Spoiler Game Informer Scans

[Xinnamin]

So to compliment the huge list of info already leaked from the Game Informer magazine, the actual scans of the SS portion of the magazine have been put up.

http://www.zeldadungeon.net/2011/09/full-game-informer-scans-reveal/

There are some pretty awesome new screenshots in this issue, including several things we've never seen before. So even if you already memorized the list of info already, the images themselves are worth a look at these scans.


EDIT: One of the image captions caught my eye. Said that "Skyward Sword uses a beautiful visual filter where the farther in the background an area is, the more it appears as an impressionistic painting."

It's not anything we don't already really know, but something about that just really makes me happy.

EDIT2: A_LINK_IN_TIME graciously pointed out the cool little quote on the first page of the scans, hence the poll. Feel free to discuss that too.

Too prevent any confusion that may arise, the rectangular shield in the fifth scan from the top is not a new shield, as I found out earlier today. It's really the Iron Shield, which has been confirmed to appear in the game.

I just noticed that one of the pictures shows link in some desert environment, but his sword seems longer than normal. I assume that it's been upraged to some sort of "Long Sword Skyward Sword" version etc. Glad to see we can upgrade the sword as well! This shows how we upgrade it gradually until it's in a final, super sword, most probably the Master Sword.

Game Informer Scans Lead to New Catch Phrase

If you've seen the Game Informer scans: http://www.zeldadungeon.net/2011/09/full-game-informer-scans-reveal/#comments what do you think of them? Also are you pumped about the phrase "A Link to the Past, A Step to the Future"?

I don't think it will become a patented phrase for the game necessarily. I really think it'll just be something for the magazine article. But, who knows, maybe Nintendo will take it and use it on the back of the case.

I really think that's just the camera angle...

We've known that for quite some time.

Anybody have seen that these Mogmas are saying that they saw "guys in red", we'll going to have more than one villain!, at least I think...

Ghirahim already suggested that there are others with him, so that is definitely the case. I'm assuming these "guys in red" are each "dark interlopers". Also, this seems to suggest that they all wear the same types of cloaks. That diamond pattern. With that, I would think that takes out any kind of connection with Ghirahim and a sword theory.

It could be the camera angle, but if you look at the indent of the sword, it doesn't end near the tip, the tip of the sword has been extended. Probably it's been upgraded. Also, in the footage with Mr. Miyamoto, when Link is using the bug net, the sheath on his back is blue and slightly longer.

So these "Dark Interlopers" are working at the same time, together to find Zelda?

Of course. They're a group, so naturally they work together.

Yeah, but I only learned that today and wanted to clear that up for anyone else who mistook it.
