The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Ink Blot Intro Video

[Jorgeylosdosenanitos]

@TheR9RO Sorry, it's "Lyre"

[Jorgeylosdosenanitos]

@TheR9RO It is called "Lira"

[TheR9RO]

What's the instrument in 1:54~2:11??

[paranoidskit]

@TheR9RO probably vocals

[notabagel123]

@TheR9RO it's people singing

[HmongZboy]

this intro is ok but twilight seem more interesting and hearbreaking

[freakachu100]

@FalconFetus8 ya it did it played 4 me @ the begining of the game

[Alive4Metal]

I FUCKING LOVE THIS GAME!

[TheCalvertz]

@Alive4Metal ME TOO!!!

[ChopSooyLee]

I can't imagine Kikwi fighting Demise alongside Her Grace.

[TyeWatson]

@ChopSooyLee Kew Kew!

[Imahest75]

How can you see this once again in your game?

[Wiman445]

@Imahest75 stay on the title screen long enough

[SpadesRnell]

this is possibly the legend that took place before the 'ocarina of time' game since the triforce seal represents the triforce itself and what seams to be a bird, and thus the bird represents the city in the sky, and also note that the final boss is demise, but not ganondorf, but yet look excalty like him.. lol :D its a brief description on what i think

[Soulipsist0]

Man when I watched this for the first time, after reading "Thank you for your purchase", man was I down to play some good old Zelda again for the first time in a long time.

[FalconFetus8]

It's a shame this never actually made it into the game.

[Makutus]

@FalconFetus8 It did, actually. It played for me when I started for the first time.

[whostolecarlosrox]

artistically reminds me of A Link to the Past's into...love it

[XXtheJUMPoffXX]

Pretty cool for a 7.5 game

[SyluxN64]

Did anyone else notice the "City in the Sky" music from Twilight Princess at 1:54?

Personally I think that's really cool....

[IIHiaGoII]

@SyluxN64 personally, I don`t think that sound like city in the sky theme...

[SyluxN64]

@IIHiaGoII well it's altered a little as well as the synth being replaced by a choir and the weird humming replaced by a flute, but hey I can see why you don't think it's the same

[Grimreaper1977]

very nice intro... reminds me to the Windwaker one but with fresh style

[SuperHushPuppy]

Get ready peeps. Work your two hand and pratice swinging cause you'll need that when this game comes out! I sure will by playing wii sport boxing each day.

[dumb180]

The intro story reminds me of that Stephen King story where a fog starts covering the world and then a bunch of crazy monsters attack everyone at the grocery store.

[xXJacobBuckXx]

@dumb180 The Mist? LOL

[dumb180]

@xXJacobBuckXx Yeah. The monsters in that story came out of the earth, if I'm not mistaken. Guess I should've mentioned that for clarity's sake.

[Guitarist500]

Koji Kondo actually wrote this one song for the game :D I love it! :3

[TheBiggamer64]

GAAAH I CAN'T WAIT. THE MUSIC IS INCREDIBLE

[jrdennis95]

I've had this piece in my head for the past month, it's AMAAAZZING.

AMAZING, I TELL YOU!

[napilopez]

Apparently this is the only piece of music for the game that was actually composed by Koji Kondo, and so far it's the best piece I've heard. Jesus christ, the man's still got it.

[TheBiggamer64]

@napilopez I know right?

[Zeldafan1ify]

I paused at 0:18 when I read the first sentence.. I haz seen too much O3O.. I must wait until I get the game through pre-order mail.

[xXXrayzerXXx]

I GOT A FUCKING CALL OF FAGOTS COMMERCIAL I FEEL VIOLATED

[234689ify]

animatied....B-blood?!........­Zelda games never had blood..NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[gameboy699]

JUST TAKE MY MONEY! DAMMIT!

[Finrodhk]

At 0:57 the guy in middle is screaming: HEAVY METAAAAL!

[TheBiggamer64]

@Finrodhk thank god someone else noticed that

[TheAlmightySeven7]

windwaker bullshit!

[darkchamberofdark666]

That horned monster does look like Ganon

[90socram]

"the best zelda of all time"

they said that of every new zelda

but they have good reasons to do that

beacause is true!!

[kevbot117]

@90socram ocarina of time, majoras mask and twilight princess are the best zelda games in my opinion

[MrMicroRed]

...emergence day?

[druha10304]

damn they came out blazing with that thunderous soundtrack

[The1337BBQ]

SPOILER:

Dumbledor dies in the 6th book.

[TheKingofWinter07]

@The1337BBQ

You, my friend, just made my day xD

[TheBillyCoulter]

@The1337BBQ Lol

[0Brilwen0]

LMFAO, I remember everyone kept getting so frustrated at that.

[IIHiaGoII]

@The1337BBQ oO... NOOoo

[NeoNazi250]

@The1337BBQ

SPOILER:

Jesus dies in the second book.

[glowats]

@The1337BBQ That just made my day!! Thanks!!

