E3 10: The Wiimote moves in the Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

[MrNintendoer]

Too bad that guy playing isnt putting more soul into it, im going to actually put my arm into the air to get the best feel i can out of it...

[Redhound117]

jeez, why is it so freaking colorful...

i wish they'd kept to twilight's style

[vanessa8513]

que tosco, ainda prefiro o ocarina of time, como toda evolução de imagem eles fazem o zelda com tanta pouca qualidade, e os morcegos e bonecos taum mal feito apesar que ele tbm esta parecendo uma mulher

[xdlugia1]

Looks like they replaced rolling with sprint. That's too bad, because rolling is a classic.

[deathk2]

@xdlugia1 You can still roll, just shake the nunchuk while running.

[WiiThoko]

@xdlugia1 Yeah, rolling took SKILL to master, putting together chains of A button mashes so you could successfully get to where you wanted to go, but apparently it was too hard for the fucking casuals who just want sprinting. >:(

[xdlugia1]

@WiiThoko Yeah, hahahaha!! And the classic "Crash!" when you hit a wall with a roll! And instead of A-spamming, you just need to hold it. D:<

[Drizzle4Ever]

Yay dodging is encouraged

[MrLisawsome]

dodundoo do de do dun da dahr du dan du da doodleooo tweedeltweedeloooooooo :[)

[cb52211]

This game actually looks challenging. Notice that the bosses attack did two hearts of damage. In TP, attacks like that would only do like half a heart.

[dolphin4d]

Why does he waggle like an idiot? >.<

[Calaxus]

I hope they include epona. She's my "whores" *giggle*. ugh. I'm so alone. But please tell me if they will inlude epona

[WiiThoko]

@Calaxus wow...

[Calaxus]

Ihope they include epona.

[KanagJ]

I like 99.9999999% of it, that 0.0000001% that I don't like is that Link is right handed

[milkbonebuddy]

Why is he waggling so much?

[kurby345]

Ugh, It's been 15 days, and I'm already going crazy because I feel like I NEED this game.

[Drizzle4Ever]

@kurby345 ive been going crazy since it was announced in 2009

[ripblade1]

@kurby345 same here i want it!!!

[HUGHmungous100]

@kurby345 15 days? HA! I've been going crazy for a YEAR over here! As I'm sure you have too. And apparently, this game doesn't get released until DECEMBER! Ugh, 6 more months...

[kurby345]

@HUGHmungous100 Yeah, I've known about it since Spirit Tracks was new, so I've been waiting a while.

[frostkiss2]

Does Link jump in SS? Is it possible?

[FiSKEN80]

cant see much use of the whip, would rather run in a circle like the old games picking up the rupees:P

[AvoidingtheQuestion]

@FiSKEN80 well... it's probably more useful for solving puzzles...

[ssj3metal]

It's just a demo right now. There is still at least six months of development ahead for the game and much more to improve.  I can just imagine when the final product is done, people will worship the game like never before!

[bluetube01]

I love how you can slash through mushrooms and they heal. I also want to be able to chop them up (and possibly eat them of have some lady cook them into a soup ). It bugs me that no one who played the hands on demo (that I have seen) has tried to chop the stem of the taller blue mushrooms. I bet if you slice right through you can chop them down. Maybe they will regenerate.

[Madchimpz]

What's with this people just waggling the control like a maniac?

[PsycoMikeo]

@Madchimpz

Bad Wii habit. They don't know how to use the controller like a real sword. They think that the direction of there swing doesn't matter. But, in this game, it dose. Look at this moron trying to fight the scorpion, he's getting his but handed to him because he's just waggling with no real focus on what he's doing. You have to slice in the direction the claws are open in order to hit them. Waggling like that only causes you to keep hitting the outside of the claw.

[Madchimpz]

@PsycoMikeo Did these idiots even watch the demonstration? Why are they even playing this game? And when they're seeing something doesn't work, they just continue doing the same thing.

[119matburn]

it made me mad thay did't say any thing about that art that got put up last year. im not alone am i?

[elgato8569]

@119matburn by the time they showed that pic, they only have some dungeons and gameplay nailed down a bit but not the art style it would have in the final product. The chick in that picture will be the Skyward Sword and will eventually become the Master Sword.

