Skyward Sword is gonna be the best game ever made... everything else is gonna eb for noobs..... ssssssccrubby noobs!!!
Sounds amazing! Wind Waker's style was fantastic and this game borrowing stuff from that as well as older Zelda-games really has me hoping that this game will be superduperenjoyablemazing!
I bought Motion Plus a couple of weeks ago just for Skyward Sword. Can. Not. Fucking. Wait. I'm so excited about this game, I feel like I'm ten. Every time I think of that game, I form both my hands into fists and make a buzzing sound of excitement. You made me do this right now and it's not the first time you do that to me, Holmes. Stop with the Zelda news already, I know this game is going to be bananas, this cock teasing is killing me, man.
HOW DARE YOU TEMPT ME WITH SKYWARD SWORD SPOILERS
Seriously though, the pre-break text makes me bubbly on the inside. I can't wait for this.

My main problem with this game is that Link looks like an idiot when he runs around. And that's a pretty lame main problem to have! Everything else about this looks awesome.
Hay Holmes. What I take from this is that Skyward Sword is like all the previous Zelda games...just better in what it does. Considering your dislike for the been there done that of the Call of Duty series, how does this differ? Ps. I don't want to sound negative on this, I just can't think of another way to say it. I enjoy both Zelda and COD and just want to hear your take on it.
@ Logic and Scotty- Skyward Sword has all new character designs, music, setting, scenario, controls, abilities, weapons, and graphics. It follows the structure of past 3D Zelda games, but that's about it.
Of course, there is also the fact that it has 1:1 motion controls for sword fighting, something that has not been done in a full length 3rd person action/adventure title in the past. That really changes everything.
It's without a doubt the best use of motion controls in a game yet. If the Wii had launched with Skyward Sword instead of Twilight Princess, I think things would have gone very differently for the console in regards to 3rd parties.
So yeah, Skyward Sword is not like all the other Zelda games, but it takes some elements from them and improves upon them, in the midst of throwing mountains of innovation upon you. It's exactly what a sequel should be, and extrapolation that stays true to the core series tenents.
Also, to say that all the Zelda games do the game thing incredibly silly. Majora's Mask allows you to alter time and play Groundhog Day with an entire community, while exploring different cultures from the inside out. Wind Waker allows you to take control of a child who explores the entire planet, and eventually stabs a grown man in the head. Twilight Princess is a game about a boy who turns into a wolf who can travel between different dimensions while being ridden like a horse by a cat-woman-thing that can grow a giant demon hand out of its head and use it to swing from tree to tree like Bionic Commando.
If it weren't for the fact that those games share the Zelda name, the same main character, and dungeon-overworld-dungeon structure, no one would assume that they're in the same series. Compare that to something like CoD, where the games are all nearly interchangeable, and the difference is pretty clear.

In the Zelda series (for the most part) I am a guy with a piece of the triforce trying to help a girl who has another piece defeat another guy who has the third piece. Each game has me doing it in a different way with different tools and mechanics that have evolved over time. In COD I play the roll of different people using different mechanics (planes, helicopters, boats, etc...) and different tools (rocket launchers, machine guns, sniper rifles, etc...) to stop a bomb or a missile or a submarine or stab some guy in the head. If you replace swordplay for basic gun fights then I see the carryover from both these games are fairly similar. (again, I like both these series, not hating) In COD, there is probably going to be a level with a helicopter and in Zelda there is probably going to be a water temple.
I see the key difference being the presentation. One is a gritty real world adrenalin pumped experience while the other is a whimsical fantasy experience. I would propose that the reason you are disinterested in COD is not because of the been there, done that aspect but just that you have no interest in that sort of experience in the first place and would prefer to be embraced by someone's pure imagination without the need to be based in a plausible real world experience.
I guess my only real point is that people who hate all the repetitive shooters probably need to identify that the vast majority of games are repetitive in one way or another and that that is not always a bad thing. Imagine watching a medical show and then saying "well, I can't watch any more episodes or any other medical shows now cause they are all more or less the same".
Zelda is a great fantasy series but by now I know by reflex that a cracked wall means I need to go find some bombs.

@Cryotek
I hope your mother is free today, if she is, tell her to stop by my place, because my balls dried out since the last time she visited, which was yesterday. Thank you.
Seriously though, fuck off.

@Cryotek You be a grown assed man, act like one. How can you judge games as overrated when you havent even finished them nor have the intention to? If you have no interest in skyward sword, save the comment space for others

"You didn't expect a Zelda game to do exactly what previous Zelda games have done?"
Twilight Princess really didn't have the "magic" of any past Zeldas. No time travel; no ship travel, etc.
Skyward Sword looks like it's providing us with many direct homages to past games. A lot of Zelda games do not do that: ie Minish Cap, etc.

Hmm maybe that is why Twilight Princess has been my favorite zelda since Majoras Mask. The ship travel and train systems of Hyrule are interesting and all but just give me Epona, for a simple horse is all the fast travel I need.

@logic
dood the story in all zelda games is different ,in some theres no tri force or zelda, just look at majora mask theres no zelda or tri force and in links awakening everything is a dream, in wind waker you have to collect the tri force fragments and you dont know tetra is zelda until almost the end, and in spirit tracks she even helps you, there's other zelda games where you dont save zelda or have to find the tri force but i think you get the point whit those examples, the point is if you ignore half the games and put the story in a nutshell and dont even try to understand all the games on the serie, then of course they will all look the same to you dood :/

Got my Special Edition pre-order, so BRING IT!
I thought the third dungeon would be more like a mine level from early footage, to see it having these futuristic elements and time travelling is AWESOME.
Anyone calling Zelda 'predictable' has their head lodged firmly up their arse. You would need the psychic powers to predict Zelda.
@Logic Incarnate
You name is very ironic.
OH WAIT. ONE TINY ELEMENT OF A ZELDA STORYLINE MAY FOCUS ON THE TRIFORCE!!! IT ALSO HAS A SWORD!!!
TOO PREDICTABLE!!!
I mean, who cares about the actual MECHANICS, ART STYLE, NARRATIVE, GAMEPLAY, WORLD DESIGN and CONTENT right? RIGHT?
The Call of Duty comparison is just shameful.

@ariashadow
I have played and finished all the console Zelda games (and some of the portable ones) and I get that the stories are different and that they occasionally break the mold but you have to admit that the basic story structure is the same in the majority of the games and there are a ton of re-occurring themes both mechanically and in the story. Putting the story in a nutshell is exactly what people do when criticizing the COD games as "it is a brown shooter".
Again, I am not saying anything is wrong with that I am just pointing out that certain people point to Call of Duty as being a waste of time because it is the same thing over and over again yet I have not really seen any criticism leveled Zelda's way when it also repeats itself.

Both Zelda and COD need a better reboot. I want the old 2d action because it was actually hard as fuck. Darknuts were scary and dying was part of the game. I did not die at all while playing OOT or WW. I have died during TP but only really in the Cave of Ordeal which was fucking awesome. I hope to see another arena like area to test my skills and attrition. Skyward Sword looks to be one of the best entries into the series but it is still a 3d game. I guess I just prefer the pixels over the polygons.
