Welcome to a life-changing experience known as my analysis of the new Zelda Wii U demo shown at Geoff Keightly's Lame Awards (got that one? It was subtle. Might miss it the first time around.) I'll be dissecting every part of this magnificent meaty beast of a demo. You go into this analysis an...

LOL There is no way that is actually in Ocarina of Time. That seems pretty 'out there' for a Nintendo game. xD

Well, that sucks. I'm honestly surprised that Nintendo would go to VGX for the first time for Donkey Kong. I know, Donkey Kong is releasing soon and they want to build up hype but the fact is that the main audience that actually watches VGX are not really potential customers for that game...

Honestly, I think it's gonna be the most massive Zelda game to date, and will likely have graphics based off the tech demo to some extent. It's the exact game Nintendo needs right now to help prove the Wii U is a system worth getting, and a Skyward Sword or Wind Waker art style will simply not...

http://mynintendonews.com/2013/12/03/reggie-to-present-new-look-at-wii-u-game-at-spike-vgx-awards/ "VGX will also feature Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime presenting a new look at an upcoming Wii U game. Additional exclusives to be revealed shortly." This is also Nintendo's...

The beginning of Majora's Mask will always be the most nostalgic thing for me, as it was my introduction the series. When I was really young, I would watch my brother play Majora's Mask and I was immediately entranced by the surreal and trippy introduction to the game. I would also try to play...

Just completed Stone Tower Temple and good lord is this dungeon confusing. Sadly, Twinmold is such an easy conclusion to an otherwise frustratingly difficult (yet still very rewarding) dungeon. It's a shame the Stone Mask only gets it's one use here, would have been cool to see more done with it.

I agree completely. I'm playing through Majora's Mask right now, and I'm still consistently surprised with how expansive and how much variety there is to the game's world. Imagine that, only done with the Wii U hardware. That would be my ideal Zelda world.

I really hope they go for the Majora's Mask type, only deeper. I mean, with the power of the Wii U and also what is now 13 years since that game, imagine what kind of side stories they could make. The possibilities are endless.

Wow, phenomenal score! Wish I had a 3DS, but hopefully I will eventually.

I definitely think Twilight Princess is probably the best amount of realism there should be. It's realistic while also remaining the fantasy-style of the other games.

I think in the end the art style should be based upon whatever the game's feeling is going for. If it's a more serious game, go for a realistic art style and if it is a more light-hearted adventure, go for a cartoonish style. Based on personal preference, however, I would very much like to see a...

I agree with everything pretty much except for a fairy companion. We really don't need a fairy companion again, we've already had one for a couple of games. Something new would be much preferred.

I seriously fell in love with the Forest Temple theme during my recent playthrough of OoT mainly because it's really the only one that truly stuck with me. I constantly found myself humming the song over and over again, both while playing the game and not playing the game. It's just such a cool...

I'm not sure why people are so upset about this. This kind of thing has been essentially confirmed since it was first announced. The first ever gameplay we got of the game was of what was pretty much a mixed-up, redone version of a dungeon in ALttP.

I really like the title, much better than a simple "A Link to the Past 2." That would have been boring and not very Zelda-like. I can't wait for some story details, would love to see how they explain how it all ties together.

I'm sure we'll get some good cutscenes, but I wonder if they'll use the in-game models or create whole new ones for the cinematics.

Why are people so upset about the top-down style? That's where Zelda is at it's best in my opinion. I love the 3D games, but the 2D top-down ones are just as good and some of them are actually far superior to certain 3D Zeldas. Plus, what's the point in having a console-style 3D Zelda when its...

This is looking absolutely AWESOME so far. I love the look of the game, definitely a modern interpretation of A Link to the Past's graphics. I also think the whole "turning into a drawing thing" is gonna make the game really unique and unlike most Zelda games, which I find being a good thing...

Indeed. It was one of the greatest experience in my life as a video game player. It didn't top Majora's Mask for me, but that's because topping that game is nearly impossible, haha. Amazing game. Absolutely incredible.