[mkashnard]

Hmmm.. I know its zelda and all... but I'm kinda tired of stereotypical stories of a kingdom in danger which is found near he brink of destruction and is suddenly saved by a great power/hero and for almost no reason whatsoever the whole evil army is defeated and the few remnants make the plot of the upcoming story

[TheNekoParty]

@mkashnard during all the "stereotypical stories of kingdom in danger" there's a different plot, different characters, quests, dungeons, etc. and and actually there's no a "whole evil army" in any zelda game just on the old ones if you're tired just stop playing i should say the same with mostly of the Xbox games like Halo is the same stereotypical aliens vs humans with a bunch of futuristic weapons and dull storyline and non-expresive characters with a boring ambient

[ThePossumReport]

@TheNekoParty dude...have you played a halo game? sure, the characters are dull in comparison to something like zelda, but a dull storyline? are you kidding me? halo has one of the coolest stories i've played in a game! sure, some have been better than others; dont get me wrong, but the concept of halo, the mystery of finding out what it is and what it does was mind blowing! wait...why are we talking about halo in a zelda video?

[ColtonOweekly]

@TheNekoParty I'm assuming the Halo thing was sarcastic or Imma roflstomp you with a lecture on how Halo is more than just a game series but a massive media series of books, film, games, comics, and music.

[megamariostiles]

@ColtonOweekly Just because it spreads itself through different kinds of media doesn't make his statement false ;)

[ColtonOweekly]

@megamariostiles Okay let me restate it:

I can roflstomp him on how Halo is NOT stereotypical at all unless you mean it's stereotypical in being pretty original if you actually look into more than just the games.

[halo6534]

@TheNekoParty How dare you insult halo! Dont be a fanboy kid. Don't insult other games. And how is zelda not cliche as fuck? And theres nothing wrong with being cliche zelda just happens to pull off cliche really well and same with halo. Most games like WOW do not pull it off well. That whole fantasy meidevil shit is getting so old. Cliche is never a bad thing.....they just need to pull it off right. Cause if you think about it alot of the best games ever are cliche....

[VGGeek]

@halo6534 >can't spell

>how dare you insult halo!

Mad child detected

[LucvdMortel]

@halo6534

Except Zelda Skyward Sword isn't medieval. They have machines, robots and factories in this game. Not exactly cliché medieval now is it?

[Dariusnify]

This was good but Wind Waker still has it beat

[TheHoski]

1:20 look, it shows all the races. Theres gorons and those little hedgog looking creatures.

[kevbot117]

@TheHoski deku

[Exblade26]

Is it me or does the music have a disneyish orchestra vibe to it because I like the music. Looks pretty cool I say the outdid themselves this time.

[fireemblemfreak21]

@ricarditooooful thats not Ganon. He probably won't appear in this game since this is a prequel to ocarina of time

[trect18]

I love Fi's voice!

[Ravenbanno]

what software did they us to make the inkblot animations?

love the intro

[monchandclaxbach]

@Ravenbanno the name of the software is. real life animators.

[Ravenbanno]

@monchandclaxbach

so how did they make it exactly?

[ricarditooooful]

AT the beggining, thats Ganon. Hopefull he'll appear!

[GoRedskins15]

Ok if u go to :30 you can see a guy to the far left who looks like ghirahim. he has that pointy ear and his cloak looks like ghirahim's. and also at 2:18 the same guy has a pointy ear and a normal ear just like ghirahim. that has to be him and the big guy in the middle is his master

[boyoftrick90]

For such a colorful game the story is really dark... love it =)

[waffocopter]

I hear...Midna?

[SynchroWind]

@waffocopter I believe it's Fi

[bigmacORwhopper]

Ok...THEY NEED TO MAKE A TWILIGHT PRINCESS!!

[SZskits]

ah nostalgia...this reminds me of Wind Waker's intro

[thelegendoflink52]

@SZskits Only this is better.

[avatar9005]

their good that game is poor

[SIOrlove1]

Ummmmm they already told us this story in more or less the same format. This is a reimagining of the start of Wind Waker.

I love Nintendo, but they need to get better writers.

[craponnaruto]

@SIOrlove1 Wind Waker's intro was supposed to be written on scrolls and passed down through generations, all throughout the flood. This is like that, but instead, it's cavepaintings since the earliest of all surface-dwellers didn't have those things. So yes, they're alike, but in different ways due to the era.

[joaovictor1994]

damnit the ending was so abrupt with the music being cut off >:(

[joao393]

Music reminded me of Jaws, a little bit xP

[hotdiddykong2]

That intro voice scares the crap out of me.

I seriously cant wait for this game, its gonna be awesome

[jmlrugby11]

this should be a good game. Skyrim, however, will be a far superior rpg in all aspects, imo.

