Feast Your Eyes on Skyward Sword's Intro Movie

Wowza doesn't even come close, this looks so awesome and out before my birthday along with Mario! Thanks Nintendo.

Oh my...
I am so glad I finally convinced myself to pre-order this game. I had been debating whether I should, because I already have Super Mario 3D Land pre-ordered. In total I would be paying $110, but it seems now to be well worth it!

I can't wait for this game. This will absorbs so much of my life that I just want it here now!

This intro is amazing. Really great art and the music is just amazing. Can't wait to hear all the tracks in this game!

Lookin' good. I'm genuinely excited for this game! And so, the earliest tale gets told.

Heheheh... let the rest of the timeline speculation machine begin anew!

I didn't care for that too much, but I can't wait to play the game again.

great, now I'm gonna fail all my classes... so can't wait to get hold of this amazing game

I so refuse to watch this!

The problem with watching this video is now I want to embark on my adventure NAOW.

Also, the music is impressive. The more I see of Skyward Sword, the more obvious the kind of labor of love it is for Nintendo.

is it o.k for me to love this game

When it talks about humans, it doesn't mean Link's people, right? Link's a Hylian (hence the pointy ears).

I suspect that the Legend of Zelda timeline is like Final Fantasy's, they exsist, but no actual timeline is set in stone. With the exception of Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask, because we KNOW MM follows OoT, as speculated in the game itself.

Thinking that skyward sword is approaching has been helping my "special time" of the day become way shorter

That intro kind of departs from the standard zelda intro story. Not thrilled with the intro though, hope the other story elements are more engaging

@timp29 I have no idea what you are talking about. I mean every Wind Waker related Zelda starts with this kind of intro, this one just has a different story. Even Minish Cap had this kind of intro. It's got a new style to it but thats about it. It actually looks really good.

Wait...aren't there three (four, counting the Goddess of the Sand) Goddesses in The Legend of Zelda's lore? Who is this mysterious "The Goddess" anyways?

@RetroEagle
Don't forget Windwaker and Phantom Hourglass.

Anyway, nice intro, but what I really care about is what comes after the intro ends.

Some intro movie.
Nothing but pages of a storybook. Misleading title.

The only part I liked was after the storybook predictability. And the music was superb.

A power that can turn "desires into reality?" If the goddess had such an omnipotent power, why couldn't she just use it and "desire" for all of the demons to be destroyed and the fissure to be sealed?

Damn, this is the scariest Zelda movie I've ever seen.

Nothing too interesting. It's basically the Wind Waker intro mixed with a Link to the Past, with some sky added in.

Also, implying this game will not have Zoras.

It's interesting how much this game's setup mirrors that of Wind Waker: the old Hyrule, long ago fallen, is lost down below. Now, instead of the world being covered by water and Hyrule submerged, the people have retreated to the clouds, but its the same basic idea of upper / lower worlds.

I prefer the Wind Waker into and setup to this one. It was darker and more mysterious, and didn't explain what actually happened to Hyrule until you find it later in the game, deep under the ocean, and that was one of the most stunning moments in Zelda history.

@NintendoPurist: Actually nothing said that there were only three. Wind Waker implied several times that there were other gods (and goddesses) besides the big three. Heck you meet two or more of them throughout the game

@cerealkiller not three goddesses, just one. no mention of the triforce, demons taking over the ground, people escaping to the sky. I haven't played minish cap, but I feel it is different enough from the usual story about three goddesses and triforce to warrant a mention

Heh, I'm always surprised at how much significance people attribute to Zelda stories. From a story point of view, Zelda games are simply poor. It's always game mechanics first, everything else later. In this case, they probably just needed an excuse for letting players fly around on birds in a sea of clouds. (Same thing with the trains in Spirit Tracks, the sea in WW and so on...)

That is not to say, the atmosphere can't be excellent and that's what I love about this intro and Zeldas in general. The music here really "tells" the story as much as what the text says.

My suppressed sense of zelda timeline theories is tingling so bad xD

@RetroEagle
True, but you're being far too simplistic. It is more complicated than that; It is fairly obvious that Wind Waker and TP come after OoT.

@dimlylitmonkey

Hylians are humans, from Hyrule. I am a human, from Canada, thus I'm a Canadian. They can't be called Hylians in the game, because I don't think Hyrule has been named yet.

@RetroEagle

each final fantasy game isnt set in the same world they are all different with the exception of sequals in mind

@BulbasaurusRex: Because then there wouldn't be an adventure to play!

hey guys do u remember the legend of zelda skyward sword at E3 2010. it's carp 1 year on they improve a lot graphics much better than last year

Seems to be a great game!
Instant buy!

I love the Legend of Zelda series of game. But after Twilight Princess the game kinda just.....felt like it was time for me to just move on. But when I make enough money at work to buy a 3DS I will be getting Sonic Generations (Both 3DS and PS3 versions of games) Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, and Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D (just for old time sake)
