As i was buying Monster Hunter Tri today, i saw pre-order info that said that the game will be released on the 8th of February 2011.

miyamoto: “What we are focused on is creating gameplay mechanics so the gameplay experience feels very dense. In fact, the overall experience is going to feel more dense. We hope that people will want to go back and replay the game once they finish it”.

are they going to out-dense majora's mask? from the sound of it this is going to be one of the best zeldas in a long time.

My 700th Heart Attack during E3 happened when they revealed this game.

The graphics are stellar, although some despise them due to their mysterious blend of Twilight Princess and Wind Waker. I have no clue why, because both of those games had great graphics, and this new style really fits the game.
I can't comment much on the gameplay, but from what I've seen it looks decent. Anything to tear my family away from the xbox 360. They love motion control.

new release window:
"(Miyamoto's) team is now entering into the final completion stage of the game. Talking about The Legend of Zelda franchise ... “The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time” has been in the process of being remade for Nintendo 3DS, and this Nintendo 3DS version is expected to hit the market earlier."

we know ocarina of time isn't due out until "after E3", so skyward sword is at the earliest going to be a late summer release. nintendo may well save it for their big christmas release at this point.

Well that sucks.

This game better out-dense Majora's Mask.

Here we all thought a Early 2011 release. It's seems to be a August or October release most likely.

As long as it makes it out this year, I'll be content. Besides, I'll have Ocarina 3D to hold me off

I hope its a July release so we can get to play it all during summer break.

Man, the lack of press coverage/details is kinda making me worry.

Probably gonna be more info at the Game Developer's Conference or e3

now this is something: here's the GDC trailer.

the music sounds orchestrated, which is good news. but here's the really good part: listen to it in reverse.

Holy craaaaaap.

Did you guys see this in reverse?
Check out this Easter Egg

That is awesome!
Good find!

I don't get it?

n00b.
Only kidding. If you're a big Zelda geek you'll get it, but make sure you play it with the sound up That was my initial mistake.

Oh, OK - that'd be it. I've never played a Zelda game! (well, not for more than a couple of minutes...)

you'd have to play ocarina of time to know it. it's zelda's lullaby, in a different key and reversed.

Ah, OK thanks. I'll get around to that soon! (I own it, just haven't had time to play it)

That is probably the best thing in the world.