[xghoulxx]

@jmlrugby11 you're comparing 2 different types of games i.e action adventure and rpg, it's like comparing COD to mario, there is no comparison to be made to begin with

[hotdiddykong2]

@jmlrugby11

One is Generic Realistic, the others Watercolor Realistic, both with have their own awesome experience. and they are both different, you cant compare

[liverpoolfc65123]

@jmlrugby11 first off you little bitch zelda is not an rpg 2nd zelda is one of the greatest ame series ever which elder scrolls will never reach the same heights as zelda 3rd who gives a fuck what you think 4th you lose any credibility for aying zelda is an rpg 5th i dont give a fuck about my spelling 6th go take skyrim cod and whatever shit you play and shove it up your ass you little wanker 7 i have wasted enough time messaging such a fucking retard imo

[Kram1032]

This music is terribly amazing.

[magicLP76]

anyone know what the two races are on the left side of the goddess on the left and in the middle at 1:15? i think the middle one might be a redesign of the zoras since one of the new trailers shows link approaching one in a river, but i have no idea what the one farthest to the left is.

[xghoulxx]

song at 2:36 is probably going to be my #1 zelda song for a while to come

[AGoatNamedJohn]

I like how it says can not play on mobile even though 5 minutes ago I was able to watch it just fine

[chit271]

if the next Zelda game doesnt have voices im going to be realy pissed

[smashninja22]

@chit271 no you won't

[DaringDirk100]

@chit271

I don't think Zelda will ever have real voices. The gibberish sounds you hear is the closest you'll get methinks. Voices would ruin Zelda anyway.

[samtendo]

@DaringDirk100 kinda like the cdi-games...

[liverpoolfc65123]

@chit271 hate to break it to you but be prepared to be pissed voices would ruin zelda anyway

[Pololaguanabana]

The music is totally different...............nice.

[TBoneTony]

Awesome.

Kinda like the intros to Wind Waker as well as A Link To the Past how it explains about a war in the lands of Hyrule and how there were those who were fighting over the power of the Goddesses. I look forward into playing this game.

[Gum2Gum]

ink blot the hottest craze.....

[Timstuff]

Call me a deviant, but I think it's time for Zelda to have voice overs. Text boxes always take me out of the experience and remind me that it's just a game. I don't feel immersed like I do when I play a game where I hear the characters speak. Even this intro feels like something is missing because it feels like it needs a narrator but doesn't have one.

[lbgundead]

@Timstuff I think they can pull off voice overs like they did in metroid prime 3. Everyone had voices except the main character and it still worked nicely.

[ammaccabanane97]

epic

[Excalibur5k]

ink blots? ok, i see... butterflys XD

[anthonyph3]

why did I sell my wii =.=

[myshoescramp]

@anthonyph3 Not enough good games.

[kkingcombo12345]

@anthonyph3

fell real sorry 4 u bro. i gotta fast pc thats upgradable to 16 gb of ram. yea me!!

i'll get dolphin just for zelda.

[smashninja22]

@kkingcombo12345 by the fucking game i hate shits that don't by things that are worth it

[kkingcombo12345]

@smashninja22

well it'll look better on dolphin ;D

[hotdiddykong2]

@kkingcombo12345

How the F*CK will this game work on Dolphin, do you KNOW, how you control this game? and Emulators give you crappy view.

[kkingcombo12345]

@hotdiddykong2

i played dolphin b4 thats how i no.

[fihsy297]

Naice

[sugreev2001]

Honestly,looks cheesy and poorly done.

[TheMageOfWindVaati]

@sugreev2001 What?! You don't get the artistic direction they were going with this do you?

It's a LEGEND! Obviously this adds to the fact that the LEGEND is old...

[Auldito]

@sugreev2001 yeah go bak and play cod, why are you even looking at these videos

[xemnos8]

@sugreev2001 no need to be rushy in judging :p

i did the same for many other games just because of the advertisment. Later on, its a different thing.

[MentalError07]

Did anyone else find the music to be a bit annoying (except for the very last bit)?

[FOX11GUY]

You can tell how weak the Wii is by the size of it's cooling fan.

[yinyanium]

How many Links and Zeldas are there and how old can they even be?

[darklyt750]

i do believe it might be time to dig out the ol wii for this release date

[NoMidsForMe]

@darklyt750 Mines so dusty it has a grey look to it now

[darklyt750]

@NoMidsForMe Lol nice dude i havent even seen mine in a year. Cant wait for this shit

[Jared8Randall]

just flip it up into your waistband, guys. That's what I always do

[tfp1119]

25 years ago it seems like yesterday I placed that golden treasure into my nes for the first time this is our childhood of adventure our link to the past a legend that has traveled through time it was the only light when the end of the world struck its taken us all across the sea to the twilight the bridge of light and dark it will take us soaring into the sky this is the legend of our childhoods this is the legend of zelda. cheers to another 25 years.

[PikaPower131313]

@tfp1119 stolen comment

[multishuckle]

@tfp1119 The 25 years would be celebrating the Japanese release of the original Zelda in february 1986... so you played the Japanese version? Or it was 24 years ago :P Sorry, I have an eye for detail

[WammiJammi]

[Septimra]
