Bill Trinen Explains Skyward Sword: Overworld, Item Upgrades, and More

[P0int13lank138]

Well, it seems to be more fluent with movement and emotions, but the details on the characters and surroundings seem like a step down. They just look like flat colours with some shading. :/

[Greenie369]

Looks like the interviewer ended up being right about the connection between Fi and Ghirahim.

[UchihaPride1]

holy crap i cant wait for skyward sword. i might even like it better than twilight princess!

[soridosuneku]

If you pause at 2:43, Ghirahim gives Link such an evil, scary look from behind! His iris is almost completely rolled back.

[RSzelda]

@TheBerry79

They're called rupees, not rubys.

[timurtuzel]

this can't be the first dungeon... he has 8 hearts

[SwordmasterYuskei]

@timurtuzel It's for the demo.

[timurtuzel]

the commentator thinks Link is Zelda... wtf

[richa16x]

I hope you can play as ghirahim in de the new ssbb (L)

[cookiesofdoom12]

I'd be scared if I was Link O.O

[MLink96]

@cookiesofdoom12

Well,, do you got the triforce power of courage? I don't think so!

[ArkaniteKae]

I want this game SO BAD.... I need to go run around and yell it to the world.. @_@

[ALTheCanadianGamer]

We'll get to play this on November 20th!

[BongaFish]

Girahim: "I'll just beat you within an inch of your life..."

Link: "Uh oh, I'm in some big trouble no--"

Girahim: *tongue*tongue*

Link: "Whoa--shit! THE HELL'S WRONG WITH YOU, MAN?!"

[Kelohmello]

This will be the best Zelda game ever. You can tell just looking at it, They're really trying to break away from tradition with this, and looks like it's working wonders.

[CobraCommanderNLD]

He kinda reminds me of Aghanim from A Link to the Past.

[StarForceKid194]

Holiday Season = November 2nd 2011. :) 

[XxChrisXx1231]

And another question is ganon in this game and is this the sequel to TP?

[arabiansanchez]

@XxChrisXx1231 Ganon is not in the game. This is a prequel to the entire series wherein we will learn the origins of Ganon but he won't appear.

[0danmaster0]

@XxChrisXx1231 no and it's the prequel to ocarina of time

[ThisIsWonga1]

@XxChrisXx1231 We don't know, and no, this is set before Ocarina of Time. Twilight Princess is set after OoT.

[scj8181]

@XxChrisXx1231 seeing as this is the prequel to ocarina of time (the answer to your second question, in other words: no), chances are he wont be in it.

[XxChrisXx1231]

This is the only reason why I'm going to buy a wii

[rara1800]

yikes ghiraham looks creepy! lol I cant wait to play this game its gonna be exciting!!!!! =)

[MrPotatoSack177]

FYI DEbbie or Ghirahim Link is a man not a boy ya noob he's 20 years old

[dinmagic]

They did a splendid job with the facial expressions and animation. Just look at Girahim's eyes when Link is fighting him.

[Paikerchu13]

@MegaAeroforce1

This comment is hilarious because of the terrible spelling.

[ligepith]

Bring back Majora or ganondorf not this tight clothed homo

[waxford13]

i hope Robin Williams does a commercial for Skyward Sword :D

[SuperBigMariofan]

i think ghirahim should be a girl

[TheStreetEffect1]

I think this is the best demonstration of Skyward Sword because the demoer knows what he's doing, loving everything iv seen so far. but i just hate the way everyone holds their sword! haha like previous games or just sword play in general you hold your blade to the side ready, not directly in front of you just looks goofy while running or fighting! haha but then again this is going to be anouther hit! bring on the holiday season!

[nejiinokibarock]

that boss looks like the male version of lady gaga

[OrdoMallius]

link looks like a fuckign retard when he is holding his sword

[Fennecfox10]

Great, my school uses a Website called Skyward for grading. When I would use this sword I'll be thinking about school....

[TriForceofEpicness33]

i still think oot will be better. Although this is gonna beat twilight princess for sure! And another thing. doesn't Girahim remind you a bit of sephiroth from FF7? he's got that sort of 'camp/epic' vibe on him

[RashaTwain]

CONTINUED. So there aren't any preconditions to who can acquire the triforce, it would be inconsistent for the same goddesses to create a sword that will banish evil. However, looking at it in a darwinistic light the sword could be an equalizer. So that there is the chance of a cycle that repeats itself. If the person that possess the triforce is pure evil than the MS can take away his power thus resetting the triforce to be acquired again by whoever. This game is going to be interesting.

