Skyward Sword General Discussion V.2

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward sword


Discuss Skyward Sword here.
Beware of spoilers.


Official trailer.



The story

Skyward Sword is, indeed, the very first Zelda – before Ocarina of Time. In Skyward Sword, Link is a young boy born into a land above the clouds, called Skyloft. Of course, there’s a land beneath the clouds, but Link is told that it is ruled by “evil forces.”
....

We are looking at a 2011 release date.


Feel free to repost from the old thread.

All the meters in the gameplay trailer were running meters. Just wanted to clear that up.

@Fulcon: The HUD you see was made specifically for E3 demos. The release version will have a much different HUD. Also, in the release version you'll be able to turn off the HUD completely if you like.

I'm blown away to be honest. Everything that I've read, the inclusion of Goldensun DS, made this E3 ridiculous.

I just tried to play another video game and I'm completely underwhelmed. I'm just too excited for Skyward Sword.

I think this is going to be ground breaking.

At E3 we're throwing a lot of things at you at once, and we made something for people to quickly understand. We've had HUD in past Zelda games, and you've always had the option to turn it off with a button.

I am under the impression it was just for the demo. Just my thoughts.

At least a 6 month wait. I just know it will be released even later in Australia as well. >.<

I am really pleased with the new fuctions of the bombs really. In the other games you had to guess where you throw them and at what angle. It really looks like you can use those far better than before.

I'm expecting a Summer release. Anyone else?

Ugh, I hope it's earlier than next Summer.. Damn delays.

school years are getting faster and faster for me. this one should fly by, and then TEH FLYING SWORD LADIES

Expecting it around the same time Galaxy 2 was released, but a year later.

Just in time for mah birthday

Ya man I hate to have to deal with another year... oh wait..... I'M NOT IN SCHOOL HA SUX 4 U SIR!!!

I really hope it doesn't have a Summer release, I try my hardest to stay away from video games during the Summer (except e3 of course). The holiday is an ideal time, plenty of time off school and at least a couple of days off of work.

I think that February of 2011 would be awesome, simply because it would celebrate the 25th anniversary of the franchise.

just in time to get a preorder for my birthday. lol


edit: didn't think of the whole 25th anniversary thing. a feb. 2011 release makes a lot of sense right now.

Thanks,

Anyways, I don;t care about the release date. I'm sure it will be Q1 or Q2 2011.

What I'm more stoaked about is the music, which is going to be fully orchestrated. It's about time.

I'm curious as to whether or not those old TP sound effects will remain (bring back more video-gamey sounds, please)... :/

I actually am hoping for an early 2011 release, but I don't really care. Delays mean they aren't just throwing it at us unfinnished.

I agree, but I could've sworn that Link has a different voice in this game...
Maybe I'm imagining it, the deepness of TP Link with the completely inappropriate and completely awesome screams that OoT Link made famous.

i'm kinda dissapointed there isn't any more rolling.

"heyah! huh! hah! hee! ugh! umm! heyah! huh!"

I thought Link could roll by shaking the nun-chuck while dashing.

You know what'd be cool? If rupees replaced the magic bar. That's probably why the rupee count is right under the hearts.
