Chad, I'm so glad that you did the preview! I am now super excited once again for Skyward Sword!
Also, the boss fight shot: He is one cocky sumbitch.

Does that boss have a name yet? Can't be Vaati, he isn't a smug close ranged fighter like that douche. Also Vaati isn't as ugly (have you seen the close up shot of his gigantic eyes and lips?).
Judging from everything I've heard so far, I believe that this game has the potential to be the best game in the series.
If Nintendo can tap into the same creative energy that they found with Twilight Princess and make everything work well together, we are in for one HELL of a treat.

On the one hand, this is really cool and the near 1:1 motion control should do a lot to help this game feel fresh, but I'm worried that the amount of movement required will affect my game time. To use Metroid Prime as an example: using the Wiimote to aim is a lot more effective, but I tend to play the game for much shorter sessions on Wii than I did on Gamecube, because I get tired of holding my arm up at the TV.
So excited for this game! It`s been forever since the last home console Zelda, and I am SO ready to jump into Hyrule again.
Very nice preview, Chad. Short and sweet. :)

I am so glad gamers in the media don't work at Nintendo. We'd be stuck with no real advances in interactivity.
Here's what I read:
"This is what you would expect from a Zelda game"
"The items are very similar to past Zelda games"
"As for the puzzles, they were classic Zelda"
So aside from the bird stuff it's the same as every other Zelda game. Gotcha.
Pass.

Oh Taerden. We get it. You hate Zelda. Yet you keep reading and posting on these threads. You are neither edgy, sophisticated, or original for doing so. So just what kind of moron are you?
Oh UltorOscairut. We get it. You're a fanboy. Yet you keep letting other people's opinions enter your mind. Why instead of just playing your Nintendo games do you go out of your way to make assumptions about me in order to make me look like I have goals that I don't even actually have like being 'edgy' or 'original'? If I was looking to be original the last place I would do it is in a Nintendo article.
How about you keep your false assumptions to yourself, and get some actual standards? Is it really such a crime for me to ask for more from a product?

I think Reggie already said it doesn't upscale Wii games, check his interview at Gametrailers.

Sorry, Taerdin, it's just hard to not think of you as a moron the way you keep ignoring the article's actual content in order to support your preconceived notions of what the next Zelda game will be like.
Oh Taerdin.. That defensive, deflective diatribe would have mattered, if a simple review of your comment history shows you spent a better part of the day, bitching about Nintendo. You don't like them, that's fine. Post a comment, say your peace, but move on, chief. Carrying on all day makes you one a troll, a fanboy, and a cunt, all rolled into one.
Hugs & Kisses,
Ultor

Darxbloop, can you explain how quoting lines from the article directly implies that I ignored the article?
You can call me a moron if you want, I prefer to think of it as just being harder to impress. I'll need to see the game in action for myself before buying into it, a few lines of text and screenshots is not enough for me. I tend to call this 'having standards'.

Are the bird races really that fun? or are they annoying like the buzzard rides in Super Mario Galaxy 2? Are they mandatory?
Thanks for the preview, wish I could try it out, I'm really, really looking forward to seeing how well the swordplay is with wii motion plus.... Red Steel II was my fave wii game, so I'm betting this will be better, no doubt..
The only other thing that concerns me is the difficulty. I'm definitely not of the party that thinks zelda games have gotten "too easY" if anything, they've gotten to meticulous and difficult. Don't get me wrong, I love zelda games, but I've lost interest in some of the recent titles because of having to spend too much time in one area.... it just gets to be a chore and no longer fun when you get stuck in the same area for a while. I've played twilight princess several times and then put it down when something else sparked my attention. IMHO the SNES zelda game was the best, it was straight forward and you did'nt have to spend hours in one area or have to lead another character around with a stylus. I want more of a focus on combat, I'm afraid that if the puzzles get too meticulous, I'll end up never finishing this one, like so many of the other recent zelda games.....I've got some major ADHD that makes it hard to play these games...

UltorOscariot... you're allowed to bitch about me, and whatever else you want. What's wrong with me posting whatever my opinion happens to be? Articles get dozens of comments including their take on something, I'm just posting mine as well.
If it really bothers you so much then start your own website where only your opinion is allowed to be posted

Also, how am I a fanboy for criticising Nintendo? Shouldn't that be the opposite of fanboism? Where a fanboy would see a few screenshots and read a little impression and think it's the best game ever, someone who is not a fanboy would wait to see more before forming a full opinion on something.
I'm just saying that if anyone here is a fanboy it's certainly not me.

So from the info I'm hearing now, the bird-riding will be like sailing in Wind Waker, in that you will use it to travel across the "sea" of clouds to reach islands in the sky.
AWESOME.
AWESOME.
Taerden, buddy, pal, post a cblog. Gather your thoughts into a context that allows a allows you to give an adequate airing of your thoughts and the support for your assertion. Effectively shouting "OLD!" into comment sections does you no service.
There are plenty of good reasons to rip Niintendo a new one, like their refusal to date to commit to a relevant online infrastructure, their sub par inferfaces, their unwillingness to go the distance to turn their systems into a unified platform/experience when they could if they gave a damn,etc. But gutter sniping Nintendo stories all day makes you look like a twat. And get yourself an avatar. You may be capable of thought, and should distinguish yourself from the rifraf that comes in here to bitch about Jim's review scores.

Alrighty....this video and a couple others I've just watched are pretty much enough to sell me on a Wii-U. This looks fantastic!!
If the Zelda WiiU was a real game right now, Id still be more excited for Skyward Sword... which is definitely saying something considering how fucking incredible that looked. It might actually beat Wind Waker as the most gorgeous art style of all time. I can't get over how freaking unbelievably beautiful SS looks. The gameplay sounds amazing. I truly believe we're going to get the best Zelda of all time this year.
Taerdin:
Are you really starting fights in zelda articles?
The new zelda info doesn't seem to interest you thats cool, others want to taunt you? Then ignore them!
Also once the game comes out you should try it, cause god knows every first person shooter looks like the same damn thing but that doesn't stop me from giving it a chance.

This is why I dislike journalists sometimes... They get to play new Zelda games before me. Nonetheless, thanks for the preview. Hopefully replaying Link's Awakening, OoT 3DS, and Four Swords will tide me over 'till this is released.
Whoever that dude is, he is catching the motherfucking [/i]Master Sword[/i] between his fingers.
Dude's got a perfect right to be cocky.
