Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword
A prequel to Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask and just about every other main series game, set to be released sometime this year, no real confirmed date, but likely Christmas time. We've talked about it here and there, but it deserves it's own thread. All in all, looks very promising. Much more refined Wii controls, instead of the "tacked-on" controls of Twilight Princess, and a realisticly-proportioned but cel-shaded style, similar to Wind Waker. I'm pretty pumped, how about you?

The main villain looks like a villain side kick... he must be pretty bad@ss to go about looking like that. Man, I look forward for duels with Darknuts...

Re: Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword
My username is derived from Twilight Princess. My avatar has been some sort of Skyward Sword concept art for about two years. I've been following this game since before it was officially announced. So to answer your silly question...
OF COURSE I'M FRIKIN EXCITED!

Re: Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword
I've always loved the console zelda games. I've never actually beaten OoT, I dunno why, but I've beaten Majora's Mask and it was amazing, then I beat Windwaker 3 times. I loved windwaker, and to see that they're using a windwaker art style makes me excited. I'm not sure I'd like seeing the wiimote on the screen all the time, hopefully that's just for demo purposes.

Re: Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword
One of the producers has stated that the graphics style is a homage to Impressionist works. Seeing how that's my favorite type of art work, and the fact it gives backstory to OoT, I'm especially excited for this game.

I just remembered something that could ruin the game if it appears;

Almost a week left! Glad to once again see the main title actually have more relevance to the game!

Re: Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword
My younger brother was able to convince my parents to pre-order it. Seeing how I'm currently in college, I'll probably only get to play it over Thanksgiving Break before winter session kicks in.

This.Game.Is.Amazing.
The new sword mechanics is very fun! The combat has become very dynamic and I don't think it'll get boring anytime soon. I'm currently at the second dungeon.

Re: Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword
That's exciting to hear. I'm going to have to wait to get it for now. I don't have the time for a zelda game at the moment. But glad to see you're enjoying it.

Re: Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword
I'm going to try to play as much of it as I can over Thanksgiving Break. After OoT, it's my favorite one so far.

Re: Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword
So far so good. The enemies is this game are much harder to defeat than in the past. Skulltulas are the worst.
And what is it with transvestite villains in video games? It's kind of a cliche, now.

Major Glitch!
There have been several reports of a game ending glitch, that I have been an unfortunate victim of.

Re: Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword
The glitch has been confirmed by Nintendo to be caused by talking to Golo (a Goron) in Lanayru Desert before completing the two other parts of the branching quest but after finishing a quest for a plot relevant character (you'll know who it is when you get there).
Avoid speaking to him and continue on with the other parts of the branching quest if you accidentally start in Lanayru Desert. If you haven't gotten to this quest yet, save Lanayru for last to avoid this altogether when you do get there.
It is likely that the 1.1 print of the game will not have this problem. If you happen to get the game and see this message next year, your game probably has been fixed and you shouldn't worry about it. It's such a shame that Nintendo can't patch games via WiFi yet. Hopefully that changes with the Wii U.
