Talk:The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Shouldn't this just redirect to Twilight Princess?--Herbsewell 18:21, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * No, this is a different game. It is based off of the statement by Iwata or Miyamoto that Twilight Princess would be the last Zelda game of it's kind. However, I think that Twilight Princess qualifies as the first Zelda game of the next kind, because of the use of the Wiimote.
 * Ah, I did not know. No, it's definitely the same style of Zela games.  That's why it was previously developed for the Game Cube.--Herbsewell 20:28, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Plotline
Any thoughts on the plotline for the next Zelda game? I have a feeling it will take place sometime after Twilight Princess, but before Wind Waker. I think that for some reason, Link, or something he does, will submerge Hyrule in water to defeat Ganondorf.Ptfreak 01:44, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

You're assuming that TP and WW take place in the same timeline. Besides, it says in the prolouge to WW that the people of Hyrule waited for a Hero (probably Link) and he didn't come. They then prayed to the Gods for to stop Gonondorf, and that's why the flood happened. TatlTael 15:14, 25 May 2008 (UTC)


 * If we do, will this conversation have spoilers?--Herbsewell 02:08, 9 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Sorry but this isn’t the place for pure speculation. Unless the speculation has hard evidence to back it up or it’s a widespread theory then it does not belong on Zeldapeida.--ShutUpNavi


 * True. Even though this is a talk page, that kind of speculation and spreading of rumors should probably go on places like forums.--Herbsewell 20:39, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I think this next zelda will take place in the futuristic setting after Wind Waker's Sea disappears and they discover the stone ganon from the final battle of Wind Waker. A young explorer working with the group in a green outfit(Link) pulls it out. Ganon awakens and you have a quick face off you all the sudden the sword brakes after draining most of Ganon's power and Ganon disappers-67.180.225.161 03:07, 17 December 2007 (UTC) Based on some hints dropped by miyamoto, i think this might be the most futuristic zelda to date, as in placing last in the time line. "Well, the story setting for this Zelda is, of course, in a completely different era and Link is older than he was previously. More approaching adulthood. There is one hint. Maybe from the art work you can see that he's not holding a sword." miyamoto speaks of "a different era," and how link isn't holding a sword. maybe he uses a gun in this one? --mccrapper 7:55, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

The time line
Wind Waker and Twilight Princess happened in a different time line after the Adult World after the ending of OoT but if they did happen in the same time line Twilight would have been first by barely a generation or two and I can explain how/why that is(and this is based off facts the game gives people) When Wind Waker starts it says THE HERO OF TIME(Ocarina of times hero) and not the Hero of the ANCIENTS/TWILIGHT (which is Twilight Princess's Link) easily disproving the fact Twilight princess might have happened in the Wind waker time line. Another reason is the fact that In Wind Waker it has numerous ties to OoT from the stain glass under hyrule castle where the master sword is kept to the Forest haven inhabitants.The biggest one which is alittle of a grab bag UNLESS you really paid attention to story without skipping a line in wind waker or twilight princess, is that In Wind Waker's opening it says Ganon escaped from the "dark world" soon after the hero left and plunged hyrule into the sea by himself in his body BUT in Twilight Princess Then theirs the biggest gap in zelda universe that's an undeniable void in zelda visibly disappeared from his hand) and he DIED because like zant said "I'm alive as long as my master is" and that next snap dosen't symbolize life*SPOILER END* their I think I explained that well enough-67.180.225.161 03:06, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * SPOILER WARNING* During the cut scene where your talking with the sages and they tell you how Ganon ALMOST escaped and killed a sage. They sealed him in the twilight world again until he escaped in Zant's body.*SPOILER END*
 * SPOILER WARNING* Ganon Died at the end of twilight princess he LOST the triforce (if

i think the exact quote from wind waker was "the great evil forever thought to have been sealed away by the hero once again crept forth from the depts of the earth" that doesnt necessarly have to be the dark world. it could be some way he was sealed yet to be revealed and the legend wind waker talks about could be the next game (only suggesting not even claiming to support or believe these acusations) Oni Dark Link

