1. Gaebora is Zelda's father. Gaebora was apparently a sage that got reembodied into that annoying owl in OoT. If Nintendo is ever going to start inventing a timeline, I sense this game will be full of references to the future.

Uuwww... wait... I thought the king of Hyrule was always Zelda's father... =/

This doesn't make much sense with the other Zeldas.

2. We've never had an Earth Temple before, have we? If the volcano isn't the fire temple, where the hell is the is it then!?

The Wind Waker had an earth dungeon. It was the one with the giant Poe as the final boss.

3. New races other than the mole people. It's about damn time.

Interesting. I do hope the Gorons and Zoras are still in there though.

4. The multiple HUD options will work as follows: Standard, for people who got the game for Christmas, and play it twice. Light, for the people who are trying to teach their kids to play Zelda. Pro, for people who aren't stupid.

Alright, sounds like good options.

5. Girahim wants to revive his master. I really hope his "master" isn't some sort of Ganon clone.

I would put my money on that it is Ganondorf... =/

But if they're going to make a villain reappear, I hope it'll be Majora.

6. Saving is no longer for anytime, but at certain statues. You no longer must start at the start of a dungeon, but instead where you left off. Yes, I've been waiting for this for a very long time.

Okay that's good. Though there was nothing wrong with Farore's Wind either.

7. Lots of genrally interactivity with the scenery.

That's always nice.

8. A day/night cycle not time based. This could work, but I hope the enemies that emerge at night actually provide a challenge to dfeat, as opposed to OoT.

Apparently Link must go to sleep to make time pass. Sounds a bit lame.

Well the King was always the King of Hyrule, which hasn't been discovered by the Skyloftinans yet. Link is the first person to go to the surface world or somethig.


This doesn't make much sense with the other Zeldas.

I don't think Zelda is royalty yet. It is the first game timeline-wise.


2. We've never had an Earth Temple before, have we? If the volcano isn't the fire temple, where the hell is the is it then!?

I wish I could find a copy of that game...

Gorons are confirmed, moblins, moles and two or so other races are still unknown.

Zelda as a teenager.

In OoT you saw Link and Zelda as kids and adults. This is what they'd look like if they had grown up normally.

MOAR INFO!

Apparently your sword can lock on to different auras, to find locate different things.

The Kikwi are cute little penguin type things that live in the Faron woods, a name you might remember from Twilight Princess.

The first Temple is apparently the Skyview temple.

Ah, there is an official thread for this.

I'm so amped for this game. Not really a fan of the Wind Waker entries. Although I already said that in another thread.

As to the moron who said earlier Nintendo needs new franchises and characters, I would kindly like to tell him to FUCK OFF. Nintendo does NOT need new franchises. Why should they fix something that isn't broken. They keep redefining their franchises in unique ways, so even if the characters get a little boring, the games do not.

Plus, I'd just like to say this: While Microsoft and Sony are sticking with their 7, 8 year-old consoles, Nintendo is moving on, and AGAIN redefining the word 'console' as we know it. I mean, a touch screen built right into the controller? FUCK YEAH!

I would like to thank Bobbybroccoli for all the info he linked to the thread.

I am really hyped about the game. I fixed my Wii a few months ago and been playing my Wii library and old games, it seems I did the fixing just in time, eh.

Really looking forward to this. Ghiranim and not Ganon is cool, but I hope the Master he wants to resurrect isn't the latter. And I am really hoping to see Majora or Fierce Deity in this game, I really do.

Gaebora is Zeldas dad? Interesting. I want to see how did this fucking piece of shit of owl looked like in human form. Hope he doesn't won't be annoying us with his loads of talking again.

And is the game bundled with a Wii Motion Plus?

The game has one bundle at launch, this bundle includes a gold wii motion plus remote, the game, and the game's soundtrack.

Later, they'll stop with that bundle, and release a new bundle with just the music and the game.

The bundle is only 10 dollars moire than the game. Who wouldn't buy the bundle?

Some trailers.

Some screenshots.

What I got from thses developements:

Zoras are out. New squid type creatures take over their role.

Lake Floria is the trademark water area of this game.

An odd dungeon was show, showcasing a lot of whip use, various water elements, and a cool looking golden statue we'd already seen before.

