Topic: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Does this game take place in Hyrule? With all of these zelda games taking place in other regions, I might just have to change my name...

You think TP is nonlinear? Go play The first Zelda(on the NES) and get back to me.

Hmmm why should I? It looks even worst than TP.

I generally enjoyed TP, it was just some of the puzzles or level design that were irritating. The side quests seemed utterly pointless against the backdrop of a world-threatening catastrophe and that stuff took me out of the game a bit. Unlike Metroid Prime though, I did see it through to the end and I'm definitely interested in the new game.

I enjoyed the mini-missions, some of the puzzles were dam near impossible. However, TP is one of those game that you can play once, but get sick of after completing it, but that's just my opinion...

I'm really looking forward to Skyward Sword though, the art style looks awesome and the controls look amazing, and by the looks of things they've tightened up the controls a lot too. But, to be honest, I'm more amazed by bomb bowling (I think that should be a mini-game you can play online).

This game is set to look fantastic! Just need to wait for a release date now... the anticipation is killing me. D:

Sounds to me like you don't want to play any games that involve thinking, therefore you should steer clear of any Zelda games.

I enjoyed TP quite a bit as well. I didn't like it as much as MM or OoT but it was still better then most other games out there. The score of 8/10 was a just a slap in the face to a great game. Compare it with all the other 8's NIntendo life has awarded to wii games.

By the way, I made a topic about my awesome ideas that should be implemented in Skyward Sword or other future Zelda games. The topic got locked... (I guess my ideas were just too good for human eyes ) I was hoping to get some more feedback and here what ideas you guys might have.

how long's it been since you thought about this?

new (big) screens apparently showing some visual progress. open in a new tab:

overall, it looks consistently darker, which makes me wonder if a lot of the differences are due to the capturing method, but you can see a few definite changes.

here's a comparison with the brightness of the new shots pumped up: http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/272/3/5/zelda_shots_by...

it's a little over saturated but it looks more the way i imagine these shots were supposed to.

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.
