The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword E3 2011 Early Thoughts

[JustaC00lGuy]

Everyone there is a book released in Japan called Hyrule Historia it shows every little detail about the series and more importantly shows the official timeline check it out and please spread the word

[RandomTechUniversity]

Skyward Sword is about the creation of the Master Sword. It is the same sword in Ocarina of Time. Fi has entered the Master Sword into an endless sleep in the end of Skyward Sword. Now, with simple logic, Fi should have still been sleeping in the Master Sword in Ocarina of Time...and she didn't. The "legendary hero" who Navi spoke of when Link first saw the Master Sword in OoT, that hero must have been the Link in Skyward Sword. In all logic, Fi should have shown up in Ocarina of Time.

[TheKnightOf0]

@RandomTechUniversity I think Fi said she would go into a sleep that would last forever.

[RandomTechUniversity]

Wait this doesn't make sense: Speaking as a person who played the game, Fi, Link's guide in his quest, in the end says she can't stay with Link, she has to enter a endless sleep. But she also tells him "we shall meet in another lifetime." I found this interesting. Now, Nintendo has said that Skyward Sword is a prequel to Ocarina of Time. In OoT, when Link first sees the Master Sword,Navi says "It was used by a legendary hero." Obviously, the Skyward Sword Link. How come Fi didn't show up in OoT?

well... a few things one at 2:28 wtf you talking about zelda never being portraid as a nothing but a princess and i think that i like twilights princess graphics the most, this seems like a mix between twilight princess picturing, and wind waker.

[spyrodrake]

ooo i love how the skyward sword theme is zeldas lullaby backwards

[JasminePaygeBrooke]

i like you

[MrPublickenemy1]

I also noticed on some hylian shields (google it) the bird is carrying another piece of the triforce. If you look at the triforce it has three pieces and the middle is vacant. That can be a shocking discovery if there IS another piece. I love having my mind getting blown away.

[StickyCharmander]

@MrPublickenemy1 Thats the tetra force theory.Myamoto and Aonuma vehemently denied it in an interview.They even took it out of the later hylian shield designs.

[MegaOddly]

at 0:24 link has red earings then at 0:53 they are blue

[CocaineDrRockso]

its wierd if those tunics originate from skyloft why do kokiris wear them?

[vangsalena]

it seems this is the beggining of all the zelda series cause all of them talk about the sky and please dont write back

[mistermordancy]

I have a theory about the story. At the end, when Link & Zelda have defeated a powerful evil with the master sword, there is a curse put on them to be continually re-born and always have to bond together to defeat the evil that threatens hyrule, as a side effect they will always be drawn to each other, but they will never "be together". Which i think explains the constant "will they won't they" of Link & Zelda, and gives it an element of tragedy.

[bonjamin6]

if this is the game before ocarina of time it doesnt make any scence when young link meet zelda in oot she didnt know who he was and at that point zelda was a princess and she was a little kid so it doesnt make any scence if zelda isnt a princess in this game then WTF?

[samuskiller19]

I never thought of the red bird like that before, very well spotted.

[WakeGaming]

Did you notice that the skyward sword theme is zelda's lullaby backward? That could be another reference to ocarina of time

[TheKnightOf0]

@WakeGaming I think so, I played the trailer backwards in normal time in that particular spot so people could hear it.

[WakeGaming]

@TheKnightOf0 i heard that it was on purpose and that the game might have some sort of other reversing other things like reversing time like in majora's mask

[TheKnightOf0]

@WakeGaming Sounds interesting. Let the speculations begin

[sourcekings]

LOOKS LIKE N64

[sourcekings]

THAT GAME DOESNT LOOK TO GOOD. WHATS GOING ON WHY DO PEOPLE SETTLE FOR 20 YEAR OLD GRAPHICS

[TheKnightOf0]

@sourcekings I don't think it's the graphics we settle for, it's the 25 year old series that always delivers.

[sourcekings]

@sourcekings i understand showing love to an old game but its just weird how we settle for things all the games are the same. just weird a little you could of been in a comma and woke back up and taught it was the same game. and people like it. this game could be the best looking game thats out they have the money to make games that are amazing but you guys keep letting the crappy n64 games still come out they dont even be caring they put stuff out and they know you guys will just buy it.

[MorganOira]

@sourcekings well you are just being a graphic whore

the graphics look really beautiful for impressionism

[RobbieDaRobber]

@sourcekings

Are you saying we had these graphics on the SNES? Dang, I must have missed those games. You shouldn't look at it like "realistic=good".

[CocaineDrRockso]

@sourcekings what do you mean? i love it.

[Omfgaxel]

@sourcekings Problem?

[averageblackreviews]

@sourcekings the hell are you talking about.they didn't have graphics like this at all 20 years ago.how old are you kid?these graphics are amazing for the wii's standards and graphics dont make the game.go screw call of duty.

[japanatic722]

Thumbs up if when the rewind was happening in the beginning of the video you heard Zelda's Lullaby. 

[newguyhi]

Anybody think the guy at the end is Vaati? He looks like the ones we have seen before and the tornado seems like him.

[biobobz]

@newguyhi It's not Vaati, it's a guy called Guinarihm (or something like that). It's was confirmed in E3.

[tombraiderxXx12]

another great early thoughts, but one major flaw. You didnt talk about the mysterious man at the end of the trailer that everyone is fussing about. I was hoping to hear your thoughts on him!!!

[TheKnightOf0]

@tombraiderxXx12

I don't want to spoil who the "mysterious man" at the end of the trailer is. If you want me to tell you, I'll send you a message.

[xAhoy]

@TheKnightOf0 Can you send me a message of who the "mysterious man" is at the end of the trailer? I'm really curious and would love to know. Thanks!

[simpsonfanboy]

Interesting point about the birds, I didn't notice that. Something I did notice is the character fighting Link at the end of the trailer, maybe he is the new main villain, since this is before Ocarina of Time, it seems that Gannondorf probably won't be the main villain. Anyway, this game looks great, I can't wait to play it! :)

[andrer2306]

Links bird is the only bird who can fly all the way down to the ground (Hyrule)

[RedYoshiReturns]

Great video man, but I would recommend pausing every time you speak :)

[owensoft]

god I hate birds :(

[qwertqwe]

Nice point about the birds. I agree with you.

[lylatfox4]

one thing not covered was that there seems to be 2 main overworlds, the skyloft skies that appearts to have many floating islands that could be accessible to go to like windwaker, but also at the end of the trailer link jumps off his bird or dragon duck an awesome name ign made up that seems to go down into the land of hyrule or the land before hyrule, which means there could possibly be 2 overworlds which really would make this the largest zelda in history

[lylatfox4]

great thoughts, i cannot wait for this game
