Legend of Zelda - Skyward Sword

wii haters can skip this thread, anyone else looking forward to a new Zelda? It's my fav game series so I'm going full tilt special edition w the gold controller. Reviews are stellar, and will probly be the best wii game ever. can't wait for Sunday!

it's for the wii? what happened to the new Nintendo console?

Wii-U won't be out til next year I think I'm looking forward to Skyward Sword. I've heard really great things about it! I never finished TP though... Got close to the end but stopped caring.

it got super good reviews and wii is the only system i have.

to be honest i'd rather be playing skyrim or battlefield 3 but i can't. I'm sure that the Skyward Sword will be the better game in an objective sense, but I still want to play something really open ended.

didn't really like any zelda since lttp. sorry.

if you never played this, you never played zelda. this is the peak of the genre, imo.

looking forward to it.

currently suck in skyrim so i might leave it for christmas. maybe.

what i am looking forward to is >>>SUPER MARIO 3D LAND<<<

If it wasn't for Skyrim, I would probably have buyed this game by now.

Probs gonna pick this badboy up today. I fuckin' love Zelda. Agreed Link To The Past is my favourite too, but Link's Awakening is also the bomb

I just acquired this game. Looking forward to playing through! Graphics are decent for the Wii, but I'm not sure about the responsiveness of the Wii Plus. It seems like I have to move the controller too much to reach the edges/corners of the screen.

Ocarina of Time is the one for me.... can't say I really got into Link to the Past that much...

this game is amazing.

i feel like nintendo really struck gold with this game. it almost feels like the first wii game to successfully employ motion controls in a fun way that is actually integrated deeply into the gameplay. killing something as something as a plant is now a sheer joy,... every time. :)

plus, the audio and visuals are really incredibly impressive. excellent design to the game.

overall, incredibly impressed with this game.

Am I alone in saying that the original Zelda is the only game in the series I've completed?

this game looks like a turd on wheels

ill wait for the HD zelda that u have to point the small screen at the big screen to be able to play LOL not

oh my god.

i'm up to the gay windmill bullshit after the third temple.

this stuff is painful, and the first bit of gameplay since that the slow paced intro to interrupt the fun gameplay. horrible.

lol what u just said u loved it and now u hate it what the

haha yes.

i've been loving it up until the point : \ oh well, i've passed that boring bit and hopefully back on track.

one thing i've noticed about the visuals. having played a bit of 3DS (ocarina of time 3d, in particular) i can't help but get the feeling this game was made with 3D in mind. alot of lense flares and beaming lights. the visual layout of alot of the scenes and levels just makes me think nintendo were >Secretly< testing the game in 3D. maybe i crazy. interesting to see if anyone else can agree : o

seeing these games like this makes me sad, as the Wii really would have done so much better if it was in HD like the competing consoles:

I wonder what kind of computer you need to run the Dolphin emulator smoothly?

Oh, and for me personally, The Wind Waker was the best Zelda game ever. The graphic style is what every game in the series should be remade in, especially the very first game.

Agreed. The art style is perfect, it's just that damn 480p. I'll still enjoy it though.

there's way too much of Basil Exposition in the beginning, but once on the quest it's a blast. still getting used to the fact i can't just hit A to dispatch enemies when my arms get tired.

I share this opinion as well. the graphics, art style, writing... I think I prefer it because I enjoy the upbeat atmosphere to the darker feel of the other entries in the series.

When I was playing last night I noticed some persons Loftwing had blue/red edged wings and I totally thought it looked like it could have been a 3D image if I had the glasses.

i'm playing majora's mask right now. it has some magic of ocarina of time but it's different, i can't really rate it though until i'm finished playing it

aww man, don't tell me I have to buy a Wii again.. :(

yeah well i hear they are quite cheap now
