I second this. I was really looking forward to this game until I heard it was strictly motion controlled. I really don't wanna pay essentially 80 dollars for a game (including the motion plus) only to be frustrated that the motion controls are shoddy like I know they will be. Nintendo really needs to move away from these stupid gimmicks.KefkaCultist said:
Zelda: Skyward Sword Trailer Introduces Enigmatic Foe

Those graphics are freaking weird. I've never seen such detail put into cell shading before... it kinda makes me feel a little ill.
I also think nintendo are putting too much focus on the attacking in the game, it was mind numbingly irritating in the demo and if the entire game is set on that gimmick, i'll either get sick of it or get used to it, not sure just yet.
Even so, I'm saving up money to pre-order the bastard and I can't wait to actually play it, i've been waiting for a new zelda forever.

looks quite cartoony. not that thats bad, its just I really liked the darkness that was expressed through twilight princess's style.
While it does look at a decent game, I can't help but think "where are we going with this"? I mean, it does look like a good game, but you could probably mix scenes from older games in with this one and I couldn't tell the difference. Well, except for the gigantic picture of a WiiMote that takes up half the screen.
Yeah a new direction maybe good, if it weren't for the previous times it went a new direction and ass-f**ked themselves into the grave when nintendo sold the right to the rights to the series to Phillips.About To Crash said:
Trust your fellow nintendo-nerds that the companies games especially Zelda are perfect and we should just trust nintendo, as long as they don't get Team Ninja to make the game (or make another Twilight Princess.)
GNEH! What the hell... I've seen better looking games on the Nintendo 64...Scrumpmonkey said:It all looks too bright and flat, it's a bit too 'animal corssing meets ratchet and clank' for my liking except it lacks to stlyised chops both of those games have. The Wii is a console that benefits massively from a stlyised approach (see; Okami, Red Steel 2, Epic Yarn etc) and the design needs to be stepped up in order to compensate for the technical shortfalls of the system.Charli said:
The visuals are bafflingly bright and washed out, it looks like a PS2 spyro game. Take a look;
Compared to the more realisitc, clean and higher contrast style of "Twilight Princess" it looks frankly a mess. There is just so much more they could do with it.
-twitch- NOOOOOOOOO! not tingle!Bobipine said:I don't think so. I mean, all the characters didn't really change all that much among the games, they changed to fit the style, but still same basics, so a skinny white haired Ganon doesn't quite follow the usually large red haired Ganon.Onyx Oblivion said:
I'd actually tend more to believe this one, mostly because I've felt Twilight Princess to be so similar to OoT (the sages story, the Gerudo dessert kept thing reminded me a lot of the forest temple, and the giant spider... don't tell me it's different than Queen Gohmna that's actually the first reflexes of what to do I got seeing that boss) and Majora Mask's the sequel of Oot (mostly). I doubt we'll be seeing masks or music mechanic again though, sadly.Jabberwock xeno said:He's the gilded sword personified, like how the girl is the master sword.
Edit, is it me, but the walls behing "it" also looks like Gills?
Oh no.... if it really is some kind of Majora mask... that means... THAT MEANS..... TINGLE
Then again MM is my favourite Zelda ga.... TINGLE! >.<

Yeah, I corrected myself after, I didn't remember the word's meaning correctly.OctalLord said:
I am wondering what might happen if Tingle is actually in that game, would he just look the same, or had a redesign probably for the worst (hard to believe, but who knows)
hmm... 1 video, with 300 views, 2 comments, and uploaded by a guy who's other videos are of him modding zelda games?
Do we have a more reliable source?

Eh... as if the lore and timelines weren't screwed up enough already Nintendo are rehashing Link's origins? I'm going to grumble and whine and buy it and play it anyway so what's the point.
I doubt the white haired guy is Vaati. Vaati's eyes are red and his hair is purple. Unless it's a complete re-imagining. I also doubt it's Ganondorf. Skyward Sword is set to be before OoT chronologically and Ganondorf's villain career started in OoT.

I hate this art style, it's really driving me nuts.
Not because I want Zelda to go as drimdark as possible like he did at times in Twilight Princess, just because I want an actual fucking art-style. I loved Wind Waker's look, but that's because Wind Waker used the cell shaded style to bring more atmosphere and emotion to the world around it, this just looks like nintendo's gotten lazy.

I know yous said it's your own personal Legend, and power to you, but that is directly contradicted in game. Like, third line said. "Link...you've never been to Hyrule, have you?"ZeroMachine said:
Nope. Link creates the Four Sword to fight Vaati in The Minish Cap. He COULD be the Gilded Sword, but that means that the Guilded Sword is certainly not the Four Sword.Lrbearclaw said:
Actually, come to think of it, Vaati cannot even be the Gilded Sword unless he is transformed later, since, as of Minish Cap, we have a definitive origin for him.
Ganon was the villain in The Legend of Zelda. He's always been in the games. I think you're thinking of Ganondorf.Lrbearclaw said:
On a side note, Ganondorf still holds the #1 place on my list of most badass antagonists ^^
Meh.. I'm probably going to pass on this title, the mixed art style looks kind of awkward and this trailer didn't really convince me that the game is going to do anything it hasn't done already. I just can't wait for Ocarina of Time 3D... Yes, I'm a sucker, but I just love that game.
