That was not WiiU footage of any Zelda. That was tech demo similar to the spaceworld demo all those moons ago.

i've never played a Wii Motion + game before but shooting the bow like a read one looks pretty cool. Better than pointing at the screen.

What did you call me?
Anyways you are correct, I was just copying what all the website were calling it, but that makes more sense and is way cooler sounding. In any event I just hope its fun to play, has some bitchen melodies to go along with it and plays a worthwhile role in the gameplay.

It's intentional. This is like the adult link version of Wind Waker, and I didn't like Wind Waker, so I probably won't pick this up.
I still remember when this game was teased as a game where Link didn't have his sword, and now the game is called Skyward Sword >.>;
Ah well, there's always the Wii U...

Not sure if serious. Also, just because it has a sort of WW feel, does not mean that it will be like WW. Who knows, you could love it. Oh well.

Oh man, that would be cool. I like that kind of stuff as well.
Being able to take screenshots in-game and then transfer them to the 3DS would be an actual genius use of the ability for the Wii and 3DS to communicate wirelessly.
And even at that, it could just write them to the SD in the Wii and then you put it in the 3DS to view them or upload it to one of those 3D picture sites.
If that's an actual feature of the game, hopefully Microsoft lets the next Halo take 3D screenshots when viewing a film <_<

The camera should have the ability to just automatically send the pictures to the guy to develop them (if they're successful shots), and ditch the whole 3 picture limit altogether.
RagnarokX said:
You'll have to upgrade the camera like everything else in the game.
The first camera you have holds one picture and requires Link to set up a tripod:
The one in the screenshot is the "Polaroid" upgrade.
The last camera upgrade is a cellphone that you can also use to call your bird.

I'm not so sure that's film.
But when compared to this, it does look like that thing could be a camera.

Ha! Call your bird!

I'm really digging how this Sky/Forest/whatever dungeon isn't just an obvious environmental set piece like most other dungeons. Hopefully the other dungeons in the game follow suit and we won't be stuck with another game full of obvious Fire and Water and Ice dungeons.Jzero15 said:

You forgot to mention that the cell phone upgrade requires link to sell his 3DS and adopt a pessimistic outlook. Everything comes at a cost.

Aounuma merely said there would be parts in the game where Link doesn't have his sword which would be referring to the silent realm in the game.
I still liked the theory of Link wielding a floating sword. It made sense since 1:1 motion tracking looks janky. But Nintendo obviously didn't go in that route.
Upgrading jewelry wouldn't be a first for Zelda.Sn4ke_911 said:
He's probably inferring that based on the first artwork we saw of the game, which was Link without a sword and Phi. People almost immediately made the correct assumption based on Phi's appearance that she was the Master Sword and soon there was fan art of Link swinging Phi at enemies by her legs.Mr. Saturn said:

I really should do this too. I already know more than I would like. Not sure I have the willpower, though.Jackano said:Came here to say goodbye SS's threads, two month before release, I start my blackout to be able to enjoy the game without major spoilers.
See you in december after my playtrought, enjoy the next Legend of Zelda, GAF!

I saw a video of the Demon Lord boss fight. He animates very, very nicely. The way he stretches out his hand to catch your sword is fantastic and I also like how his eyes follow you even as you run behind him. I do have problems with the game already as I can already see where they are going with the difficulty and it is just not there. His attack patterns are disappointing to say the least. It is unfortunate because I could totally see how they could make it a much more fun boss fight. He charging slash should be unblockable(or maybe blockable only at the last second, parry style) and not be an easy way to get a bunch of hits in. He should safely attack or lunge after back-dashing or teleporting. And yeah, players have way too many hearts. The person I saw could make like 7 mistakes in a row, gets hearts from jars, and still be okay(way fewer hearts would add tension to getting hearts from jars). Combine this with how slow the combat is(long moments where no one is doing anything or Link can run around doing nothing) and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It could improve greatly as the game goes on(after all he is only "testing" you it seems), but I severely doubt it given the series's history.
I want them to make a hard mode to really push the systems they are adding to the limits.
