**While this doesn't contain any spoilers, I'd still recommending AVOIDING THE TOPIC if you wanna start the game blind.**

http://www.nintendodaily.org/2011/10/17/new-skyward-sword-info/

German press got some time with the final build. I've paraphrased some interesting bits:

- Like in OoT, you buy your first shield. Wooden shield for 50 Rupees
- Link has a Hero's Bag for storing shields and potions
- The bag starts with only four slots but can be upgraded to eight
- Item menu has slots for pearls and slates, hinting at the dungeon completion crap
- Item menu confirms that Link will have an instrument (a harp omfg)
- Some bird enemies poop on Link's head from above. Yes, really.
- Skyloft is the biggest Zelda town ever, bigger than Clock Town
- Transitioning to/from Skyloft is a snap. No 80% sailing.
- Dowsing is helpful but doesn't break the game or anything
- Swordplay works fine but will take some practice to master

Video showcasing some new footage:

game of the year


I kinda wonder if the swordplay will actually benefit from motion controls or not. Specifically, the whole "look for an opening and attack" with the right swing.

Played the demo at Comic Con. Wasn't very impressed. The primary enemy in the dungeon is impossible to hit or defeat. There's a weakspot that can't be accessed unless you do something specific and I had no clue how, and there was no instruction, Motion control is also completely unnecessary.

I just noticed that Link still holds his bow with a left handed orientation. What the hell.

I'm still not feeling this at all, never felt so pessimistic about a Zelda game before. Its probably the controls, just hugely skeptical about those.

I'm probably the biggest wii remote hater on this board and think it has ruined countless games and I'm still on board with this, 90% sure it will be significantly better than WW and TP(questionable how much of an accomplishment that is but hey)

In every video I've seen they have no problem defeating him. You must just suck!

To me the only negative news is that there are a pretty small number of equipable items. These items are upgradeable so I'm hoping there are some damn good upgrades

"Nintendo just doesn't get it" - YoBlazer about Skyward Sword about a month ago


Several months ago. I started getting excited at this year's E3; the game looked much better. Until then, the only exposure we had was the 2010 unveiling, and everyone was down on it after that.

It almost certainly means more use per item, which was one of the more common complaints with TP (all of the later items were hardly used outside of their dungeons). Also, Double Clawshots are on the menu again, so they're headed in the right direction at least. I hope they'll have something as cool as the Spinner.

In other words, you expected it to be a cakewalk like the past two games.

- Skyloft is the biggest Zelda town ever, bigger than Clock Town


this is encouraging, but how deep will it be? it's going to be hard to have a town more engaging than Clock Town

Well they said they're making Skyloft to be like Clock Town, so sounds good.
