Zelda fans love all things Zelda. They will eagerly scarf down Link’s table scraps and call it Thanksgiving dinner. However, that’s not because Zelda fans are suckers. It’s because Zelda games have for a very long time been quite brilliant without exception.
The Early Black Friday US deals for Nintendo games are quite impressive. From Pokemon to Fire Emblem, here are some awesome sales.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword was originally released for the franchise’s 25th anniversary, celebrating everything Zelda, including the bosses.
If you’re a hardcore fan of The Legend of Zelda series, Playasia has a new Skyward Sword original soundtrack. It comes in a standard edition with a total of five CDs and a limited edition that also includes a music box.
When the last two true console Zelda games were revealed (Wind Waker and Twilight Princes) we got epic trailers and showcased awesome things. Wind Waker showed us the amazing and vast gameplay of Wind Waker along with great combat. The Twilight Princess trailer was just all around outstanding. The graphics were great, design was interesting, and the combat was improved. When they showed off Zelda: Skyward Sword...they were just playing a random part of the game and the controls kept giving them issues. Nothing cool was shown, nothing interesting....nothing at all. It's like showing off Final Fantasy XIII for the first time with random combat and roaming around; a ton of people wouldn't care.
The Wind Waker Trailer was revealed at Space World wasn't it? And as I recall people were PIST when they saw that trailer. So much so that when Twilight Princess was revealed years later, it brought fans to tears.
But as for Skyword Sword. The reveal was a tad disappointing to me, at least. For one, the art style wasn't what I was expecting. Two, the trailer was not so much a trailer to show the entirety of the game, but instead the gameplay mechanics. And three, the interference during the presentation was just the icing on the cake of disappointment lol.
However, When I saw HQ vids of the game in motion, with out interference. One, I became a fan of the art style as it looks very fluid. Two, the motion controls looks incredible, and Three, the actual demo area isn't even in the final game. Why I like this is that, since this internet explosion, surprises are a thing of the past, and after trailers and hands on previews, you know what to expect from a game before you play it.
So for me, the fact that everything we've seen isn't even a part of the actual game is a plus for me. It allows the imagination to go wild, and that's what video games used to be able to do.
Whenever a new Zelda game is announced, everyone always says this. Boo hoo the cel shading and boat, boo hoo the wolf, boo hoo the art style....
I thought the zelda looked great and besides the miyamoto demo played great and Iam looking foward to it. I'm sure everyone will buy it like they always do.
