anyone saw the trailer for Skyward Sword? I was quite disappointed actually.. not as epic as Twilight Princess last time.. and the graphics looks ugly.. but the MotionPlus control looks good though

i think the emphasis on the gameplay then the graphics

i don't expect gameplay actually.. expecting some kind of cinematic trailer.. well anyway, if got gameplay means the game will probably be able to release this year!

according to conference, it's state to release next year.....

So, Skyward Sword bundled with Motion Plus? Aiseh...

At last a new and truly LOZ game on Wii. The gameplay using motionplus and the graphics are bright and colourful. I love Link's enhanced and new arsenal of weapons.

don't 4get... this is E3... normally what is shown are not finished product.

Yes, the graphic isn't as impressive as TP. But let's see when it's released in full!

This is why I need a Wii D:

for me i'll prefer game play over graphic...
Didn't see any innovation or anything new in the trailer tho... except for the use of WM+

and for graphic, i would prefer cell-shaded graphic, as I know the limits of Wii

I stand with Grey on this.

i also prefer better gameplay and story line over the graphic.
THat's why i still like the old RPG like Zelda, Chrono Triger, Secrete of Mana, etc.

The gameplay is almost finished developing, the graphic part still in polish...no need to b so rush, the game will release next year, bro...

My Webpage!

Skyward Sword better bundle with Wii Remote Plus....motionplus getting old!

Agreed. And i think they need to use Wii Remote Plus from now on. Save on space costs.

New trailer fresh from GDC 2011

hoping this will not be the last AAA titles for the wii coz i just bought a wii

wii AAA titles is very few indeed..it will come only once or twice a year

agree but i got a feeling that this year will be more with pikmin 3,rhythm heaven and maybe DQX (hopefully)

if only they had released this game a bit earlier..I wanna buy it so bad (but US version la) and wanna get the bundle with wiimote plus and zelda soundtrack..

A 10!!!!!!

How come kyo is not hypening this up??

Because I only got 7 units for bundle wii remote and 5 copies only for the normal one.



Will contact someone I think who can help very soon.

Instead of midnight launch for Skyward Sword,
Kyo is going to have an early morning launch together with his morning "Skyward Sword"

DAMMIT.

show Kyo's your own Skyward Sword to get extra discount during the early morning launch!!!
each longer inch than Kyo's will entitle you for an extra 10% discount!!

oy oy. OT kaw kaw edy weyh!

My legend of zelda skyward gonna instock TMR !!!!

How's the growth system for this LoZ? I remember reading somewhere it will have levelling system instead of upgrade items many months ago..

the skyward sword will show tremendous growth in the morning...and sometimes when zelda is close by.

shocking to see Gamespot only give 7.5 to this game
http://asia.gamespot.com/the-legend-of-zel...ws/platform/wii

but IGN give it 10/10

ayam excited. *zelda theme song playing*

Honestly, I don't even know which one is the theme song

The classic opening song? Like in every Zelda also got that 1? If not mistaken the 1 that I always remember is the one that I borrow from my friend last time play on GB. Not A Link to the Past. That story is to collect the music instrument in 5 dungeon then unlock the last dungeon. That is the only game that I learn that you can hook on the chicken to cross a longkang LOL.

and yet...ppl are always saying that IGN is only COD fanboys

Zelda theme song is the song they played during Sony Msia official ps3 launch

Btw, I've stop reading gamespot review years ago.
Mostly are ninty haters there

name of that game would be Link's Awakening ? the enhanced version of it on GB Color was excellent !

ya i think is that 1. epic title. that is the first zelda game if not mistaken that i really hook up on each zelda title. but still not keen on playing a link to the past. dunno why. then from gba was solid also. until recent ds version that i not really like. the ship 1 still ok. but the train 1 not really like. so i am now looking for gc zelda and try my luck on n64 also. still searching.

btw is every zelda game is the same team make?

I think the YouTube of the launch video is still out there.
And Sony MY blames the organiser.

the game looks super tempting. shud i buy a Wii now just for this game and SMG2? hmmm.... confuseddddd..

