From what we've seen, Skyrim looks better. But I think we should see more of what Skyward Sword has to offer before judging it.

Wish I could say Zelda but I don't have much faith. I have a feeling its going to continue the N64 feel of TP. While Skyrim is going to be bigger and better in just about every way. I won't miss Zelda for anything, I have no doubt it will still be a very fun, very polished game, but the glory days of Zelda could be over...

Hey it ain't my fault, I'd love to play another Zelda masterpiece more then any other game in existence, I just don't have much faith in the Wii's ability/Nintendo's inclination to make one...

So what is it going to take for Skyward sword to impress? Should they just scrap it all together and start work on Zelda for Project cafe?

A skyward sword is like only good for enemies that jump, and I don't know about rimming the sky... I suppose I'd take the sword.

haven't we had this thread a couple times already over the last few months? Zelda sure doesn't seem to command alot of respect around here. But maybe it never did?

Can't wait until the end of this year when Skyward Swords owns the lot of ya :D

[QUOTE="campzor"]oh god... 2 games which i have 0 interest in. I'd say skyrim, because even though im not a fan of wrpgs.. everything ive seen in skyward sword looks very lackluster (majorly the controls) And some stuff in skyrim looks pretty good.

Wow, its funny how you disregard a game JUST because it has motion controls. Even though you didn't play it

Skyward sword will be 90% rehash from older Zelda games and will still score higher because everyone overrates zelda games despite the fact that its aged. Skyrim will still be the better game though.

Nah, I'm just asking, what will get you to really like Skyward Sword? How about if it has great dungeon designs and alot of sidequests? Those are things that they're capable of doing on the wii yes?

Why would you not give them a chance? That is just a strange attitude to have. I gave Halo a chance, turns out its pretty fun and is one of few games I miss my 360 for. I gave the MGS series a chance (just played them over a year ago for the first itme) and its one of my favorite series out there. I suggest you do the same for what is my favorite seires of all time.

I will really like it, I just don't see it being at the peak 10/10 quality like Ocarina or Link To The Past. Rival games have caught up and surpassed Zelda in most areas. TP plays almost exactly like N64 Zelda, with some lame motion controls thrown in and no challenge whatsoever... After playing TP, considering the Wii's hardware limits, and Nintendo's styIe, I just don't expect much that can challenge Skyrim or even Oblivion much...

I don't understand how someone can rip on Zelda for still being a free roaming world with dungeons and such with similar combat, when TES is going to be a big world, with leveling and similar combat and such. I mean they both are adding to the series but neither are breaking from their confines that much. Nor should they, for the most part. Zelda has always had a great style, and while they could throw in some interesting things and change stuff up a bit, I hope they never go to far from its roots.

Skyrim baby! Skyrim has dragons and screaming vikings, and radiant storytelling. Radiant storytelling > blonde person in green outfit running around with a sword that has something to do with the sky.

Big_Pecks

All we have really seen is the WM+ controls... which looks badass I have to say, I am sure it's going to be a lot of fun.

When did Nintendo say Miyamoto was "heavily involved"?

AmayaPapaya

Of course he is heavily involved, he is in countless interviews about the game, showed it off at E3.

Also check this interview, good info about how they came to making the game, they say Miyamoto is the one who said to use WM+.

NaveedLife

I want the core Zelda design to stay the same, but to get bigger better and more bad ass! (to quote Cliffy B :P)

I want Hyrule to be massive, tons of NPCs and sidequests and exploration (like Oblivion) not small and sterile and N64ish like TP.

I want cities and villages to be big. Assassin's Creed has spoiled me here, but at least bigger then a couple of enterable buildings on a couple of screens...

I want tons of enemies wandering about, like Dead Rising or what have you. How about SEEING Ganon's giant armies instead of just hearing about them!?

I want more items, weapons, magic, horses and whatnot. More hidden treasure and secrets and just funny wacky stuff: Oblivion, you can find a dead goblin under a bridge with loads of wine bottles and a suicide note! Or make poison out of plants, coat arrows in it and hunt deer, then sell the meat. Or find a spell taht allows you to walk on water and run about on lakes. Just random fun variety and interactivity.

Not really for Wii, but ideally HD graphics, orchestra surround sound, top quality voice acting would be good.

Dungeons are fine, core design is fine, story is fine, just scale everything the **** up and stop reminding me of Ocarina in the worst possible way!

Thats my Zelda rant, I hope you enjoyed it, though you probably disagree as does everyone else ever :P