[Ziltwix]

@RashaTwain You have a very strategic mind sir! :D

[NintendoKnight1]

@RashaTwain The Goddesses did not create the Master Sword. The Ancient Sages did. That also may include the Link of this game. They gave the sword the power to repel evil, meaning anyone with a wicked heart can not approach the sword. It has nothing to do with the triforce at all, especially considering the first time the triforce that was used was in OoT, 100 years after this game.

[RashaTwain]

@NintendoKnight1 So how does one become a Sage? There are always seven, six including Zelda, yet they are different in each game.

[NintendoKnight1]

@RashaTwain As far as we've seen, Sages are called to be one by either a previous Sage, or the temple they have to be the Sage of. However, the Ancient Sages are a different story. And not much info on them is known.

Hopefully, we'll get some clarification in this game.

Also, there are always 6 Sages. The one time that there was a seventh was the only time when Zelda was a Sage. Otherwise, she's just a princess.

[RashaTwain]

@NintendoKnight1 Gotcha. I was reading the Zelda Wiki and their actually more interesting than I thought.

[NintendoKnight1]

@RashaTwain Absolutely. Zelda Wiki has tons of good info.

[RashaTwain]

This makes sense now. Why the Master Sword is called the sword of evils bane isn't because of Ganon but because of this guy. And the triforce wil lplay a different role as they say because the goddesses have to forge the sword for link. However, that goes against the whole idea of the triforce doesn't it? In OoT, doesn't link find out that the triforce is basically unbiased towards who can acquire it? It depends what's in their heart that will determine the outcome of the world. CONTINUED

[Thezeldagamegirl]

if people still dont like the graphics thay should like ghirahim he looks like a cool character want this game to come out NOW

[brodo458]

Lol this guy sucks at Zelda

[Lecrie]

"That sword is the only reason you still alive." Let's hope they fix that one..

[MangoMarble]

@Lecrie "That sword of yours is the only reason you still live." 'Tis correct.

[RedYoshiReturns]

@Lecrie He said you still LIVE, not alive.

[kukingina]

Playable Gannondorf !!! NOW



[ganon1994]

ghirahim is doing a full heart container's worth of damage

[MetalGamer97]

@ganon1994 That's a good thing. The harder the better.

[alextheangry02]

This game looks fantastic to me, can't wait to give it a try!

[Maddude]

Ghirahim....creepiest Zelda boss ever.

[xlink117]

Thank god i preordered this in the middle of last year...

[Millahtime]

@huldu *face palm* sometimes I feel bad for ignorant people like you. This game has more advance graphics than TP, let alone N64. Theres more advanced specular highlighting, much more detailed texture mapping, more advanced lighting and shadowing, and significantly more advanced animations. The animations in the faces alone are much improved. Just look at their mouths, eyes, eyebrows, and they even have teeth not just a fake mouth. I seriously don't understand how people like you could be so bl

[Millahtime]

I'm so glad Nintendo hasn't shown anything about the surface world yet. It's gonna make stepping out on Hyrule field for the first time so much more surprising and impactful.

[Omancer]

3:54

He seriously just called him Zelda.

*facepalm*

[ifarah12]

2:00

[huldu]

I am quite disappointed with the graphics. They remind me of the N64 for crying out loud.

[toastedjuice]

@huldu Go turn on you N64, look at Link and say that again. Besides, Its a Wii game, what did you expect it to look like? The hardware can only handle so much and it looks great for what it is. Polygons are overrated.

[ifarah12]

@huldu holy fuck man your N64 has these graphics?!

[neemandhaydn]

@huldu well your observations are very poor. I've played OOT on my N64 for years and those graphics cannot and do not compare to this, considering the quality on this video isn't very good, the game still looks amazing. Links facial expressions at 1:56 for example, show that this is way beyond the N64's visuals. maybe you're just being a troll or maybe you just are being dumb, either way, this game looks way better than the N64. this reply was not even needed to explain that but I did it anyway.