If you have money to spare then why not?

i am not very rich to splurge.. dats y im tinkin shud i wait for WiiU or just get a wii..

perhaps a 3DS should give u the same edge too

Then buy it if you think it's worth it. I wouldn't if I were you since I'm no Nintendo fan

hmm..not really into handhelds. i was tinkin of the ps3 but the games are not really appealing. i grew up playin NES, SNES and N64. so i have this thing for nintendo classics. now im contemplatin shud i buy a 5yr old tech (wii) wen its PLC is almost at d end? lolz.

i bet u kno d feeling of playin last gen games on current gen console eg. playin ps2 games on ps3. the feeling just aint d same. haha. those are some of my reasons affecting my decision. and the wii is not all that cheap. the price didnt really drop.

True, that's why I still haven't bought an US Wii..

Is a prequel to OoT? I thought is TP? Then you mean I need to play OoT then only can buy this game to play?

Err, sorry to ask, is there actually any connection between those many LoZ? I always thought every one has its own unique world

Itulah. I just wanna check/confirm if got OST on the first batch of the game then I bump to here.

Just checked wiki, apparently there are connections between all LoZ, but really they conveniently (and lamely) put together rather than actual connection.

Just say this is prequel, that happened 100 years later, the other is a parallel world blah blah blah.

according to Nintendo, Skyward Sword takes place at the very beginning of the zelda timeline.

it will be the prequel to all the other games covering the origins of the Master Sword and how Hyrule came about itself !

That's why I said conveniently put together, or either that they are really terrible at story telling since I'm certain I'm not the only one who couldn't find those connections other than being told outside the game.

Not bashing the series, just a thought

an informative and pretty comprehensive review (in my opinion)

HE MAN!!!

I think this can solve your problems with the timeline.

i tak boleh terima...
NOOOO!

Today lepak at sg, saw this bundle set in lot of game shop, sgd105...price ok kah?

honestly yeah..they should just call it Final Story / fantasy / adventure coz there is no connection whatsoever to the timeline...if they just said each story is stand alone it would just be easier...coz most often in the story..Link n Zelda is always a new character in somewhat a diff setting/town.

Like in Skyward Sword..Zelda is anak pengetua sekolah...in Twilight princess, well she is not. How can she be a separate entity if its the same story? and Link...always started off not as a warrior / knight whatsoever

japanese developers always get over-creative when creating prequel/sequel games...always...

so okay woh!! gangster price

it's about time ninty explore their love story in details

btw, slow starting game, as usual for most of zelda series

only got me sword after 1/2 hour game play

and only after 1 & 1/2 hour into the game, the real fun just started, off to save Zelda again

mahal liao

no free gift i guess

another one on the ever confusing zelda timeline by the friendly neighbourhood AVGN (kiddies warning: some adult language included, just like any other AVGN vids). this was done a few years years back but still as entertaining

i'm just saying..just in case u tot kyo left u out

ya lo. slim chance right? he already mentioned got a few only. summore din say who is on the preorder list. Haih.

can't believe i'm already 26 hours into the adventure and i just started on Saturday !

great games just play yesterday and man the boss in the forest is hard to fight and really use the motion plus controller fully...this yet another masterpiece for zelda games....very creative and puzzle got me thinking quite a while to solved in the first stage forest....

then get ready to be amazed even further (or perhaps more head scratching) when u reach the 5th "dungeon" ...

also i hate the spider in the forest god damn tricky to kill but now is easy since i got the bug item hehe..so far this games and the new kirby are nice to play as i already long time no touch my wii as busy ps3 online, so now i put aside my ps3 to play these 2 wii games..

don't forget they also have rayman on the wii too

Attached thumbnail(s)

hope u find ur nunchuk

hi guys..just wanna say..tis game is awesome..

anyway for those who thinks that there is no timeline just wanna say that Miyamoto san and Aonuma san says there is a thick detail book telling all the timeline.

