Legend of Zelda The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword - NO SPOILERS, USE THE SPOILER THREAD PLEASE

[Luigitoilet]

Don't like the sound of the save system.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

No real time day/night? I get it turns to day by sleeping at night, but how does it turn to night?

 

[Mr. Johan]

All that adventuring's gotta wear Link out. Guess he just takes naps whenever he wants.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

Gannon banned? so he is confirmed to not being in it? Lol. Sorry haven't been reading much of the news.

 

[ZIO]

The save system will probably work into the game mechanics and not be so hard to work with - Like FF13 save point (Those things are on the way every five minutes of gameplay just about) and they probably added it to also prevent game ending glitches like TP had.

There was a glitch before a certain point that if you did, and turned the game off and played at a later point, you'd never be able to progress. I think i remember this one too - it was some point during the hyrule castle bit.

Yeah, they said Ganon won't be present in SS.

but they might be lying :O

 

[Orboknown]

it wouldnt surprise me to have ganon show up outta nowhere

 

[ZIO]

Well, one of the story plots pointed out recently was Ghriham(spelling?) goal. That being

Spoiler

him trying to revive his master

.


So I'm not going to hold the Nintendo to their claims that Ganon or ganondorf isn't going to show up.

 

[escro]

Isnt ganon the same dude as ganondorf

 

[GwJ]

They're the same being but have different physical representations.

 

[escro]

Cool.
So where can i preorder the gold wiimote bundle? I doubt ill make it to the stores on the release date before they get sold out.

I hope that turns out to be

Majora

. Would be cool what with Ghirahim's Gilded Sword color scheme and all.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

It's the happy mask salesman. He's finally going to show his true intentions

 

[GwJ]

Majora

I don't know why people keep mentioning the Gilded Sword. It had absolutely NO importance in the game other than a direct upgrade. It would make more sense if he looked like something we needed to use.

 

[Spire]

I am unphased by the recent spoilers. I loved the day/night system in MM, was indifferent to it in WW/TP, and hated it in OoT. This looks to be totally new for the series, and I am okay with it. Something about giving Link's sleeping a new purpose is attractive; it subtly reads into the expansive, renewing intent of the developers. Gaming nuances can be reprogrammed to serve new purposes and there's no problem with that—so long as they aren't game-breaking.

 

[escro]

I dont like the save system, if it's to be the same as MM.
Too many times i had to redo whole dungeons because the game crashed so i couldnt go back to prev save point because well, id already loaded it.
The whole idea of link having to take naps could be nasty unless its done quickly and smoothly, like cutscence style or something.

 

[kupo15]

who knows. Maybe you can save at a statue and keep your progress instead of wiping out your progress after you loaded it. I don't think this game will also have a song of time-esq saving feature as well soo. And this game is on CD so you don't have to worry about crashing.

 

[escro]

Either way, even if it gets **** reviews/hate for any reason which is def not gunna happen, im still gunna go buy it
So anyone kind enough to tell me where to preorder the gold wiimote bundle edition from?

 

[Luigitoilet]

I don't know why people keep mentioning the Gilded Sword. It had absolutely NO importance in the game other than a direct upgrade. It would make more sense if he looked like something we needed to use.

WHo cares? Ghirahim's design is still the same exact thing as the Gilded Sword down to the jewel. It's not like Nintendo has ever retconned things before, right? Furthermore, the plot of SS seems to be directly dealing with beings that also serve as swords. And also, they said that we would be returning to a land that wasn't Hyrule. It's kinda dumb to just assume that callback wasn't intentional just because the sword wasn't that important to the plot of Majora's Mask. Like whenever has Nintendo really cared about continuity and narrative?

 

[escro]

Btw how is s direct upgrade not needed
Biggoron sword in OoT ftw

 

[GwJ]

It's not needed because it's not needed. I've never finished the Biggoron quest before yet I've beaten the game.

 

[ZIO]

It's not needed. Of course.

It is a nice addition, though.

 

[Deleted member]

Just saw a more recent trailer of Link and Zelda.

I'm really liking the chemistry the two have in this game. Very unlike Twilight Princess, where Link seemed to only care about Midna.

 

[Luigitoilet]

and also, SS takes place in (presumably) a different universe than MM anyways. The fact that the gilded sword has a humble genesis in Termina doesn't really mean anything for Hyrule, especially a vastly different Hyrule hundreds of years earlier. People are really arguing that there is nothing to Ghirahim's visual design?

I would not think so much of it if the other major new character, Fi, wasn't a humanoid representation of the Skyward Sword.

Of course, the connection could be purely visual, if it even turns out that Ghirahim is even a sword-person-thing at all. I'm just saying the visual similarities between him and the gilded sword could not have been unintentional is all.

 

[escro]

let's hope that there's a character representation of ALL the swords in the Zelda games so far...

deku, biggoron, master, skyward, gilded, .....

dunno if this is plausible at all, but it'd be awesome if it were to be true

 

[Luigitoilet]

that would be hella swords!

 

[escro]

how many swords are there anyway?
the ones i listed there are all the ones i know cuz i havent played all of the games so i dunno if there were any new swords worth mentioning

 

[Luigitoilet]

http://zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Swords

i dunno, there may be more. still a lot of swords.

 

[Orboknown]

that is really a ****load of swords 0.o

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

I will commit a MURDER for this fuggin game

 

[Luigitoilet]

I seriously don't think I've been THIS excited for Zelda since 1997.

 

[Ecks]

I just preordered this game. I'm soo looking forward to getting my hands on it! And thank god the special edition comes with a Mplus controller. I never bought that thing. XD

 

[StealthyGunnar]

So who thinks this is going to be the BEST zelda game yet?

 

[escro]

no **** it will be.
IMO i prefer the twilight princess art style, but im sure the new impressionist style of skyward sword will grow on me and ill love it in no time
but who cares, it's friken zelda!

 

[etecoon]

this looks like it will be the best zelda game yet in conceptual terms, I'm still very cautious with any optimism though because I've always hated wii controls and that can always potentially ruin a game for me

 

[Luigitoilet]

I've yet to play a motionplus game. I really hope the controls work out and are as smooth and intuitive as some of the demos look like. I think that is what most people will be split on.

This.

But even then, there're so many options! Did you guys see the trailer where, instead of cutting the enemies shield, Link uses it to JUMP OVER THE ENEMY?
That. Is. Amazing.

This. I was able to get through TP Wii but the GC version was so much better. I'm hoping that SS will feel somewhere inbetween the at least with the motion+

 

[MuraRengan]

This game has so much potential. I've never been able to look at a Zelda and think that it could surpass OoT until now. SS is going to be amazing, plus I'm gonna get to play it with a girl I met recently.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

It will make her so hot for you