[mariogamersidequest]

@huldu lol look at the fucking difference ignorant bastard

[P0int13lank138]

@huldu While I don't think they're quite as blockified as the N64, they definately seem to have the same idea around having solid colours for every damn shape on him. I was expecting a lot more from a game that people have been yapping on about for so long. :/

[dawdawdaw122]

looks like a great game but it seems like there are very few items in the game compared to other zelda games like Twillight princess.

[ausauspatpat]

NOTHING is better than OoT and MM

[ausauspatpat]

I couldn't care less if they made the combat without wii motion-plus... I mean, yeah it might be cool and maybe even better because people can put in there own fighting strategies easier but still... I don't even like zelda games on the wii at all to be honest...I tried twilight princess on the wii, and I liked it, but i'd probably prefer an actual controller instead of the motion thing. and it's sad how people are saying this is going to be the next OoT... it might be good, but (continued)

[Dixavd]

If they can figure out useful ways of stopping the flying form going to places tht are suppossed to be later in the game it could work, btu the idea that you can fly around anywhere that you can see does mean they now have th eporblem you could just fly over any obstacle - but will be interested to see the overworld set-up. But the depth of the gameplay and overall improvement on the basic zelda elements seem good so far (although this is them marketing it so they won't make it look bad haha)

[1990supersonic]

GORONS! GORONS! GORONS!!!!!!

[whatsstrength]

Bill Trinen is awesome, the Kevin Butler of Nintendo.

[robotortoise]

At 7:46, if you listen closely, you can hear the Fairy's Fountain file select music. ;)

[linzemol]

Ghirahim.

Don't be a drag.

Just be a queen.



[HylianDakota]

kay skepticism is fine.. but it doesn't make sense to call a game terrible, or claim its controls suck, until you've actually put it in the console, AND PLAYED ACTUALLY PLAYED IT. my gawd people. and if its the graphics your complaining about.. go die plz

[church348]

if this is the first boss, why does he have so many hearts already?

[pkcrossing89]

I know that I will hate these gimmicky shit motion controls. What happened to pressing B or shaking the Wiimote like in the Wii version of Twilight Princess???

[Dzzy123]

@pkcrossing89 Have you tried it?

Don't hate it until you play it...

[church348]

@pkcrossing89 TP's wii controls were a lot more gimmicky than the more realistic sword controls in this

[pkcrossing89]

@church348 How?

[church348]

@pkcrossing89 because in twilight princess you were just waggling the wiimote around. in this game you are actually controlling the sword.

waggling does not make good gameplay, give my gamecube TP any day over the wii version

[church348]

@pkcrossing89 but i would prefer a traditional control scheme though

[MrJosh2640]

Finally tactical boss fights

[ZapperBrain]

That looks AMAZING!!!

[ZapperBrain]

No fucking way. That's Vaati. I know it.

[Dzzy123]

@ZapperBrain It's Ghirahim

[SalvationStudios1]

I'm so, so happy. I just noticed... the skip cutscene button (cries). I missed it so much in Ocarina of Time 3D on that 5th play through (cries more).

[exmgx]

NEW CHARACTER o_o

so Phi is the new Midna/NAVI O_O sounds like a silly name ..i expect pee jokes ._.

anyway to see Phi hit 11:05 :P

[KrazyBean14]

I just realized something...this Zelda game has Orchestral music!

[KrazyBean14]

Shaking the Nunchuck?? NO, the Nunchuck SUCKS when it cones to Motion Control!

[XtrueheroX]

C.A.N.T wait any longer, this is why zelda is a pain in the ass because it takes to long to come out. i remeber twilight princess... ugh

[jaycodfan]

8 hearts at end of 1st dungeon?

[SalvationStudios1]

@jaycodfan Demo.

[TheShepardSaga]

@jaycodfan 1st: People are getting new to the feature. It had apparently to be made sure that this boss could be beaten

2nd: IT IS A DEMO. It is no imperative that the actual gameplay presents you with 8 hearts, this is inconceivable.

[KakashiDude96]

Ghirahim reminds me of Orochimaru, except gayer.

[KrazyBean14]

@KakashiDude96 HAHA! Same!

[munkki100]

@KakashiDude96 0.o is it possible?



[halofreak99099]

@KakashiDude96 Orochimaru seems gayer to me.