presuming that the original and zelda ii happen on the adult time line are very presumed. for one the sea could just be a large lake. even if it is the sea, a sea does exist in the child timeline also. In links awakening he is lost at sea which we know as a direct sequel to a link to the past (as proven by the forms detl takes). also the triforce was also lost at the bottom of the great sea which leaves no explanations as to how it appears in the original and zelda ii. therefore i conclude the original and zelda ii does not exist in the adult time line. Oni Dark  Link -Miyamoto's comment about "no sword" and speculation about the figure resembling the Master Sword are relevant issues as I beleive that it is likely to rely of more amped up partner system of some sort. However, it has appeared to me that the figure is akin to Meldi the Rito sage of WW, there also appear to be illusions to the Great Fairy. My speculation is a toss up of plot from something similar to this...

What might be the base of this Zelda
For the longest time we've known zelda as the middle ages fantasy action adventure role playing game but what it became a futurist fantasy type affair a star wars like weapons with epic zelda story and characters or maybe even a modern twist to zelda where it's more of a kid in modern day world with a sword taking on an evil corporation lead by a male Gerudo. I believe it will not be like the ones we know especially since ganon is dead in the normal time line (OOA/S) in the TP time line and the WW time line (no one would dare try to normally pull a sword out of a Persian looking dudes forehead without good reason or unless it didn't look like a person's forehead I.E. some one brakes ganon's head's off and transforms it into a block of rock meaning he would die). and I hope if they do bring back ganon they have a second male gerudo who is around links age that is in a mental struggle with ganon over the triforce of power but is only your side then if you could switch between that character zelda and link and play throught a normal epic zelda with three full character stories that changes upon your actions

First off, two words: spell check. Second, this is not the place to do speculation. Third- Yeah, no. If I rembember correctly, the Gerudo are all (presumably) dead in WW, so your whole idea winds up not working. Sorry. Have a nice day.

Since this isn't the place for speculation, I created a forum for it: Forum:Zelda Wii. Have fun. Fused Shadow 03:12, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

I hope this isnt made too casual because that would be really annoying for hardcore people.--Skittles the hog 11:50, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Release date?
em not to dissapoint but i heared it was around three years from last november Oni Dark Link

three years since last november looks quite likely to me now. Oni Dark  Link 17:12, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

The sebastian dude who came up with the sales figure was purely speculation on his part. We wont be seeing anything other than a possible teaser trailer or art until 2010.

Well, we finally got our artwork, but I don't think this game is coming till late 2010 or early 2011. They'll keep us posted though, more artwork, maybe a vid at next GDC or E3, and eventuallly a title. --Nunovanhalen (talk) 16:17, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Info
You know when Euji or whatever said TP would be the last of it's kind?Well,TP isn't the last medievil Zelda.PH came out after and it was a medievil zelda.So the next zelda probably won't be futirstic.lol --JayfeatherTalk 17:08, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Uh, what? PH was not medievil at all. Not many of the games are, if only slightly. But Miyamoto has confirmed that the new Zelda Wii will be set in a new era.


 * Yo dude Pic/Vid or it didn't happen DRTJR (talk) 23:10, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Smitherrs442---One thing thats been bothering me and that i still don't really get, most of the time, games are released one year after they are announced, at least that's what i heard. Though miyamoto has confirmed at E3 08 that zelda wii is "far in development", it took them one whole year, and all they released a few months ago at E3 2009 was a single piece of concept art. For TP, we had like 2, or 3 trailers out 2 years before its release. Miyamoto stated that its scheduled for a 2010 release, but it hasnt even been publicly announced yet! does that mean that we'll see it only at the start of 2011? Or has nintendo been so immersed in production that they didnt think it would be necessary to show a trailer? I personally don't mind if its moved to 2011, it would only be a matter of waiting a couple months extra at most. And if it means that delaying it a little would make the game even better because they'd be working on it more, then that's fine. I just don't really get why they6 haven't at least shown us a short teaser trailer if they've been working on it for so long. and why didn't he want to show that artwork publicly? Any thoughts? --Smitherrs442 (talk) 19:43, September 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * Official reason is there not making trailers so they can work on the games(witch in my opinion is perfectly ok in my books)DRTJR (talk) 20:55, September 2, 2009 (UTC)

The Name
No, it's a tentative title. ALOT of games have tenative titles before its official release

Don't we already know of the new system? Or...
Point at phantom hourglass. It is the first demonstration of the new type. It was after TP, remember? Could TP have been the last prequel? Phantom hourglass finally continued the adventures of the wind waker. It was after TP so this would make sense.


