The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Will Have Over 100 Minutes Of Cutscenes

[QUOTE="turtlethetaffer"]

What's your favorite Zelda game? Mine's Majora's Mask. (Also favorite game ever.)

I'd have to go with Ocarina of Time. Part of it's nostalgia for my first Zelda game, but I also really enjoyed the duality of young/adult Link in the context of past and future Hyrule. Majora's Mask is definitely my #2 though. Great, great game.

Psshhaw!

Think Skyward Sword will top it, though?

I think MM is too obscure in game design and bizarre overall, I wouldn't crown it "The best Zelda game" but it's nice to see people love it. It's usually a "type A" game that gets that nod in terms of general consensus. I see it more like a spin off, so even if it's high quality I'd rather pick another Zelda game that represents what the franchise stands for more.

I don't feel like choosing one favorite since SS is definitely the one!

Bolded is what I'm talking about. Zelda is more about environmental interaction, not people, so that's why I think it's sort of a spin-off and the latter is cool as an element of the franchise, not what the franchise mainly stands for. MM is a game that highlights elements which are usually minor in the other games.

It comes down to "What should Zelda be about" so ofc it's all just my opinion.

If SS forces me to get off my lazy *** to fight with the wiimote I will not like it. :|

[QUOTE="Slashkice"]

Legend of Zelda, more like Legend of Movie amirite or amirite??? I'm not good at this :[

On a more serious note, I don't care. I've always enjoyed the story in Zelda games, and I don't think Skyward Sword is going to change that.

I don't see anything wrong with this, especially when the game itself is going to last more than fifty hours.

[QUOTE="Timstuff"]

And let me guess: not one minute of recorded voice acting. :| The game looks dope, and when I someday purchase a Wii this will be a primary factor, but it still ticks me off that Nintendo goes cheap on production values when Zelda is their second biggest franchise. Just my 2¢.

But would Zelda not be better with decent voice acting? :o

As long as we can skip them it is ok. Miroku32

Why would anyone want to skip a cutscene with someone as fabulous as Ghirahim? :question:

I am a big fan of the Zelda games but I am very worried about this. Sure they have nailed the gameplay aspect of the game, but why should the plot be very focus on a game series that has always been hailed by its gameplay?

FireEmblem_Man

Nothing really wrong with that at all.

If the cutscenes are as interesting as the one shown with Giriham, I'm interested.

100 min, any voice acting with that, or is it still the 1980's?

I personnally think this is great. But I assume that doesn't include the text filled cutscenes... I mean he ones you press A to advance...

100 minutes of reading? May not be bad depending on how long the game is.

A Link to the Past>>>>>>>Majora's Mask=Wind Waker>>>Ocarina of Time=Twilight Princess

Come at me, bro

100 minets with 50 to 100 hours of game play. I think...that...is...AWESOME! CAN'T WAIT.

Seriously 1 hour and 40 minets of total cutscence is not that bad.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="DarkLink77"] Wind Waker has a fetch quest that makes up the last third of the game.

How did you two forget the fundamental part of my comment. :cry:

Link to the Past is best! WW was great, but DL's points are true. Fetch quest is le lame! I remember thinking that it'd be 8 more dungeons hidden under the ocean...

Major disappointment that was!

Tri-force fetch quest made me stop playing WW.

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"][QUOTE="charizard1605"]Wind Waker humanizes Ganon AND it has Link stabbing Ganon in the most badass way possible. It also has more charm than all other Zelda games combined. ;)nitekids2004

[QUOTE="nitekids2004"]

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"] Neither of which makes up for the awfulness that is the Triforce fetch quest. Also, that is a blatant lie.DarkLink77

I didn't think it was THAT bad...

Then again I also liked the Water Temple from OoT, so take what I say with a grain of salt. :P

About 8 Triforce pieces, each piece requires a chart which requires a ton of rupees eachto translate.

It could've worked if they had the fetch quest inserted throughout the game. But 8 consecutive ones? bleh.

It was executed poorly, I'd agree, but not "I never want to play this game again" bad. Typically I'd do bonus content by the end of the game and find the shards inbetween as I did do bonus stuff.

That's an hour and forty minutes for a 50 hour game. But it's still a substantial amount for a Zelda game. Wonder what qualifies as "cutscenes?" Oh well, probably wont buy the game to find out anyways.
