Alright, if you’re like me, or like many other people here at ZU, you loved seeing the trailer for the brand-spanking-new Zelda game, Skyward Sword, at E3 2010.  Now, just the fact that there was any trailer for a new Zelda game was enough for most people – but we think that the trailer was pretty well put together, too.  And we’re not alone in that thinking.

Toby Turner, or Tobuscus as he’s called on youtube, is famous for his “literal” interpretations of various film and game trailers. And now he’s taken on the Skyward Sword trailer in his latest video.

Watch it above, then find more of these videos at his channel here, and lyrics for the video after the jump!

LYRICS:

Foggy, cloudy horse,
Angry spiky heart,
Floaty boat, and a wolf.
Run into the light.
Where a man in a skirt and
tights is standing.
And he pulls out his sword,
Then slowly spins it around, and
FLEX!

Kill Natives, and plants.
Turn them into ash.
Purple dust, sword lights up!
More Natives, and plants, and Natives
They all look the same.
That’s racist!

Scorpion with eyeballs in it’s claws.
Use your shield to deflect an acorn
Use a vine to swing across.
Climb the plant wall,
Confuse the eyeball

Bow and arrow, shoot it at a leaf.
And a bob-omb,
And someone’s floating heart.

Aim a grapple claw
at the Audience.
Make it grab stuff, and explode!
Goodbye grapple claw.

Roll a flashing plant
Under a happy tree.
Now it’s a dead tree.
Slingshots make bats disappear!

Use a whip to tear out people’s hearts.
Then eat them.
Stab a scorpion in the eye-claw!

End a skeleton,
And a scorpion,
And another skeleton.

Swan dive into the logo!