 * It won't be like Metroid Dread; nobody said anything about Metroid Dread other than a reporter and a Nintendo official even said Metroid Dread is not being made. However, Miyamoto officially said it's in development, so it will definitely come out within then next few years. All I want is a Majora's Mask-like story.--Richard 02:14, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

E308
"The Mario and Zelda teams are currently hard at work" Reggie's direct words from the Nintendo press conference he has no reason to lie to us so I don't think this will become a Metroid Dread maybe.Vault009Dweller 04:00, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Game Developers Conference update
According to Zelda Dungeon, the game announced at the GDC is 'The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks'. For the DSi.
 * Zelda Wii and The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks are two different things, as Miyamoto said at E3 2008 that a Wii Zelda game is in development. Spirit Tracks is for the DS, so it is not Zelda Wii.--Richardtalk 18:31, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Ocarina of Time Remake
Maybe it happens in termina DRTJR (talk) 21:41, 2 June 2009 (UTC)DRTJR

Maturity Level
Something I really wonder about is what the rating/focus of the game will be. Will it stick with the T-rating, semi-hardcore focus? Will it become even more hardcore and get an M-rating? Or will it go with an E10+ rating, with a slightly lighter focus (though I doubt it)? - FstrthnU

No one knows just that it will be different

The maturity of TP came from mainly the fact you saw alot of people die up front. in the siege on Zelda's throne room you saw Twili come in and snap some of her guards necks. Zant you saw die twice when you fought and killed him, then when Ganon died his neck suddenly snapped with a slightly sickening sound(a sudden pop that wasn't to loud but was audible) to it. The violence in general was much more in your face then any other Zelda game which puts it at that T however as long as Miyamoto is alive I don't believe we'll see it go for that full M, the only game I can see going for that full M anytime soon that's a first party Nintendo game is Metroid-Vault009Dweller (talk) 20:49, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Should we protect this?
With E3 being only a few days away should their be some protection on this page? Let's say something does get announced, alot of people are going to want to add there little bits of information and everything may become one big mees on this page. Plus it might make patrolling a pain in the ass. But on the chance (a pretty big one) that nothing is announced I can see alot of pissed off fanboys editing this page and taking out their anger by vandalizing it. I have seen that happen on a couple of wikis in the past. What do you think?Zabbeth (talk) 21:14, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Looks weird to me. --Auron  Kaizer !  09:24, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

whats even worse is that the second picture shows link right handed! thats not fair! Oni Dark  Link 10:58, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Blue figure in teaser poster.
ALOT of websites are saying it is the Master Sword in human form. Hence what Miyamoto hinted at the end of the interview and why Link has no sword in the poster. It does fit with the general character, the jewel, the blueness, the dress frilling outwards like that. Should it be included? Since it does fit EXTREMELY well.


 * That's...disturbing. Acurret but very disturbing.   Metroidhunter32  13:28, 5 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Could be, like there was a fairy in the Gale Boomerang. Speaking of which! This blue figure looks familiar to the Fairy Queen in Wind Waker, although I doubt that it is her. Portal-  Kombat


