Not many other developers have 5 years of development time to fine-tune the controls.

I'm debating whether or not to get Skyward, considering that I'm already invested in Skyrim.

So much of this, and more!
I swear, every single time I decide "to play for a bit" time just sinks in so badly.

SAME HERE!!! ARGHHH It's soooo slow
Look at this Tetra cosplay to pass time:
Okay this is adorable.
So what's this about installing the game to the hard drive? Is that even possible on the Wii?
Just done the 1st dungeon.

When you hit those goddess cubes, does it open up a new island in the sky or does it unveil a secret? I went to one of the islands that it marked, and there was a chandelier that I shook to get a heart piece. Was that the secret?

No, there are hidden treasure chests that activate when you hit a Goddess Cube. They glow purple when they're activated.
No. Each cube 'unlocks' a special chest, the ones that were black before. If you've unlocked one, it turns purple and you can open it.

I've been wondering this too.
I am absolutely loving this fourth dungeon. The
underground part with all the zombies blew my mind. Awesome.
No, he didn't. I thought you didn't want to know? Just keep playing the game.

So far I really like it, i finished the first dungeon. that boss fight was awesome! the mechanics they used there reminded me of sin and punishment or something, just slowed down.
seriously though, can the game just leave me the fuck alone and let me play it?! navi shows up seemingly in every room i go into, and I just want to explore and figure it out myself. I know monsters are scary! fuck off!

There's one boss that can be beaten by 2 different methods and acording to which one is used different type of swings are need to give him the coup de grace at the end of each cycle. But i hate it's character design, sweet stuff anyways.

Damn, I fell bad for annihilating him first try without getting hit much.
I was like "Uhm.. that's it?", then, later, I replayed him in Boss Rush Mode and got annihilated instead.
I guess I was just extremely lucky on my first try.

Well I finally got it. The gold on the LE box means this is going to look pretty on my shelf.
Suck on it, pirates!

1 hour in and the game definitely has that 'special' feeling about it. I had to tear myself away to watch Packers game.
The controls are seamless so far. I love the stamina bar and how it is used for all the different actions. Tested out the sword controls in the practice room and they were easy to pull off without any ridiculous over the top motions that would make the game otherwise embarrassing to play.
After the first conversation with
, anyone think
Edit - Damn, people are at the end boss already..Even with a midnight release, that is a tad concerning for its length. Did the game get released earlier this week somewhere and I missed it?

Me too. TD Packers!
The game was released earlier this week in Europe. They've been moaning/sighing/squealing about it since.

Loving the game so far as well,
I like how the game has physics, I haven't seen alot of Wii games do this.
I'm back at the forest temple, trying to retrieve the Fresh Water for the Water Dragon

Well it's finally over!
Dunno bro, I needed six tries to kill him. Maybe it's not that difficult but it's a tough fight
now it's ending time!

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?
What the HELL is going on with this game?
Why does it keep getting so much better and better?! STOP IT NINTENDO, STOP WITH THE GOD DAMN SORCERY!

I had a lot of trouble throughout the last sequence, and almost all of the trouble came from either not understanding what I even needed to do in order to deal damage, or from struggling with the controls trying to get them to do what I want (
shield parry -> thrust was really hard for me to get going; it'd always do a spin attack instead
Nooooooooooooooooooo.... the injustice!
super early impressions, not even headed to the surface yet.
- Zelda looks like Cate Blanchett
- Link looks like he's had collagen implants in his lips and just looks odd
- Groose is Biff Tannen. Tempted to start a new save game and call my character 'McFly'
- way, WAY too much hand holding early on. I'm walking up to a box which is clearly lying on some 'push me' ground, clearly marked differently to grass, so I walk up to it ready to push it, so I can get to higher ground. 'Hey' - here comes a pointless chat where someone tells me I can push objects blah blah. Yes I know. At least give me a short time to figure that out and then give me a hand. Jeez.
Just before I head down to the surface though, how do I get to

Beedle's airship? Sounds like I need to launch something on the bell, I was thinking slingshot but I can't find it anywhere. Really want the bug net.

I might've missed something super obvious but uhh ... how does one backflip?
Hold Z, walk backwards and press A.

Oh..targeting? No wonder I couldn't figure it out, I really target a lot less than I should, I'm more of a freestyle fighter.

Anyone else have trouble

flying? Seems like every 5 seconds, the camera looks down, the bird flaps its wings, and I can't see where I'm going.
You need it to strafe too. Very useful against larger enemies.

Water Dragon is an asshole
Edit: Oh, also a quick question to those who finished the game.
You start the Hero Mode with three hearts, right? I tried keeping myself as spoiler-free as possible but that somehow slipped into my sight. Would that mean that if you do a 100% run you end up with 17 heart containers? A simply yes/no will suffice

Jesus, this game is amazing. I only have a few gripes with it, but it's hard to not give it a perfect score. I never thought this would pull me away from Dark Souls, but Nintendo pulled some magic stunts with this one. The items are so...useful. All the time
Lcd or plasma?god this game looks terrible on a 42" HDTV
Yep.
