I can believe this I suppose since TSA didn't like him, if I recall correctly, but actually said that he just found him rather cheesy and unbelievable, although admitted that many people would probably gobble up his insanity.
I hope to gobble.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Like seriously, BELIEVE MY WORDS. I know I'm often hyperboling but...
The dungeon design, the music, the art direction, the controls, the graphics... everything is perfect. This is without a single fucking doubt my GotY. This is THE ONLY GAME THIS YEAR that doesn't disappoint in any way, shape or form.

I agree. I didn't feel like the opening was a chore like Twilight Princess, but more like me getting connected to the characters. It made my adventure all the more substantial.
I did one choice, then the other....And now I can't decide although the result is the same in all cases
Orgo crying in Hergo's room :lol
Wait, what?Ok, my game currently clocks 62 hours and I now have a near 100% savegame on Hero Mode.
I'd say it was well worth the money. I'm sure I will replay it next year.
No don't answer! I have a 6 hearts save to plan to do already!
And I already know that the 3rd boss will be a bitch with 6 hearts :lol
That will be getting some mileage I tell you!
Isn't this the most giffable Zelda yet?
I think my Tv is actually smaller than my DS and I have no problem.
DO IT
There's also the relationship with the girl that I'm starting to feel bad about since it's pretty clear that Link is supposed to have Zelda and not play around like that...
I actually never thought I'd actually post a thing like about Zelda ever.
edit : woa neoneogaf is awesome and the multiquote means I don't have to abuse the tabs!
I'd have to agree, I bought Skyrim last saturday on a whim (didn't plan to) and after playing it for 15 hours last week my anticipation for Zelda had dropped enormously and I saw Skyrim as being my GOTY, I booked off Friday for skyward sword but imagined myself leaving Zelda for the evening and spending all day in Skyrim.
However, once I opened my amazon order and opened the Zelda box, I needed to play this game, and I haven't looked back since. 18 hours in and loving the game, it is beautiful to look at and listen to considering it is on the less console, it is the most attractive game I have played all year.

My Skyward Sword is ready.
My Skyward Sword is ready.
Beware the game is not as easy as it looks.
It's actually significantly harder than pretty much all 3D Zelda bar Majora's Mask and Master Quest.
Well I couldn't resist,even though i'm starting to get deep into Skyrim,playing DCUO and bought a copy of AC Revelations last week,went to Zeller's and saw the game,49 bucks and I could easily put this on the Zeller's credit,so yeah,got it...what gamer with a Wii can resist getting this game day one anyway hehe

Picking it up today but won't be able to really play it until Tuesday I'm thinking. So excited to get this game, first Zelda I've been excited about since Wind Waker.
I wouldn't call it an easy play through tbh, I have died more times in this Zelda than any Zelda i have played since the nes days. I blame my own skills regarding sword combat, rather than blaming the motion controls, but I died a few times on the first boss and had to use a couple of shield and health potions on the third. First time in ages i've been stocking up on potions in a zelda game.

Upc? Like barcode? Yes there is a barcode with numbers on the back of the cardboard box.
Where do you find Monster's Claws, anyway? I kind of broke my shield and I'd like to get a better one, but I need the claws for that.
(What's with the Zelda games and giving you a wooden shield for fire monsters, anyway?)

Can someone clear something up for me?
Other than Skyloft, are there other towns or outposts to visit? I mean, part of the fun of Zelda is visiting unique villages and towns like Kakariko or the Goron village.

Bats hit them down dont send them flying of the edge lol
Huh? You're in the 2nd area correct? The Iron shield should have been available to you in Skyloft's bazar
No other town. But there are others "species" that you can interact with. And some areas could be considered an outpost I guess.
Biggest news of disappointment to me so far.....ugh. But I guess SS takes place in a time period before there was much civilization.

For all the Minish Cap influence this has, it really sucks that they didn't include any
special moves like those you learned from the tiger scrolls

I'll be posting impressions throughout my play-through, and I will keep them as spoiler-free as possible.

SS is the gamiest (3D) Zelda yet. There's no world to get lost in, which is my only gripe so far... if that's even a gripe. I don't think it is, seeing as some of the best games ever (read: SMG1/2) are gamey games through and through. I definitely want the next Zelda to return to building these deep, exciting worlds like Termina or the Great Sea again (in before Great Sea haters), but for now, I'm happy with this more tightly developed version of "Hyrule".

Its more like Zelda MM with one big town and some living around it
Guess I just have to play it to really know. But how is it any different? They are both there for the same reason, they probably take about the same amount of time too... and I doubt the cutscenes and dialogue are done that much better (personally feel like they might be more annoying... this whole Zelda games seems a lot more "anime like").
Oh... the special edition only comes with the remote... kind of a bummer.

So there's no real overworld then to explore? Just dungeon zones?

That is an awesome cover for game informer!!Pics!!!!!!
Have to say that the game gets better as you go on, as in : a LOT. I'm on my way to the third temple now and it's been really fun. The pre dungeon areas are getting way better and larger, the
really feels as if you're playing a dungeon out in the open.
If I compare this to the opening hours and everything leading up to the first temple... It's like a world of difference.

Cutscenes and dialogue were much better imo. Twilight Princess had you do so many pointless task, and none of them really had me connected to the characters. The tutorial in this felt much better to me.

Yep, no overworld, nothing to explore. Just the boring town of Skyloft and the dungeons on the surface.
I agree with this. I was pretty disappointed with the game up until the third dungeon and beyond, it has improved a lot since then.
Definetly worth it especially if your Wii is hookep up to a big screen HDTV(plasma or LCD)

So when I put the game in its telling me to do a system update. As someone who hacked their Wii to play Xenoblade will this update brick my system or is the the same one I already have (4.3U)?

Picked up the Collector's Edition at K-Mart this morning (and got a 20 dollar gaming coupon). The guy in electronics was in the middle of building a cardboard display for the game.
Played for a little over an hour and a half and I'm just wrapping up all the tutorial stuff. Starting a little slow, but I've been enjoying the characterizations of Link and Zelda. Will probably try to clear a dungeon today, but for the most part I'm going to be saving my major game time for Thanksgiving weekend.

I cannot stand the third dungeon.
I must be one of the few people on this planet that genuinely liked SS intro.
Well, anyway, it feels right now like I've booted up a Metroid game instead of Zelda. [pretty late game spoilers I think?]
Thoughts on the 6th dungeon - pretty damn good. I'd rate it on par with the 4th dungeon at the moment. The boss was disappointing though. At least the dungeon item was a nice surprise (
).
While the 6th dungeon boss was meh
Oh and I have a question about shields. Is using them really necessary at all in this game? After my second shield burned down seconds after entering Eldin Volcano I just pushed on and never looked back. I might get one for the final battle, but right now I don't really see a point...

I found digging mitts underwhelming and basically useless, but at least that's fixed now, huh!
While the 6th dungeon boss was meh
(I really hoped for a new boss instead of Ghirahim rematch), the fight against Levias was really good. Not on par with the mechanical Buddha or the Medusa (I really can't remember their names right now, sorry), but still great

Surprisingly the game looks really good on my HD set! If you ever have played Epic Yarn on a HDTV, it's like that. The style hides the fact that this is a SD game very well. Also loving the draw distance making everything look like a painting from far away! :0