[RedYoshiReturns]

I. WANT. THAT. GAME. AND. SHIRT. NOW. YA HEAR ME?

[LetalBladeNinja]

Ghirahim: Hello

Link: So, we meet again...Lady Gaga!

[demetriuscoleman10]

...........did Ghirahim just take the sword alway from Link. oh my God, what a bad ass!

[megazordman1]

so girahim is jeen simons

[CoyYsuFrikimundo]

@megazordman1 It's Gene Simons asshole, not JEEN

[megazordman1]

@CoyYsuFrikimundo so i didnt know how to spell his name no need to freak out

[jazzimusprime]

Awesome shirt is awesome.

[OgnarPliskin]

All I want to know is if we can upgrade the sword. I would love another Biggoron's Sword.

[Medinamania]

You mean Lord Ghirahim!

[ferco9312]

those are real changes on the Zeldas series can wait to play it,this is the only reason for have the wii :(

[BizzarityProductions]

No, you are not. That was one of the first things I noticed about Girahim.

[valmanzar16]

am I the only one who thinks girahim looks like orochimaru?

[TwiliVaati]

girahim is totally the zelda version of orochimaru <3

[TwiliVaati]

omg i wish theyd shut up i cna barley hear the game

[videoanime]

This holiday again Q_Q XDDD please, the exact date onegaishimasu jajajaja

[Noeliezer]

He said this holiday? yay!

[ultimatebman]

I kinda hate how you can only have one item equiped at a time

[Greenie369]

@ultimatebman Well, the way you easily equip items should make it so that's not too much of a problem.

[ultimatebman]

Thats an fairly difficult looking first boss.

[ultimatebman]

ONLY A FEW MONTHS TILL RELEASE :D

[BrandonIsNear]

Navi disliked this

[BrandonIsNear]

"does it say 'hey listen?'" LOL

[dsproductions19]

This game is going to be epic, and seems to be slightly more dark/disturbing than Twilight Princess based on that dialogue.

[loumaynay]

I bet Ghirahim disliked this.

[superjboy16]

Finally a decent player....

[wrentsify]

I couldn't be any more hyped for this. This looks sooo good.

[superjboy16]

2:01 Link is like WTF GET AWAY FROM ME!!!!!

[imaliar16]

That is indeed a cool-looking heart. The rupees look cool,too. And jeez,with the skyward sword girl (I think they said something like fyes) saying 'Upgrade detected' abd that stuff,she reminds me of the rocket in Pikmin 2. And to end my comment,those eyes on the wall near the end remind me of the ones in Phantom Hourglass.

[TwistedIndigo09]

@imaliar16

Her name is Phi.

[TealDaubs]

my body is ready ._.

[ChampionRevilo]

So, Ghirahim might be connected to the Master Sword? Ganon's Trident is the Master Sword's oposite. Maybe his spirit will be in the trident later? (Ocuring bewtween games or whatever) But I'm just speculating.

[GamecubeLPs]

let me say this. Skyward sword will be the next Ocarina of Time. I cannot wait.

[xjustin523x]

@GamecubeLPs i hope so.. lets hope skyward sword is to zelda what galaxy is to mario.. and i think theyre really attempting this

[ifarah12]

@GamecubeLPs Ocarina of time is a great game but it's overrated by legend of zelda fans

[ultimatebman]

@GamecubeLPs It will be a great game, but I wouldn't get your hopes up THAT high.

[GamecubeLPs]

@ultimatebman What I meant was, it feels like a big change to the series. Like Ocarina of Time was.

[ultimatebman]

@GamecubeLPs It definitely will. As will the version after that, for the Wii U

[GamecubeLPs]

@ultimatebman Is that really confirmed????!?!?!?

[ultimatebman]

@GamecubeLPs Not the demo version. But the version that will inevitably be made will no doubt take use of the touch pad

[iTzFrantiC]

@GamecubeLPs Fuck no

[RedYoshiReturns]

@iTzFrantiC Why not?

[FierceLegoLink]

awesome :D

[onetimeinashop]

what person do i need to rape in order to prove that this zelda is ganna be epic

[ChampionRevilo]

@onetimeinashop No one. Anyone who've seen any trailer for this game knows it!

[ultimatebman]

@onetimeinashop Noone, because rape is a sin
