i wanted to learn who Fi was. Unfortunately many of my questions about her were left unanswered in the end. I actually became so attached to her character that SPOILER when she left i became very sad. SPOILER END

well im still thinking about the braclet for all the technicalities i believe the "weapon" portion is something i can explain. Basically Ghirahim is like Fi. He is the spirit of the sword, or the sword itself in essence. He is to Demise's sword as Fi is to ours. I can explain further if you want.
