Zelda Skyward Sword GDC Trailer

Glad to see this game still exists :)

Pause the video at 0:25. It appears Link has a harp mapped to the Dpad. Return of instruments is good.

Also:

It's Zelda. Of course I'll buy it.

I'm looking forward to it. I actually like TP quite a bit, but I'm hoping I like this more.

I'm not super hyped yet, but when it gets closer to release, I'm sure I'll be excited as hell. Just as I always am before a new Zelda release. :)

Looks pretty cool. I like how the M+ puzzles seem quite varied and smart (like the block that you have to rotate) not just shoehorned in. The designs of the enemies and stuff are also neat, and they differentiate themselves from what we saw in the other games well. I particularly really liked the statue boss at around 1:00 (don't know how I feel about the emo chick, though :P).

I've decided for the time being to regard this game as something on the level of Spirit Tracks, not really as a "major" Zelda. That's not to say anything about the quality of the game (like I said, it looks cool), but if I keep expecting it to blow me away and become the revolutionary Zelda I've been waiting for or whatever, I think I'll be disappointed no matter what. And if the scope and story elements turn out better than I expect...well, I'll just be pleasantly surprised. And sort of owned. :o

This is my stance, I liked TP, not hyped yet for this, but I know I will be. 

truth be told, all they have to do is deliver on the dungeon designs and sidequests and I'm happy.Shinobishyguy

I'm sure the dungeons will be great as always, but they seriously need to get back on the ball with the sidequests. We haven't had a real set of sidequests since 2003. :|

I'm at a loss to explain why this trailer is getting universal hate. Did they switch Link with Hitler or something?789shadow

My biggest fear going from TP to this, was that it would be just as easy, as much as I really enjoyed TP, I actually had a hard time understanding how it would be possible for some bosses to even hurt you, it was just so insanely easy.

Now with the motion controls for this, I imagine they can't try to make it hard because then it might take too much physical effort or something.. all the fights seem to be, hit once to reveal weakpoint, hit weakpoint. Of course you can't judge the difficulty of a game from a trailer, but this is my one serious fear. 

I liked the music, the graphics, the enemy design, and how the use of motion controls look. Nice trailer, not of the "THIS IS EPIC PHWOOOOOOOOOAR" kind, but it showed what it needed to show.

JRPG elements confirmed. 

JRPG elements confirmed. Cherokee_Jack

So true :lol:

do want.

the IGN Rewind thing is interesting to watch, too

I want Midna back. Midna was the best part of Twilight Princess.foxhound_fox

If Midna is another way of saying Arbiters Ground, then yes, Midna was the best part of Twilight Princess.

Pretty crappy trailer though. The colours are all washed out, why isn't Nintendo releasing an actual direct feed trailer of this.

But like Iwata said, it was pretty much random scenes just showing off the motion plus. The hud still looks horrible too.

E3 trailer will probably show off the overworld and story stuff.

Enemies and bosses looked great though. Interesting to see the instrument is now a harp.

I don't think temporary or optional GUIs is unlike anyone, its just a thing. 

Either way, E3 was a long time ago and that seems like a very unnintendo-like thing to do.DaViD_99

I think it's totally a Nintendo-like thing to beat you over the head with some new concept at first. If there were concerns about it at E3 and it wasn't already optional, they had tons of time to do it and I think they would.

you don't seem to want to believe that you can turn it off in the first place :|

We were? 

[QUOTE="IronBass"]It was confirmed you can turn off the HUD.DaViD_99

We were?

In TP you could choose if you wanted to have the item wheel displayed or not. That quote means the WiiMote HUD will be similar.

"in Zelda, is the HUD a work in progress, with the on-screen controller? It was designed and implemented for E3. Will it change? Yes. At E3 we're throwing a lot of things at you at once, and we made something for people to quickly understand."

hrrm.