[EtherSalad]

You know I was really expecting alot from this game, but.... something is just striking wrong with me. The other games had EPIC plots, even games that werent liked as much as others, but with the mix of twilight princes and wind waker graphics... this looks more like a mini game added to the real game. And then theres the sword... Ok, awesome hes got the master sword. Since when does he hold it like a retard? I know its only to put more control in for the player, but ...Well, it had better work

[hobbes71002]

@EtherSalad

First, it isn't the Master Sword at this point. The Skyward Sword does turn into the Master Sword, but at this point, it's still the Skyward Sword. Second, The focus of this demo was to show how the controls work, not to give a scope of the game. If I were you, I would expect a game at least equal in scope to Wind Waker. Third, Link only holds the sword like a retard if you do. If you don't want him to look retarded, don't act retarded while playing the game :)

[generationfuture]

man i cant believe a new zeldas coming out.the bad thing thou is i have2 go to gamestop and by wii motion plus that caus 30-50...still havent herd anything bout kingdom hearts

[ProjectExodus]

@generationfuture In all likelihood there will be a bundle available for it at a cheaper price, like Red Steel 2.

[elgato8569]

I wonder why people at E3 conferences suck so bad when they play the demos. I mean, any of us who have experienced how the wiimote works would be able to pick it up in seconds. Anyways, it seems really tracks your hand movement 1:1. It's hard to believe that the Wii Sports Resorts's sword play was the key to make it happen. The thing I'm worried about is that after you use an item (a bomb), you have to select it again. They said the controls would be different as this was just a demo.

[PsycoMikeo]

@elgato8569

You don't have to select the item again. You just have to "tap" the B trigger to switch between your sword, and your currently selected item. Holding the B trigger down brings up the item select, you use that when you want a different item then the one you currently have selected.

[elgato8569]

@PsycoMikeo that would've been my first guess, but if you look closely, the bomb disappears from the selected item button (B button). Then again, I heard the that was not going to be the final version of the HUD and that you can remove it completely. They have plenty of time to listen to feedbacks from people and improve on many aspects. My issue was and that the bow should be on top so that the screen won't go like crazy when you first select it even with the reset button.

[Annoyforannoy]

I wanna play. 0.0

[raiton0523]

why does everyone point the wiimote straight up in the air? Link copies everything with the motion plus so it looks dumb running with a sword like its a torch

[elgato8569]

@raiton0523 @raiton0523 it's because he's charging into battle! It's like he's saying, " I'm going to rip you apart limb by limb!" or something. Now holding the sword up like that while riding on Epona"s back would be awesome! Btw, I miss Epona. I hope they didn't remove her.

[animeFR3AK227]

@raiton0523 agreed but idk...your torch comment made me lol maybe because they don't understand the whole "power up" thing were you can shoot the...erm "laser"(?) type thing out of the sword

[ettiebacilluschgi]

hmz Einsam heute wer ist bereit für bisl tel labern oda chat

[TheFishSnacks]

scorpion and stalfos in the demo do 2 heart damage. now THAT'S a zelda game

[vanschichi]

@TheFishSnacks i didnt notice that ,,, thats aswome !!! now there would be more challenging boss battles, i hope...

[kkkkkkkkkksora123]

the guy playing fuckin sucks lmao..

[awsomeposome89]

I have been a Zelda fan for a very long time, but these graphics look rather kiddish. I liked the dark, creepy, original look from Twilight Princess. This as of right now, does not seem to appealing to me.

[kkkkkkkkkksora123]

@awsomeposome89 they made tis zelda to look like a painting lol thats what they said. and although twilight princess was awesome looking, it was also very pixelated

[emptii94]

looks so good

[AznCiddo]

some people think that the graphics of this game suck JUST cuz it is cell-shaded

O_O

well i thought that the scorpian was pretty cool

and the reason for the cell shading is because Link is going to push big blocks of iron. if the graphics were TOO realistic then they would need to have Link have realistic human actions also and if he did, when he pushes that big block of metal or something, his face might as well puff up...XD and like turn red

:3

LOL

[kkkkkkkkkksora123]

@AznCiddo its not really much of cell shading o.o they made the game look more like a painting lol.

