The Complete Introduction of Skyward Sword With Translation
Posted on October 06 2011 by Connor
A few weeks ago, we got a glimpse of the introduction of the Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. This time, the full introduction of Skyward Sword was offically released by Nintendo. Unlike the Spanish version of the intro, the video is clear to see, and we are able to see more of the intro. There is one slight problem, the introduction is completely in Japanese. However, thanks to the folks over at Gamefaqs, we now have a translation of the video. However, the translation is worded differently to the Spanish version. Let’s hope Nintendo will release a final translation of the intro sometime soon. The video below contains major story elements, so if you don’t want to be spoiled, don’t press that read more button. If you want to see the video and translations, then feel free to make the jump at your own risk.
…It was an unprecedented war so terrifying and vehement that its likes would never be seen again…
All of a sudden the earth split, and evil beings made their appearance…
They stole away the smiles of all those living on the ground
These evil beings burned the forests, dried the lakes and murdered the people in their path
Their objective was what was protected by that lady… The “almighty power” protected by the goddess
The almighty power… That was
A heritage from the gods, said to grant any wish or desire
The ultimate power, inherited by the goddess from the forefathers of ancient times…
In order to protect the almighty power from the evil beings
She took the surviving humans on board and raised the land to the heavens…
To a place far from where the hands of evil can reach… On the other side of the sea of
clouds, to the high limits of the sky
And so the goddess and the others wagered their lives, fighting in order to seal the evil…
The land once more regained its days of stillness…
This is a story recited and passed down by you, humans…
However inside of this story, numerous legends lay hidden
And now, the door of a new legend about to be spun is waiting to be opened,
…by your hands…
So now we hopefully know of the origins of Skyloft. The land below was in fact inhabited by people, and that the “almighty power” was lifted into the heavens, along with the land’s people. This gives us speculation that when Ghirahim attacks Skyloft, he has found the place that houses the almighty power and uses that power to resurrect his master.
What are your thoughts? Do you think Skyloft will eventually return to the land below? With this in mind, how do you think Zelda is connected to Ghirahim’s plan? If he is looking for the almighty power, why do you think Ghirahim is after Zelda’s holiness? Tell us what you think and be sure to stay tuned.
