When it comes to the new villain, I think it will be alot like it was with Zant. Maybe it won't be Ganondorf that is the big baddie, but I don't think that the guy in the trailer is the big one either.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Wii)
-
-
I'm not even sure Ganondorf was even born yet in this game.
-
I don't thing that's a main villain at all, but more of some kind of rival with a goals or ideals that are different form Link. Like a reoccurring mini-boss or something. Well, that's my theory atleast.
-
Is it just me or is Link's sister kinda…ugly?
Its not Link's sister… its ZELDA. And I think she's ADORABLE. You need to watch an actual cutscene of her to see her character more.
And example: The beginning and end are cutscenes
The second scene starts from 3:14
And I actually like that Link and Zelda are a lot more "closer" in this game. Thus, making the mission of Link saving her a lot more urgent and believable…Spoilers from demo
! Also about Ghirahim (the weird villian guy), I don't think he's the main villian since in the demo video he keeps saying "we", suggesting that he's not alone and might be working in a group. So I really like the fresh idea that theres not one guy behind everything but multiple villians. Maybe "dark" sages or something.
! Its also obvious by this cutscene that Zelda is NOT kidnapped right in the beginning, but might be on the run. I was thinking that the scenes in the trailer, may have been a dream of Link's or something… hmm
I could already see how much of an origin story this game will be. From the Royal Crest, to the Master Sword AH I can't wait! -

Agreed. Like the orc thing who name I can't remember from TP.
The thing I like was it was mentioned that items would be upgradeable. Hopefully all the items will get more endgame use this time.

The other footage you showed offered a different perspective on her.
-
Zelda doesn't really look like a princess in this game, more like "the most beautiful girl in the village" (which I believe is intentional). I think that is an interesting and great change. I also like that Link and Zelda are (seemingly) much closer in this game than before.
-
If she's not a princess yet, she will be.
-
Ghirahim looks like something from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.
Any news on when this game will hit the shelves? -
Best game ever.:wub:
-
Zelda is NOT a princess in the game, but I think this game will show the creation of the Royal family. So she might be the very first princess of hyrule. Right now, I think she might be the mayor's daughter or something…
-
This topic should definately be more acive.
What do people think of the new Zelda? I love her carefree personality, she's so funny and fun. Like when she nosedived off the cliff and Link freaked out. lol Priceless!
[qimg]http://www.apforums.net/Users\SonPan\Pictures\Pictures\new gifs\cutezellink.gif[/qimg]Am I the only one who really LOVES the music?
did you see the vids yet that put the music in reverse and its zelda's lullaby
-
Yup already seen that. And I think it's genius! I'm so hyped for this game! I can't even explain it lol (if you guys can't tell already lol)
-
I've eard speculation that Zelda in this game might be a priestess, which sounds like it might be plausible
-
Yeaa that makes sense, since she's called "her holiness" by Girahim. But I'm still doubtful, cause of the way she acts lol. She's too carefree, joyful, and fun to be a priestess IMO. She doesnt fit that cliche :P
-
This game looks way too cute.
-
@Sonic:
This game looks way too cute.
It looks good and should be a good mix. That villian creeped the hell out of me when he was behind Link.
-
With that tongue? Yea… I could see him creeping the 10 year old me. Even Link was all like "No homo!" lol!
But I'm curious to see how bosses will look in this game. Since the rep in one of the videos say "bosses don't even compare to the mini boss- they're huge," (in an excited tone), sounds like they may even be bigger than TP bosses.
I personally really loved Twilight Princess bosses with the exception of the difficulty. But we already would tell that SS will be harder than TP so if the bosses are bigger I think I'll just die of happiness lol@Sonic:
This game looks way too cute.
Is that a compliment?
-
New details are out that sound really awesome http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=162023
-
It sounds like Majora's Mask and Windwaker levels of "let's bring in something totally new and switch this up some!" Twilight Princess was kind of a retread of older ideas and "standard" Zelda.
Meaning I'm excited. I adored Windwaker and hated its DS spinoffs because they couldn't capture what was good about it, so I'd rather we move the fuck on finally.
Also I'm a sucker for "school"-based setting and the Zelda usage seems neat in this.
-
Yeah I'm really hyped for this now … well I was before but now I'm even more hyped.
Sounds really interesting -
i love the setting of this game and i like how they've brought back the majora styled side-quests. That was one of my favourite parts of Majora's Mask
-
Do I smell MM-good side quests and character involvement/development? Hell YEA!!!
I can't wait for this game! And I'm really liking this whole school drama elements thing. It kinda confirms LinkxZelda early on in the game rather than the end.I am also curious about Ganondorf's origin. Will it show the origin of Gerudu? Or will it show a relative of Ganondorf, OR will it show himself, before he was evil but explain why he would become evil in the future… all very interesting
@ Hole Hell: Heyyy c'mon Spirit Tracks was actually good... -
Now that they said that Skyward Sword has Majora's mask style side quests I'm totally making this a day 1 purchase.
One of the reasons I adore Majora so much is because the side quests helped develop the citizens of Termina into actual characters with actual lives rather than just a bunch of faceless NPC's.Also ten bucks says that the Bullies name is going to be Mido.

