Was reading about the new Zelda release date (http://blog.stack.com/2011/08/23/release-date-announced-for-legend-of-zelda-skyward-sword/) and was wondering how this ranks in terms of excitement of other Zelda releases? Not sure if anything can top Ocarina of Time, but the combat system might put my level of excitement up there with it! What Zelda were you most excited for?

A week before my birthday :) Can't wait, this could be "Zelda Galaxy" rather then "Zelda Sunshine", if I can mix Nintendo's two biggest franchises together :P

The promise of changing up the formula, new art design, flight, and the new controls all have me very excited. I haven't been this excited about a game in years.

Psyched. Love the Zelda series. They already gave me Donkey Kong. Now all they need to do is give me Star Fox Wii and F-Zero Wii. My life will be complete ^_^

Haha not likely, I'm pretty sure I'm me :P But yeah, doesn't look like it at this point. It's such a shame, Star Fox and F-Zero were excellent, GX remains one of my favorite racing games to this day.

the death of the wii is sad..as much as Nintendo did great on sales, they really came up short on the games for the wii. Sure there are many classics (SMG, DK etc) but it could have been the new SNES

Nothing can ever match the SNES, almost everything on the SNES was a new idea, even with the motion controls, the Wii was mostly, just changing the way you play, not reinventing it. But as far as the 1st party goes, this is as close as Nintendo has gotten to the SNES, keeping in mind the difference in development practices. If games could be made as quickly as they could on the SNES and you could get more than 2 good license games per gen, who knows.

E3 trailer had me excited for the first time, E3 demos made me care significantly less again. Obviously going to buy it, since it is Zelda and the last home console release was 5 years ago, but that's it.

The controls simply look annoying. I'm a defender of motion controls in more complex game, if done well like in No More Heroes, Silent Hill, Red Steel 2, etc., but this seems to distend it way too much. Sure, we all wanted proper motion controlled combat since the Wii was announced, but I certainly don't need waggle for climbing, swinging on lianas, escalating on the bird, etc. etc.

Already almost killed DK Country Returns for me. Waggling for rolling and blowing. It doesn't mimic anything the character does in game, doesn't improve the gameplay and is simply unnecessary.

But the reason they release in November is because most people do there Christmas shopping on the Friday after Thanksgiving in the United States anyway and that is the Friday after Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword releases in North America.

That is the biggest shopping day of the year.

On a scale on 1 to 10 I would say my excitement is Triforce!! lol. Hard to believe I was only three when I played Zelda for the first time. 25 years in the making. Can't wait. And what a bundle huh?

I'm excited but the the only thing that turns me off is the idiotic animations as Link is running around with his sword. It looks stupid, and it doesn't have an epic feeling as link fights or maneuvers. No doubt due to the motion controls. Obviously Nintendo could have done a better job at programming the animations and sensitivity of the M+ in relation to movements.

9 days after Skyrim. It's gonna be a busy November.

At least Twilight Princess and Oblivion had the courtesy to come out 8 months apart.

ALttP GBA was my first Legend of Zelda game, and it really is an amazing game I beat it once (with walkthrough). Not remembering it much I started playing on my DS again when I stopped I took it out and I guess it was knocked in the trash. Darn, was I looking everywhere for it, around last year, and still no sign anyway I agree with this suggestion (long way to do it but who cares). That is IF you can find it. I prefer that version because I'm used to it I guess so I haven't just bought the VC one. (On a separate side note: I didn't realize this was a series of games until TP which I rented (GC) and bought for the Wii so yeah it is not pure nostalgia running the series [just throwing that out there] also TP was awesome.[Skyward Sword just looks way better])

At first I was like, 'what ever'. And then I started playing The Wind Waker a few days ago and I was like 'holy @#$%!' this is one of the best games I have played. So now I want the Skyward Sword and the Twilight Princess.

good thing about Zelda games is that they are going to print millions and millions of copies. I can wait a while and still find it without much trouble (it'll still cost me full price, though).

I've never liked Zelda,or any RPG for that matter - but I think I'm in the minority.
