From something awful

Quote
-Skyloft is the "hub" and is like WW's Great Sea, but with flying
-Hyrule is one giant dungeon, and the actual temples are like dungeons-within-dungeons
-Giant birds replace the horse/boat
-You will be required to revisit dungeons you've already beaten, a la Metroid
-Items will be upgradeable, but you'll have to find the necessary materials
-Dungeons have warp points like the cauldrons in WW, but they warp you back to Skyloft
-Zelda is a Saria/Malon/Ilia-type character and does not start the game as royalty
-There is orchestrated music, and it's awesome

Looks cool.  This needs Motionplus, doesn't it?

Link's face looks very girly in some shots.  They should man him up just a bit.

Why is back tracking considered a positive? Excuse me if I don't feel like wasting half an hour to pick up some item.

It implies artificial non-linear gameplay.  I suppose some folks see that as still being superior to the strictly linear approach.

I don't mind backtracking if it's interesting like in Metroid Prime.  Seeing something you can't get and coming back for it with new abilities can be enjoyable.

I like the style.  If she had red hair, she'd look Irish.  Probably gets bad sunburn too.  Ima write some fanfiction.

The comparison to old art is a weird justification for why it's not bad or something like that on gaf.  Because nothing else in this game looks like old art.  Link's nose is not a penis.


edit: I wasn't joking earlier about liking the David Bowie antagonist.  I want a nightmare level where you have to waggle to clench Link's butthole.

Man, I was so looking forward to masturbating to Zelda's ingame model but now I gue...  Oh wait this line of discussion is STOOPID.  Skippable cutscenes!  Alternate stealth dimensions!  Dungeons within dungeons!  The overworld is a dungeon!  FLIGHT!  Better collectibles and rewards!  Every enemy is like a mini punchout character! SKIPPABLE CUTSCENES!  Stop nitpicking.

What's so special about the bird flying? It's going to be like the sailing in Windwaker, but with motionwaggle and a slight z axis of movement added

So this is Zelda Skies of Arcadia then? I suppose I'm up for that. Just fucking release it already,  it's the same thing ad infitium so the delays are baffling.

The fact that you can jump from the bird at any moment and land in a second "underworld" overworld?

The problem with final fantasy is they expect me to take effeminate ladymen seriously as threats.  This villians contrast in that respect actually seems to work.

Irish redheads :drool

I am warming up a bit more to the style of the game now, seems like it's got some of that Ghibli whimsy in it that I love so much. As long as the level/world map design is on point (since that's what Zelda is always about - not the combat, not the story), I'm good.

Why is all the media for this game so boring? Compare OoT 3ds official trailer to the Skyward Sword official trailer. Boresville.

only thing I've read and dislike is the bird flying is handled like in Wii Sports Resort  :-\

I'm into the sword combat and aiming with the bow and stuff like that using motion controls because those actions required the increased fidelity of motion controls.  If anything, flying with motion controls is a lot more limiting.  Flying the plane in Pilotwings is better than in WSR...better is relative here.

i was going to come here and say that if someone is cussing zelda that's a good thing but the article mainly cuss about motion controls so i have to change my policy