Lol. If they do then i want other characters to have similar relations. I want to see a Kafei and Anju, Malon and everyones favourite; Tingle
-
Nuts to that, gimme new characters to play fairy godmother with.
NPC's are one of the few things that can change in a Zelda game. -
Same trailer with new footage….
GORONS! -
Dammit. I expected new footage in the entire video rather than a few tiny clippings. Oh well… I would not want to spoil the adventure too much. Game looks really good.
-
16 Characters of Traveling GORONS!
Let the speculation begin :P
-
Wind waker gorons! Probably similar idea or they are shops because one thing i've noticed is a lack of houses outside skyloft. It's not unbelievable that they could be traveling salesmen
-
Was reading a Nintendo Power interview about Skyward Sword and it was confirmed by Aonuma himself that Ganon isn't appearing in this game
-
But we might see a backstory to him. More likely mentioned than seen. Or maybe that doesn't mean ganondorf just Ganon…
-

I have nothing against Ganon, I just think he's getting a tad over used. -
I have nothing against Ganon, I just think he's getting a tad over used.I can agree with you on that, but I'm not feeling Ghirahim that much (at least as the main villain), but I'll live.
-
Me neither, but he's new. I'm always willing to give a new villain a chance.
-
Just remembered another part of the article. The harp Zelda has is confirmed to be the main musical instrument of the game, and is the same design as the one sheik used in OoT
-
I dont think Ghirahim is the main villian… instead is part of an evil organization since he keeps saying "we" and "us." He might just be that villian who you get to face over and over untill you beat him :P
Edit: Was this interview recent? I would like to read :)
-

Fuck yes, A harp. First a whistle, then a ocarina, a wand, next is wolf howling, now a harp. Yes.
-
Pfft. What!? A harp? Who the heck came up with that girly instrument? :getlost:
-
Pfft. What!? A harp? Who the heck came up with that girly instrument? :getlost:
Yeah, why can't be a manly instrument!
Like a sweet potato shaped flute! -
Its girly because its actually Zeldas and somehow Link gets a hold of it after she gets seperated from him…
BTW is it a Lyre or a Harp? (I dont know much about instruments) -
Pfft. What!? A harp? Who the heck came up with that girly instrument? :getlost:
It takes a real fucking man to play a harp. So you best be trolling.
-
Skip to 00:24. You can see the harp.
-
Yes, what ever would we do if Link was girly.
-
The interview was in the most recent issue of Nintendo Power
-

I think if you take a look at the top left of my post, it would be obvious.
I can see this as a complaint a bunch of idiots make though like the people who said that Wind Waker Sucked. I really like the fact that it was Zelda's though.

Honestly, I was half joking and half serious. But yeah. Complaints up the ass probably.
-
People are already complaining that Link looks too "girly" rolls eyes, when really he almost looks exactly like TP Link but cell shaded :S
-
next thing u kno were just gonna have a zelda instea dof a link???
-
Link playing a harp isn't really new.
