Zelda: Skyward Sword - Official Thread

Ok, I'm also trying to stay spoiler-free here, but that 10/10 from Edge has got me excited.
Unless I already was excited... I'm taking the day off from work on November 18! I couldn't stand wait a whole day.

I love seeing members getting excited for a Nintendo release. It doesn't happen that often these days.

I really want to stay spoiler free, I mean, there's a month before the release of the game and I probably won't be playing it until Christmas (since I'm at Uni and haven't taken my Wii with me).

The game's looking great though and I'm glad it's been getting good reviews so far. I'm really tempted to go and buy Edge magazine just to read the review.

That's ridiculous. If they haven't played it enough to give it a definitive review, they shouldn't write 'half a review' and continue it next month.

South Korean Boxart.

Me like.

My favourite trailer...

For those of you who want to read the edge (10) review

Nintendo should really release this on DVD. Did you see any professional cameras filming it Squid?

It'd be a shame that they put so much effort into it and only so many got to see it. Sure, the experience won't be the same as actually being there, but to not see it at all I feel like I've missed out on a once in a lifetime opportunity.

At least put it on CD even, would be better than nothing. I know we get a CD with Skyward Sword, but I'm not sure if that's got recordings from this concert. I just presumed it'd be a selection of the tracks that would be played at the concerts.

Well they were filming it, whether they sell it or distribute somehow is anyone's guess though.

I've got some Wind Waker stuff also. I'll upload it later.

Thanks Squid, much appreciated.

I'm just glad to hear the London audience were more respectful than the Los Angeles one. I heard they kept clapping, screaming and shouting in the middle of performances.

EDIT: In that video, the woman said "Kakariko Valley"...

Skyward Sword Limited Edition has now gone up to £49.85 on ShopTo. Glad I preordered when I did, even though it was just a couple of quid cheaper.

This is one of the best things my ears have ever heard in the 21 years I've been alive. The Great Sea part... :')

It reminds me that Nintendo will always have something magical that no other console will have. The tiresome drab, realistic and boring overdose of games on the Xbox 360 and PS3. Games like Uncharted are amazing, but they will always lack that special essence that Nintendo adds to their games.

I honestly think I'd stop playing videogames if Nintendo didn't exist. I think what we've seen on the Wii is glimpses of Nintendo at their best with the Super Mario Galaxy games and also Skyward Sword (by the sounds of things). I'm excited to see what they can achieve with the Wii U hardware. People can say they've lost their touch, but I think it's the other way around, I think a lot of people have lost their touch.

I've seen people disregard Nintendo's games just because they think they are childish. I think that is utterly pathetic. Apparently all what is cool these days are shooting people over and over for hours on end in a boring real life environment, most of the time at least.

Does anyone else want to punch the people that clapped and cheered during the middle of the song? I sure do!

I still haven't bought a copy of EDGE, I can't find one.

I visited the store where I made a reservation and I discovered I will get a Zelda cap. It's black and has a gold logo on it.

Too bad I'm not a cap-man, they don't look good on me.