and they said that each game is created with the timeline in mind. so every game is connected. Only Aonuma and Miyamoto (few important Zelda dev) have seen this. Miyamoto and Aonuma had the luxury of choosing which part of the legend that the would like to tell in each game..(there may have been some retcon to adapt to the future games but the idea is still there). Most of the inconsistency may cause by the mistranslation to english version.

finally here is one great timeline structure that may lead to a conclusion and confusion cleared.

http://zeldatimeline.com/

yeah but still...a good story teller can make everybody understand the basic timeline without having to rely on a GUIDE BOOK

I understand that u'd probably need a guide book for strategies etc..but just to understand a timeline? either they are so smart..or probably they just go to a meeting somewhere and try to make sense of it all.

no..you are getting it wrong.

story was never the main intention for zelda creation.

Miyamoto san tell this. He doesnt freaking care about the story. He just want to create gameplay.

What he meant by the story guide book is that, the gameplay element will involve a certain story element which is related to a specific timeline.

the guide book was never meant for us (gamers) but for his reference on what element should the next zelda be about..

He doesnt mind us not understanding the story line..

and like i said before, the timeline is for fans who like these elements of where and when the game would took place in the next zelda.

check out the link.

+1

well put, exactly my thoughts but was never able to explain it like that

i'm a fan of Gon Freaks now

His OTHER HUGE MEGA GAME is also like that what.

Because if you were to put those games in a storyline, you might as well say they happen in a short span of a year for both Mario and Link to be saving both peach and Zelda respectively.

In a way, the story the fits the game it is in. Anyone can come and say that you've been playing the same old stuff for the past 25 and 26 years.

And you can still reply to them you're not bored of it at all.

well, opinions are what they are ... so definitely everyone has their say.

but when you see Skyward Sword being described like how it is supposed to be "Skyrim Sword" ... dunno what else to say ...

Its not supposed to be that way.

But imagine if you combine it both. Or the fact that an Elder Scrolls game has motion control.

WOOO!!!! That'd be fun really.

the problem with Skyrim is that,i felt the game has no weight..i dont know how to define this, but it feels light.

but Zelda game (not SS cause yet to play), you can feel the weight. its like when you move link around, compare to moving your character in skyrim, moving link feels more satisfying ( you could say Zelda is more polish). It feels heavier with link as if the game was imbued with a soul.haha

not to say Skyrim sux but, you know...

perhaps u don't understand what i meant...i just said from the very beginning, they could say it upfront..there's no direct link to the story line between games and each adventure is a new one. I myself not seeking for a relation of storyline/continuity between zelda games, i just treat each story like i treat all FF games..the only diff is, zelda games always repeat the names of its main characters.

That is because Miyamoto always uses the freshest interns for his pagan ritualistic sacrifices. And lots too.

hmm you i think you are thinking it wrongly. There is a reason why the names of the main characters are the same and it seems that rumors saying that LOZ:SS will tell you the reason why.

Did you check out the link that i gave? that should gave you a certain idea.

there is a trend showing that, each Link will have 2 game.

and Each first born girl for the royal family will be named Zelda.

Not to mention when zelda games revolve around fate and destiny of 2 ppl. Zelda & Link, (and Gannon in some cases)

i think you are really taking the names lightly. there is a reason why the names repeating.

on another side note.

there are Zelda games that are missing of the main character that always around.

for example : Link's awakening was without any zelda, Majora Mask as well. oracle series(iirc)

so all in all, Zelda world is the same world since the beggining of the game, the question now, which game came first.

its all about the reincarnation of link and zelda (mostly link).

and to be honest, actually on 2 names are repeating, which is Link and Zelda, and considering the game name is Zelda, the only name that repeats is Link, also worth mentioning that Link name can be rename to anything else.

there you go, no names are repeated from one game to another.

it's not a rumour, the reason will become apparent in this game ...

about 2hrs (depending on person i guess) into the game there will be a scene which will surely resonate with all Zelda fans.

oh well, i think everyone should play the game 1st then see if their opinion will change *LOL*