[keatonlink2]

@AznCiddo i really liked the scorpeon this game looks good i thought id hate loz SS at first but after a while i acculy started enjoying the game and im still playing it since a link to the past ive loved Zelda games it was the first one i played and since then ive tryed to complete every zelda game i own 100% the only ones im not done on is Loz PH and SS

[bluetube01]

@FalconCrestlover73 Mass amounts of people will be offended by the fact that you are offended about 'queer' comments. Offending people is something that cannot be avoided no matter what view you have.

[SuperMysticSonic]

I wonder if Nintendo will come up with some retarded controls and gimmicks for the next Zelda to pick up Rupees easier for new players and old! =DDDDDDD

C'mon, Nintendo. I don't wanna be stuck with doing the right "motions" for Link to fight, or be stuck with a bunch of little gimmicks for the rest of the game's fights and puzzles. Been impressed with EVERY first console Zelda impression, and this is the first that brings big doubts and no spectacular view. Hope this'll be better than it looks.

[Coolieoh49]

I really hope they re-use a heat protected tunic/armor. that was actually fun to have 3 tunics that all had a power unlike twilight princess where you only have 2. the 3rd is just a rupee drainer. And i hope they have a water based temple where you can swim freely like in TP.

[Vandelay16]

WHST THE FUCK!!! WE CAN'T ROLL? 

[glem3]

@Vandelay16 You can. You roll by dashing and then shaking the nunchuck.

[Vandelay16]

@glem3 That's too much work, I just wanna press A. :(

[glem3]

@Vandelay16 Then play any other Zelda game. Plus, why would you want to roll when you can dash with A anyway?

[SuperNEKO64]

A lot of people is complaining about how Link looks. Does anyone remember the first time you saw Wind Waker style? You can't tell that game wasn't epic.

[525058]

@FalconCrestlover73

Well, "normal" is only what the majority says. If I was in...Japan, and everyone says that Mario is better than Kingdom Hearts, that is what is considered normal, I guess. Likewise, KH could be better than Mario in the USA, which would be normal there. But we all know that Mario tops everyone, on the inside. XD

[IggyFLOP88]

Yesterday I didn´t like the look of the game!

But today I gotta say it looks pretty especially in 720 p resolution, I just hope the finished game looks even better!

[Johnnymushio]

@IggyFLOP88 wii is not capable of 720p resolution FYI

[Duckyhunter]

I can't begin to explain how disappointing this looks.

[Goatseeee]

This guy sucks at playing

[Cecilff2]

This player turned link into

"LEEEEEROOOOOOOOOOOY JEEEEENKIIIIINSSSSSSS"

[MrAnonymous406]

The game play looks awesome link is faster and he can actually dash

[stratisfire]

Lol it's like these people didn't see the press conference because miyamoto said to hold it like a sword

[ChaosLord121]

Stop waggling.

[KevboardGames]

no the problem on the conference was that they didnt reset the wii-motion plus :D 

[Johnnymushio]

STOP WAGGLING THE REMOTE, damn people. everyone at e3 did this

[Bravestarr85]

Dont like the kiddie style graphiks. imho it looks like banjo and kazooie for the N64 :(

[djwienk]

how do you get in the e3 ? :S

[SlamDunkStudios]

You can the GoNintendo crew in the background! :)

[SonicShenmue]

When I saw this guy using the bow I asked myself whether he played WSR :P

And waggling doesn`t seem to cut it here in sword-fight either ;)

Still much appreciated video!

[brendonnelly]

So many damned games i want!

[misanthropiclusion]

its my idea or its WAY to shinny? and yeah links looks like a retard with a sword :(

[525058]

@FalconCrestlover73

And queer isn't offensive, people just use it to be offensive. Queer means weird or not normal. It doesn't mean "gay" or "faggot" or anything like that.

[525058]

@FalconCrestlover73

Take away the queer comment, Are you with me now?

