Alright Nintendo, fix the stupid shit in this game please...let's see what we got here:

- Watercolor effect certainly doesn't work anymore

- Forgot about the Beetle item, that was always fun

- Wow, there was basically nothing shown here... $60 for what?

here we go

skyward redemption tour starts now

You keep hanging in the same threads I'm in. Shoo

And yay ! A long trailer. I'mm skpetical of getting the game RN, but it really has deserved proper HD treatment, the colours are stunning.

- Watercolor effect certainly doesn't work anymore

Honestly I hated it. It was a bad effect to hide the crummier details of a bygone hardware.

I wish the sky was even a little more interesting...

Nothing too interesting in this

Can't believe they're still peddling that misleading "Origin of the Master Sword" tripe 10 years later

Damn, the artstyle looks eve worse in HD. I certainly didn't expect that.

I was never a fan of it, but I understand the reason behind when the game was on the Wii, and I expected to translate well to HD (kinda like the WW style), but it seems I was wrong.

Edit. Ballad of the Goddess is still fire tho 👌

Doesn't seem like there were any QoL improvements or any padding removed. Game hasn't aged well but still excited to play it.

I will likely buy it. I wish they had done more with the graphics, I would have preferred a make-over at least to make the visuals look a bit less flat.

Looks fine, great opportunity for those who haven't experienced it yet, but not seeing anything that would make me need to revisit it again. Let alone for full retail. Then again I've not bought a single one of their remaster/remakes so I have pretty high bar they've not come close to thus far.

No QoL changes in this video. In fact, most of the video was cutscenes - little actual gameplay.

Same Skyward Sword. Same items that are glorified keys. Same Simon Says combat. Same old shit.

My fiancée got into The Legend of Zelda back in 2019 with BotW. She loved it. She then played A Link Between Worlds, OoT and Majora's Mask on her 3DS and completely fell in love with the series.
She's super excited about this game and has a copy preordered already. I actually love watching her play TLOZ games, so I'm glad this game is coming out.

I keep forgetting about these things and keep getting surprised when I see them.

Dear Nintendo: We need to talk about this giant ballsack creature

Why does this trailer seem to be talking to me as if this isn't a re release... are they really expecting to find a large new audience for this game? People who's first zelda game was botw are in for some pretty severe whiplash

How is this misleading? It's a pretty accurate according to the lore.
It's misleading in that it's barely what the game is about, and the origin itself is a joke. It was another ancient sword that got reforged in what amounts to macguffin quest within the game. They make a huge deal about this in the marketing both then and now but in the actual story it's just whatever.

I'm getting worried. Are button controls usable outside of handheld mode, like on a Pro Controller?

Me and a bunch of my friends bought this game at launch on Wii. I'm the only one who had the GUTS and DETERMINATION required to finish it.

(it is quite padded, but still a great experience)

I feel like there's a contrast problem with foreground/background. Everything seems to blur together more than I remember it doing.

All these years later, I'm realising my love of the master sword greatly diminished after this game.

Thanks Fi.

I beat you'll still have your horrible singing animation as well in this version too.

Yo this thread is awfully mad about Skyward Sword being Skyward Sword. 🙃

That you don't find it narratively satisfying doesn't make it misleading.

This video gives no incentive for people on the fence and instead spoils some of the game. What the fuck, Nintendo.

I think they show pretty much every major character except for The Imprisoned in this.

It is sorta humourful how Anti-Imprisoned the whole marketing cycle for this game has been. Espicially with how prominent it was in the marketing for the original release.



They use the exact same plummeting beneath the clouds cutscene and just cut the bit where the imprisoned showed up.