The thing is that Skyward Sword's ratings will never be balanced. There will be those that hate it, and those that love it. This is to be expected from a game that changes up the formula. There will always be people that prefer the old system, and that's why we got a game like Twilight Princess...

My shield only broke twice, so I never minded it.

Ghirahim. One of the best villains EVER to be in a Zelda game. His ending was fantastic.

Guess so. And don't worry, that post was not directed towards you, it was towards anyone who does let reviews effect their overall experience. Not sure if you even thought it was directed towards you, but just clarifying in case.

It doesn't matter about Game of the Year, 10/10s, 5/5s, #1 Game or whatever award. It's about YOU. What do you think of the game? Why does it matter what THEY think?

I firmly believe that Nintendo leaked it themselves to generate more hype.

They pretty much had to choose between doing a large, TP-type Hyrule, or a smaller, SS-type Hyrule. Can't have TP Hyrule with SS content, the Wii would not be able to store all that data. That's why I think that with Wii U Zelda, we'll be seeing a large Hyrule field like TP, but packed with...

That's why ZI shouldn't post them in the first place.

Since when was a 9 bad? In fact, a nine is pretty fantastic!

This is sort of a Zelda fansite, so I'm guessing a majority if not all responses will be Zelda being the better one.

I've highlighted the things in your post that either just plain didn't make sense or you didn't explain enough of. Not sure what your thought process was when writing this post...

I never said I didn't like the game, I simply listed the things I found wrong with it. Sure, I much prefer many other Zelda games over TP, but TP is still a pretty good game with it's fair share of problems. Couldn't say I agree with you on that one. I personally found the soundtrack to be...

That was a given. Technically, you can start the Wind Temple, but if you want to finish it you have to go to the Earth Temple. Now, I may be wrong considering it's been years since I've played WW. Not sure what you mean by "it's about fun factor" when I listed the things I didn't like. Those...

By driving force, I pretty much meant there was no innovation to the standard Zelda formula to keep me going. I thought the wolf sections were a bit too lengthy actually, and there was far to many of them. And by linear, I meant story wise. You had to do this to get here, and then you have to do...

Fair enough. I personally hated how linear the game was, how you were forced to go through those wolf sections. I would have much preferred if they were either shorter or optional. And yeah, I guess you could go around on your horse fighting all day if you wanted to, but I would have liked it if...

I don't completely understand why people always bring out the "overhyped" card. Sure there was a lot of hype. It had a lot to live up to. But it wasn't a bad game because people expected to much from it and got less, it's because it just wasn't a brand new Zelda game with new gameplay...

Those two may have been unique, but they weren't fun. And the horse combat was greatly underused, as good as it was. It had an unmemorable soundtrack, bland graphics, mostly uncreative dungeon themes (except for City in the Sky and Twilight Temple), no innovative driving force behind the game...

Eventually, people will have nostalgia for Skyward Sword.

I believe each area will have it's own overworld, and each individual province will connect to the other areas in the province.

I want Majora's Mask Tingle, not Wind Waker Tingle.

Seems like just architecture in the lava. You see things resembling that "monster" all around the temple.

He's just being a gentleman, and showing his respect.

They said it would be more divided, but it would still be in the game.

Loving the fact that you say it like its a fact. Opinions are opinions, a majority prefer the new graphics. In my opinion, SS's graphics are creative and very original.

Really? People even brought up those riders from my picture too?

In the beginning of the bird riding ceremony from E3, you can see three bird riders. Notice what they're wearing? Tunics. Perhaps this is why Link gets one, because all professional bird riders get one, or something of the sort. And he gets this most likely before his flies down to get Zelda...

......... Seriously, ANOTHER one of these? I thought we were past this...

Nope, never said it would be shorter. Dense doesn't mean short. A common misconception. All evidence points to a longer game, with them even saying it has so much content that Miyamoto and Aonuma haven't even finished it yet.

Probably 50 hrs or so, like TP.

No problem, I had similar thoughts when I first found out the definition.