 * Almost identical to the Fairy Queen person. Same hat-thing, same skin, same eyes, same face, same flowing clothes. (Here's her picture for comparison.) I'd say it is her. While Nintendo's been known to make similar-looking but different characters, I can't help but see her in this picture. (Also: older characters; she was last seen in WW as a child, as was Link. (She's not human, though, but whatever.)) &mdash; SheeEttin {T/C} 21:45, November 11, 2009 (UTC)

simalarities of the blue figure and the master sword
Has anyone noticed the similarities of the blue figure and the master sword. as in sorry about my poor spelling and grammar Pichu241 (talk)
 * 1) on the figures legs there is the same green vine pattern as the master sword
 * 2) the bottom of her dress thing flairs out like the master sword
 * 3) on the hip there is a thing similar to the blue part of the master sword
 * 4) its head somehow resembles the triforce
 * 5) when the light hits the figures head it somehow looks more like a sword
 * 6) the jewel kind of resembles the jewel in the master sword
 * 7) and just somehow its just looks like the master sword

i agree with you about the idea of it (i dont like it) but the similaritys are uncanny. Oni Dark  Link 10:27, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

I believe that Miyamoto would have the Figure change back in between forms, not that you would grab it by the neck and swing it around. And if a Like Like did steal his sword, I believe they would've shown a Like Like in the concept art. Plus I'm pretty sure Like Likes take shields before swords. The owner of the Bazaar in Hyrule Town says there is a monster that eats 'shields' not swords.

I think she looks a little like midna's real Twili form

to me it looks like a smaller zant but that's meDRTJR (talk) 01:52, 9 June 2009 (UTC)DRTJR

ganondorf has come back to life in the body of a like like. hes called like ganon. Oni Dark  Link 10:38, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

ya know, if this is a TP sequel, it is possible that it is the queen fairy of wind waker, just native to the TP branch of the timeline173.48.141.29 01:16, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Miyamoto already said that this has nothing to do with Twilight Princess, its a whole new story.--Nunovanhalen (talk) 16:54, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

weapons
I hope this game brings back some of the old weapons not in wind waker or twilight princess. like the lens of truth. that is such a simple but brilliant device (wolf senses just werent as good). and we never so that invisabilty cloak from link to the past again did we? twilight princess was also missing a hammer. while wind waker was missing a second equipedable sword. that also makes me think abou the complete irrelivane of being able to piick your sword and shield in tp. theres no point. why would you pick the orden sword if you had the master sword. anyway im going to end this rant now. bottem line bring back the lens of truth. Oni Dark  Link 10:02, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Final Boss Ideas?
Just wondering if you guys have any ideas of what the main villian in this game will be like. I imagine either Dark Link or a newly introduced humanoid being. --Nunovanhalen (talk) 20:34, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Bet its Zant, If not zant it may be the Postman...--LEEKDUCK

Ok mabye not Zant...--LEEKDUCK

Zant is dead and gone, Thank God In my scale of hate he is #2 behind tingle(#1) and before Navi(#3)173.10.230.150 19:34, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Tingle haters are everywhere!!!!!, If zants dead that only leaves the postman, the Postman will attack Hyrule with his army of junk mail and charging at people whilst shouting at them, People will recieve too many Tesco advertisments and Letters from the local goverment and other political partys, to the extent that they may start loosing hope in life, But their is one hope

Link can go and thwart the Evil Postman in his steps before he Floods Hyrule in Ikea Posters and Fan mail from that weird Bug girl, but is he strongg enough, We will have to wait until:

THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: POSTAL FEES

Coming soon...--LEEKDUCK

I actualy like the posty but HE seems like he could go mad with power--LEEKDUCK

Section "A different Zelda"
Shigeru Miyamoto has stated that Twilight Princess will be "without a doubt, the last Zelda game as you know it in its present form." Does this mean this game is a reboot to the series like Resident Evil 4 or games will be different from now on, after this game? SNA 02:17, 18 August 2009 (UTC) i hope it means we get Ganondorf, Vaati, Dark link, and The skull kid in one Game DRTJR (talk) 04:05, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

2 things about the article
--SNA 00:43, October 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) Can we remove the youtube video since it deffinitely isn't relevant?
 * 2) Will the sections 2008, 2009 and Rumors be deleted when this game comes out?

Think!!!!!!
Remember when you first meet the fairy queen in WW at mother and child isles and she gives you the fire/ice arrows?? At the end of your conversation she gets all awkward and says that Link is just her type?? Maybe the figure that you guys think is the master sword is the great fairy and link is either marrying her or has a relationship!!! Etecoonboy (talk) 01:58, November 10, 2009 (UTC)