Swimming should be easier now. No more inaccurate diving controls, you just angle the wiimote the direction you want to go.

The slingshot seems to look different than other trailers/etc... It's red and can now shoot multiple shots. The upgrade system no doubt.

An earlier hunch I had was right. Bugs can now enhance potions.

An minigame island near Skyloft. Sounds cool.

Gorons like to travel.

Cool stuff.

Not that I disagree, but I always find it odd when a people complain that Ganon's the big bad too often. He hasn't been in a game since 2006 and has only appeared in 7 of the 14 main games so far, the only Ganoncluster being in the early 2000s. Nintendo usually has at least one game between his appearances, in fact we're at 3 now since it's been confirmed he won't be in this one.

Now that I have all that out, um... Yay, Skyward Sword!

Nice I enjoy looking at screenshots of new areas in the Loz games.

Hopefully that also comes with a bunch of treasure.

It seems they've improved a lot of every day Zelda features in this game.


The slingshot seems to look different than other trailers/etc... It's red and can now shoot multiple shots. The upgrade system no doubt.

Nice I was a little dissapointed with the slingshot controls in Twilight Princess in both GC and Wii versions of the game. Let's hope this one makes it greater.


An earlier hunch I had was right. Bugs can now enhance potions.

Wow nice I'll be putting time to slaying them for a first then.


An minigame island near Skyloft. Sounds cool.

Yeah seems interesting let's just hope it's not to out of style.


Gorons like to travel.

Cool stuff.

Also amusing.

I think the main problem people have with Ganon is that in some games where they act as if another new villain will get centerstage,
the game is hijacked by Ganon, so character's like Vaati and Zant don't get their deserving role as main villain.

I had a new guess: Since this is the creation of the Master Sword period, this means that there might be no... Ganon?

Soooooooo, how the hell is the best villain of all time trumped by a couple of newfucks? Opinions, shut up, I know, but for me when Ganon comes up it's just like, "YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! YEAH MU'FUCKA, YEAH!"

I'd rather it just be Ganon.

We had the statue thing in Majora's Mask. Dude, no, that is so lame about the dungeons.

Yes, Skyview Temple is the first level, it's also the first place you fight Ghirahim and get your Beetle.

Why so serious all of a sudden?

This trailer gives me the impression that the game will in fact have some dark story scenes, considering how evil Girahim's laugh sounded.

There's also this lady with dark skin who's appeared in another trailer besides this one, and no real info has talked about her yet.

Also, according to many early reviews, such as Edge and the Official Ninty magazine, the game is pretty damn good. I'm really looking ofrward to hearing more of this game's orchestrated soundtrack as well.

That's what I'm searching for ATM. The Twilight Princess opening music as well as ending credits was perfect, the music for it really made me pleased to own the game, it's pretty much the same with all the Legend Of Zelda games.

Apparently harps are deserving of full trailers.

Based on the amount of screentime the harp has gotten, I'm pretty sure it's a major plot element, considering Zelda made a big deal out of giving it to Link.

Well, I pretty much ignored all the Skyward Sword news, but I just saw the name Ghirahim in this topic and it looks a lot like Aghanim especially if you play around with the letters. We all know who Aghanim turned out to be. :P

Just a few more weeks! =)

Ganon will actually not be in Skyward Sword due to the fact that this takes place before when Link lived somewhere else and the Master Sword was in fact the Skward Sword.

Short recap: Fi is the Sword godess as well as your "fairy" companion this time around, Midna and Navi style. She is the Skyward Sword, to be turned into the Master Sword, which Lord Girahim wants to revive his master. The Triforece isn't very important in this one, therefore no reason for Ganon to make an ass out of himself.

well it looks like it plays in the same nature like all the other zelda games but why was the trailer making a homage to Majora's mask,wind waker and twilight princess? i sort of think the cell shaded style look pretty peculiar on some spots.

Well during an interview with the main producer of the game he explained that the art style was supposed to include both a style between games like Majora's Mask and a small cartoonish looking style that Wind Waker had presented. Speaking of past Zelda games I've been playing through them to get me more hyped up for Skyward Sword. Sadly I don't think I'll be getting this game until Christmas time.