[MarvLink]

OMG has that guy never played a videogame? Let alone a Zelda game? He doesn't know about targeting and it's really annoying to see Link walk around with his sword pointing forward :/

[zeldafanboy23ify]

@MarvLink Well he was better then Miyamoto right.

[MarvLink]

@zeldafanboy23ify Nah. Miyamoto was obviously having signal issues. I could tell from the beginning. Read the impressions everywhere. The controls are spot on. This guy's just stupid.

[zeldafanboy23ify]

@MarvLink LOL, true that, but the game looks fun though, cant wait for it to come out :)

[heroofspirits]

@MarvLink makin link look like a noob. I DONT LIKE :(

[ZeldaHearts2010]

@MarvLink, he's probably an adult from Japan who never plays video games, I think.

[TheCongressman1]

The guy won't lock on... He could have done much better if he had. lol Oh well.

[525058]

First off, anyone who dislikes Zelda:SS is either a queer, or just doesn't like Zelda (what's the difference?).

The gameplay looks fluid, Link seems to be able to hack and slash without end until he gets hit. Link looks pretty retarded, holding his sword in the air constantly. Then again, that is probably how he gets his sword beams anyway.

[Tumarilink2]

@525058 I think the sword thing is more how the player holds wii remote. but honestly, Link does look kinda lame like that haha

[EpicPlaythroughs]

@525058 He's only holding the sword in the air constantly because of how the player is holding the wii remote.

[Johnnymushio]

@EpicPlaythroughs EXACTLY, no one seems to be able to grasp that concept

[525058]

@Johnnymushio

EVERYONE graps the concept dude. It is just funny to make fun of Link. This is the FIRST time he has held his sword like that for a duration of over 5 seconds. We all know that the Motion+ makes Link match your movements. >_<

[Johnnymushio]

@525058 then why does everyone waggle with the motion + attached? dont pick a fucking argument with me for the sake of argument

[525058]

@Johnnymushio

Waggle? Who is arguing in the first place? Your comment just conveyed to me that you are either ignorant or just plain retarded.

[Johnnymushio]

@525058 what to do when proven wrong and backed into a corner. ohh call them ignorant and retarded. bravo. im sure you will waggle your way though the game. have fun

[525058]

@Johnnymushio

I honestly cannot tell what you mean by "waggle". I was so proven wrong by your statement, what I said earlier clearly didn't have anything to do with yours. Stop complaining, go somewhere.

[525058]

@Johnnymushio

Again, if you still don't understand, what you previously said had NOTHING to do with what I said. Stop being a minitroll and get somewhere in life, alright? Or, you could just watch the video instead of commenting, it is a plus everywhere. + for me because I won't be blinded by your cloud of ignorance, and a + for you because you could use that typing energy and workout or something.

[Johnnymushio]

@525058 get somewhere in life - im a graduate student, work out or something - i work out 4 times a week. there you go with you namecalling again.

[525058]

@Johnnymushio

There will never be anyway for me to confirm this. And vice versa for you, no matter what I may say, I could be perceived as a kindergartner with the mindset of a 14 year old, or a 14 year old with the mindset of an 18 year old. Whatever the case may be, I'll just forget about this, because I have NO idea what this is all about.

[Johnnymushio]

@525058 dont know why your so interested

[HeroOfWinds007]

@525058

the only people I know that dont like it are dikes who think the graphics "suck" complain about the models being high poly, and that the textures are "1x1" and overall say that graphics matters more then gaemplay

[Naikorasu]

@525058 That's not a very nice thing to say. I happen to have gay friends that really like Zelda. >:(

[OgnarPliskin]

@525058 He's just gathering sunlight. It's not retarded when Django does it in Boktai, is it?

[HollyHimeko]

@525058 Nothing wrong with being queer.

[525058]

@HollyHimeko

Unless "queer" is VERY different from the norm. Stop spamming me with lowlife responses, not only was it a joke, but I refined what I previously said to FalconCrestlover73.

[HollyHimeko]

@525058 Well for starters I don't read every comment on a youtube video, as I have better things to do, and lowlife? That's a little harsh considering your joke wasn't all that funny. And what's wrong with being weird? Really, there is no reason to get so excited over nothing.

[525058]

@HollyHimeko

Bah, I'm wasting my time here. There isn't anything "wrong" with being weird, it just isn't generally accepted. You should understand this by now. A joke is supposed to be funny, you are obviously taking it to be offensive/harsh. Somehow I tend to be the only one flamed for jokes like that, while several million others exist on the Internet.

[aiwnir]

@525058 I'm gay and love Zelda: SS and all things Zelda, so learn some new words for the jackass haters out there... Like Cunt-face or Ass-tard... =)

[ThatIncredibleJordan]

@aiwnir are you a fairy queen?!!!!!

[jaf207gamingvids]

@aiwnir does your lap dog like it to

[bluetube01]

@525058 Link doesn't have to hold his sword up constantly, that is done by the player. But I think holding your sword in the air to power it up is amazing. When I play Skyward Sword, I am going to hold aloft my magic sword and say, "By the Power of Greyskull! I HAVE THE POWEEEEERRRRRRRR!!!!!!!" :)

[525058]

@bluetube01

Thanks for the nostalgia burst, man. I remember Greyskull from somewhere, but i don't recall where! Agh, my brain hurts. I'm thinking He-Man, or Thundercats, but I am most likely wrong with both.

[bluetube01]

@525058 It's from He-Man :)

[525058]

@bluetube01

Yes, I just KNEW it was from He-Man! That was, by far, the best cartoon on Toonami, and where ever else it aired!

[MatzeW92]

@525058 well, I AM a queer, and I adore Zelda, so I do not get your point... But thanks for your wonderfully intelligent comment. We really need more intellectual people like you on YT! Thank you very much.

[525058]

@MatzeW92

Whether that was a compliment or not, it doesn't really matter.

[keatonlink2]

@525058 i kinda agree with you on the always holding the sword in the air part and spirit tracks was a good game some of the people playing probly just couldent get the hang of the dark trains and gave up

[e1yk]

@525058 i think the solution to the "retarded" sword holding is be REALLY getting into the game and put the sword (wiimote) held horisantilly (however u spell it) so it looks like his original pose

[studmuffffffin]

Looks good and the controls look fine. Link looks like an idiot with his sword like that though.

[celshader97]

I dunno, it still looks pretty shoddy to me. also, I didn't bother to watch the entire travesty, but it looked like theres no attack rolling?

[Tumarilink2]

@celshader97 there is. while sword is sheathed, you tap A to roll and hold A to sprint

[AliceinNirvanagarden]

8:58

Wah!

Link Can jump off walls!

[DAYSandMONTHS]

TP W/ Cel Shading+Motion Plus confirmed!!!!!

[DavetzWin]

Why is the guy playing so bad? He wouldn't last 10 seconds on a game like Demon Souls.

[tiolocmcgrock]

@DavetzWin The game is still in beta, so the sync between the controls and the wii aren't that good. You can tell by watching Miyamoto using the bow at the Nintendo conference.

[hobbes71002]

@tiolocmcgrock

The problem during the conference was caused by the hundreds of electronic devices in the audience giving off Infrared Light. The Wii Motionplus uses the Infrared Lights on the sensor bar to periodically ensure that it is calibrated correctly. So it got confused by seeing all the Infrared coming out of the audience.

[HeroOfWinds007]

@hobbes71002

maybe it was the LED cirque du soleil smocks

:)

[OgnarPliskin]

@hobbes71002 So all Ganon has to do is make a call to someone and Link can't move? Bam, conquered Hyrule.

[Madchimpz]

@hobbes71002 It really sucks that so many people got a bad impression of the game from that demonstration...

[AliceinNirvanagarden]

@tiolocmcgrock All that interference was actually due to the infared in the audience. With all of the devices in the theater using infared, it undoubtedly caused interference.

[SpiritSprouts]

The guy in the video is terrible, just waves the wiimote around when he's fighting against the scorpion. I thought the scenery looked very fun and explorable when the bug flew up in the air and gave a good view of everything!

[strongo25]

Lol, the guy playing sucks, he holds the sword high in the air like some loser.

[Lazerjo2000]

oh awesome!

I beat twilight princess and now I dont have any games for my wii that I really want

so a new zelda will be awesome!
